Owner info
Year Purchased: 2002
About the owner: I've lived all over the Great American West and previously owned a B&B in New Mexico. We're a professional lodging establishment and have been hosting guests around the West for over 15 years. In a past life as a ski bum, I also worked in the hospitality business in Sun Valley and Aspen. Collecting antiques and staging atmospheres is a passion, as well as international travel and cruising the USA in our vintage travel trailer or motorcycles. Down at the river, we trek into the forest and fill up on the abundance of nature or lose ourselves in our Moab-area red rock getaway near Canyonlands National Park in Utah.
Why the Owner Chose Morristown, AZ, USA:
Finding this river oasis in the middle of the Sonoran desert was a gift. I don't do winters, so Wickenburg hit the spot!
It was the perfect canvas to create our hand-crafted casitas and share them with others. We've honored the history of former owner LaVesta Gardner's artist colony. She lived here and gave painting and pottery classes to Wickenburg residents. She is no longer with us, but we hope you'll feel her spirit which we've nurtured with artistic designs and colorful flairs throughout our rancheria.
We live in a separate on-site residence and are here to assist guests in any way--
to visit and share stories, or leave everyone to their own private space. Meeting interesting visitors is the highlight of this business! We hope you'll find Rio Tierra a remarkable Arizona memory.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Though much of the Hassayampa River runs dry most of the time--unless it floods--we are blessed to have the sweet rippling waters run year round on The Nature Conservancy's 600-acre property behind us. Just a two-minute walk away, you can escape into the cattails, giant cottonwoods and willow trees along our private trails. Or be still and drink in the soft sounds of nature and wildlife.
We'd love to help you plan a local hike or
assist with travel plans any way we can.
Trek to the top of famed Vulture Peak and feel on top of the world! You'll get kudos for that from everyone around!
Back at base camp, we offer an outdoor pavilion to gather in, birdwatch in, BBQ in
or stargaze in.
On the flip side of life, Trader Joe's is only 25 miles away. What a perk!
