About this property

Casita

Completely Remodeled to the studs! New Kitchen Countertops, Cabinets, Wood Plank Floors, Sparkly New Bathroom, 2 Bedrooms, Laundry Room, Patio, and BBQ with Towering Elms, Aspens and Cottonwoods! The Hummingbirds and Finches love it and so will you! If booked, check out our other Properties at #883663 and a Log Cabin at #889880! 



The Serta Master Bed is firm and lofty with allergen-free pillows, pillow covers and Cotton Bedding. Leather Sofas in the Living Room and Two Rocker-Recliners add comfort for TV watching or reading. There is high-speed internet and Wi-Fi. Gorgeous Countertops are in the Kitchen and the new Pine Cabinets are filled with bakeware and serving ware. We have air conditioning for the times when the mountain air isn't enough. 



If the Casita is booked please visit our two other properties: A Sparkling Cottage #88663 and an Authentic 1 Bedroom Log Cabin - #889880. Pets are only allowed with Permission by Owner. 



Birds and wildlife visit the Casita and the property regularly so you'll see lots of hummingbirds, goldfinches, spotted towhees, white-breasted nuthatches, juniper titmice, ravens and lately a kestrel, when the ravens don't chase it away! We've just added an owl box and a bat box to the property! The javelina come through about every other night, plus we've seen a coyote and raccoons. 



We are located 1.6 miles from downtown in a neighborhood down a long lane on 1.25 acres. There is a meadow and Miller Creek, when it is running. Fry's grocery store is a couple blocks away. We are licensed, inspected and compliant with the City. We have fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors and a first aid kit. Prescott has a Noise Ordinance from 10pm to 8am.

Everything in the house was nice. We didn't like or realize it was so close to the road with lots of traffic. We were not left alone to enjoy the place to ourselves and there was no yard for our dogs (which we did know) but it still made the stay difficult for us.Other than that it was nice!

Hosts were great. Attentive and friendly. The place was clean, comfortable (the bed was very co. Great mattress and comfy sheets. Best of any VRBO so far. Not a complaint just a note for anyone tall or big is the space between the walls and the bed is very tight. Shower was hot and powerful. Patio and garden was nice. Kitchen was well equipped. Would recommend staying here. Enjoyed it

Fantastic stay, owners great at thinking about the little things

Stayed with my partner and our dog. Owners did a great job communicating with us on check-in procedure and and went above and beyond with local hiking and food recommendations (food was incredible!). The cabin was cozy and we were impressed with the owners considerations of the small details. Would definitely visit again!

We were delighted with the cottage for our 7 day stay in Sept. The description in the listing lives up to everything we found while there. Obvious quality in everything from furniture, linens, décor, and grounds. You can tell Dave has experience as a bldg contractor! Grounds are well lit at night and shaded by day. Creek is nice but seasonal. Easy access to downtown Prescott. Frys grocery close by. Cabin is well insulated from street noise and even the Yavapai County Fair nearby did not distrub us. Great hosts. Great value. Pet friendly. Already reserved our next trip!

Perfect location near downtown Prescott

We were in Prescott for my youngest child’s college graduation. And the casita was just right for us. It was close to everything we needed to get to, had all the confits of home and so many thoughtful special details to make our stay extra comfortable. We loved every day we got to spend there and would highly recommend a stay at Karen and Dave’s quiet little oasis near the town center.

About the host

Hosted by Dave Rueb and Karen Hunt

Host profile image
We purchased the property in 2016 with the help of the previous owners who'd owned it for nearly 40 years! Dave and I are both in Housing: Construction and Sales. With both of us self-employed in the housing industry we lost about everything (except each other!) in the crash. After business losses, bankruptcy, IRS audit, short sale and deaths in the family, we moved to Prescott, nearly on a whim. We rented from another couple we just met who believed in us and loaned us the down payment for this parcel of land. We started thinking about the possibilities of such a cute property and did a little work on the Log Cabin but tried to keep it mostly intact, even with its funky fixes by other owners and tenants. We renovated the Cottage down the lane in a big way (#883663), opening the floor plan and adding a garden.
The Log Cabin appears to have been owned (and possibly built) by a man who was a piano tuner and salesman. His wife worked as a bookkeeper for an attorney. They had one daughter who eventually taught dance in Los Angeles but returned to Prescott to care for her father in his last days and bury him in the local cemetery next to his wife (researched at Sharlot Hall Museum).
Thank you for choosing us. Let us know how we can make the property and your experience even better. We started this as our primary business after suffering many losses. We want a successful business and happy, satisfied guests! Blessings to you!
Karen and Dave

Why they chose this property

We really liked the location near the Fairgrounds and Downtown (but not too close) and the seasonal creek. With all the large elms, locusts and cottonwoods, we knew we wanted to preserve and improve upon this little park-like setting. The owners were thrilled with our vision and were finally able to part with it, knowing we would be good stewards to the land and the creek which adds to the water supply in Prescott.

What makes this property unique

Dave had a great vision for the Casita and did most of the work himself. It was a long, expensive haul! We originally thought we would decorate it in a Mexican motif. My vision came later with a Native American theme to honor the indigenous people of the West. We enjoyed furnishing meeting people and buying from their personal collections and from auctions, antique stores, yard sales, thrift stores and estate sales. It's so wonderful to see so many works of art, antiques and collectibles and remember the people and stories that go with them. It's been heartwarming, magical and humbling to repurpose someone else's beloved or handmade items!
