You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Custom 2 Bedroom Casita On a Ridge

Lovely, private guest house with stunning views of two converging mountain ranges (the Catalinas and Rincons). Located very close to Sabino Canyon and the Canyon Ranch. This private 4-room house is custom and comfortably furnished. It has high ceilings and big rooms. There is a full-sized eat-in kitchen with regular-sized appliances. The living room has great views and comfy seating for 4. A fully stocked library, a smart TV, videos and Includes Wifi. The bathroom including the shower is all done in natural slate (definitely is on the small side). The two bedrooms are very comfortable and have some of the most exceptional views in Arizona.

It is a great location for someone who wants to experience the best of the Tucson's nature and not be far from great activities and restaurants. Access the Canyon Ranch trail to the Sabino creek for an easy hike. Don't be surprised if you see some wildlife prancing by your window as well.

When it is hot out go for a morning swim - the use of the pool is at your disposal and right out your side door (in season - sorry not heated). (Please note: Although you can use the jetted spa it too comes unheated. The option of making it a hot tub is available at $25 per 4 hour session).The pool is shared with the main house but there usually is limited overlap. Easy parking right out the front door. Generously-sized kitchen with full-sized oven and side by side refrigerator. Right out on the kitchen patio is a gas barbeque so you can grill to your heart's content.

I respectfully decline all requests to use the house/pool for parties, weddings, family reunions etc. It is not suited for special events. Please be forthcoming about number guests and their ages. Because of the pool no one under 5 years old is allowed. Due to wear and tear on the house I hold to the maximum capacity numbers.

Minimal activity in the main house - across the yard - allows you to do your own thing in peace. In a gated community with spacious properties. Lots of serenity and privacy.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Enjoy recreational amenities such as an outdoor pool and a hot tub.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Even better than described

Quiet, well-equiped kitchen, perfect location. Super nice sitting areas outside - private and shade/sun choices, and an outside grill with sink! The property next door is under construction, and we were lucky they weren't doing anthing noisy, but you should ask the friendly host Tina about the state of this project. You might like to know in advance that both beds have memory foam toppers (though not the really deep kind that I find uncomfortable). It would have been nice to have at least one small bar of good old soap available in addition to the many liquid soap options. Heating the hot tub was extra, but I feel this is appropriate for energy conservation, and we just let Tina know a few hours in advance. I would stay here again as the peaceful evening and stunning views from the sitting area are amazing.

good location but old.old, old

Athena was quick to respond. Unfortunately the good location of this guest house, nice small pool and patio with views didn't make up for the tiny bathroom, hard concrete, dirty looking floors, sagging living room furniture (the TV was fine) and the laundry across the driveway in a garage. The bed was fine. We were happy to leave.

Athena is an amazingly welcoming host who also protects her guests’ privacy. The casita is more spacious than it first appears, and is clean, lovely and well-stocked. Last but not least, the view and the pool make this little getaway the complete package! Would recommend to anyone.

The views from this casita cannot be beat. The property has lovely outdoor spaces that are private from the main house. The owner is always available but not intrusive. It is fully stocked with ample dishes, silverware and even a rice cooker. The beds are comfortable. We loved the whole month.

Breathtaking Views & Outstanding Accommodations

We felt very welcomed upon arrival with all the little added touches. The pictures don't do it justice. Warm and cozy decor with lots of comforts. Beds were comfy. The bathroom was a little small but very adequate. Tall ceilings gave you a spacious feel. This house was nice and clean and well stocked too. Tina, the host was darling as well. We will be coming back again for sure.

Spacious Retreat

Easily accessible and spacious fully appointed home on the ridge. The large kitchen was perfect for food preparation and visiting. We had a great time viewing the wildlife. We saw deer, coyotes and javelina. The walking trail just steps outside the door was a great opportunity to enjoy the amazing winter weather. Athena was very helpful and a gracious host! Highly recommend this home.

Great location and views

The casita is located inside a unique gated community. It has spectacular views of the mountains being a short drive to Sabino Canyon recreation area and numerous hiking trails. The open lot affords local fauna to drop by - a couple of deer in the morning (amongst other smaller desert critters who leave evidence of their visit on the patio). We didn't use the hot tub (despite a cleaning fee). The pool is not heated but provided a bracing refresher after hot trails. For a traveling couple, the casita is spacious and the single bathroom met our needs. The building does show signs of use over time but makes for a comfortable stay. The BBQ outside was in disrepair. The kitchen was well very well equipped for meal preparation. The bedroom windows face east and receive plenty of morning sun...again no issue for us as we hit the trails early. A remarkable stay!
