Paca de Paja Bed & Breakfast

The husband and I took some time to ride to Tucson’s Kitt Peak Observatory and while there for the weekend we decided to stay at a local bed and breakfast called Paca de Paja and we left feeling spoiled. It was our first time staying at a B & B instead of a hotel so we were a bit nervous. But the innkeeper, Caroline, made us feel comfortable right away. Our two nights there was like home away from home.
We learned that Paca de Paja means «house of strawbale» in Spanish because that’s what the house is actually made of. It makes the home eco-​friendly and, of course, different. The natural landscape surrounding the house is breathtaking and the critters that inhabit around there are interesting, like the rock squirrels. The interior of the home is quite quaint. The décor reveals much thoughtfulness and creativity. It is a mixture of country living and native American culture. We felt like we were wrapped up with great comfort the whole time we were there.
Caroline paid attention to us as well as to the details of our stay. She provided a healthy breakfast catered to our liking and surprised us with freshly squeezed orange juice. She’s a gracious and hospitable host. Paca de Paja is an experience in itself. We planned to return as soon as we left.
It’s hard to believe that no one had Unilocaled about this place yet. I’m happy to be the first, but I can’t help thinking that I just gave up a well kept secret…
