Description of the property:
The cottage is far from the road among the oak trees and native desert vegetation. This private place is ideal for those who want a natural environment to relax and revive in. It is excellent as a retreat or place to work.
The house works well as a remote working space. It is laptop-friendly with two large tables, comfortable office chairs, and easily accessible outlets. The excellent, reliable wifi - 20 meg, is the highest speed available in the area. Streaming movies is not a problem. Many guests have used La Casita as a remote workplace in the last few years and we have rave reviews. The house has a very quiet undisturbed atmosphere that is good for focused work.
La Casita has the charm of a real home, it is vintage with an eclectic artistic flavor. The cottage is all about comfort with good seating in the sunny living room with its beautiful views of the National Forest. A compact kitchen is complete with all you need for creating simple tasty meals. For the rest, the house is LOW tech, there is a radio that receives local stations, but no TV.
There are sleeping arrangements for 2 persons. The double bed in the bedroom has a view of the sunrise shining on the mountain and the couch in the living room makes up into a comfortable full-sized bed for one person.
A special feature of the property is the beautiful large 'Butterfly Garden' with shade trees and arid plants that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Here you will want to relax in the swing or sit at the table under the trees. There are several sitting areas around the cottage with different views that offer shade or sun depending on the time of day or season. In the evening the garden is lit and becomes a magical inviting place to enjoy. Gorgeous sunsets can be seen from the house and the night skies are perfect for stargazing. Oracle is in a 'Dark Skies Zone' and from its hillside, the house overlooks the dark expansive National Forest.
The most important aspect of La Casita is the experience of quiet serenity and connection to nature. The ever-changing views of the foothills as the sun moves across them, the birds that fly in and out of the garden calling to each other, and the delicate occasional sound of the wind chimes connect one with nature. The peaceful privacy creates a unique energy that makes La Casita so special.
Birders will be happy with the many species around the bird feeder (bird food is supplied). Wildlife such as coyotes, javelinas, deer, rabbits, and bobcats come close to the house often to drink from the water station.
Oracle is a haven for hikers, there are many trails in the area that offer amazing adventures and scenery. The Oracle Ridge trailhead that goes to the top of Mt. Lemmon is five minutes walk from the house and definitely advised. Also, the Oracle State Park, 5 minutes by car, has wonderful trails that look out over the San Pedro Valley and Galiuro Mountains. Catalina State Park with spectacular lower desert scenery and trails is 20 minutes away, and much more is available in the area.
Guest Access
In addition to the house, guests are encouraged to explore the large private yard and enjoy the gardens and wooded areas that surround the house with the many different sitting areas. You will feel complete privacy and peace in all the areas.
Upon your arrival:
