A beautiful quiet nature filled oasis in the downtown area of Phoenix. What an amazing surprise. The casita is so nicely decorated with warmth and tastefulness which embraces one with a feeling of serenity and calmness. We had everything we needed in these delightful surroundings and even though there are plentiful restaurants around we enjoyed eating out on the patio in the garden. Larry was the best host. He helped with unloading the car and made sure everything was okay during our stay. We will stay again. This is a special find in Phoenix - so close to culture, sports, great walking areas, and the neighborhood itself is delightful being one of the designated historic areas of Phoenix.

This place is an oasis! What a lovely place! I sat outside in the patio area.to eat lunch. I spoke to the chickens everyday. I walked the neighborhood and was.just astounded at the beauty of the development. The casita is clean, bed is super comfy. They even had 3 bottles of chilled water ready for me. The bathroom is clean and towels nice a heavy. I could go on and on. Definitely my favorite VRBO to date!

Peaceful Summer Refuge

The Hen House was a lovely retreat from the scorching Phoenix weather. We had a wonderful stay in the quiet casita between our time exploring downtown. So very grateful to our hosts--and thank you, Larry, for the extra help with loading our car! We would love to be back, and we highly reccomend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful stay.
