Casa Tierra Adobe Bed & Breakfast Inn

If you really want to get away from it all, this is the place to stay. Privacy and natural beauty with a caring host. It is close to the Desert Museum but far from everything else. David, Casa's owner and host, manages to be caring and attentive without being intrusive. I would recommend this B&B for someone who really wants to get away from it all and enjoy the quiet beauty of the desert.

This place could not have been better. David's breakfasts were amazing and the place is so nice and interesting to be in. This B&B should be called a B&B&P, Bed & Breakfast & Peace! We will return!

Heard about Casa Tierra Adobe from friends who stayed there a few years ago. It is the perfect setting for a visit to the area, quiet and out of the way but close enough to see the sites in the area. Dave is an exceptional host and the breakfasts are the best we have ever experienced at a B&B. Dave also provided wonderful recommends for dining locations. We would stay there again when returning to the area.

This had lovely location, hot tubs with plush robes available amidst desert cacti with many birds around; wonderful guests we had good connection with; attentive host; and was very very restful. Location right by desert museum and Saguaro National Forest was wonderful--could hike by day and rest with hot tub by night. Highly recommended.

Our host was easy-going, rich in information on the desert plants and animals and he provided excellent recommendations for places to dine. David set a beautiful table for breakfast and the food was fantastic! We will be returning to this wonderful B&B

A stay at the Casa Tierra Adobe Bed & Breakfast Inn has become a Christmas tradition for us. The experience is warm, inviting and cozy. Dave Malmquist always delivers a winning B&B experience...outstanding decorations and furnishings, candles throughout to put a warm glow on each evening, a" help yourself "coffee & tea bar and Dave's special and delicious breakfast. We look forward to our next stay... Ed & Julie

A simply spectacular location in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, surround by Saguarro cactuses and wildlife. Dave is the quintessential in-keeper, and his breakfasts are not only beautiful and bountiful, but incredibly delicious!

The outstanding breakfast is the icing on the cake. This only adds to my outstanding stay. The location which makes you feel you are already within the national park among saguaros is the place to get away for a couple of days.

This was a great experience - a wonderful adobe home, courtyard, furnishings, etc.And the breakfasts were nothing less than gourmet fare, artfully presented and wonderfully delicious. I will certainly use this B&B again - it is outstanding.

Just back from a stay at the Casa Tierra and cannot say enough about how wonderful it is. If you want to experience the Sonoran Desert in a setting that offers peace and intimacy with the desert at a B&B that gives attention to every detail of hospitality and excellent cuisine, thisplace is for you. We'll be back. hanks Dave! James and Sherry in Masschusetts

Our stay (in two rooms) in late March was outstanding. Everything (host, setting, breakfast, etc.) were outstanding. It is close to the west unit of Saguaro National Park, great for hiking. We would happily return. Norm in Valparaiso, Indiana

This was my 2nd time here and just as enchanting and exquisite as the first!

We found a review for Casa Tierra in a travel guide. We normally try to keep our accomodations under $200 a night, but the review sold us and we put in a request less than a week before our trip. Fortunately, it was available. From the minute we arrived, we enjoyed our stay. This place is charming, and decorated with so many neat pieces of art. Everything blends in beautifully with the outdoor surroundings. The breakfasts were something to write home about, mushroom omelets with alfredo sauce, grapefruit brulee, raspberry bread pudding. In the evening, candles are lit everywhere around the courtyard. There was no tv in the suite, but that did not bother us, there was plenty of reading materials, besides we were tired from hiking the nearby Saguaro Ntl Park, There is a common room with a computer with internet and we were able to access the wi-fi in our suite.

Casa Tierra Inn is a very nice B&B in a peaceful setting, surrounded by saguaros. The innkeeper is very friendly and his breakfast beats everything we had on our entire trip. Our room was cozy. However, the sound of the heater/air made it difficult for us to sleep. Otherwise we can only recommend Casa Tierra.

Casa Tierra was all one could hope for: The room was comfortable, earthy colors, quaint, exposed brick and southwest touches and had more amenities than usual- chocolates; fruit; water and a fridge. The common areas were beautiful but comfortable and included another well stocked fridge, coffee in 2 flavors all day long, homemade cookies and candies. Also there are 2 outdoor hot tubs we never got in but were raved about by other guests. Dave, the owner, is a magnificent breakfast chef and made us to die for southwestern breakfasts-including special gluten free breads for me. WOW! His understated and gracious manner made the vacation a pleasure. Casa Tierra is out near desert hiking and feels remote, but is in fact not far from town and several parks. We will be back!!!!

