My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at La Roca. We loved the Southwest style of the casita, especially the fireplaces in the living room and bedroom. In the evenings when temperatures dipped into the thirties, it was great to light a fire in the fireplace, curl up on the sofa with a glass of wine, and watch Netflix. My husband and I currently live in the city, but we grew up in the country. My husband kept remarking on the quiet here and how much he liked it. Even though we were only a few minutes away from Tucson, it felt like we were nestled in a remote canyon. The casita is a minute's drive from El Camino de Cerro trailhead into Saguaro National Park and a two minute's drive from Sweetwater Preserve. My husband and I went hiking every morning, alternating between the two locations. Both places offer spectacular views and lots of statuesque saguaros. The kitchen has newer, full-size appliances, making meal prep a breeze. It's also the only place I've ever stayed that had an unscratched nonstick pan. We grilled steaks and pork chops on the outside grill. Inside we roasted chicken, sautéed scallops, and fried and scrambled eggs. The only drawback was the sagging mattress, which meant nights of fitful sleep. The sagging mattress is the reason for the 4-star rating. Otherwise it was 5-star all the way.
