Beautiful location overlooking Tucson

This was a wonderful, clean guest house on a larger property. Property owner is in the main house and was helpful and communicative. Location was great for our East Tucson activities and we had a wonderful view as it is on a little bit of a hill. I would stay here again.

Couldn't ask for a better place to stay!

A great casita in a wonderful location. Ken's casita is a quiet place to stay right on the edge of town. Grocery stores and restaurants within a mile, yet when you're out by the pool or sitting on the casita patio you wouldn't know it. Ken & Corey are great hosts! If you're on the fence about booking this casita, jump on over and hit the Book Now button. You won't regret it!

Easy access to nature

It was nice to be at the edge of town with a good view, and the property was conveniently located to visit local parks and hikes in the area. We heard coyotes outside one night.

Retreat in the desert

Ken was a great host and his place was beautifully maintained. We woke up to the views of the mountains and watched coyotes trot by. We were very close to the best hikes and restaurants. We also had the hot tub at the end of a long day of hiking. We couldn’t be happier and it was the perfect spot to relax, getaway and celebrate our anniversary.

Nice casita among the cacti!

Ken and Corey were gracious hosts - checking every couple of days to see if we needed anything (towels, coffee, whatever we might need)! The casita is on a beautiful lot with a great view - we loved walking around the area in the early mornings! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed! Grocery stores, restaurants, shopping are all close by.

Beautiful view, quiet location, and super considerate host. Everything was perfect at this casita. The sunsets from the hot tub were divine. The quiet mornings on the back patio were refreshing and invigorating. Everything was ADA accessible too. I'll be back

FABULOUS Guest House in the Tucson foothills

My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights in May. The accommodation was deluxe and spacious. Very private from the main house. The host Ken welcomed us, gave us ideas for what we should do and see in Tucson, and invited us to use his beautiful pool whenever we wanted. He was eager to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and asked us many times if we needed anything. If we return to Tucson we would stay nowhere else. We highly recommend this guest accommodation.

What a Treat!

We stayed for 5 mights at Ken's casita and had a wonderful experience. We arrived very late (2:30am) and they left the lights on to make it easy for tired travelers to find their way. Everything was even better than anticipated. The kitchen is well supplied and we cooked there every evening. When we needed a little bit of something, Ken shared which was so helpful. The beds were very comfortable. I personally loved the shower and, of course, the sunrises from the back patio and the sunsets from the pool and hot tub. The location was perfect for us. We were there to enjoy the hiking and desert experience and we didn't have to go far to enjoy it. We traveled around quite a bit and Ken gave us great tips on what to not miss with a 1 year old along too. We loved everything about our time with Ken, Corey and Sadie (the sweetest dog). In fact, I think the little one loved the pool and Sadie the most. We felt welcomed and cared for yet living in our own space. I hope we can come back and stay with them again some day.

Trouble-free Tucson

The property was immaculately clean and beautifully presented. It was just as expected, with lovely views and outdoor seating as well as the pool and hot-tub at the main house. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, but not at all intrusive. Also, we were provided with coffee, water and as much laundry detergent as you wanted, along with dish-washer tablets and ample toiletries. Wonderful location enhanced by thoughtful hosts.

Awesome Casita with Very Supportive Owner.

My family and I stayed at Ken's Casita for 4 nights leading up to Thanksgiving and everything worked great. The kitchen area was large enough that we could prepare meals and the seating was adequate for as many as 8 people. Ken lives on site and is extremely helpful and supportive of any needs. I highly recommend staying at this home.l

Great view overlooking Tucson

We had a great stay at The property. We liked the proximity to Saguaro NP, Mt Lemmon and the Pima Air and space Museum. The neighborhood was very quiet and the stars gazing was great. Even though the house we stayed in was right next to Kens house it still had a private feel. Ken was very nice and informative about the surrounding area. The pool and hot tub was nice and warm. We would stay again if in Tucson again. Rob G

Great place!

This is our second stay here, and hopefully won’t be our last. We love the views, all the natural light, and the peaceful area. The only thing better than the rental are the owners. Ken and Corey are the best! So friendly and accommodating, we felt like we were staying with family. Thanks for another great stay guys, we hated to leave.

We really enjoyed the outside areas of this property along with the views. The pool and hot tub were an added bonus. Ken was extremely accommodating to all our needs.

Great girls' trip

This location has unbeatable views of the city and spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Just sitting out on the patio in the sun might be enough of a vacation, but this place is also so close to great hiking, downtown Tucson, and so many other activities. The house is so comfortable, with a well appointed kitchen, beautiful bathroom, and lots of space! Bonus fire pit and hot tub! Hosts are welcoming and accommodating. Highly, highly recommend.
