******* Certified WILDLIFE HABITAT *******

The Retreat on Cloud Nine just received certification from the National Wildlife Federation and Arizona Wildlife Federation as a Wildlife Habitat!

The Casita at the Resort on Cloud Nine has all of the same beautiful natural resource amenities of the nearby exclusive Miraval Resort without the resort pricing! Within Sutherland Heights, it sits high on a bluff, off a private road with easy access to unlimited hiking, biking and horsebacktrails. Enjoy unsurpassed dramatic mountain views during the day and at night, view spectacular Milky Way and constellation formations from your own private observation deck, floating in the pool or gathered around a camp fire.

This charming casita sleeps 2 and is comfortably furnished with a spacious living room, dining area, full kitchen, bedroom with a queen bed, newly remodeled shower and sitting area plus an oversized bathroom and walk-in closet space. Also includes a private observation deck, cozy evening seating around a fire pit and use of the pool and laundry facilities. Wi-Fi /Internet access plus TV satellite with premium channels is also provided at no additional cost.

If a peaceful, private environment with a plethora of wild life surprises is what you are looking for this is the place for you! Bunnies and quail can be seen from every window along with visits from cardinals, hawks, roadrunners, lizards and owls (a great horned owl rules the area at night). And you haven’t even left the back yard!

There is unlimited hiking in the area with access to the Coronado State forest land only a quarter of a mile away. The Fifty Year Trail, one of the area’s premier mountain biking paths is right down the road.

Another big plus, although you are in an amazing private environment, civilization is close by. You are within 5 minutes to a grocery store, 20 minutes to a shopping cinema complex with not only good Mexican cuisine but some of the best Indian, Chinese and steakhouse eateries in the Tucson / Oro Valley area. Travel another 15 minutes and you will find yourself in the upscale foothills area with La Encantada shopping and more restaurants. Or head in the other direction to experience the newly renovated Tucson downtown area providing a thriving music and night time scene complete with a new streetcar line.

Enjoy the resort atmosphere and a little slice of heaven when you stay at the Casita on Cloud Nine. We are looking forward to your visit!

    Carol welcomed us upon our arrival and gave us a quick tour. She was an excellent host with great communication and immediate replies to any questions we had. The casita is clean and had everything we needed for our two week stay. Beds are comfortable and we slept well after spending our days hiking on the nearby trails. The neighborhood is quiet and only a short drive to grocery and restaurants. We highly recommend.

    The home is a gem—Carol and Gregory were awesome hosts, making me feel right at home right away. The grounds are wonderful —I enjoyed the hot tub, observation deck (the stars are amazing!), and nearby mountain bike and hiking trails. Can't wait to be back!

    Excellent host. Great communication. Nice personnal touches like a quick tour on arrival to get us settled and a welcome basket of wine and snacks. Casita is clean, well equipped and in good condition. The garden is a very quiet and relaxing spot to watch the wildlife. Neighborhood is off the beaten track, quiet and safe. Highly recommend.

    Could not have found a place any better than this for our trip. Location a bit off the beaten path, but that is what makes it unique. Every thing you need is close. Although we shared the property with the Host, you would never know they were there. Large property to share. Property is about 30 min drive north of Tucson, in the foot hills of the Catalina Mtns.

    This property does not disappoint! The grounds are lovely and inviting, and the birds! Oh my goodness. A bird watchers dream. The casita is charming, beautifully decorated and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. The host was friendly and responsive to all our questions/needs. We will definitely be back!

    Cloud Nine Casita is in a beautiful, quiet location with a great view. There is lots of hiking just down the road into the Catalina Mountains. It is lovely to just sit outside and watch for birds and enjoy the peace. Friendly, responsive hosts.

    Very peaceful and restful- like being at home. The views are spectacular and the weather was perfect. Only left the site twice to purchase groceries, Hiking trails were just down the hill and the high desert was incredible. Two weeks went by too quickly- will try to return next year and stay longer.

    Carol's place is one of the best we've ever stayed at! Thoughtful attention to things big and small make a comfortable, welcoming vibe plus her warm and helpful attitude made our stay perfect. Just a few minutes walk to amazing desert trails with saguaros, not to mention all the birds attracted to this little sanctuary. Beautiful sunset views form the rooftop deck!

    We had such a lovely stay at Carol's Cloud 9 Casita while in town for a family wedding. Carol is such an amazing host who made sure we navigated to the gorgeous and remote property in the Catalina Foothills correctly. So peaceful and so worth it for the nature alone!!

    Well appointed with about anything you might need. The pictures can’t give you the beauty of the location. Plenty of activities nearby or simply sit and enjoy the desert views. The property is designated a Wildlife Habitat. The Host is on-site to answer questions or make suggestions.

    Carols directions to Cloud Nine brought us face to face with Mount Lemmon. We were immediately struck with awe as we drove up to the property surrounded by incredible views. Upon arriving, we were greeted with open arms by Carol, the birds, bunnies and other variety of wildlife that call Carol’s property home. The property itself is incredibly beautiful. You can spend your entire vacation on the property and feel fulfilled. Words CANNOT describe how beautiful the property and views truly are. Inside of the casita is nearly as beautiful as outside. The decor, cleanliness and comfort truly had us feeling like we were at an our home away from home. They keep inside and outside in immaculate shape. Carol was very responsive with any questions we had and provided us with great entertainment recommendations for Tuscan and the surrounding areas. We would definitely love to revisit Cloud Nine and couldn’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for having us, Carol!
