The Neighborhood:
Located on the quiet foothills of the Superstition Wilderness and designated dark sky. Homes are located on large parcels with lots of privacy and natural setting. The home is located within a mile of the Goldfield Ghost Town as well as the Superstition Lost Dutchman Museum. The house is also 2.3 miles from the Lost Dutchman State Park, 11 miles from Canyon Lake, 14 miles from Tortilla Flat, 11 miles from the Arizona Renaissance Festival and 3.7 miles from Dinosaur Mountain Golf Course.

Getting Around:
Visitors will need a vehicle as public transportation is not available and stores are not within walking distance. However, hiking trails are accessible only blocks away and bikes can be safely taken straight from the home to miles of trails.

Other Things to Note:
~ ample parking for a boat, trailer or motorhome
~ guests have access to park 1 car inside the garage
~ the hot tub is serviced every Wednesday and drained monthly. Due to desert winds, it would be normal to expect sand accumulation on outside patio furniture and on windows.
~ trash services are every Monday and Thursday. Please be mindful of recycling and trash space for the next guests.
~ please remember that this home is in the Sonoran desert and the heat and winds can be extreme at times.
~ the area borders a wilderness area with bountiful wildlife. There are predators so be aware of small dogs. The property is treated for pests monthly but you still may see the occasional creepy crawler.


RV or Trailer Parking ~ we ask that large vehicles including RV's and Trailers are parked to the right of the garage (west side) as there is a large parking area. Please do not park any vehicles on Bell Street or Morningside Drive.
