This was a wonderful space for my hubby and I to spend time in the outskirts of Tucson which is where we wanted to be! Nice house with wonderful views but within 30 minutes of anywhere we wanted to go in the city and easy access to the national park!

This was as beautiful as the photograph on the listing and just the perfect place to spend our vacation. We loved the quiet area and the sightings of the local birds and animals. The casita is very comfortable and yet spacious enough for us to have some friends join us for dinner one evening. We would definitely rent this vacation home again.

This wonderful casita is away from the bustle of Tucson and nestled at the foot of a mountain. The quiet was wonderfully restorative. We were surrounded by cactus and other flora of the desert. We enjoyed the multitude of birds in the area, particularly the Gambel's quail with many wee chicks. There were deer on the hillside and javelina crossing the road at night. After our week-long stay, we were sad to leave this wonderful location.
This was our second time to stay at Adobe Ranch. We loved this property. The Casita is charming! It is furnished nicely and kitchen is well equipped. We spent many hours sitting on the patio, enjoying the beautiful desert. It is really such a quiet, serene location. There are other casitas on the property. This is the second one we stayed in. Both were great, this one slightly larger. We will return for sure!
Fun place - just what we wanted. The casita had plenty of space for two people and beautiful dessert views. Quite idyllic.
FYI - it is off the beaten path, so no quick access to restaurants and such. However, it is a perfect dessert oasis.
