About this property

Beautiful Separate Mountain Side Casita

Escape to this amazing Casita in picturesque Carefree. Casita is totally separate from the main house and parking is a breeze. The views from Casita are world class. Enjoy both sunrises and sunsets. The low humidity here allows the skies to light up in some of the most amazing colors you will ever seen. Add the mountains into these sights and you will truly never forget them. The location of Casita is hard to beat. Scottsdale and all it has offer is nearby. The Old West town of Cave Creek is 3 miles away. The Boulders Resort and all its sporting and dining amenities are a 5 minute drive. You will love your stay here. I really am proud of this property and I absolutely love being a Host….Carefree is an amazing place. You will fall in love with it as I have….

Chris was an excellent host, casita was exactly as described, property was beautifully maintained with the entertaining back yard fully accessible. We’d come back to this area and this property again. Location is perfect for access to PHX, Carefree, and Cave Creek for hiking and such.

Cute little nice sized place with a fabulous view. The lights at night are stunning and the boulders are beautiful.The hot tub was closed for the season, but he let me know that in advance, so you may want to ask. And the pool was clean but just a little too cold for us but if it gets hit it would be perfect. I’m sure we could’ve asked him to turn on the heat, but we only stayed for one night so we didn’t bother.Nice kitchen with but no stove.

We enjoyed our stay at the casita very much. My only complaint is that "I" didn't plan on a longer stay! It was so beautiful in Carefree and the view from balcony was stunning! The property owner, Chris, was very responsive when we had questions, as well as very welcoming to his property. One last thing, we WILL be back!!
