The 'Mud House' is a historic gem crafted by renowned architect Joesler using traditional burnt adobe construction. This charming home features a spacious two-bedroom, one-bath layout that showcases unique architectural elements like graceful arches, original hardwood floors, and lofted ceilings. The primary bedroom includes a king bed, while the second bedroom has a queen bed, comfortably accommodating up to four guests.
The interior highlights hand-carved Mexican wood furniture and striking desert-inspired art throughout. Multiple patios invite you to soak in the Tucson climate, while the backyard presents unique amenities, including a basketball court, a private yoga studio (fully equipped with mats and props) for moments of tranquility, and a meditative rock labyrinth for spiritual reflection. For those seeking deeper wellness experiences, optional yoga classes, tea ceremonies, and reiki healing sessions are available through our local host.
Modern conveniences include strong WiFi, a brand-new 70-inch smart TV, and an Alexa-enabled speaker in the living room. The well-equipped kitchen retains its historic character while providing all essential cooking needs. The home's authentic charm extends to its original bathroom. As with many historic properties, the plumbing system requires gentle care.

I am a Tucson native and love to support my guests. I live just around the corner, so if you need anything, I am only a few minutes away. My mom, Laurie, is a co-host. She is also available if needed.Please note that out of respect for our neighbors, this is not a party house.
