La Casita de Tucson is a unique private getaway for 2-4 adults. Our guesthouse stay includes a hot tub & counter-current pool and a large deck for picnics and sunbathing. Great view of the Catalina Mts from the pool area.

Our casita is large (1200 sq. ft.). While it has one bedroom / one bath, we also have a comfortable queen-size Aerobed for an additional 2 people.

Located in the foothills of the Tucson Mountains, our guests feel the spaciousness and serenity of the Sonoran Desert and enjoy the beauty of our surrounding mountains and star-filled nights. But we are only 15 minutes from downtown and 25 minutes or less to the University of Arizona and several golf courses, including Quarry Pines & Starr Pass. Silverbell, a well-maintained muni, is only 10 minutes away. Good restaurants are about 15 minutes down the road.

The furnishings and decor are definitely Southwestern comfortable. The main room has a high-end home theater with 56' HDTV, Blue Ray DVD player, and built-in surround sound. Here you will find an extensive library of CD's and DVD's. WiFi, of course.
There is also a large bookshelf of Travel, History, and Brain Candy books to suit almost everyone.

The bathroom has a beautifully tiled walk-in shower. A shower bench seat is available. Fresh linens & towels provided.

La Casita has its own backyard, patio, and BBQ. Our guests enjoy interesting grounds, including cactus gardens, a mission fountain, and three patios with many strange and fascinating plants. Laundry can easily be arranged. The washer/dryer are in the main residence. Just ask. Don't be shy.

La Casita is perfect for those who want to visit Southern Arizona's many attractions, such as Bisbee, Tombstone, Titan Missile Site, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Air and Space Museum and our excellent history museums that illustrate the area's rich Native American, Spanish, Mexican and Anglo heritage. Several fine Indian Casinos and many hiking trails are nearby.

The website that Jim wrote is Southern Arizona Guide. Here you will find our recommendations for best dining, things to see & do; plus lots of local history, original videos and photo features.

We have a senior dog, Dozer. He only has 3 legs, but don't tell him. He doesn't know.
Currently we are fostering 2 more well behaved dogs. They will not bother you if you are not dog people.

    Our stay at La Casita de Tucson was unforgettable - an exceptional experience. From the breathtaking garden to the gorgeous decor and spacious living space, to the to the coyotes howling at night. There were ample books, guides and amenities. Every comfort detail was thought of and exceeded our expectations. Our host was welcoming, kind, knowledgeable, and fun. The shaman statue at the entrance and the tastefully appointed exterior and interior decor made me happy every time we came back from sightseeing. Convenient location, too. We can’t wait to return.

    Karen is a wonderful host and La Casita is a perfect little Tucson getaway. Close to everything but peaceful and scenic. Plus the vacation dogs are a delightful bonus!

    La Casita is the ideal VRBO. Set on a fabulous 3 acre lot in the hills outside Tucson with mountain desert scenery all around. The property is spacious and very well equipped. The terrace is ideal for enjoying an evening drink while the sun sets. Our host Karen was outstanding. She was available when we had questions and great fun to chat with! We shall return!

    Karen’s lovely casita is just what you need for a relaxing get away. Well stocked with games, books, comfy blankets and pillows. Also a beautiful garden and Mountain View from the porch. You won’t have any problem finding something to do (just ask for recommendations) or doing nothing at all, if that is what you need. Enjoy the stay.

    La Casita is beyond words, beyond photos, and beyond any review we read before booking—it truly exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness by our incredible host, Karen, whose hospitality and insider knowledge of the area, made our stay even more special.The casita is a dream—beautifully designed, impeccably clean, and perfectly suited for two people looking for a peaceful, private getaway. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere. The outdoor spaces are just as wonderful, offering stunning surroundings, a soothing spa, and the perfect place to unwind.Adding to the charm, the host’s three friendly dogs brought so much joy and fun to our stay! They were an unexpected highlight and made the experience feel even more like home.If you're considering La Casita—book it! It’s truly a hidden gem, and we can't wait to return.

    Staying at La Casita is especially relaxing as the casita is on a 3 acre lot that feels totally secluded in the desert, but is five minutes from Sweetwater Preserve and a couple miles further to Christopher Columbus park and dog park near the Interstate. The casita is spacious, both the living room and the bedroom. Our second time there, so yes, we would return!

    This home was extremely cozy and comfortable for my whole Tucson visit. Karen was an outstanding host and her pups were quite the crew of characters too. You may need to check your pulse if you've never soaked in a hot tub under a starlit night sky in Tucson at Karen's place because you have not lived until you've done so. Her property lands perfectly balanced on the edge of town leaving you peacefully immersed in the desert while being a stone's throw from grocery stores or restaurants. I look forward to my next visit to Tucson and stay at La Casita!
