Authentic desert living with easy access to everything

We really enjoyed the stay and had a lot of walks down to the river. Friendly encounters with neighbors, their dogs, some shy coyotes and less shy javelina were common. Both the coyotes and javelina were easily avoided but fun to witness. Also saw a couple of bobcats who were exceptionally shy and didn't like that I spotted them. Access to the Tucson Loop was close and safe for bike rides daily. The kitchen was well-equipped. I brought my own coffee making device for stronger coffee than the Mr. Coffee drip maker provided.

Perfection

Let's start with the most important question: would I rent this again? YES!!! Loved it. Great location, easy to get to everything. The mattress was the right firmness for me and I slept well. The place was super clean. Lots of privacy. Lots of storage with the dresser and walk-in closet. Never a problem with the wifi. Could not have been happier. I've stayed at a number of Vrbo rentals and this is one of the best.

Serene Relaxing Home Away From Home

I grew up in Tucson and love the desert. Being able to sit out on this idyllic patio and watch birds and prairie dogs from the kitchen window was perfect. Brought my watercolors and sketchpad and with a casita well stocked and comfortable, I could take time just for me….a respite thoroughly enjoyed!

Wonderful guest house centrally located

Liz is a great host who responded to all of our needs. The guest casita was charming and in a great location. We were able to go downtown and to the Catalina Mountains within minutes. The guest house was very spacious and had all of the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. We will definitely return for a visit.

We needed a place to stay while attending our daughter’s graduation.

We wanted to spend a few extra days just to enjoy Tucson as we used to live here. I did a lot of walking, some hiking, and we enjoyed listening to some live bands in which our host was a bass player and vocalist. It was fun.

About the host

Hosted by Liz Fletcher and Aria Fletcher-Ratcliff

Came to Tucson from Ashland, Or. 35 years ago and can't leave! I've lived along the Pacific NW coast, Saskatchewan, Arizona White Mountains, Costa Rica, and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Musician and massage therapist by trade. Our home had lots of extra space from now converted to hosting, we've now had many hundreds of stays over 5 years.
My goal as a host is to provide a comfortable, very clean and private stay in Tucson! Tucson is a fantastic town with an endless variety of things to see and do.

Why they chose this property

My favorite area of town, we are located blocks from the Rillito Wash, near the UA, and a short drive to most anything. In 2015 we began re-purposing unused space for hosting
. Along the way the yard was overhauled for water harvesting and solar panels..
Hosting has been an unexpected adventure! This neighborhood was a ranch, incorporated in 1938 after which the city grew around it. The neighborhood has retained generous half acre lots and low density with foresight. A wildlife corridor arroyo through the neighborhood brings javelina, bobcats, owls, coyotes, and the like. Our wide quiet streets are enjoyed by neighborhood dog walkers and cyclists.

What makes this property unique

Central yet peaceful and private. Old neighborhood with great neighbors!
Walking distance to a few restaurants and groceries. Excellent walking, jogging, and biking access from the house to the 100 mile non-motorized "Loop", or bike path which surrounds the city.
The UA, Tucson Racquet Club, JCC, Sat. Farmer's Market and Sun. artisan market, and Trader Joe's are all minutes away.
