We so enjoyed our stay at this guest house. The grounds were beautiful and great for birding. Close to Tuscon yet felt like we were in the middle of the beautiful desert. Nice porch and access to swimming pool. Home was very nice with all the amenities that we needed. The host was very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

This is a well taken care of property. It has decor to match the area. Everything we needed was there as well as a good guide book to where things are in the house and the area. The host was very prompt in replying to messages. It was a great place to end and relax for our last few days in Arizona! Absolutely loved watching the birds at the feeders in the morning and evening. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to relax and enjoy the scenery.

The home is beautiful and was a perfect fit for our family of 4. The kitchen is well stocked and made cooking easy. We loved the views of the mountains, cacti, birds and wildlife. While it is a bit of a drive from downtown Tucson, we liked being in a quiet neighborhood.

This property ticked all the boxes for us and we won’t hesitate to come back. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would expect to find in a home including blenders and a rice cooker. Lots of spices and oils, fridge stocked with condiments, even pantry goods. Bathrooms and bedrooms were very comfortable. Plenty of additional towels and bedding in the closets. A room stocked with books and games. The outdoor space was great for enjoying the afternoon/evening out of the direct sun and the birds always put on a great show. It was very quiet, yet only 5 minutes from the highway, shopping centers, and a large park. A quick 20 minutes gets you to UofA and surrounding area. The host was very responsive to our questions and needs.

The casita kitchen is well-equiped, as is the rest of the house (walking sticks, hats, information about the area, etc.) It seems that the hosts anticipated every possible need. For example, there is a library of books and dvds. The hosts, who are friendly but not intrusive, responded immediately to any of my concerns. It is very convenient having them on the property.They are also aware of the needs of the birds and animals that visit the property, keeping the feeders full and assuring that the water in the various containers is fresh. It was very relaxing to watch all the activity in the back yard

This home and setting was exactly what our party of four was looking for during our 3 weeks stay. It was on the less densely populated side of town and close enough to central Tucson but far enough away to be closer to nature and hiking is Saguaro Park West. The home layout is nicely configured and there were large windows in the living area to enjoy the views and bright sunshine. The yard was very private, with both natural vegetation and a lovely landscaped front yard. Many feeders in the backyard allowed for great birdwatching. The kitchen is furnished with all the equipment you should need. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. Would stay here again!
