Ann and Bruce are great hosts. They keep the house sparkling clean and welcome guests with homemade cookies and more. Casa Reina is our home away from home on our annual trip to Tucson. Ann is an artist and has carefully curated an inviting Southwest treasure. We enjoy our time there and hope you will too.

The house was scrupulously clean, generously stocked (we really didn't need those three rolls of toilet paper we brought just in case and we really appreciated the water and sodas in the refrigerator), and so comfortable we felt at home the moment we walked in the door (and we loved the patio and the delightful decor in the living room). The kitchen had every amenity necessary. The neighborhood was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go and at the same time amazingly quiet. Ann and Bruce were quick to respond to any query. We're already talking about returning to Tucson to see the places we missed and we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else. Thank you!

The location was great! Our house made us cookies which was nice. We choose to stay at a VRBO so have the option of cooking. There were very little staples like seasonings, tin foil etc. There isn’t much storage in one of the bedrooms. We had to put our clothes in the drawer in the hallway. The smaller bathroom had no counter space to put any toiletries. These are all personal preferences. The backyard is beautiful and a nice space!

I would like to give this 20 stars. Everything about the home was just so perfect and comfortable. The beds were extremely nice and all of the linens were high-end. Our hosts were so accommodating and left us snacks and the best cookies ever. The landscaping around the house is such a joy to walk through. It amazed us that even though we were in the heart of things, the house was so quiet. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathrooms are beautiful!. The artwork in the home was so interesting. Given I am an artist, I enjoyed everything so much. I just felt like we were visiting family. The floor plan is perfect for two couples traveling together. The bedrooms are separated and feel very private. The living room furniture was very comfortable. I think I could go on and on, but hopefully you won't hesitate to book this place. The Casita in the garden is another gem.

U of A grad weekend

It was perfect. Close to the university, clean home, felt very safe. Ann and Bruce had some extras that we appreciated after travel, ie cold water in the fridge, homeade cookies, a bag of chips and jar of salsa. Our daughter graduated so we aren’t likely to go back, but I would highly recommend it.

A few of us came to visit a friend that lives in the area. We did a few searches and found Casa Reina, the pictures looked amazing but it’s even better in person. Such beautiful touches inside and out. Bruce and Ann had fresh baked cookies and plenty of snack and drinks upon arrival. The beds were comfortable, we all slept like babies. You are walking distance to the UA stadium and a little hike to some shopping but wasn’t bad in the beautiful weather we had. We have told our friends and family about your little gem. Thanks again!
