About this property
Private Foothills Casita - Mountain & City Views
Immerse yourself in the unique charm of the Southwest with our standalone casita, a masterpiece designed by the renowned watercolor artist Tom Hill. Located on over an acre of land and in front of the main house, it offers complete privacy and an authentic Tucson experience.
Constructed using traditional burnt adobe bricks, the casita features exposed ceiling beams and saguaro-rib patio railings, exuding an unmistakable Southwest charm. The front porch presents a stunning view of the natural desert landscape, leading your gaze to the bustling downtown Tucson cityscape, with clear sights of A Mountain and the University of Arizona football stadium.
Enter through the distinctive "jackrabbit" door into a spacious living room, where comfort meets style. Here, relax by a crackling fire in the beehive fireplace, binge-watch your favorite shows on a 70” Vizio TV powered by Roku, or stay connected with blazing fast Wi-Fi. The full kitchen, equipped with all the essentials, including a new microwave and a Breville oven, invites you to whip up delicious meals, perfect for both extended stays and weekend getaways.
Step outside to the fenced back patio, an idyllic spot for enjoying Tucson's warm evenings with outdoor dining and relaxation. As the day ends, retreat to the cozy bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, where the premium Purple queen-size mattress ensures a restful night's sleep.
And, if they are in season, you can pick lemons, oranges and grapefruit right from our citrus grove behind the casita.
This casita is not just a place to stay; it's a journey into the heart of the Southwest, where every detail has been thoughtfully curated to provide an unforgettable Tucson experience.

For biking and walking enthusiasts, the nearby Rillito River Park Trail, known as "The Loop," stretches 11 miles through Tucson's north side, offering a picturesque journey along the Rillito Riverbed.

Classic Foothills Casita
From the sunsets and city lights views to the quiet and comfortable bed, to the cozy fireplace, the spacious front and back porch and patio, and a great location, Dan and Amber’s casita is wonderfully appointed. Will stay again.

2 weeks in tucson
We very much enjoyed a two week stay at Dan and Amber‘s foothills Casita. Conveniently located near shopping and restaurants, with excellent views of the foothills desert and an overlook at Tucson. The sunsets were beautiful and we saw havelinas on the front steps at breakfast. The casita was well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies. It offered a very comfortable bed and living room furniture with a nice fireplace. We highly recommend this Casita and this is definitely a five star rental.
