Stayed Apr 29, 2026We had a great time at John and Janis’s place. It was very peaceful…..beautiful mountains in the distance, tons of stars in the sky at night. And free range cattle, which visited several times a day! And Sprinkles and Darby were excellent host, also! It seemed very remote….in a good way!…but was only 15 minutes from Tubac, so we were able to go to visit the shops and art galleries easily. When you go to Tubac, make sure you go eat at Wisdoms, which is a wonderful 5th generation Mexican restaurant that John recommended to us. We would happily return to the casita the next time we go to Tubac.

Stayed Mar 8, 2026John and Janis were great hosts. The guest house is pet-friendly. Their 2 dogs interacted well with our 2 dogs. The location is private, quiet, and out in the countryside in the Sonoran desert. Lots of birds singing.

Stayed Feb 18, 2026Love the little outdoor fireplace to admire the starry skies and sunsets. The casita is comfortable and rustic, with unique handmade details. Owners live on site and are friendly and happy to help with any questions. Lovely dogs that like to say hello. It’s a bit away from town, but I enjoyed the quiet.
