Resort-like experience for us. Great comfort, and we got far more in value than any 4-star hotel stay. Absolutely recommend this property and will try to stay there again!

Lovely stay; so quiet, peaceful and natural. Everything in the suite is of high quality. Good coffee included. Would stay again. It is a bit of a journey to town for dinner; and because of the dark skies mandate (which I LOVE) the country roads at night can be slow

Five Star stay as always

Great stay
Thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day / 3 night stay. The casita was very clean, spacious and comfortable - excellent bed. Host provided all of the essentials for a relaxing stay. We especially liked his artwork! The location is far enough from the urban noise to enjoy some peace and quiet but was still easily accessible to all of the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show venues. Thanks, Tom!

We scheduled a week's stay at this homey casita. It was quiet, relaxing, and had everything we needed. We planned ahead knowing what the tiny but mighty kitchenette could accommodate for meals, including tending to the BBQ while watching sunset from the porch swing. It was an immaculate and well cared for space. The owners were super helpful and responsive to our questions, but they also gave us total privacy. We will definitely return.

Great place to recharge, for me and my wife! Nice clean studio, very private. Minimal contact with owner as needed. We were able to relax on the back porch and visit all the places we loved within 20 minutes of everything for us. Gated and quiet neighborhood, would definitely come back, would have loved to use the pool maybe next time, thanks Thomas!

This studio type apt was perfect for our weekend getaway. We weren’t interested in cooking but the small fridge and microwave were great for breakfast and coffee with the sunrise could not have been better!

Very accommodating
The property was very nice, and close to many wonderful hiking trails. We had to leave early due to COVID-19, my advanced age and underlying health issues. The owner, Tom, was very accommodating by generously refunding the majority of what we paid. Tom wrote a check then and there on the spot as we left which was more than fair.

Cute place!
This was adorable! Roomy enough and private for the two of us. Very comfortable with a private covered porch to sit outside and enjoy nature. Enough kitchen items for simple meals and snacks.

Lovely casita in the foothills
The property is rather far from downtown but we love it in the foothills. The casita was in a great location and we saw quite a bit of wildlife. I recommend this casita especially if you donot plan on being downtown daily and love being in the country

Catalina Foothills Casita
What a joy to relax in this private abode, sip good coffee, and look out at saguaros in the desert landscape. The casita is much bigger than appears online, and was very well appointed. The pool looked inviting, but Tucson was having a cold snap so we hiked instead. The casita is near the scenic drive up Mt. Lemmon and beautiful creek-fed Sabino Canyon. About a 35-minute drive into downtown Tucson (but there are shops and restaurants close by). You’ll love this quiet getaway.

Absolutely splendid!
We have truly enjoyed our stay here. The guest house and grounds are perfect for us. Everything we could have possibly needed is in this large, comfortable space. It is furnished and decorated beautifully. We were in a beautiful area in the Catalina Foothills. Quiet but not remote which made going anywhere a breeze. Thomas was here should we have needed anything. I feel that he takes great pride in this entire property and it shows. Ed and I both agree that is the best property we've ever stayed in. We'd love to head west again!

Private space in fantastic location for hikers / nature exploration
We stayed for three nights in mid-February 2019. The property is situated on the NE corner of greater Tucson, close to the Catalina highway. We stayed here because of the proximity to Mount Lemmon and the Catalina mountains.
The space is detached from the owner's house. The owner is an artist and the walls are decorated with some nice examples of his work. There is plenty of room for two. The main space serves as sleeping quarters, and TV / lounge area. There is a back porch with seating and a BBQ. The kitchen area features a microwave, firdge and freezer. The only "odd" thing is that there is no kitchen sink; we stacked our dirties in a bowl and the owner took care of it from there; it was not an issue. the bathroom is spacious, the water pressure fine and the water hot. it takes a minute to warm up, a long feed pipe to the shower.
We would highly recommend the property if you want to be in this area of Tucson. It's a stretch to the downtown area, but not insurmountable.

Great place! Highly recommended!
We stayed for 4 days at the Catalina Ranch Estates in February of 2019. The guest suite was large, very clean and attractively furnished. It was very thoughtfully equipped, with everything we needed, including high quality disposable plates, silverware, and coffee. The king sized bed was extremely comfortable. We sat out on the very private porch and drank wine in the evenings after hiking all day. We had a wonderful time and hope to return!

Private, cozy, clean, beautiful views.
We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. It was clean and met all our needs. The king bed was very comfortable. They have a kitchenette not a full kitchen but we knew that when we booked. We made use of the bbq outside on our private patio. They even refreshed our towels after a few days. They also provided coffee for us. We enjoy our privacy and we had that here. Close to attractions on the east side of Tucson.

Spacious, peaceful, and very well appointed!
Gracious host, and the setting is beautiful. The rooms are large, the bed comfortable, and the the views serene.
Very quiet so it was easy to relax.

Quiet, Comfortable, Peaceful
Very pleasant, clean accommodations. Rarely saw Tom but when needed when we locked ourselves out, he responded within fifteen minutes. We intend to come back to Tucson and will consider Catalina Ranch again. It is close to Saguaro East, Sabino Canyon, the DeGrazia Gallery, and the Catalinas.

The best kept secret in Tucson!
My husband and I were very pleasantly surprised when we opened the door to our little Casita at the Javelina Homestead... it was bigger, brighter and even prettier than the pictures. We spent 10 days...and have already reserved for three weeks in the fall. The proximity to the Saguaro National Park, Sabino Canyon and the Biking Loop made it a perfect location. Restaurants and groceries are about three miles away. Great sunsets off the back porch...every night!
The owners, Tom and Bonnie, were very accommodating.
One helpful hint if you are visiting in December/January... pack warm clothes! We might also recommend Broadway Bicycles for bike rentals and of course you must visit Tanque Verde Ranch and see or ride the horses. It is about ten minutes away and open to the public daily!
This was our first visit to Tucson, but we see many more visits for hiking and biking in our very near future. We’re hoping we can always stay in The Sweeney’s Casita!
