About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Across from Saguaro National Park (East)

Wake up to the Sanoran Desert in the middle of 7.4 acres. Pour yourself a coffee and watch the sunrise over the Rincon Mountains and 550,000 acres of wilderness. Take off for a day of exploring. Tucson offers well over 100 miles of paved, mostly level bike paths in and around town and countless more challenging rides and unending single track trails. When you're tuckered out, head back to your casita for a hot shower, pour a drink, and sit on the West side of the house and watch the sunset over the Tucson Mountains. Put a match to the fire in the chiminea and you'll warm up as the desert cools down. A good night's sleep in the cozy casita and you'll be ready for more adventures!

Desert Get Away Next to Saguaro National Park
The casita is situated on acreage, next to the host's home. Hosts were non invasive, yet very friendly, helpful, and knowledgable about the area. When asked, they made several activity suggestions that we loved. The property is away from city lights, however sounds from the major roadway could be heard. But that didn't take away from the pleasure of hearing coyotes howl and having wandering javelinas pass through. Amenities are simple, but sufficient (internet, but no TV). We loved our stay, and would absolutely stay there again.

Desert Getaway
This is a clean, comfortable, somewhat no frills getaway. The driveway experience is like driving through the desert, because it basically is. The indoor space is cozy, and pretty basic, but absolutely fine. Unless, of course, you are looking for things like a TV. We were not, and it actually took us a few days to even realize there wasn’t one. The outdoor space is where the Saguaro Casita really shines. It is a VERY natural setting, but then again, you can see how much work has gone into caring for the landscape. And it’s a great spot to watch for wildlife. We spotted some Javelinas and a Roadrunner on the property, which was fantastic!

Great rural desert location
If you like rural country desert setting with a very comfortable cottage this is the perfect lace for you. The hosts are fantastic being welcoming and and generous with information as well as offering use of their washer and dryer if needed. Highly recommend the place for a certain type of alternative traveler. Really close to national park and hiking. I would definitely return

A cozy little casita! Host Ali and Dick were so accommodating and had lots of tips on what to see in the area. The location was close to so many great points of interest. The property was very comfortable and inviting. We enjoyed days on the go and relaxing nights by the fire. A great little getaway that’s perfect for couples.

Great Getaway!
We're new to AZ and this was our first venture out to explore this wonderful state. We chose this VRBO due to it's proximity to several sites we wanted to see in the Tucson area. The accommodations were excellent and the hosts are really fun folks..well traveled, very talented and fun to visit with! The casita was as advertised..very quiet, beautiful grounds and very comfortable. One thing to note is that there is no TV..however, the internet is fast and we were able to catch a couple of movies on our iPad so it wasn't a problem. Overall, we would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again if in the area!

We wanted a place near friends that live in Tucson, and near the Saguaro NP - this was a great location. The little garden around the entrance was a nice touch. Watching the sunset off the back porch was great.

Travels to the Saguaro Casita
Oh, what a find! This lodging is magical, and the hosts are sooo accomodating. Truly, the casita is one of the most comfortable lodgings we have ever stayed at. The bed was very comfortable; the shower was just right with plenty of water. There are lots of materials in the casita with information about the area and Tucson, in general. Being located across the street from the Saguaro National Park (for all purposes, one is in the park) is a bonus. As a midwesterner, the casita's southwestern decor was beautiful. Over the entire property are native plants, nurtured and thriving. Both Ali and Dick, the hosts are captivating. We so enjoyed the opportunity to share sunsets with them. I would like to thank them once again for sharing their world and giving folks like us the opportunity to enjoy some time in the desert.

Beautiful Casita next to Saguaro NP. The out of doors is spectacular but the Casita is also very comfortable to hang out in and outside. Dick and Ali are lovely hosts with lots of great ideas for places to hike, eat, and visit around Tucson and elsewhere in SE AZ. Will definitely stay there again!
