Great desert oasis

Had a quick weekend trip to run the Black Canyon trail. Perfect location to explore this part of AZ. Very clean. Well appointed. Extra touches made it perfect to get some R&R.

Impeccable Cleanliness, Welcoming Hosts, and an Inviting Space

We had an lovely stay at this desert Casita! The place was spotless, and the hosts were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. With its high ceilings, the space felt expansive and airy. The kitchenette, though cozy, was thoughtfully-equipped and featured elegant cabinetry. The shower was generously sized and enjoyable, with lovely fixtures adding a touch of luxury. The entire space was thoughtfully decorated, creating a calming and inviting atmosphere. It truly felt like we were the very first guests to enjoy this delightful haven.

Casita and Views Both Beautiful

The Casita is like a brand new high-end hotel suite. We really enjoyed sitting on the lounge chairs just outside the Casita and watching the sunset. Very secluded, great landscaping and views. Hosts were great...recommended some wonderful places to visit.

Great quite location!

This property was just what we were looking for! We were coming in for a wedding and wanted to be close to the wedding venue and not have to drive super far. We were a 5 min drive away which was perfect! The hosts were super nice and flexible with our unique situation. If we ever need to stay in the area again, we would be happy to be repeat guests.

Quiet and Beautiful vistas

We were needing a location not far from the Ben Avery range as we were in town for a tournament. This was perfect. Set in a quiet neighborhood and such pretty scenery. Brand new construction. Nice amenities. Perfect for our stay. Good sleep. Even saw jackrabbit, quail, and coyote during our stay. The saguaros are lovely. Host helpful and responsive.

New home off the beaten path

Slightly surprised this place was off a dirt road, which turned out fine because I drove my truck. Car would be fine too if approached from the other side. Place was new in and out. Desert chic decor inside. Very cool. Pretty views from the windows and back patio. Coffee maker and coffee provided. Creamer was an added bonus. Wife and I liked this place a lot. It’s a 5 minute drive to a weekend rodeo. That was fun. Also near by other restaurants and an outlet mall.

Nice quiet casita

Carol and Jarrett are great hosts and nice people. Pictures are representative of the casita. When you arrive the casita is behind the garage. They were doing some landscaping upgrades while I was there. The AC is oversized so no worries that us cold weather people will melt in the heat. I was there for a week long event at Ben Avery sports park. The location is about 12 miles north of Ben Avery, but it only takes about 20min driving. I will likely stay here again if it is available. There is about 1/4 mile of dirt road to get to their place. There are a couple of spots with limited visibility so go slow for safety and keep the dust down for the neighbors. I don’t think people will have any problems with the road, unless your car has been significantly lowered. No 4x4 needed, I noticed a corvette in one of the neighbors garage.

Beautiful area

Carol was quick to respond to our questions. Quiet private spot with all of our needs met for the short amount time we spent in Arizona. All was good but we did not like the mattress because it is too soft. If clean is important then this is the perfect place.

wonderful desert casita

Had everything we needed/wanted (kitchenette was excellent) and was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Easy drives to N AZ hikes. Hosts were gracious and communication was great. FYI the last few roads are a bit rugged, but no big deal if you take it slow.

Very cute and clean! It’s difficult to get good driving directions to but once you’re there it’s good. No washer and dryer and the refrigerator is tiny but it’s comfortable and worked well for us. Carol is great and responds to your questions quickly.
