Amazing City And Mountain Views From The Foothills Of The Catalinas

Fully furnished 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom Santa Fe Style hillside casita, with incredible views of the mountains and the city of Tucson. The guesthouse is fully furnished, including a clothes washer and dryer, and is located in the foothills of the Catalinas, at the base of Mount Lemmon. Our guesthouse is located on a three acre property, is surrounded by Saguaros, Ocotillo, and desert wildlife, and has a private patio with a private hot tub.

Arizona National is the closest golf course and is only a 5-10 minute drive from our casita. The closest shopping center is 5 miles (10 minutes) away, according to Google Maps. The drive up to Mount Lemmon starts only minutes away and leads to hiking, cycling, mountain biking, camping, fishing, scenic overlooks, and skiing (depending upon the season and the weather). By car, downtown Tucson is 36 minutes away, and The University of Arizona is 29 minutes away (both according to Google Maps).

The guesthouse is designed to accommodate up to 2 people using the king size bed, but we may be able to accommodate a couple with a small child, as well. Please contact us about this situation ahead of any requests for booking.

Peace and quiet with heavenly views
Stayed here for 2 1/2 months to escape the upper midwest winter. Hiking nirvana on Mt. Lemmon nearby, as well as Saguaro NP and all the other trails in the Tucson area. Michael and Alejandra were very gracious hosts, always available. Enjoyed the privacy and quiet of the guest house. Star gazing from the patio was fantastic.

A Workation Success!
Since we work remote, we have taken several "workations" where we stay, play, and work for a week or more. Our week at this casita was a workation success! The Wi-Fi signal was strong and dependable for work, and we enjoyed the views, hot tub, and easy access to trails and the city while we played. Next time we find ourselves headed to Tucson for work, play, or both, we hope this casita is available.

Perfect in Every Way
Michael and Alejandra were the perfect hosts. No issues with communication in any way. Alejandra greeted us when we arrived, we met Michael on the day that we left. The casita was immaculate with all the amenities described with a well equipped kitchen. Located next to their home, it was a very private setting, exactly what we wanted/needed. The location is very quiet with lots of wildlife, especially in the morning with a beautiful view of the sunsets. The casita is located close to the base of the Catalina mountains with a short drive to Mt. Lemmon (about 30 degrees cooler there). We're already discussing a return visit because we loved it there.

This is a fantastic rental across the board. This place is a sanctuary.
My wife and I just spent a week at Alejandra and Michael’s Casita. The short version - for a couple, this is a fantastic rental across the board. This place is a sanctuary. We spend a lot of time visiting the Tucson area, often for short stays. Always for outdoors adventures. Our favorite rental has been a Casita only a few miles from Alejandra and Michael’s We have now found a new favorite, especially for longer stays. The Casita is spotless clean, extremely well built, has a fresh new feel to it. It is well laid out, provisioned, decorated and very comfortable. The views are fantastic, both day and night. The patio is fantastic for relaxing and enjoying those views. The Spa is a great feature and so relaxing and restorative after a day of hiking, running trails or climbing. The multi-headed shower which includes a rain shower is quite enticing as well. Its a short jaunt to the road leading up into Mt. Lemmon. There are easy routes out to the south and west for exploring that direction. And getting into town, or its surrounds is quite convenient. Alejandra meet us when we arrived, even those it was late into the day and was delightful. We ran into Michael one of the evenings and had a great chat for a bit. They are both wonderful hosts and made sure we knew they would be reached for anything that might come up. For us nothing did. Everything was as good as one could want. It would be hard to beat this Casita for peace, solitude, and recovery from everyday madness.

Beautiful views, relaxing atmosphere
The description of the casita, the location and the views are all very accurate. It doesnt detail the experience you can expect though. This home ( and it feels like a home) is tastefully and comfortably appointed…both inside and out. It was a wonderful experience to grill dinner overlooking the city, enjoy wine on the patio and finish the evening with a relaxing soak in the (very clean) hot tub all while taking in the constellations above. Notably the hosts, Michael and Alejandra, are wonderful people, always available and are there to make your stay as pleasant as can be. I’m already planning my return trip!

Exquisite in every way
Do not hesitate for a minute! This casita is a true gem in the desert. We’ve stayed 5 times and plan to return. Set in the gorgeous foothills, you are surrounded by saguaro, ocotillo and amazing views from the private patio and hot tub. We love the desert quiet and the forest at the top of Mount Lemmon is only 20 miles up the road. The casita is very comfortable and the shower amazing. Close to restaurants and stores, this place has it all. Hosts Michael and Alejandra excel at being available when needed yet respect our privacy.

Outstanding view!
This property is a little bit out of town, so be prepared to do some extra driving if staying here. The view is lovely and there is a hot tub that is very pleasant and has a great view at night. It is perfect for a couple. Very quiet and peaceful. Well furnished. The owners have a separate house on site and are very helpful. Great stay!

Beautiful house and location!
We stayed for a week and wish we stayed longer! Beautiful and comfortable house, private and on a very quiet road. Amazing views. The location was perfect, right down the street from the Catalina mountains byway with plenty of hiking and critters to see. Only 15 min from Saguaro national park east which we really enjoyed. As others have said the hot plate worked great, we cooked most of our meals at home and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The hot tub was great as well. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back again in a heartbeat.

This was a perfect place for my wife and I to spend our 3rd anniversary! The casita was amazing, clean, huge bedroom, washer and dryer, incredible views. The hot tub was great and we used the grill a few times too. The location is also perfect if you like to do outdoors activities like hikes. We went on some incredible hikes, also drove up Mt Lemmon highway which had great views (also about 30 degrees cooler). We also went horse back riding in the desert and we got to see the sunset from Saguaro National Park. The host were pretty much perfect. Alejandra and Michael were super helpful but also we felt like we were the only ones there unless we had a question. Overall no complaints just great memories! We have never been to Arizona before but we will definitely be back!
