Nice getaway
The Guest House was in a very convenient location. We were close to shopping, good restaurants, hiking trails and a State Park. Very cozy. Only downsides were a small kitchen - no stove or oven, just microwave and two-burner warming unit. The bed could use a new mattress. It was pretty uncomfortable- too soft and lumpy and uneven. Overall, it was a nice stay for the week.

Gorgeous and spacious home away from home
This place was amazing! The home was well furnished and fully stocked with everything we needed. The home was located within a beautiful neighborhood yet still felt private. Every morning we enjoyed a walk around the block with a cup of coffee, appreciating the stunning desert views. 10/10 would stay again!

Nice place but...
Cute little guest house with comfortable bed, but refrigerator was so noisy all the time I had to close bedroom door to sleep. Kitchen sink faucet has a drip. Not annoying, just for info. Directions need updating. The driveway was dirt and narrow and I would not have been able to find it in the dark. No bought Keurig pods for the trip but the unit no longer has a Keugrig, just a regular coffee maker.

La Casita Bonita
Quiet and private neighborhood. Delightful little house. Wonderful bed. TV programing abundant. Desert experience in the Catalina Foothills open space, yet near to major transportation arteries. Give the cooks time off, the kitchen is limited. Hot tub available, but we didn’t use it. Birds everywhere!

Beautiful views
Loved sitting out on the patio drinking coffee and looking at the mountains. Short drive to restaurants and stores, super convenient location. House was clean and had everything we needed. No stove though, only hot plate. Would stay here again!

Nice property except for a few comments.
Overall the stay was amazing. Very nice setting and surrounding area. Off the beaten path in an established area on the outskirts of Tuscon. Accommodations were comfortable for the most part. One exception, which is notable, is the lack of privacy in the evenings. The guest house was very close to the main house and the window overlooking the main house had no privacy as in window coverings. In the evenings, you could see into the main house kitchen, bedroom and living area. ALSO the same applied in the guest house. If the lights were on at night there was no PRIVACY. This was very uncomfortable the entire stay. Hope this can be resolved. Limited the ability to enjoy yourself, watch a movie in the living room area in the evenings.

A pleasant stay
Casita was well located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Slightly off a side road and a dedicated gravel parking area. Nicely maintained and many thoughtful, personalized touches. Well stocked toiletries and storage area, closets, etc. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful home and quiet neighborhood
We had a great time staying in our vacation home for one week in the Casa Adobes neighborhood. We never met our host but the check-in was easy. She emailed the instructions and we had no issues. The house was clean and well kept with nice furnishings. Our only issues were the furniture on the patio is not what is shown on their site. It's an inexpensive metal bistro set that you can't sit on. Therefore there was nothing for us to sit on outside to enjoy the beautiful view this house has. The other was the washer and dryer. They only hold two bath towels at a time. After a couple loads I gave up and chose not to mess with it. We did love the quietness of the neighborhood and took many walks around it and found everyone to be very friendly. There are so many wonderful restaurants and shopping in the area. If you get the chance drive up to the top of Mt Lemon for some of the most spectacular views. Overall it is a nice home and we enjoyed our weeks stay.
