This was just the perfect spot for my husband and me to return to each evening after a busy day of sightseeing in the Tucson area. It is so nice to have a kitchen for preparing breakfast each morning or a light supper in the evening. This casita was very quiet and private in a nice neighborhood for taking an evening walk. So much nicer than staying in a hotel! I could get up early (darn that difference in time zones!)and curl up with a book in a comfy chair in the living room, while not disturbing my sleeping husband in the bedroom. Lovely, large tiled shower. The Desert Nook was a cozy and comfortable home base for us. We both enjoyed it and would return if we got the chance. Char was so helpful and drew me a map of the nearby shops and neighboring streets! That really came in handy! We explored the Saguaro National Park, Desert Museum, Sabino Canyon hiking trails (take extra water!!), Mt. Lemmon (lovely place to cool off!), Colossal Cave and Mission Xavier. Then we moved down to Tombstone and toured Kartchner Caverns State Park (awesome cave!), Bisbee and the copper mine, and the old streets of Tombstone.

The owner, Char, portrayed the property perfectly in her description & pictures.
The covered porch was great, we spent a lot of time sitting there watching the birds & wild life. Char was a great hostess. The inside deplicted typical Tucson. We had a wonderful time. We went to Tucson to view the Foothills & the Nook was a perfect location to do just that. The pool was a god send in the 105 degree heat. The Nook was very clean and well maintained. The welcome basket was a perfect touch. We would stay there again in a heatbeat & recomend it highly to anyone who wants to visit Tucson.

I cannot say how much we enjoyed our stay. Perect locatiion for all Tuscon's attrations and everyting North and South. Charlene is a perfect host and the Desert Nook has everyting you could want.
We have been coming to Tucson for 16 years but the house we stayed in before was no longer available so it was with some trepidation that we rented a new place but we were not disapointed.
The Desert Nook is extreemly comfortable - wonderful bed - great breakfast on the terrace - most of the best restaurants in Tucson are within a stone's throw and although the kitchen is small, it is briliantlly kitted out - we have our own restaurant in Scotland and so like to cook and everying we needed was there
Perfect Peace, Perfect Sunsets, Perfect dawns - the latter impotant to us as with the jet lag we are up with the sun.
We arrived tired and stressed from running a usy business in these difficult times and left like different people - worth every penny
Thank you very much and hopefully we will be back.

My husband and I were very impressed with Desert Nook. It was very private and quiet. The apartment was very clean and the pool area was beautiful. Char does an excellent job as a hostess. We are hoping to return soon.

My husband and I absolutely loved staying at Desert Nook with it's cozy and charming southwestern decor that makes you feel "at home." Located in Oro Valley it is situated in a lovely desert neighborhood at the foot of the Santa Catalina Mountains. A separate apartment located in the rear of the owners home it is completely private. We did not use the pool or hot tub so can't comment of them. Being from Michigan it took us a bit to get used to cactus as landscaping! It was nice at the end of the day to return to our own place. We enjoyed our morning coffee watching the sun come over the mountain tops. Located in a quiet neighborhood, yet easy access to highways that quickly brings you to your Tuscon location. There are several grocery store nearby (Trader Joe's was my favorite)where we would buy our own dinner ingredients to prepare at home rather than always going out to restaurants. While we did not see the owner except when we arrived and departed she is extremely gracious and kind telling us to let us know if we needed anything. As we had what we needed or it was provided in the nook we had no need to bother her. We toured all the typical Tucson sites. Our favorite being Sabino Canyon with a tram ride up the canyon and several hiking trails. The drive up Catalina Hwy to Mt.Lemmon is spectacular. Amazing drive through Saguaro National Park. (Avoid Old Tucson-waste of time and money). Pima Air and Space Museum is interesting and a bit southeast of Tucson is Tombstone. We walked the historic route in downtown Tucson. Of the local restaurants we enjoyed the Southwestern/Mexican one recommended by the owner, Cattletown Steakhouse and Saloon, and for a really great time try Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse located in Trail Dust Town-a wonderful "old west" attraction. I would definitely recommend staying at Desert Nook. You won't be sorry.
