Isabels House - Cozy Desert Retreat

Wonderful stay in the hills with views all around. Peaceful comfort in John's house upgrade

I stayed in the guesthouse attached to the carport. Quiet, clean, comfortable bed, exceptional views. I would definitely stay here again.

Modestly appointed but more than adequate for our needs. The bed was very comfortable, and the deck was a nice place to enjoy sunset colors on the Catalina Mountains. Great location. Communication with the host was excellent. A bit hard to find and check into after dark-- recommend asking the host to leave house lights on if evening/night arrival is anticipated.

This VRBO was great! Let me count the ways: Breakfast, lounging on front porch, hummingbirds enjoying their nectar, fresh lemon from tree by porch; peace and quiet; prompt responses from Susanne; Comfy big bed; quiet ac; clean, and it’s worth repeating -quiet day and night. Easy drive to shops and activities of all kinds as well as great variety of restaurants. Full kitchen, I only used the the microwave and good size fridge. Highly recommend this getaway!

I completely enjoyed staying in this charming house and interacting with the host Suzanne.

So glad we found this little gem perched in the Catalina Foothills. Up and over desert washes and hills, finding the cottage is part of the adventure. And the wide expansive view and stunning sunsets are the rewards, plus a comfortable bed, nicely equipped kitchen, sweet little patio and lookout deck. The hostess, Susanne, was friendly and helpful and offers an artistic lodging experience with a vintage patina. We are looking forward to future stays!

Good communication via emails from owner prior to arrival. Had everything I needed for my 3 night stay as I did not spend time at the casita only to sleep, make food and shower. Road up to the main house was fine but around to the casita was rutted and bumpy and you just park blocking the drive. There was a lot of junk around the property so initially I wasn't sure I was at the right place. I knew there was an airstream trailer rented out nearby but it is much closer than it looks in the pics. Can hear the people staying there all the time. I washed any dishes I used as looked like they hadn't been in awhile. Nice that there was a 5 gallon water dispenser for filtered water. The bed was comfy and clean. Could not turn on the ceiling fan so not sure it works. The little deck was nice to have as was only place to sit and eat but was a bit claustrophobic as shrubbery encloses almost completely as well as the entire casita! I thought there was a washer and dryer advertised as available but there wasn't. Overall the place was sufficient for the price with no real problems if you are not planning to spend much time at the casita and would recommend with keeping in mind my comments.

Cute, cozy cottage in a nice upscale residential area. Nice restaurants and grocery store just a 5 min drive. Private and very quiet... exactly what we were looking for.

I cannot express how much I loved staying here. The location is perfect, close to everything but out of the way. The view from this property is amazing, and the owners were friendly, welcoming and very quick to answer any questions that arose during our stay. This was my very first air bnb experience and it could not have gone better. I cannot wait to return!

Comfortable and good location to play all of good ⛳ courses.
