Perfect Stay

My wife and I and our dogs spent five night visiting Tucson (we lived there for years back in the 90s). The house and grounds were even cuter in person and made an excellent central base for our trip. Pups appreciated the dog treats!

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.

Tucson stay

We all found that the beds were a little hard and the pebbled flooring in one of the bathrooms was uncomfortable for showering. Apart from that, and missing a dishwasher, it was a very nice property and very conveniently located in Tucson.

Amazing house

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!

House very welcoming with many special touches. The Christmas tree, snacks, souvenir postcard, homemade cookies all added to our Christmas experience. Beautiful artisan pieces through out the house were perfect. Patio was very comfortable and quiet. The convenience of downtown only a mile away. Easy access to many restaurant choices and shopping.
