So quiet and comfortable. Loved waking up to the light from the skylight in the bathroom. The back yard garden is such a treat to sit and have coffee in the morning and watch the birds and desert wild life. Inside the cottage was so comfortable and cozy. Enough room for us. Kitchen well stocked with all the things you'll need for cooking. Bathroom linens and bed linens in abundance. Patti, our host was so nice and there for us if we needed anything. Pool was nice, didn't get a chance to get in it. Had too much going on. It was a great retreat. Will love to book and stay again.

The host, Patti, was friendly, responsive and non-intrusive. She responded to me almost immediately, solved my problem and then allowed me to soak in the desert beauty in the well-landscaped back yard. She kept the bird feeder well-stocked in thistle seed which attracted many colorful small birds. My favorites there: the Cooper's hawk who spent about 20 minutes preening his feathers, a Desert Spikey lizard who sunned himself on a rock, and a bobcat that I found staring through the sliding glass window in my bedroom! I appreciated that the windows were so clean which allowed me to take clear photos through them. The casita was very well stocked and it seemed that all my needs were anticipated. The mattresses and pillows were top notch, and all the furniture was comfortable. The decor is mostly southwestern.She invites the renter to take an Arizona-based magnet from the refrigerator door as a souvenir. I have mine on my refrigerator, and it reminds me of a memorable stay in Patti and Larry's desert retreat. Thank you!

We loved the Casita, and the yard was just beautiful with lots of birds to watch. We loved that they had a nice crock pot, so easy to have dinner ready when we returned from walks or golf. We walked on a dirt path by street that goes by Hosts driveway, and it was in from the main street, so very much fun to walk and didn't have to watch for cars. A lot of other paths in area also that we enjoyed. Played golf and Crooked Tree became our favorite.

Our host was nice, the location for us was great. Having space to move around was a plus. Beds were memory foam and were comfortable. I have no doubt the unit is cleaned between guests, but a deep clean is suggested soon. Carpets need one and a peek behind any furniture revealed more need. That said, I do recommend this property and would stay here again. P.S. - We left for home earlier than expected due to weather and the host, unsolicited & graciously offered a full day credit towards our next stay.

Loved the backyard desert garden and the location in uncongested area made for a great way (could hear coyotes some nights!) to experience the desert. Patti was awesome and very accommodating by lending us some tools. Highly recommend.

We did not cook much but well stocked. (Bring your own decaf k cups and tea if you're not a caffeinated coffee drinker.) The dirt road was a challenge to find in the dark but very peaceful once we arrived. We felt very welcomed and enjoyed our stay.

Came home to visit from Canada and had my sister and friends stay with me. The pool is lovely and the cactus garden is beautiful. The house was honey and very comfortable. The beds were lovely with the big plush pillows. Both Patti and Larry are wonderful hosts. Thank you so much again. Ten stars!!

Patti’s place is cozy and quiet but has all the amenities of home. It’s far enough out to unplug but close enough to all the attractions of Tucson. We hiked, toured and visited all we wanted in the day then relaxed on the covered back porch in the evenings. Many birds in the area and the view in the back is beautiful. Highly recommend

We enjoyed our stay with Patti and Larry for 3 months. They were kind, helpful and hospitable. The guest house is very comfortable. The wildlife add an extra dimension to your stay with many birds and the occasional bob cat strolling by!

Slice of heaven
Patti and Larry were wonderful hosts! They provided advice when asked and allowed us freedom of the property at all times including the pool. The landscaping with giant saguaros, prickly pears, and agaves was exotic and beautiful for us Wisconsinites. Mountains surrounded the property. A wonderful trip! As good as it can be. Thanks Patti and Larry!

Wow!
We have stayed at VRBO properties all around the northern hemisphere and this was the nicest of all. Beautiful ‘casita’ in the desert, close to everything but absolutely QUIET with only the only noise being the wind, birds, and coyotes. Patti is an absolute sweetheart of a host....attentive, but not intrusive. We will be back

Relaxing stay
Our stay was great! Patty was an excellent host and made sure our stay was very comfortable. The casita was very nice with a very comfortable couch and bed and is kept clean. The casita had all the things we needed for day to day. The location was central to places we like to visit and was quiet. We enjoyed watching the birds at the feeder each morning. We would stay here again.

Both remote and convenient
located in An area of horse farms it felt like you were deep in the desert. when you Google something it was normally under 5 miles away. Tiny kitchen is only down I saw. Host lives next door but seem to think of everything so you won't need her.

Perfect location for us, close to family. Loved the back patio and landscaped yard inside wall. We even had a bobcat jump over the wall for a visit one morning!

Beautiful and peaceful place!
My husband and I spent a week at this lovely home celebrating 18 years of marriage. We were very comfortable and enjoyed hearing and seeing bird’s each morning among the lovely cactus garden. We rode bikes three days out of our stay from the property and loved that they were available for our use. Thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful home.

Amazing Views - Great Location
I wanted a place outside of town where I could easily walk in the desert in the morning, and this was by far the best place. The home was clean and comfortable with large comfortable beds, a large living area with comfy sofa, and the best views. I sat on the back porch working on my laptop just watching the birds and enjoy the all the desert life around me. Patti is very friendly and has put together a wonderful welcome packet showing everything around to see, do, and places to enjoy a bite to eat. When I return to Tucson, this is where I want to stay again! - Amazing

Calming retreat close to the city.
The house had everything one would need and was very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the beautifully landscaped and tranquil property. The pool was a wonderful respite from the heat. Patti is a great host and she made sure we were comfortable.

Wishing I was still there!
We have been back at our home in Reno for 10 days now. I still close my eyes at night and envision the garden outside our bedroom window at Patti and Larry’s place. I can’t think of a negative thing to say. I was reluctant because owners are on the property but it wasn’t an issue. I was so amazed by the beautiful landscaping. Pool is beautiful and they make an effort to be indoors when you are using the pool. Other than the pool area the guesthouse is totally private. It is cute, comfortable and everything worked. Totally private patio and porch swing...just listen to the birds! We will be regular guests if it is available.

After being on Covid lockdown for 16 months, we completed the vaccine program and decided it was time to go meet our grandbaby born in early 2020. We was made up of three generations.Patty's property was close to our kids, and the perfect size for our party of three. I was looking for a place close, clean and easily accessible for my aging mother, with Wi-fi and two bedrooms.Patty's exceeded all my expectations. It has a wonderfully calm and welcoming vibe to it. It was so peaceful and cozy. She has it decorated as cute as can be. The back yard is relaxing, quiet and showcases why AZ is special.I could write a litany of reasons why this is the best place in the area, but I also want it available for me to come back on my quarterly trips to see the grands.If you want a place that pulls all the stress away, is relaxing, has good amenities and feels like home - - this is it!

Great experience
The casita was just what we like for a stay in Tucson. It's in a ranch type location, surrounded by desert vegetation. We had a lovely backyard with privacy. Our host Patti was so great to help us with anything we needed. We will definitely come back.

An oasis of solitude in Oro Valley
My husband and I were looking for a place of solitude to decompress over Thanksgiving Break (we are both teachers, and the C-19 pandemic in our district has been challenging, to say the least), and we found it here. A beautiful guest house, cozy and comfortable awaited us. Patty was the penultimate hostess, providing everything we needed and then allowing us the privacy we sought. Just sitting on the swing looking at her incredible Sonoran backyard was enough. The quiet, the goldfinches feeding on their sock was enough to put us in peaceful bliss. We will definitely be back to this charming place. Thanks, Patty, for making us feel so welcome. Denise & Matt Abbe
