The place was cozy with all the amenities as promised. We had a peaceful stay and enjoyed listening to the birds. The ranch has horses that are beautiful. We got a kick out of the cactus' growing out of the palm trees. Wonderful place.
We really enjoyed our stay. Absolutely beautiful place, location, & scenery.
Host's were amazing as well, quick to respond to our needs and questions.
We will be staying with them again in the future!!
Great spot with convenient location to explore Arizona and all it has to offer. Able to hit Sedona, Grand Canyon, and Saguaro from this location fairly easily. Place exactly as described.
Great property. Enjoyed the fire pit and the privacy most. Garrett was good to work with if we needed any help.

It was more than what I expected. Very clean. Nicely equipped kitchen.
Plenty of linens.
Super comfy bed and pillows.
Will definitely come back when I’m the area.
Plenty of parking if your pulling a trailer.
We had a wonderful stay. This is the third property we’ve stayed at managed by this owner. He is very easy to work with, handles issues promptly and efficiently. I would recommend staying here to anyone who wants a quiet, clean, comfortable place to stay in BCC.
My friend and I stayed here after she had surgery and it was the perfect spot for rest and healing. The animals around the property were a delight, as was the Agua Fria. I took some walks in the dry river bed and found agates and petrified wood, very cool. The Casita itself was great for two people, spacious rooms and pretty well stocked.
This property was one of the cleanest VRBO properties in which I have stayed. The pictures and descriptions are accurate and the ease of check in was wonderful. The host was most accommodating with our visit and I appreciate his service. I look forward to using his Black Canyon City properties again.
Perfect small cottage for our use. Lots of great hiking in the area. We enjoyed having the river and the horses in our backyard. Garrett check in on us which was appreciated. Just the "off the beaten path" location we enjoy.
Great place to stay Garrett is very accommodating. House was spotless. We have stayed here in the past and will hopefully stay there next year. The property is very laid back. It had all the basics for cooking. The W/D was huge. Thanks Garrett for a great stay
We enjoyed the quietness of the area. It was situated about halfway between Sedona and Phoenix. Anthem is about 20 minutes away and has everything you would need. Garret is very easy to contact if needed.
Location was good. Close to highway 17. The horses were fun to visit. We fed them carrots every morning. Owner responded quickly. Over all it was good.
Great Place For Our Two Week Stay with Camper Storage
We happened upon this place when looking for something north of Phoenix where there was space to park our camper (plenty of room for our 30 ft camper trailer). The guest house where we stayed is very spacious. It was nice and quiet, and the bathroom/shower was beautiful. The covered front patio area was nice to spend time outside, and we loved visiting with the friendly horse - Guinness - next door. We also checked out Rock Springs Cafe, Two Brothers Kitchen, and Chilleen's on 17 for restaurants in the area. Two items that I think it's important to share - besides the local grocery store market, the closest supermarket is about 20 minutes away in Anthem; and as far as the neighborhood around the place, the one walk that I took over my lunch break was a bit eerie. Every house has "Private Property/No Trespassing/Beware of Dog" signs - not sure if that is just the norm for the area or what.

The area is wonderful just right to de-stress. The one thing I was disappointed in was the bathroom. I live in AZ and know that we have problems with hard water but the shower was really bad. The faucet is broke and you could not get the water adjusted. There was no way to take a shower. Scolding hot water only. Cold water at the bathroom sink and kitchen sink. Needs to take care of this issue. I left early so I could go home and get a nice shower.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 7, 2024
During a guest’s stay, we periodically check in on the quality of their stay and overall experience. If there are ever any maintenance issues at all, we will have someone sent over immediately to resolve. Upon checking in with Rita, she responded, “Good, thank you for asking.” Then we received this review and was the first we were aware of their complaint.
Had Rita provided this feedback when we asked how they were doing, we could have told her that the shower handle has two knobs on it that can be turned. One controls the pressure, while the other controls the temp. Had they brought it up, this inconvenience could have been resolved and a positive experience delivered. We preach communication with all guests as the review system on these programs can greatly influence our ability to get booked.

Our only problem was communication. I don't believe it was the hosts' fault. The message codes would frequently not work. (We were within the 15 minute limit.)
Could not get the door code on check-in day until the last minute. The code was what we expected it to be. It is always the last four digits of my phone number. Should have had it days in advance.
