Ginger and Candace are wonderful hosts. They made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed during our 2.5 week stay.We felt comfortable in the beautiful casita right away. It has everything one needs for an extended stay. The lovely outdoor spaces allow you to enjoy the hummingbirds and relax while still feeling private. We used the outdoor gas grill a lot!The neighborhood is quiet, with beautiful natural landscaping and the location great for accessing hiking trails.

The casita is nicely appointed, extremely well designed and very comfortable for two people. The decor is highly appropriate for the southwest with Saltillo tile floors and art. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood. We had a grand time sitting on the spacious and comfortable patio drinking wine before dinner. The hostess was helpful and informative and frequently checked to see if we needed anything. When we have the opportunity we would like to stay here again.There are a couple of National Parks close to Tucson, but we have been there before so did other touring. The San Xavier Del Bac Mission is a masterpiece of Spanish Colonial architecture and a national landmark. The Christmas Eve mass was very spiritual and fitting for the location on the Tohono O'odham reservation. The Arizona Sonora Desert Museum is well designed and interesting. Tombstone is a little kitschy but fun.

Warm and Kind

I stayed a weekend at this cute property and Ginger was amazingly comforting. She and her partner have a quiet place that is cozy and quiet which was perfect. Little details such as the maps of things to do, a binder of nearby restaurants and grocery, even extra blankets and pillows in the closet in case needed were the little extra touch.

This was our 2nd stay at the guest house. Candace and Ginger are excellent hosts. The place is charming and homey and has anything you need for your stay. This is likely our last visit as our son is moving in May but it was a gem to find while he lived there! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property :) Theresa

It was our daughter's graduation from U of A. This adorable little casita is close to campus, yet in a nice quiet neighborhood so if felt a bit like home. Check in was easy and check out was easy. The place is very clean and comfortable. The carpet in the bedroom is like walking on clouds. I would definitely stay here again.
