Superb combination of comfort, seclusion & classiness."

"Tucson Citizen", Dec 2, 1999
"Three miles past the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum, a mile or so down a dirt road sits Casa Tierra, a hacienda style B & B enveloped in saguaro, ocotillo and cholla cactus.
This rustic Mexican influenced adobe offers a true desert experience with the wilderness at your fingertips. But don't think for a second that rustic feeling means anything akin to rustic living .... there is even an exercise room for the indoor fitness folks."

"... driving around the area is a visual treat.
Once you arrive at the 5 guest room all adobe inn, step into your plush robe & enjoy a cup of herbal tea on your private patio overlooking the scenic landscape.
Watch the sunset from the hot tub & when it gets dark be sure to check out the stars using the owners' telescope. Then go to sleep to the distant sound of coyotes."

"Barb wanted to retain the homes rustic feel but add a touch of elegance. In just 2 years she's reached her goal.
The home gets its rustic feel from the thick exposed adobe & the pine viga & latilla ceiling.
... in her gracious living room guests are entertained by gazing through the windows that peek out at the expanse of raw desert unwrapping around the house."

"The Desert Leaf", April, 2001
"A craggy mountain range on the Eastern horizon scatters morning sunlight and finally descends on a sprawling single story adobe structure carefully tucked among thick stands of cactus.
...all rooms have exterior patios and each faces a tiled walkway around a desert-landscaped atrium with benches, chimineas and fountains.
...a formal dining room stands out superbly against the Spanish arches and alcoves.
...a special mix of lodging, dining and ambiance that shouldn't be missed...delightfully unique."
