Sky Gypsy
We enjoyed our stay and found the house had everything we needed! The house had a nice southwest feel, was spacious and comfortable. The property was unique and very private. The Mountain View’s were great and the big, starry sky amazing! We were very excited to see the Milky Way!! It was a short and beautiful drive to our hiking destination of Cave Creek! Great property and responsive owner. Thank you!

Amazing, isolated, beautiful place!
House was clean and well stocked. We loved having virtually no neighbors around. Beautiful desert scenery. Very close to Portal, AZ and access to tons of hiking and some easy off-roading adventures. We will definitely return to this area!

Sky Gypsy
We had a wonderful stay at the place. We were able to explore the NM bootheel and come back in the evening to a very comfortable, equipped, spacious house. The check in process is very simple, the location is perfect as it's a long distance from any neighbors. The views are stunning. I have stayed in several different rentals around southwest NM and this is by far the the best one.

Home in the high desert
The home is spacious and has comfortable beds. The kitchen was well equipped. We also liked the bright colors and art on the walls. We left a couple of items behind and Peter sent them to us promptly. Take precautions against mice getting into your vehicle. Take all food indoors. Open hood. Locals might know some other do's and don'ts

Perfect for stargazing
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was great, the night sky was amazing, and we loved exploring Portal, during the day. We'll be back for sure! There are a couple of drawers that need to be repaired (one in kitchen and one in master bath).

New Mexico
The house was comfortable, however we had some maintenance issues. Garbage disposal did not work and kitchen sink kept stopping up. Property was a little hard to find. Unfortunately for me a lot if mosquitoes in the property, so sitting outside was impossible.

Excellent Location
Everything went smoothly with this rental. Peter was very helpful when the internet was unavailable, he got a repair done while we were there. Nice property and very out-of-the-way. Pricing structure is a little confusing (1,2,3 or 4 bedrooms) but we got that figured out.

Good location for birders with dogs
Since most of the properties that cater to birders do not allow dogs, we were having difficulty finding a place to stay near Portal. This property allowed our dog and was within striking distance of Portal and Cave Creek. Depite the two days of extreme weather in AZ and NM, we were still able to get in some hikes and see some birds. The property itself is austere. Lodging is in a mobile home. The appointments are comfortable and clean and has 4 bedrooms and two baths. There are kitchen utensils, for 6 people. Bring a can opener and a decent wine bottle opener if needed. Internet was spotty the entire time. The property manager is very nice and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay despite the weather and were happy to find a place close in that allowed us to spend New Year's weekend with our furry friend!

Dark skies, mountain vistas, and roomy comfort
The property exceeded our expectations. The photos from Nov 2021 do not do it justice. The neighbors are far away and the complex was deserted with only us in the 1 house. It was very roomy, nice kitchen, comfortable beds, warm, and everything fresh and modern. Easy to find and close to Cave Creek Canyon. Nice flat area behind the house to lie out and do star gazing. Would definitely stay here again. The owner was nearby and very responsive to the few questions I sent.
