Charming Southwest-Style Home with Pool, Birds & Wildlife plus Mountain Views

This was a very well maintained and clean property. Carella takes pride in her home and wildlife. My family enjoyed watching sunrises and sunsets on the patio. We even got a glimpse of some new desert wildlife we never saw before. The home was fully equipped with supplies making it easy to cook if desired. If you are looking for a place that makes you feel at home this is the one! We will definitely be making this a return spot when we come to Tucson again. Thank you so much for the hospitality and experience we will never forget!

Our stay was perfect. We love the high desert and the wildlife was fun. Lots of birds, rabbits, even deer, which was a surprise. Very nice hosts. And, most importantly, the guest house is beautiful with outstanding southwest decor.

This property ticked all the boxes for us and we won’t hesitate to come back. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would expect to find in a home including blenders and a rice cooker. Lots of spices and oils, fridge stocked with condiments, even pantry goods. Bathrooms and bedrooms were very comfortable. Plenty of additional towels and bedding in the closets. A room stocked with books and games. The outdoor space was great for enjoying the afternoon/evening out of the direct sun and the birds always put on a great show. It was very quiet, yet only 5 minutes from the highway, shopping centers, and a large park. A quick 20 minutes gets you to UofA and surrounding area. The host was very responsive to our questions and needs.

This is a well taken care of property. It has decor to match the area. Everything we needed was there as well as a good guide book to where things are in the house and the area. The host was very prompt in replying to messages. It was a great place to end and relax for our last few days in Arizona! Absolutely loved watching the birds at the feeders in the morning and evening. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to relax and enjoy the scenery.

We so enjoyed our stay at this guest house. The grounds were beautiful and great for birding. Close to Tuscon yet felt like we were in the middle of the beautiful desert. Nice porch and access to swimming pool. Home was very nice with all the amenities that we needed. The host was very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

If you are a nature lover this is the place to stay. Beautiful cactus in the yard. The house was very clean. The hosts very nice and helpful. This was our second time staying here and I would definitely stay here again.

Great hosts! Beautiful property our third visit!!!

Nice, clean home with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The host was wonderful to work with. Close to Tucson but has a rural feel. Great place to relax.

Private garage parking and garage door opener was provided, so it was very convenient. The property is landscape very nicely and bird feeders in the back made for interesting bird viewing. We enjoyed our stay very much.

The casita kitchen is well-equiped, as is the rest of the house (walking sticks, hats, information about the area, etc.) It seems that the hosts anticipated every possible need. For example, there is a library of books and dvds. The hosts, who are friendly but not intrusive, responded immediately to any of my concerns. It is very convenient having them on the property.They are also aware of the needs of the birds and animals that visit the property, keeping the feeders full and assuring that the water in the various containers is fresh. It was very relaxing to watch all the activity in the back yard

We very much enjoyed our visit! The property was clean and in a great location! We loved the birds and saguaros in the backyard!

This home and setting was exactly what our party of four was looking for during our 3 weeks stay. It was on the less densely populated side of town and close enough to central Tucson but far enough away to be closer to nature and hiking is Saguaro Park West. The home layout is nicely configured and there were large windows in the living area to enjoy the views and bright sunshine. The yard was very private, with both natural vegetation and a lovely landscaped front yard. Many feeders in the backyard allowed for great birdwatching. The kitchen is furnished with all the equipment you should need. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. Would stay here again!

The home is beautiful and was a perfect fit for our family of 4. The kitchen is well stocked and made cooking easy. We loved the views of the mountains, cacti, birds and wildlife. While it is a bit of a drive from downtown Tucson, we liked being in a quiet neighborhood.

The house is so cozy inside & the backyard is full of birds & super landscaping and a beautiful view of the mountains, we loved it there

I would like to thank the hostess Carella for the wonderful stay. The outdoor enclosed porch had two small tables and chairs, and afforded a magnificent view of the Sonoran landscape. There were several bird feeders set up outside the porch, which attracted a lot of different species of birds. There were also the unique Saguaro cacti visible from the porch. The house was cosy, comfortable, and super well-equipped. Every possible kitchen utensil, laundry supplies, linens, and other things, from walking sticks to binoculars, were available for our use. If I visit Tucson again, I would rent this property again.

This home is everything it advertises plus more! The house is clean, well stocked and the hosts are great. We really liked the decorations! The location, as mentioned by other reviewers, is wonderful. We enjoyed visiting Tohono Chul Gardens, Sweetwater Wetlands Park, and Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. What we loved the most was the desert-nature that surrounded this house. The views of mountains are fantastic. We spent mornings and late afternoons watching birds at the backyard feeders and in the neighborhood. Birds we saw included cactus wrens, gila & ladder-backed woodpeckers, northern cardinals, Gamble's quails & pyrrhuloxia. We would definitely return!

Pretty area and only about 20 minutes to the university.

