Nestled inside a boulder studded canyon this adobe casita is the perfect peaceful retreat possessing a commanding view of Tucson. With just under 4 acres to roam, the romance of the location will enchant couples. Possessing the rustic qualities of the classic Tucson adobe style, the massive 16' thick walls of the adobe casita were forged from the earth with adobe blocks made on site.  The casita appears as though it's always been there having grown out of the ground merging seamlessly with the surrounding desert. Adobe construction including passive solar design moderate temperatures in ways unmatched by other building materials providing an unsurpassed level of comfort.  

If you've never slept in an adobe home it may be your best night's sleep yet.  The natural materials of the casita were chosen to effect a calming harmony that will help relax you into a deep slumber at night as the coyotes serenade you to sleep.  Imagine waking fully restored with an energy reminiscent of your childhood.  

The casita features the conveniences of modern living:
•Update Facebook, connect with your family at home via Skype, or just catch up on a TV show you missed on HULU from any room with WIFI. 
•Catch the big game, your favorite soap, or the most popular prime-time shows on a large, flat screen, LED HDTV. 
•Cuddle with loved ones as the wood burning fireplace warms and transforms your nights into a cherished memory.
•Whip up a quick snack using the new microwave then stash the dishes in the new dishwasher. 
•Even though you'll start to miss the casita before you leave, take advantage of the new washer and dryer to pack fresh, clean clothes. 
•Start your morning with a complimentary coffee starter pack.
•The 300+ thread count, organic cotton sheets are a joy to sleep on. Additional linens provided to enhance your comfort.
•With more than 350 days of sunshine, Tucson is the sunniest city in the US. Attached covered parking protects your vehicle.
•For your convenience a hair dryer is stored in the bath vanity. 
•A naturalist library containing numerous field guides to look up your discoveries made during your foray into the surrounding desert. 
•A full kitchen is available for foodies wanting to cook for themselves.

    Great Hideaway in the desert; nestled into the desert rocks and blooms. Beautiful and well equipped with everything we could imagine or need. This adobe treasure was comfortable, clean, welcoming and a lovely getaway. We enjoyed breakfast on the front porch and evenings under the carport in the shade. Slept comfy in the bed! Highly recommend this jewel!

    This little casita is amazing! It is surrounded by so much natural beauty of the foothills, desert and endless sunshine that it’s making it difficult to head back to a Michigan blizzard! The living room is beautiful with a built in love seat under a picture window with Mountain views. We saw a pair Coyotes on top of a rock formation and a couple of Javelinas run by!The kitchen is well appointed with top grade pots and pans, microwave, glass top stove and a large refrigerator. The master bedroom has a very comfortable King bed and the second bedroom has a queen. It is in a quiet neighborhood yet so easy to get to mountain trails, museums, shopping and more. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were very grateful for our host Andrew who answered questions in a timely and professional manor.

    Such a beautiful home, very comfortable for sleeping and hanging out. The property is amazing, secluded and nestled in nature but close to town. Very close to Saguaro National Park West. The nicest place I’ve ever rented.Hosts were also very responsive and professional. If I come to Tuscon again I won’t look anywhere else

    This is a unique spot. Amazing views all around. Never really adapted to our time difference so I saw the sunrise every day. We were able to see the javelinas one evening. The kitchen is well equipped and the outdoor seating is lovely. This is off the beaten path but was well located to access the sites the Tucson area has to offer. We were very comfortable.

    We absolutely loved our stay here. The casita is spacious but still cozy. The little touches are everywhere, and they add so much to the experience. Modern appliances, excellent A/C, and cute furnishings. Also very clean.As nature lovers, we were thrilled by the location. The landscape is breathtaking. The casita is nestled into the rocky landscape and there are mature saguaros all around the property. If you love wildlife, you’ll love this place. We saw javelinas at dusk, and countless bird species.Even though it’s a bit off the main road grid, getting there is easy if you follow the hosts’ directions. It’s also close to restaurants and grocery stores. This is one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed.

    Great location, like some hidden valley in the old west. The casita is wonderfully designed and built. Always ten degrees cooler inside than out. There is another house in close proximity that is artfully absent from the photos but generally unobtrusive.

    Casita was great with two bedrooms and plenty of room. Property is starting to show some wear with Leaking faucets, mineral buildup around fixtures, loose tiles, etc. However, the vibe is really cool and the beds comfortable. Place was very clean when we arrived, and I believe we left it clvery clean as well.Would come back, except we like other surrounding areas better and would probably try something different to be closer to the things we like to do.

    Loction! Loction! Location! When we pulled up to this casita we knew it was the perfect place for us. As we entered the home we immediately felt peaceful and at home. The home is beautifully designed, decorated, and included quality kitchen items. The casita is located just off the beaten path on a 3 area lot. You are surrounded by nature which we spent much time walking in. Tucson's city lights twinkled in the distance at night. It was perfection and peaceful for us. It truly is a perfect locoation.

    Beautiful casita behind a larger house that felt secluded and great for solitary time in Sonaroan environment. House was lovely, great kitchen and we enjoyed outdoor fires in the evening. Had a question and reached out to the owners who promptly replied and were extremely hospitable. Highly recommend this lovely desert get-away.

    This was a nice quite place tucked into a beautiful surrounding. Although there is a house 30-40 feet away that was unexpected. If you are on your beautiful porch and they are on there patio it would feel a bit like a close neighbor. They did have some chairs behind the house we went back to watch the sunrise. The hosts were very accommodating as they require a 5 day minimum i think it was, and we only needed 4 so that was nice! They also provided a bag of coffee and chips and salsa, that was great! They provided good directions for getting there and getting in. One thing that may have been nice is a guide with info about the property, with things like what is the little remote thing in the basket with the panic button...? if you want to hike... If you want to have a fire... If you want to grill... Is charcoal provided? We found the garbage bin with stuff, lighter fluid, matches and charcoal for grilling but later determined that the charcoal bag was empty, easy to miss as it looked full when we looked in the bin. Over all it was a great stay clean and comfortable!Thank you!

    My adult son and I have stayed in several Tucson rentals over the past few years and this is by far our favourite. The location was rural enough to enjoy peace and tranquility but within easy reach of everything Tucson has to offer. We will definitely be back depending on availability.

    This property was PERFECT my fiancé and I were both obsessed with the location, the casita itself, decor, and the general neighborhood. I HIGHLY recommend following his instructions. The dirt and gravel roads to get to property weren’t TOO bad. We had an SUV and could have managed with a sedan, just drive very slowly due to bumps/rockiness. The beds were comfortable, views were great, kitchen was fully stocked, there was an awesome book and game selection, and amenities were good. This was our first time visiting AZ and 1000% will stay here again if we come back to Tucson.

    Surrounded by stunning hills and desert beauty, the classic adobe casita offered us a welcoming and beautifully appointed home—a perfect place to enjoy an exciting and adventure-filled area. The spotless and beautifully appointed home provided us with everything we needed. The pictures do not do justice to the charm and warmth one feels during your stay. We have found a wonderful location, and we intend to return again and again. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a stunning and private retreat so near so many adventures!
