Kaliva: Where Greece Meets the High Desert

We call this project Kaliva (καλύβα)—a Greek word meaning “countryside shelter” or humble retreat. It reflects our personal story: my husband is Greek, and we met many years ago in Athens. Over time, we’ve come to love the beauty and tranquility of Prescott’s high desert, and Kaliva represents the merging of these two places we hold dear.

The property blends the soulful simplicity of Greek island life with the natural ruggedness of Arizona’s boulder-strewn landscape. We’ve named the buildings Alpha (the upper guest house, and the property in this listing) and Beta (the lower guest house), and our logo is inspired by the hand-painted geometric patterns found on buildings in Chios, Greece—a tribute to heritage, craftsmanship, and slow living. We hope you feel that balance here: a space where design, nature, and meaning come together.

If you would like to book both units simultaneously, please reach out.

Please note: The driveway is currently unfinished, but it is fully accessible and easy to park on. We’ve prioritized completing the interior to the highest design standards so guests can enjoy the space now, with exterior enhancements (including front of the property gravel and landscaping) planned soon. Your comfort remains our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding as we continue to elevate the experience.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Simmons

Host profile image
Hi! I’m Rachel—an NCIDQ-certified interior designer and Program Director of Interior Design at Scottsdale Community College. Teaching is in my blood, and design is my soul. For nearly twenty years, I’ve taught design at six different colleges and universities, always blending my love for the profession with my passion for mentoring students. Alongside teaching, I maintain an active design practice with projects ranging from intimate remodels to 20,000-square-foot custom homes, vacation rentals, and community spaces.

My design philosophy is rooted in clean lines, thoughtful details, and modern living—drawing inspiration from my time in Greece and France, while embracing the bold textures of the Arizona desert. At our Prescott retreat, Kaliva, I’ve merged European simplicity with desert modernism to create spaces that inspire rest and connection. When I’m not teaching or designing, you’ll likely find me in Prescott, at the gym, or enjoying a good happy hour—unless I’m busy defending my sofa from would-be thieves. www.design-az.com

Why they chose this property

Kaliva isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a design-led experience. Created by an award-winning interior designer, this retreat blends the minimalist beauty of Greece with the rugged charm of Prescott’s granite boulders and pines. Every detail, from the custom tadelakt bathroom to the push-latch cabinetry, has been chosen to create a calm, inspiring space.

You’ll enjoy complimentary adventure gear—e-bikes, kayaks, and paddle boards—to explore nearby Watson Lake, Gravity Trails, and miles of scenic paths. These are shared amenities among the two cabins, so available on a first-come, first-served basis, unless reserved in advance. When you’re ready for a change of pace, historic Whiskey Row is just minutes away for dining, music, and shopping.

With a private, peaceful setting, a personal connection to Greek heritage, and thoughtful touches at every turn, Kaliva offers a rare combination: luxury design, nature on your doorstep, and Prescott’s best attractions within easy reach.

A Personal Story in Every Detail
Kaliva means “countryside retreat” in Greek—a nod to our love story that began in Greece and grew in Arizona. Even our logo draws from the geometric painted buildings of Chios, weaving cultural heritage into your stay.
