Desert Guesthouse - 10 Acre Property NW Tucson

This is the best rental we have ever stayed at! It feels like a secluded oasis with lots of land, incredible landscaping and terrific views of the mountains during the day and city lights and stars at night. Although it feels secluded it's conveniently located to many amenities. Patty and Jim are also the best hosts we have ever encountered. They made us feel welcome the entire time and provided many recommendations for music, food, recreation and other things. During our stay we purchased a new home in the Tucson area and it's good to know we've met our first friends already! Can't recommend this property enough!

I have only good things to say about the property and the owners Patty and Jim. Hoping to come back in the future.

Peaceful, quiet, comfortable, relaxing.

VRBO made life difficult, but the owners were on top of it and graciously solved all problems.

What a beautiful, tranquil, and peaceful location! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was cozy, comfortable and inviting. The views were breath taking from the front and back porches. Our hosts were very friendly and made us feel right at home.

My wife and I stayed at Totolita for the month of January this year and had a wonderful time. It is a guesthouse that was very well appointed and had plenty of space for us as well as a great outdoor space. The privacy was fantastic. We were in the middle of a saguaro desert with few, hardly visible, neighbors, plus we saw plenty of wildlife. Our hosts were great to us and responded very quickly to any questions we had. We would stay there again in a minute.

The Casita was fabulously outfitted and the hosts are very gracious, helpful and friendly! We loved our stay in this very remote feeling of northern Tuscon with 25 minute access to downtown and 15-20 minute access to foothill hiking and biking on paved trails. The place is definately for people who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of a busy city yet close to everything! We will definitely be staying there again and again!

This guesthouse was a wonderful place to stay while exploring Tucson and taking a break from the weather in Minnesota. It has a newly remodeled kitchen and comes fully equipped. The house was very clean and well maintained. The owners could not have been better hosts. They care about their guests and the property. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

My stay at this lovely guest house was my best experience ever with a VRBO property - and with the owners. The house is lovely - lots of glass, light, comfortable space - felt totally at home. The house is immaculate and well equipped, with a wonderful sun room and outdoor seating and BBQ area. It is 10 minutes away from great shopping - food as well as a terrific outlet mall. The ranch is full of amazing wildlife - hummingbirds, huge rabbits, coyotes and even a javalina - all wonderful to watch and photograph. The grounds, neighborhood and views of the mountains are breathtaking. And I cannot say enough about the owners . They are delightful, fascinating, respectful of privacy, but included me in a number of their activities and parties - which was greatly appreciated. I consider them new friends. So again - 5 stars across the board. Without question.

I just spent two months in this wonderful rental, and hope to return. Clean, comfortable, easy to live in, with great hosts who live next door. I liked the location, it was easy to get to almost everywhere while being a little removed from the busyness of the city. Hummingbirds, roadrunners, hawks, horses, cattle are just a few of the things that I saw most days on my walks, along with classic Sanoran Desert botany. A well-appointed kitchen made it easy to cook, and the bed was great - something that's important to me. Good grocery shopping close by, with easy access to I-10 to get into the city quickly. I can't say enough good things about Patty and Jim - they gave me the privacy that I wanted while quietly making sure that I had everything I needed and socializing when time permitted. They went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable, including small details like making sure I had a hot water kettle and my favorite cookware. They are excellent hosts, I couldn't have asked for better, experienced landlords who care about the comfort of their guests. And really nice folks. I highly recommend this rental for a variety of reasons - location, nature, cleanliness, comfort, privacy, and caring owners. Five stars all the way!
