Property Description
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.

We loved the “Casita”!
We enjoyed every minute. The house, the views, the quiet, everything! We were very sad to have to leave.

Beautiful Place to Stay!
Very lovely home, beautiful area and quiet! My daughter and I really enjoyed seeing wildlife, the beautiful, peaceful scenery and the house is lovely! Owners are very easy to communicate with and took great care, by sending detailed emails, to make sure we found the place with ease and got into the home.

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.

Best of both worlds
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 place to get away from the city
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.

Hole in the wall
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.

We thoroughly enjoyed the casita. The space was perfect and the amenities were above and beyond. We were close to where the trapshoot club tournament. The casita is decorated in very good taste.
