We had a wonderful stay at Tara ('Los Pinos de la Paz')! The cabin is cozy, rich in history, and truly lives up to its name as a peaceful escape—the perfect place to relax and beat the hot Phoenix heat.
The hosts were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful. I loved all the little notes with helpful rules and directions around the home, as well as the generous supplies—the kitchen had everything we needed, including plenty of Tupperware, paper towels, and toilet paper. There was bird seed to feed the local birds, board games stocked for relaxing evenings, and a wonderful playhouse for kids (too bad ours are all grown up!).
Outdoors, we spent so much quality time with family—exploring the surrounding area, going on hikes, and sitting together out on the wrap-around porch, swing, and hammock.
What really made this property stand out from others was how exceptionally dog-friendly it is. Having a fully enclosed space with a ramp for the dogs made traveling with our fur babies completely stress-free, giving us a safe, secure place for them to enjoy the forest right along with us. You can really feel how much love has gone into this family home over the years. We couldn't have asked for a better getaway and would love to return!
