We just stayed here for the second time. The host is amazing and we had a really nice time enjoying the mountains, desert landscape and surrounding wildlife. I needed some rest, and relaxing with surrounding views and the guest home we stayed in was perfect. They provided everything we could possibly want.

The Studio is fabulous - super spacious and clean, with walls decorated with stunning motorsport paintings. Those who appreciate peace and solitude, sweeping vistas, dark sky stargazing, and wildlife will love the remote location which is only 15-20 minutes from downtown Cave Creek. The hosts are warm, welcoming and quick to respond to inquiries. Check in was seamless. Many thanks to the Herrmanns for also offering a pet friendly property. The fee is very reasonable - 20 for the stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our short time at the Studio and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a quiet, comfortable place to rest and relax.

Private stay

The space was great, no oven but they have an old cooktop. Pots and pans could use an upgrade. No washer or dryer, so if you’re staying a week like we did, go to town to do laundry. We like the space, our dog did well here and we walked just up the Road to Ravens view Restaurant. You are close to all kids of trails, and great little towns. The host Susannevery kind.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Herrmann

Host profile image
Eric and Suzanne have been married for thirty five year's, have three grown children and absolutely love living in Cave Creek, Arizona. Eric grew up in Chicago Illinois. He moved to Arizona in 1978 to complete his degree in Fine Arts at Arizona State University. He is now a World Famous Motorsport Artist. Suzanne grew up in Atlanta Georgia and moved to Arizona in 1983. She is the Controller of Downtown Phoenix Inc. A non profit that serves as the concierge service for Downtown Phoenix making it a great place to live, learn, work and play.

Why they chose this property

Situated on 3 acres against the Tonto National Forest, this stunning hideaway is peaceful and secluded.

When Eric and Suzanne first met he took her on a motorcycle ride up to Tonto Hills, an old artist's community north of Cave Creek with beautiful 150 mile mountain views and 10 to 12 degrees cooler than Phoenix. Eric told Suzanne he wanted to buy property, design a home and live there one day. Fifteen years and three kids later that is exactly what they did!

The Herrmann's purchased the property in 1998 designed and built their dream home and studio in 2003. Now that the kids are grown they have plenty of room to share their beautiful property.

What makes this property unique

Located 8 miles from the Unique Western Town of Cave Creek, The Studio is hidden in the Mountains against National Forest. There is an unobstructed view of the Mountains for 150 miles. At 3600 ft. in elevation, we are 12 to 15 degrees cooler than Phoenix in the Summertime.

Close to all the Tonto National Forest has to offer, Hiking, Biking, Motorcycle & Quad Trails, Boating at Bartlett Lake, the Studio is a perfect Base Camp. Located in the Golf Mecca of the west, The Studio looks out on "The Outlaw" golf course at Desert Mountain.

The Studio is located against the Tonto National Forest,15 miles from Bartlett Lake and within walking distance of the Raven's View Wine Bar and Restaurant.
