Tucson, Arizona
Casa Hibiscus is an adorable studio situated behind the main house, Casa Mimosa, where I live. It is in walking distance to the U of A and the University Medical Center. PETS ALLOWED!
You are 15 minutes away by car from the Tucson botanical gardens and our fabulous zoo. Tombstone is a 90 minute drive away. The iconic Arizona Inn is a 2 minute walk from the house. They have fabulous gardens, two restaurants and a piano bar for your enjoyment.
The guesthouse has a queen bed and a roll away bed on request plus full kitchen and all the amenities you can think of.
Casa Hibiscus is a jewel in the desert. It is surrounded by a 7 foot retaining wall which is perfect for privacy and security. At night, the only sound you may hear is the howling of a coyote or two on Arizona Inn property.
This is a fully furnished studio with its own front patio and private small backyard. Most of the artwork at Casa Hibiscus is original and many of the artists are friends of mine. My eclectic decorating style comes from years of traveling.
There is also a washer/ dryer on the side of the Casa with detergent and dryer sheets for your convenience.
In Tucson, we use our outside space as much as our inside. You can see from the photographs that there are many quaint areas on the property to sit back and relax. There is a hot tub/cold plunge for your enjoyment year round as well as a fire pit. Feel like cooking outdoors There is a gas barbecue available and outside tables to enjoy the starry nights. There is also a bicycle and helmet that you're welcome to use while you are here.
I have tried to think of everything you might need to make you feel at home here. You have shampoo, cream rinse and bath gel for the shower as well as body lotion and travel size items that you might have forgotten. There are also 2 plush bath robes plus slippers for your convenience. There is an iron and ironing board plus a bed tray if you choose to have coffee or snacks in bed.
The kitchen has pots and pans, cooking utensils and is always stocked with coffee and tea and bottled water. There will always be bagels, cream cheese, butter and preserves for you. I keep a bowl of individually wrapped snacks for your convenience while you are here.
Since my house is on the property, if there is anything that you need that I have available, I am happy to let you borrow it. Enjoy!
Had a wonderful weekend here. Very private, nice hot tub and fire pit. Lovely!
Comfortable, clean, adorable casita with a fabulous host! Spent the weekend with my daughter here and we enjoyed the private patio, restful bed and all the amenities Elizabeth provided, as well as getting to know this lovely host. Will be back!!
Due to the unusually cold weather in Tucson we needed to have the casita’s heat on. The A/C unit that also provided heat would not turn off, and we were told to just unplug it when the room temperature was to our liking. It was an awkward and unsafe way to deal with the problem. Otherwise, we enjoyed the privacy and welcoming feeling around the property.
Great place for my art retreat!
Lovely courtyard and casita. Everything was well appointed, easily understandable and relaxing.
Elizabeth has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The “Casa Hibiscus” was exactly as pictured. Loved the enclosed yard for our dog. Many areas to sit and relax. Quiet neighborhood within walking distance to several restaurants. Made the perfect stop for visiting Saguaro National Park. Would highly recommend.
Quiet and clean
Loved the casita. It was perfect for me, my husband and pups while we were in town for a dog show. Elizabeth is quite possibly the sweetest thing in Tucson. Would definitely recommend and will stay here next time!
Elizabeth's property is a wonderful retreat in the heart of Tucson. She has done a splendid job to make her guests feel right at home. Her easy going attitude and attention to amenities and details make this sweet place very nice. The Casita is a studio with a well appointed kitchen, 2 fridges, one with a freezer.The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is stocked for whatever you may need. She is next door and available if you need something or have questions. The casita has it's own covered patio with great outdoor furniture. There are plenty of other seating areas, all very comfortable. The hot tub is perfect anytime of day. It is large enough for 4 people. Great temp. and good jets. Can also be a quiet soaking tub.~ There is also a gas grill and outdoor wood fire pit. This place has a safe parking place and is close to many restaurants and shops. The neighborhood is one of Tucson's historic areas and is great to walk if you are inclined.~ Great place!~ I would love to stay again sometime..Oh.. also there is a washer and dryer which can be used by guests.
My fiance and I recently stayed at Casa Hibiscus as we were in Tucson for three nights. This studio and backyard was heaven! We enjoyed utilizing the backyard for morning coffee, evenings in the hot tub and we even managed to fire up the BBQ for a couple dinners. The place is nicely located for venturing to downtown or just outside the city for hikes in the desert. Elizabeth was kind and greeted us when we arrived, showing us around and acquainting us with the amenities. I actually had to call as I was checking out because there wasn't a list of things for us to take care of upon checkout (as is so often the case). She said, just leave and I hope you enjoyed your stay!!! WOW! We, of course, cleaned up the kitchen and replaced all used items, but it was a surprise that we weren't expected to go further like taking the trash out or starting laundry. In fact, I might have left a little coffee in my cup (sorry Elizabeth!) We hope to return soon to enjoy the wonderful Casa and all that Tucson has to offer - its more than a three night visit can fit in. If you're still reading and curious what we enjoyed while visiting - I'll be happy to share: Peppersauce Caves - I know there are other caves that provide guided tours etc, BUT these caves you just drive to and show yourself around. AWESOME - check online for tips from previous travelers and you will go off road a little, but we took our rental car without issue. Tucson Museum of Art - plan to spend several hours if you can and enjoy meandering through the gallery. Its in the downtown area so be sure to grab a yummy Sonoran dog or pint of beer at Boarderlands brewery. Sonoran Desert Museum - plan to spend all day if you can! We didn't get enough time and went in the later part of the day so we wouldn't overheat and some exhibits were closing before the park closed. A few nice trails, zoo, caves with beautiful gems and minerals and MORE. It was a really fun time and we're glad Elizabeth recommended it to us. We're hoping to return in the not too distant future to enjoy the warmth of the desert!
The property was beautiful and Elizabeth goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. The cottage is tucked behind the main house, but it's easy to come and go. And the hot tub and outdoor seating were incredibly relaxing. We'd definitely stay here again!
We were touring U of A and prefer to stay away from hotels. This little oasis was ideal. Elizabeth was fantastic and we will surely stay with her again.
