  Thank you. When you created this place, you were an artist. What a gift to make such a home. This has been a place of rest for me.

  As my wife and I rolled in from the airport past Rio Tierra's check in time Katy & John had left the light on for us and Katy met us at our car door. That evening as Katy showed us our new home for the next 10 days we were pleasantly surprised with how homey the MexiCasa really was. Not having time to stop and eat after a long flight the freshly made bread cake, coffee, cream, fresh fruit and other snack foods that were supplied in the kitchen was more than we ever expected and came in very handy for an evening snack and morning breakfast. You will not have to worry about supplies here, Katy and John have thought of it all. Seeing the place the next morning when the light of day appeared was tranquil. The landscaped property was great and gave us a nice setting to sit out on the patio to drink our coffee.

  My husband and I made reservations for a week's stay at the MexiCasa based only on the information we found on the web....and were much more than happy with our accommodations. The whole experience at Rio Tierra far exceeded our expectations. We loved every minute of our retreat there and would unconditionally recommend it to anyone looking for adventure and "off the beaten path" charm in their lodging choices. No impersonal stale motel experience here, and very affordable in comparison as well. Beautiful, natural surroundings yet conveniently located. Tasteful, charming decor with shelves stocked with practical local books and vintage magazines. Katy and John have thought of everything and supplied it in abundance. We were actually able to cook up gourmet fare in the well stocked kitchen and enjoyed restaurants when we wanted to, not because we had to. Katy's supply of organic coffee and tea and ample goodies (did I mention all the chocolate?) was a nice touch also. The adjoining Nature Conservancy sanctuary is indeed a sanctuary and we treasured it's proximity (just a few steps from your door), and would encourage travelers to take advantage of easy hiking in this spectacular environment. Truly a relaxing "home away from home" experience!

  On a recent stay in the Rancho Deluxe quarters, within the Rio Tierra Casitas, my quest for the west quickly turned to a trail of jaw dropping antiquities and collectables. Hollywood set dressers need to take a lesson from these folks, Katy and John, who can take a simple bottle cap collection and turn it into a random star studded wall somewhere and half the fun is finding it. From the fully equipped and colorful vintage kitchen, to the wavy tin-paneled shower surround, to Navajo patterns and textiles and comfy cowboy bunk bed, these two know how to tastefully create the art form of Western lodging. I enjoyed the fresh morning amenities that were provided, a long walk down by the riverside and kicked around the rustic picnic grounds and fire pit. Exploring downtown was fun too, friendly merchants and more art to love on; leather, silver, silks. Wickenburg Ace Hardware rocks and where I found wicked accessories for my Halloween costume...who would have thought? I can recommend and I will be back!

  April of 2010 my husband and I spent a long weekend here. Of the several casitas on property, we chose Rancho Deluxe, a one-bedroom casita with a cowboy theme. If you are nostalgic for the movie and TV cowboys of yesteryear, you will love this place! Throughout the living room, kitchen, bath, and bedroom are reminders of Roy and Dale, Hoppy, and Gene: framed advertisements; cowboy lamps and pillows, even a saddle! The front porch resembles the Old West town sidewalk - large plank decking, fun wooden rocking chairs, and a hithin' rail for your horses! The "bunkhouse", as our hosts like to call it, was very clean, quiet. Comfy bed, full kithcen. The hosts were very attentive to anything we needed. The back of the property borders the Hassayampa River. You can walk back to the river, borrow one of the hosts' lounge chairs, and sit by the river to read or just watch the river go by. I'd definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Wickenberg.
