From the moment we turned down the dirt drive we were surrounded by what can best be described as a desert garden, and we knew this place would be special. Our original plan was to stay for 3 nights, but we loved it so much that we decided to stay for 6! The owners have obviously put a lot of love, care, and work into this home. They are warm, friendly, and very helpful. I am very glad we had the chance to meet them! The casita is charming and comfortable, and it was spotless when we arrived. The tile and woodwork are beautiful, the bed is comfy, and the views are amazing. There is a two burner stove that was just right for small meals for the two of us, and a grill outside. We did eat most meals out, there are numerous local restaurants within a 10 to 15 minute drive, and that gave us more time to enjoy the adventure and less time doing dishes. There are chairs on the flagstone patio both in front and back, the sunrises and sunsets are stunning, This is the perfect spot to enjoy the local wildlife while enjoying your morning coffee. There is also a chiminea here that we plan on enjoying at sunset tonight. The property is located across the stree from Saguaro National Park East, the gate is just down the road. My husband is an avid cyclist and loves to run, the opportunities for both here are amazing. The shoulders are wide and the bike paths and trails are fantastic. There are tons of hiking opportunites in the park, as well as other close-by areas. The night skies are clear and dark, perfect for stargazing, and I even managed photographs of the green comet C/2022 E3. We truly loved the peace and comfort of staying here. No doubt we will be back!

The Casita was perfect for Jack and me! Its decor was delightful, with very tasteful southwestern tiles and attractive furniture and wall art. And the outside was wonderful also - several acres of rolling desert with vegetation as varied as that in the adjacent National Park. And our hosts were really special also. Dick and Ali were kind, helpful, informative about the area, friendly and super fun to talk with. Their hospitality was truly excellent. We recommend the Casita very highly and hope to visit again sometime!
