Rustic retreat with beautiful views

I had a nice long stay at Joe’s little mountaintop farm. The views across the desert are awesome, and the cottage is a sweet little place to stay. Joe and all of his animals are very friendly and hospitable.

Unique getaway with a scenic view

The place was a great getaway from the noise of the city to the tranquility of the nature, where you get to enjoy fresh breeze, have a hill-top view, and great for stargazing at night. You get to meet and feed some chicken, ducks, geese, goats, and turkeys, which was so much fun. There are so many hiking trails nearby as well. Joe was very friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. I would definitely consider visiting again!

Phenomenal!

Joe was an amazing host with a spectacular property! He was very easy to communicate with, added special touches to make sure our dog was welcome. Everything we needed to make an amazing meal and enjoy a night by the fire overlooking a gorgeous view was readily available. I especially enjoyed meeting, feeding, & learning about the animals. A chicken even let me have 3 eggs! We’ll definitely be back! Thanks, Joe!

We were spoiled! :)

We were looking to get away and unplug this holiday and this little cottage delivered everything we were expecting plus some pleasant added surprises. Joe is such a great and friendly host and thought of everything, there are so many thoughtful details that made this stay feel so homey and comfortable. He even had supplies for our dog ready. There was nothing we were lacking. Also, have to mention the record player and the fantastic and eclectic record selection. The grounds are beautiful, and the farm animals just a few yards away became such a highlight of the trip. I fell head over heels for the sweet little calf and learned that turkeys are quite the curious little characters. Also, getting to pick FRESH eggs was such a special treat. The only complaint I have is that it was really hard to leave on the day of check out. Definitely planning on coming back!

About the host

Hosted by Joe

I am transitioning to farm life, as I develop my 2.7 and 6.8 acre neighboring properties for horses, goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, bees and rabbits. Looking to turn this historic property homes and remaining property into an aquaponics and traditional farm that is self supporting and a source of education for locals, students, guests. As well as a local source for neighboring restaurants. Watch the property come alive and evolve, as I bring the rich history of this property from late 1920's dude ranch for stars and VIPs thru the 1950's to the 1960's vacation and getaway for the Mafia...into sustainable growing ranch and farm.

Why they chose this property

The ranch is located less than 3 miles from highway 17. From here you can easily travel to all of the sites and activities that the Verde Valley has to offer, without getting stuck in the tourist traffic of Sedona. Your one exist south of Sedona, One exit north of Camp Verde, east of Cornville and Cottonwood.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the panoramic views with great sunsets. The Cottage overlooks a 40 acre ranch with cattle, that roam the area. There are goats (7 new ones born in May and April), Geese, Peking Ducks, Running Ducks, Muscovy Ducks, Turkeys, chickens and a bee hive. Fetch your own fresh eggs daily. Detach and escape your busy life with your very own animal relaxation crew...lol
