Authentic Tucson Experience: Mud Adobe Casita Nestled in Canyon Among Wildlife

Nestled inside a boulder studded canyon this adobe casita is the perfect peaceful retreat possessing a commanding view of Tucson. With just under 4 acres to roam, the romance of the location will enchant couples. Possessing the rustic qualities of the classic Tucson adobe style, the massive 16' thick walls of the adobe casita were forged from the earth with adobe blocks made on site.  The casita appears as though it's always been there having grown out of the ground merging seamlessly with the surrounding desert. Adobe construction including passive solar design moderate temperatures in ways unmatched by other building materials providing an unsurpassed level of comfort.  

If you've never slept in an adobe home it may be your best night's sleep yet.  The natural materials of the casita were chosen to effect a calming harmony that will help relax you into a deep slumber at night as the coyotes serenade you to sleep.  Imagine waking fully restored with an energy reminiscent of your childhood.  

The casita features the conveniences of modern living:
•Update Facebook, connect with your family at home via Skype, or just catch up on a TV show you missed on HULU from any room with WIFI. 
•Catch the big game, your favorite soap, or the most popular prime-time shows on a large, flat screen, LED HDTV. 
•Cuddle with loved ones as the wood burning fireplace warms and transforms your nights into a cherished memory.
•Whip up a quick snack using the new microwave then stash the dishes in the new dishwasher. 
•Even though you'll start to miss the casita before you leave, take advantage of the new washer and dryer to pack fresh, clean clothes. 
•Start your morning with a complimentary coffee starter pack.
•The 300+ thread count, organic cotton sheets are a joy to sleep on. Additional linens provided to enhance your comfort.
•With more than 350 days of sunshine, Tucson is the sunniest city in the US. Attached covered parking protects your vehicle.
•For your convenience a hair dryer is stored in the bath vanity. 
•A naturalist library containing numerous field guides to look up your discoveries made during your foray into the surrounding desert. 
•A full kitchen is available for foodies wanting to cook for themselves.

Wonderful once you get there.
Fantastic once you find the property. Loved every part of my experience here except for landing after dark and trying to navigate to the house at night. Unsettling experience and had to turn around and stay at the casino for the night and wait until day time to find my way. The directions the hosts sends are fine as long as it’s light out. Again - great property once you arrive. Thanks!

Great get-a-way property
We chose this property based on several factors: location, reviews & adventure. Very good choice for us! The Adobe is beautiful & quiet, nice linens & plenty of towels was a bonus. Washer & Dryer too. The all-you-need hot water shower/bath was really a pleasure. Also, Alexa was a very nice surprise! Views were amazing. Everything was very peaceful and relaxing. Would suggest an SUV for the roads. Very easy to drive to Safeway, Walgreens, fast food, etc,

Lovely Casita
Can't get much closer to nature than staying at the Mud Adobe Casita. The views are amazing. Lots of bird song from dawn to dusk, owls hooting in the evenings and the wash in the back yard is covered it footprints from neighborhood nighttime visitors bobcats and javelina's!. The Casita itself is warm and welcoming. Lovely interior and all the comforts of home including very comfortable beds to sleep in. Perfect size for a small family or couple. I really hope to visit again.

Gorgeous, Peaceful, Comfortable
The casita met all my expectations. It is in a gorgeous quiet setting. The king bed was very comfortable and we slept so deep and peaceful every night we were there. It is dark and quiet at night, and the adobe construction was wonderful. We enjoyed the fireplace, and all the special high quality details that this place provided, like nice sheets, towels, cookware, appliances, decor etc. There is another rental house next to the casita, but we felt like we had plenty of privacy and didn’t notice other guests.

Great family get together
Seven of us from 3 generations came from Seattle, Oberlin Ohio and New York to gather in the desert for a big birthday celebration and had both the Casa and Casita to enjoy. It was wonderful. We had stayed at both individually in the past but having both at once was a treat. Our own Tucson Family Compound. As usual, both were clean, comfortable and well equipped. Andrew also arranged for an additional bed to meet our needs. The setting and surrounding landscape is one of the special treats of staying there. So private and so beautiful. Our 11 year old participant led the climb up the "mountain" behind the Casa and Casita. Just an overall great experience.
