Peace in the Desert

This private casita is large and well-equipped for a week (or more) stay. Frederika is a wonderful host. Very responsive and not intrusive. This location is not close to anything (except the Saguaro Corners restaurant and the entrance to the Saguaro Park - East), but that's what you're looking for -- a quiet, isolated, peaceful spot at the edge of the desert.

Review of property 2504493

Frederica is a most welcoming host, so friendly, accessible and accommodating. The casita and setting is absolutely the best we have found. The casita is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything one could need, so cozy, the deck situated perfectly for bird watching, sunsets, and any desert critters that may pass by - we missed the javelina but did see (within just a few feet of the deck) and hear coyotes in the evenings. We will plan to see the javelina on our next visit, for we will surely return. Thank you, Frederica, for a perfectly relaxing and peaceful stay.

Great Getaway

Mu husband and I spent 2 nights in the Dragonfly Casita which was very comfortable with fantastic mountain views! We even saw some of the local wildlife right from the back porch. Frederika, the host has really set-up a very welcoming environment with everything you could possible need including complimentary drinks. We will definitely be back! Thank you Frederika for a fantastic experience!

Exactly what we were looking for!!

We are so glad to have found Dragonfly Casita in Tucson!! It was terrific! We needed a spot for my husband and I as we were in town for a friend's retirement party. For us it was perfectly located to both where the party was as well as where my husband needed to go for work while we were there. It is a lovely view of the mountains and wildlife would make it's appearance. We sat on the little back patio and had our coffee/tea a couple of mornings. Fredrika was an awesome host! She even left us a plate of cookies and there were some drinks in the fridge and ice in the freezer! Pots and pans, though not very many, were fine for what we needed and they were stainless steel which I greatly appreciated! She has done such a terrific job of making this place outstanding! We will definitely stay there again if we're going to be that way!! Thank you so much Frederika!!!

Great place for exploring Saguaro NP (east)

This is an excellent location for exploring the national park, it is literally only a couple minutes away from the park entrance! This place is very clean, everything seems almost brand new, and the property is very nice. Importantly for such a hot location as Tucson: the AC units are very powerful! The hosts lived on the property and are right there for your needs; Fredericka was right there to show the unit & she was quick to respond to emails and texts. This is a very quiet and peaceful location. There was a great variety of birds visiting the feeders outside the patio every morning. I had a great stay and would book this place in a minute if I come back to the area! It really is even nicer in person than in the photos!

Dragonfly Casita Comforts

Wonderful stay in this delightful casita. I don't think I have felt more at home while on vacation! Frederika thought of everything to make our week long stay special: welcome flowers, plenty of snacks, a stock of water bottles which you need in that dry, hot climate. Plenty of privacy meant you never felt you were intruding on the homeowner's property. Lots of local wildlife too. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Dragonfly Casita

The Dragonfly Casita is at the eastern edge of the Sonoran Desert east of Tucson. The Casita is very comfortable with a bedroom and a living area that includes kitchen, dining and living areas including a fireplace. The interior is nicely decorated keeping with the Southwestern style of the property. A large double glass door provides a view of the bird feeders and the mountains. A big part of the enjoyment of the Casita is the people that own it. While you do not feel like they are hovering over you, they are available to help make your stay a pleasure. My wife and I will return to the Dragonfly Casita next year.

Exceeded Expectations!

Our stay at the Dragonfly Casita was the highlight of our trip! Frederika and Arie are wonderful hosts and have done an outstanding job with their guest house. There were so many thoughtful touches to the property that made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The location could not be better with the Saguaro National Park just down the street as well as a great Bar and Grill that Frederika recommended. We enjoyed seeing hummingbirds and coyotes with our morning coffee. This is a gem that will not disappoint!

Classic Desert Casita combined with Classic European Hospitality

It was an honor to be among the first guests to stay at the Dragonfly Casita. Inside and out it is truly one of the most comfortable places we have ever stayed. The tile floors, kiva, fluffy king bed, walk in shower and outdoor patio and back deck create a sense of calm comfort. The special European touches and warmth provided by the hosts ensure this is a special place that will amaze all guests. Book it if you can.

Frederika hat eine wunderschöne Wohnung in der wir uns sehr Wohlgefühlt haben. Die Wohnung hat alles was man braucht und mehr! Wir waren schon in vielen Wohnungen aber keine war wie diese. Wir wären gerne viel länger geblieben! Frederika war eine perfekte Gastgeberin und sehr sympathisch.