Gorgeous adobe house with amazing attention to detail in decor, comfort and service. Immersed in desert views, minutes from great hiking trails. Dave's gourmet breakfasts out of this world!

This was my first trip to Tucson. I came with a friend to hike in the local national and state parks. Casa Tierra was the perfect inn for us! It is secluded and peaceful. We loved the hacienda style of the house and the cozy southwestern style of the decorating and architecture. The food was delicious. Dave is a fantastic host. The location is great for access to the Tucson Mountain side of Saguaro National Park. I would not change a thing about the inn.

Loved it! Beautiful location! Amazing atmosphere! Wonderful care! Dave is an awesome host. Breakfast dishes extraordinary. Best get-away ever.

We had a great weekend in this B & B. It was very convenient to visit the Desert Museum and we easily drove to other attractions in the area. Our host ensured that we had everything to make our stay very comfortable with lots of extra touches such as refreshments, snacks, fresh fruit, yoghourt always available, and loads of towels/ toiletries and lots to read. He gave us excellent advice on what to visit and arranged our visit to the Karchtner caverns. The breakfasts were delicious - Dave is an excellent cook - and the desert location was wonderfully quiet and fascinating. We can wholeheartedly recommend this B & B.

Casa Tierra is out of the way, but it was a perfect location for us. When the stars came out, the patio felt like we were the only people for miles around. Tres was small, but adequate for two and very quiet - we could come and go through our patio for a private entrance. Not only were the breakfasts delicious, imaginative (French toast with prickly pear filling and syrup, green chili polenta, fritata with salsa and always a scone, biscuit or corn muffin with jelly) and more than enough to carry us through lunch, but the table was beautiful with a different setting (including different napkin rings) every day. We didn't use many of the amenities, but I perused the paper in the courtyard before breakfast, nabbed a cookie before bed, used the computer for downtown restaurant reservations and to print boarding passes and had yogurt and granola from the snack supplybefore our early departure (Dave offered to bring a breakfast tray.) Casa Tierra was minutes from my relative's home, minutes from hiking, minutes from the Desert Musuem. It's a longer haul into town or to get to the freeway for sightseeing out of town - but Los Nopales restaurant is on the way home if you've been off to the south. Look at a map, because you do have to factor in drive time to get anywhere that is not west of the city, but if you want to feel like you've wandered into an oasis in the desert with an interesting and very hospitable host, Casa Tierra would be a great choice.

Recently stayed at Casa Tierra Adobe Bed and Breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Casa Tierra is unique in that the grounds are peaceful and secluded, the breakfasts are scrumptious and the layout of the house makes you feel like you are in your own apartment. Dave provides everything you could ask for, from snacks, drinks, advice and a multi-course breakfast. Would highly recommend Casa Tierra!

This place is a magnificent hideaway in the middle of the desert. It is extremely comfortable and feels like a home away from home. Wow!

what a wonderful place to relax with a very gracious host. beautiful setting

One of the best, most unexpected B&B experiences we have ever had. Thoughtfully and carefully appointed, with every need or wish available and then some. Incredible views of the Sonoran Desert from our room and terrace and from our Host's breakfast room. Our Host? Quiet and unintrusive but always available to answer any questions, provide any information and recommendation for places to see, things to do and where to dine. And the breakfasts? The best we have ever had, anywhere. We will give this B&B our highest recommendation to our family and friends who wish to visit the Tucson/Saguaro NP area.

My husband and I spent two delightful days in this little jewel of a B&B...a peaceful location but close to both Saguaro National Park and the Desert Museum. The room was delightful with many decorative additions; a lovely patio overlooked the desert; the refrigerator was stocked with water/iced tea. There was coffee/tea for the microwave. Additional snacks both in the room and foyer. Fresh coffee was ready at 6 am for early birds. The breakfast was a feast for eye and stomach; beautifully presented in a comfortable dining room. Innkeeper Dave is running a five star establishment!

Dave your host makes you feel right at home in this pristine desert location. Nestled in the heart of the sequaro desert the privacy,veiws,and nature sounds makes this b&b a one of a kind experience. I find myself returning year after year and the breakfast cuisine Dave creates is always outstanding!
