About this property

Tanque Verde Valley Desert Casa

This Tanque Verde Valley Desert Casa is situated on our 3.5 acres property in the north east area of Tucson. The Casa is adjacent to the main house where the owners live full time. We have been providing accommodations for visitors for over 8 years, most returning year after year. Our visitors have enriched our lives and become friends.
Our philosophy is to respect your privacy yet provide the amenities that make ones visit to Tucson exceptional..
The location, we believe, has the best of everything. The general neighborhood is rural in feeling with abundance of birds, hiking and a place for quiet relaxation. The Casa is within walking distance is Agua Calliente Park, a beautiful oasis , a special place for bird watching and short hiking. Additionally, there is a variety of wildlife with towering Saguaros on the property. Grocery shopping, drug stores and restaurants are short distance away. Downtown Tucson and the University of Arizona located about 20 minutes drive from the Desert Casa.
The Casa is about 800 square feet providing 3 rooms. A modern fully equipped kitchen, plus the spacious sitting and eating areas make up the great room. Large flat screen HD/TV and DVD player with a large supply of movies are provided. The separate bedroom has a Queen size bed, small fireplace and desk and closet. A bath off the bedroom features a shower.
The natural desert area provides a backyard fire pit, sitting areas and a panorama view of the desert and the Catalina Mountains. Out the front are views of the Rincon Mountains.
We will be happy to answer all questions and speak directly to you about our property and your expectations.

A Special Retreat
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It was large, comfortable, peaceful, and lovely. There seemed to be anything household you could wish for to enhance your stay. You are surrounded by a natural area full of birds, rabbits, and the occasional chipmunk. This all frames an exceptional view of the mountains. The sunsets are beautiful and the view is largely uninterrupted by development. Sara and Ralph are very helpful when needed, and generous with their time.

Great casa in Tucson!
We stayed in Tucson for just over a week, to spend time with friends (also visiting) and explore the region. Our casa was by far the best one of the 4 rentals! The casa is fully stocked so that I was able to easily cook for 6 people when our friends came for dinner one evening. We enjoyed the back terrace and the beautiful view of the mountain range. It was so cool to see the bobcat that roams back there! We traveled with our dog and the park (Agua Caliente) is a wonderful oasis for the neighborhood. We walked our dog there almost every day and saw many birds. Loved all the hiking that is relatively close to the casa, particularly those in the National Forest where dogs are allowed on the trails. Book this place, you will not regret it!

Beautiful guest house and location. The backyard bird watching was a perk. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Calm desert bungalow
We loved our stay in the Tanque Verde Casa. The wildlife, desert beauty, and thoughtfully appointed little house made a special base for our winter getaway. Helpful but unobtrusive hosts. 6 stars!
