We loved sitting on our private back patio having coffee in the morning and dinner in the evening. It was fun to watch all the birds we have never seen before at the feeders. Carella was a delightful host.

50th Bday celebratoin
Myself and two friends stayed while celebrating one of their 50th birthdays. I've never had a desire to visit Tucson...or Arizona at all really, but my friend always wanted to go and see the cacti. I cannot praise the property, home and host enough (the pics don't do it justice). Our host, Carella, was very kind and helpful. The home was impeccable, well stocked, extremely clean and with the most INCREDIBLE yard. Our views all day long were amazing but the sunrises were priceless. Swimming surrounded by nature and cacti was breathtaking as well. And just a short drive to the main places to visit in Tucson. I HIGHLY recommend and plan on returning.

Desert oasis
My family and I had a perfect vacation staying in this guest house. The property was so private with a park like yard. I am mobility limited so the single floor was great and there were no steps into the front door or garage. We visited during monsoon season and had a perfect routine of outdoor exploration in the am, swim in the properties amazing private pool in the heat of the afternoon, then watch the dtorns roll in off the mountains in the evening. It was beautiful. The house was clean and comfortable. We would easily stay again if we visit Tucson again.

Graduation Trip
We traveled to Tucson for a UA graduation. The property was ideal. Close to I-10 for access and out away for peaceful desert nights. Communication was prompt and requests for a family get together were accommodated. We were there for 12 nights, felt like home after one. Couldn’t be happier with our stay.

Amazing Desert Vistas and Bird Watching
The pics online don't do justice to the location and surroundings of this amazing place. Close to Saguaro National Park, we enjoyed the easy access and afterward spent a lot of time on the outside patio watching wild birds feeding and soaking in the peace and tranquility.

Spring Birding and Hiking Trip
Lovely area in the spring if you love the desert and birding! Cooked all our meals and enjoyed the porch in morning and pool in heat of the day. Visited the National Park, Desert Museum and Sabino Canyon! We hope to return a third time! Towels, linens and bedding all very nice.

This is a nice home in a beautiful setting, close to Saguaro National Park. Kitchen was well-stocked, and there were even hiking poles in the closet for guest use. Carella was a great host and communication was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing stay in the desert
Beautiful 3 bdm 2 bath home in the desert. The kitchen has everything you need from spices to equipment. This is beautiful property on acreage but minutes to groceries and a Costco. The property owner is located in the house next door and available if needed, but otherwise we didn’t see her at all.

Such a great place to stay!
The property was exactly as described! Clean, quiet, and spacious. Used the house as a touch down place while visiting Tucson for the annual gem shows. It's conveniently located near the highway which made traveling super easy. The property is also located very close to all types of shopping and restaurants. The host was very speedy about resolving an issue with the wifi and very responsive to other questions. I really enjoyed the well maintained, but natural setting of the property. And the birds at the feeders were fun to watch in the morning. Already booked the next stay and I can't wait to come back!

Has everything we needed and more
Very comfortable, clean casita. Wouldn’t rent for more than two couples though, as it is small. It’s worth noting that one in our party is somewhat mobility challenged and there were grab bars in both showers, plus Camella was kind enough to provide a shower chair. The only thing that would make it any better is another bar by the toilet. There was every dish, pan, and utensil that you could wish for, if you’re cooking. If you’re not, there are great restaurants only a mile or two up the road. We didn’t want for anything! We saw tons of activity at the feeders, birds of all kinds, rabbits and even a coyote. Totally tranquil yard. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.
