About the host
Hosted by Karen Friel
Been in Tucson most of my life. Can say I'm a native because I moved out here when I was two. Father built the house and guesthouse while working a full time job, raising 6 kids. I am a Life Enrichment Director and work with seniors. I love working with seniors. I love entertaining, hiking, biking, pickleball, working out, water sports, swimming, and country music. I love to cook and always trying new recipes.
Why they chose this property
This property is special because my father built it and yet it is old but has a lot of memories and charisma. Lots of family and friend events have been here on the property. I got married in the back yard and have hosted a few weddings, many birthdays, bridal and wedding showers.
What makes this property unique
Beautiful sunsets.
