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 were very happy with our stay. Chris was very pleasant to deal with and we had no issues with anything. The casita was perfect for the two of us, very clean with a beautiful bathroom and everything necessary for our four night stay. If we are ever back in the area in the future we would definitely want to stay at this casita again.
