About this property

Beautiful Separate Mountain Side Casita

Escape to this amazing Casita in picturesque Carefree. Casita is totally separate from the main house and parking is a breeze. The views from Casita are world class. Enjoy both sunrises and sunsets. The low humidity here allows the skies to light up in some of the most amazing colors you will ever seen. Add the mountains into these sights and you will truly never forget them. The location of Casita is hard to beat. Scottsdale and all it has offer is nearby. The Old West town of Cave Creek is 3 miles away. The Boulders Resort and all its sporting and dining amenities are a 5 minute drive. You will love your stay here. I really am proud of this property and I absolutely love being a Host….Carefree is an amazing place. You will fall in love with it as I have….

We enjoyed our stay at the casita very much. My only complaint is that "I" didn't plan on a longer stay! It was so beautiful in Carefree and the view from balcony was stunning! The property owner, Chris, was very responsive when we had questions, as well as very welcoming to his property. One last thing, we WILL be back!!

Desert Casita

A nice little cozy place to call home for a few days. The location i was familiar with and that did not disappoint. You have great places to eat close by and amazing hiking at your doorstep. Nice upscale neighborhood.

Quick trip, great stay

We came for a family visit and loved staying in the beautiful area near the Boulders. The unit was perfect, looked just as listed. Gorgeous bathroom. Just right for our needs. Tons of natural light—what a pleasure to wake up to desert views and birdsongs instead of traffic on Scottsdale Rd. Chris could not have been nicer.

Hidden Gem!

Everything about our stay was exceptional! Our host Chris was responsive and friendly and accommodating. The property is absolutely beautiful.The pictures don't do it an ounce of justice. Chris thought of everything as far as accommodations we might need. The pillows were fluffy and the towels were big and soft. The decor and details in the unit are stunning. The bathroom? OMG. Beautiful. The neighborhood was breathtaking too. I would love to stay here again when I return in a few months. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Thank u again Chris!
