About this property

Guesthouse surrounded by Mesquites and Saguaros

Our cozy casita offers an open floor plan, with a queen-size bed and sofa bed.
The kitchenette is equipped with a microwave, full-sized refrigerator, and water kettle for your morning tea or pour-over coffee. There is no kitchen sink - therefore, we are limiting the nightly stay to a maximum of 5 nights.

The casita is located in the lush desert of Northeast Tucson, at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains in an area called the Tanque Verde Valley, known for its magnificent Mesquite trees and cooler temps. There are 85 mature Saguaros on the property. Watch local wildlife, such as Coyotes, Bobcats, and Javelinas, wander through the property. Spot Red Tail Hawks soaring above. Listen to the Owls hooting and the nearby creek rushing.

Includes free wireless internet for guests.

We are minutes away from numerous outdoor activities to keep visitors entertained year-round:
Great hiking locations: such as Saguaro National Park East or Sabino Canyon are a short drive away, as well as numerous trails on Mt. Lemmon.
Biking: Various bike paths surround the Tanque Verde Valley for cycling enthusiasts, as well as Catalina Highway’s bike path that leads to Summerheaven and look-out points. For those cyclists who chose to stay off the main roads, Tucson has to offer over 100 miles of 'The Loop.'
Site Seeing: Visit the amazing Pima Air and Space Museum, Kitt Peak National Observatory, and Colossal Cave Mountain Park. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Tucson Museum of Art. Save a day for Tombstone, and the historic mining town of Bisbee.

Other things to note:
We have 2 dogs, the big one loves meeting new people.

Perfect Saguaro Getaway

My husband and I stayed here for a few days while exploring the Saguaro National Park and were very pleased. The place was very clean, comfortable, and just what we needed! We saw some unique birds on the property and heard a lot of coyotes! We’d definitely stay here again when in the Tucson area.

Birthday getaway

We came for 3 nights and this place was amazing. Such a quiet neighborhood with beautiful saguaros. The room was clean and had everything that was in the listing. It smelled fresh and clean. Close to downtown and many restaurants. I would stay here again when I come back into town.

Cozy Clean Private Retreat

We loved this spacious casita. You can't tell from photos but the little table extends to seat four or more and the host provides extra chairs. I was able to have meals with family here. The neighborhood is quiet, private and beautiful. Excellent value for the price.

A great stay!

We had a great stay… the host was very attentive and the Casita was very clean and bed was comfortable. There was everything we needed except a stove or kitchen sink… but wasn’t a problem because there are great places to eat close by. Viv’s has great breakfast and atmosphere.We would defiantly stay here again! Scott & Cathy

Winter Getaway

We enjoyed the property and its proximity to the areas that we wanted to explore (Saguaro, Sabino, Mt. Lemon etc.),On our last afternoon, a bobcat sauntered across the property. That was a nice way to end our visit.

Unique Tanque Verde Stay

Very nice clean place to stay. Some construction going on while we were staying there. That was a bit loud at times. Still enjoyed the area and convenience of the location. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom and shower was very nice.

Nice casita in Tanke Verde

A very nice place on the edge of the Tucson sprawl and VERY CONVENIENT to Sabino Canyon, Mt. Lemmon and Saguaro NP as well as Tucson itself. An ideal location! A VERY CLEAN and attractive property with a minimalist touch which works very well for a short stay. Nice Saguaro cactus garden right outside the door. Overall one of the best places I’ve stayed in the Tucson area. The owner was fantastic! EXTREMELY helpful in all respects. We hope to visit her again.
