Beautiful area

Carol was quick to respond to our questions. Quiet private spot with all of our needs met for the short amount time we spent in Arizona. All was good but we did not like the mattress because it is too soft. If clean is important then this is the perfect place.

wonderful desert casita

Had everything we needed/wanted (kitchenette was excellent) and was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Easy drives to N AZ hikes. Hosts were gracious and communication was great. FYI the last few roads are a bit rugged, but no big deal if you take it slow.

Casita and Views Both Beautiful

The Casita is like a brand new high-end hotel suite. We really enjoyed sitting on the lounge chairs just outside the Casita and watching the sunset. Very secluded, great landscaping and views. Hosts were great...recommended some wonderful places to visit.

Impeccable Cleanliness, Welcoming Hosts, and an Inviting Space

We had an lovely stay at this desert Casita! The place was spotless, and the hosts were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. With its high ceilings, the space felt expansive and airy. The kitchenette, though cozy, was thoughtfully-equipped and featured elegant cabinetry. The shower was generously sized and enjoyable, with lovely fixtures adding a touch of luxury. The entire space was thoughtfully decorated, creating a calming and inviting atmosphere. It truly felt like we were the very first guests to enjoy this delightful haven.

Very cute and clean! It’s difficult to get good driving directions to but once you’re there it’s good. No washer and dryer and the refrigerator is tiny but it’s comfortable and worked well for us. Carol is great and responds to your questions quickly.

Great quite location!

This property was just what we were looking for! We were coming in for a wedding and wanted to be close to the wedding venue and not have to drive super far. We were a 5 min drive away which was perfect! The hosts were super nice and flexible with our unique situation. If we ever need to stay in the area again, we would be happy to be repeat guests.

PROS: The room itself was clean and cozy. Property manager was great, awesome communication, and very patient. It was properly located for my needs. Would stay here again.CONS: The first one is most important and not the fault of the property owner. The property is located on an undeveloped road, and during my stay there were torrential rains and some of the road was almost washed out. Thankfully it wasn’t a problem, but the little sub compact I rented barely got the job done on some of the roads. If I had rented even a small SUV it wouldn’t have even been a concern. The wall between the casita and the owners of the property is thin. When I was in the bathroom I could hear conversation, and a loud recording of “Man On the Silver Mountain” by Rainbow. That part was actually kind of cool. A renter has no control over the climate control. It is set at 76 degrees which is fine, but the way the vents are arranged when the air conditioner comes on it blows loud and hard right down on the bed. I would have liked to have control over the fan speed.Honestly, these cons are minor in my estimation. I just wanted to be thorough in my review. As I said, I would gladly stay here again!

Quiet and Beautiful vistas

We were needing a location not far from the Ben Avery range as we were in town for a tournament. This was perfect. Set in a quiet neighborhood and such pretty scenery. Brand new construction. Nice amenities. Perfect for our stay. Good sleep. Even saw jackrabbit, quail, and coyote during our stay. The saguaros are lovely. Host helpful and responsive.

New home off the beaten path

Slightly surprised this place was off a dirt road, which turned out fine because I drove my truck. Car would be fine too if approached from the other side. Place was new in and out. Desert chic decor inside. Very cool. Pretty views from the windows and back patio. Coffee maker and coffee provided. Creamer was an added bonus. Wife and I liked this place a lot. It’s a 5 minute drive to a weekend rodeo. That was fun. Also near by other restaurants and an outlet mall.