Perfect location for a relaxing getaway, hiking the Saguaro National Park and Sabino Canyon. Everything was provided for an enjoyable stay. The pool is even larger and nicer in person, and the view of the desert from the pool is amazing. We also enjoyed watching the sun rise over the desert from the breakfast table. The house was very clean. We didnt sleep on the futon, but I found it surprisingly comfortable to sit on. Small hiccup at check in that the hosts remedied quickly. They live onsite/next door but gave us total privacy. As another commenter pointed out, there is no door between the primary bedroom and the en suite bathroom.... you need to close the bedroom door for privacy. It did not bother us. We appreciated having the garage space to keep the car cool. I'd definitely stay here again.

The home is perfect! It was comfortable, plenty of space for a small family. I suggest getting up early to see the birds in the backyard.. Also, having pool access is a great benefit. We also were grateful to be able to park in the garage, definitely a great perk that helps when it’s 114 outside :). We definitely will be booking again!

I could live here!!

Our group of four absolutely loved this property. It was clean, nicely decorated and just as described. The pool was very nice, and the landscaping was stunning! The owner was easy to reach and replied promptly to our questions and comments.

This is a beautiful and serene property that was ideal for our family. The listing photos are accurate and the owners have created an oasis for birds and native plants. We would highly recommend this house and would stay there again if we visit Tucson!

A wonderful, clean, well equipped property with great views and a lovely pool. Excellent communication as well. We truly enjoyed our stay. Our only minor hitch was that we missed that the property was 6380B not 6380 W. Ina Rd. It was in the directions instructions, but we had not used the instructions. Overall, a great property. We enjoyed sitting out and watching the wildlife.

The house was charming, quiet, and private. It offered beautiful views of the surrounding desert landscape and the pool was a treat for escaping the mid-day heat. It was an easy drive to downtown Tucson or out to the desert trails. Great for a couple’s get away!

Our stay at Carmella’s lovely casita was wonderful. The property was exceptionally clean , conveniently located and very well stocked. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to sit out on the backyard patio and watch the interesting assortment of birds that visited the several feeders and baths. The vegetation is gorgeous and we really felt that we were getting a true desert experience. We would definitely stay here again. visited the many feeders and bir

The positives: beauty of the natural setting; lovely casita, nicely-appointed and very well-stocked; great location close to I-10 and Saguaro National Park West; welcoming and helpful owner/manager who, though very friendly and attentive, respects the privacy of her guests.The negatives: none!

A good place near places in Tucson that we wanted to go, but still isolated enough to be virtually in the country. Very well stocked home, well taken care of. Excellent host.

The property was just as portrayed. The entire house was well appointed with everything we needed, and more. The home was very clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for 4 adults to spread out. The location was just enough West of the main area to be quiet, and yet close enough to everything we wanted.Our host was very responsive whenever we had a question. Their house is on the property, but they did not intrude at all. We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay and the location was pretty convenient. The address was the main house so you need to go one more drive over. Very clean. Not a fan of no door to potty in main bedroom but closet was great. Coffee pot needs updating ! We’d go back for sure. Maybe bring our Kerurig!

Wonderful place close to everything but still remote enough where we saw all kinds of wildlife right outside our windows! Wi-Fi worked great for remote work. Highly recommend!

This is a charming house on the outskirts of town but five minutes to amenities. The kitchen was well supplied. The birds and javelinas were very entertaining. We would love to book this again.

We loved this place - super easy - well supplied kitchen - the beds are comfortable and we felt it lived big!

Visited with family over Christmas. Lovely property, great view in the morning with a cup of coffee. Great location. Clean and had everything we needed. Definitely recommend!

Great location in the desert near I-10. Close to bike trails and other activities in Tucson. House was super clean with great hosts! Great views of the desert and bird watching from the patio.

Exceeded our expectations--would stay here again!!

We loved sitting on our private back patio having coffee in the morning and dinner in the evening. It was fun to watch all the birds we have never seen before at the feeders. Carella was a delightful host.

We enjoyed the view and back patio. Lots of wildlife. Property had everything we needed. Enjoyed the quiet.

Truly enjoyed our stay at this lovely location, especially the charming variety of birds and other wildlife that frequent the back yard.

Stayed 5 nights and enjoyed almost every day at the beautiful pool! Patio was lovely to sit on and watch the wildlife! Had a pack of javelina visit one night, which was awesome to see! Didnt even know about them! Owners were wonderful and responded to any questions or issue, quickly! We would really love to come back someday soon! Home is so much more beautiful than picture show! any questions tjat we had

Everything for a perfect Tucson get away. Clean, convenient, great outdoor space and pool, comfortable and beautiful.

Every detail one could want was provided at this desert oasis home.

Myself and two friends stayed while celebrating one of their 50th birthdays. I've never had a desire to visit Tucson...or Arizona at all really, but my friend always wanted to go and see the cacti. I cannot praise the property, home and host enough (the pics don't do it justice). Our host, Carella, was very kind and helpful. The home was impeccable, well stocked, extremely clean and with the most INCREDIBLE yard. Our views all day long were amazing but the sunrises were priceless. Swimming surrounded by nature and cacti was breathtaking as well. And just a short drive to the main places to visit in Tucson. I HIGHLY recommend and plan on returning.
