Quiet desert beauty

Ideal spot for exploring Saguaro National Park! A nonbusy trailhead is only a mile away. The casita is comfortable with a full kitchen and a clean private hot tub. Jim is a friendly, responsive host. We enjoyed the desert landscape, birds and stars.

Desert getaway

Great place to stay amongst the saguaros. Perfect place to enjoy all the wildlife the desert has to offer. It was clean and cozy. The bed was very comfortable and the hot tub was enjoyable in the evenings and early morning. Would definitely stay here again.

Desert Beauty

This casita is situated amidst a saguaro forest nestled amongst some small peaks. It enjoys beautiful sunrises and proximity to hiking trails. It is some distance from town, but if what you are looking for the quintessential southwestern scenery, it doesn’t get much better than this!

We love El Diamante and the two nearby casitas

This was our third stay, which kind of speaks for itself. We love being so close to an amazing trailhead, away from the urban sprawl, with a cute little hot tub, and only 20 minutes from great downtown restaurants.

Wonderful views!

This was a wonderful space for my hubby and I to spend time in the outskirts of Tucson which is where we wanted to be! Nice house with wonderful views but within 30 minutes of anywhere we wanted to go in the city and easy access to the national park!

Quiet hideaway

This was as beautiful as the photograph on the listing and just the perfect place to spend our vacation. We loved the quiet area and the sightings of the local birds and animals. The casita is very comfortable and yet spacious enough for us to have some friends join us for dinner one evening. We would definitely rent this vacation home again.

Beautiful desert location

If you really enjoy being in the Sonoran Desert surrounded by towering Saguaros, then this place is for you. Yes, other casitas are nearby, but the orientation/location of this casita makes you feel isolated in the beautiful landscape. It is near fun hiking trails and the Saguaro West National Park, and still only 20 minutes’ drive to downtown Tucson. The property is clean, comfortably furnished, updated, the kitchen is well stocked, and it features fun artwork. Best of all, it’s quiet! The outdoor jacuzzi is a bonus, and so was seeing a bobcat amble by in pursuit of a rabbit (which got away). Highly recommended.

Great Stay

Fun place - just what we wanted. The casita had plenty of space for two people and beautiful dessert views. Quite idyllic. FYI - it is off the beaten path, so no quick access to restaurants and such. However, it is a perfect dessert oasis.

El Diamante

Cozy home nestled in the Tucson Mountains with amazing views. New hot tub and attentive property manager. Also, just minutes away from multiple hiking trails. If you like being outside and away from the city traffic, this is the perfect home.

Sweet little desert hideaway

Comfortable, clean, little gem away from the city. Hiking just outside the door. One mile to the Saguaro National Park. It was just what we wanted. Owners were very helpful and accommodating. Thank you!

Beautiful Desert Retreat

This was our second time to stay at Adobe Ranch. We loved this property. The Casita is charming! It is furnished nicely and kitchen is well equipped. We spent many hours sitting on the patio, enjoying the beautiful desert. It is really such a quiet, serene location. There are other casitas on the property. This is the second one we stayed in. Both were great, this one slightly larger. We will return for sure!

Perfect Hideaway

This wonderful casita is away from the bustle of Tucson and nestled at the foot of a mountain. The quiet was wonderfully restorative. We were surrounded by cactus and other flora of the desert. We enjoyed the multitude of birds in the area, particularly the Gambel's quail with many wee chicks. There were deer on the hillside and javelina crossing the road at night. After our week-long stay, we were sad to leave this wonderful location.

El Diamanté

Beautiful property with amazing views. The only issue we had was when we checked in the house was 55 degrees inside, it took about 12 hours to heat up to 70. Other than that, the house was perfect with much hiking to choose from within a few miles.

Close but feels far away

We loved this casita-both the casita itself and the location. It is perfect for a couple. The location feels very quiet and remote, and it is beautiful and peaceful sitting outside and taking in the desert and mountain views. But it is only about a mile from a really great trailhead. And it is only about 18 minutes to the restaurants on the north edge of downtown, and less than that to groceries, etc. We hope to come back.

Wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at El Diamante. The location was beautiful, with nature surrounding the house. The house was comfortable, spacious, clean, and well equipped for two. The hot tub was great- private and warm on the cool nights. An added bonus was nearby hiking. All in all a great experience!

El Diamonte

Wonderful, wonderful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at El Diamonte. The casita was beautiful, modern, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect for day trips to the surrounding area. We managed to get to the Colossal Cave, Pima Air & Space Museum, toured the Boneyard (two-week security clearance is mandatory for this tour), Karchner Caverns, Tombstone, Bisbee, Mt. Lemmon, Saguaro National Park, and the Arizona Desert Museum, all in four fun-filled days. Coming back from a day of sight seeing to El Diamonte was a dream come true. We were fortunate to have wild life visitors, too -- quail, bunnies, a roadrunner, a coyote, and a bobcat! Thanks for a great min-vacation location!

Peaceful desert experience

If you love the desert, you’ll love El Diamonte. Situated on desert property, it is peaceful, quiet—except for the sounds of birds—and offers beautiful views of the surrounding saguaro-filled hills. Although not in town it is convenient to Tucson and all of its attractions. The casita itself is private, comfortable, clean, and has everything one would need. I loved my stay here.

Great casita in beautiful location

We loved both the casita and where it was located. The immediate surrounding is beautiful with trailheads nearby so you can explore some quintessential Sonoran desert. We walked Sweetwater trail which is easy for any level hiker. The locations is only 15 minutes from downtown via I-10, which somewhat surprised us--we thought we'd be further away. The rental itself was clean and had most of what you'd need, thought I'd have liked a few more pots and pans if I was planning on cooking more. The rental agent was very responsive and helpful. All around, a great place and a great stay!
