VERY Difficult to Leave!

My dog and I stayed at the Stewart House Thursday - Monday during an intensive 4 day online training. It was perfect. I was able to access the Zoom meetings without incident. During breaks my dog and I were free to roam, enjoy the property and recharge. Rose and her daughter Grace were very kind, friendly and helpful. The Stewart House has a very well equipped kitchen. I only used one bedroom. It was very comfortable. Even though the temps were high outside I was comfortable inside with fan and AC unit. The living room is well stocked with games, books and tv. The fenced yard was so helpful with a "city dog." The setting IS rural as described. I loved this! It was EXACTLY what I needed. I cannot adequately express the pleasure I derived from wandering the property, kayaking on the pond by main house, swinging by Pond Cabin pond and lying in hammock outside the Stewart House. Rose was immediately responsive prior to and during my booking. She took time to answer any questions and just hang out if I needed to talk. Thank you, Rose!!

True Western Feel

The Gatehouse at Bearpaw Ranch is in a remote location. There is literally nothing for miles except ranches on high desert lands with mountains all around the horizon. The Gila River borders the ranch and you can hear it in the distance. You must come prepared with whatever food and drink you wish to consume as there is no running off to the corner store here! The nearest services are 35-40 minutes away. For us, this was perfect! The house itself is very rustic. Large bedroom with a very comfortable king bed, older but functional bathroom and kitchen. Small living room with satellite tv and a sleeping loft with ladder access. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Do know that the range/oven in the kitchen is small and requires a pilot light be lit manually if you wish to use the oven. This is awkward, but not really a problem. The wifi is slow, but for email basics, it worked fine. We had some issues with VRBO getting the booking fully set up, but the host (Rose), was wonderful to work with and got us all straightened out. We unreservedly recommend this listing and would gladly stay again.
