Check in was wonderful and a perfect place to call home away from home. Sandy was excellent and so friendly. I loved staying here. The horses were so nice to go see every morning. The location of this home was perfect for your morning coffee to watch the sunrise. I would defiantly stay here again.

Peaceful and quiet under desert skies

The casita was perfect for us. We really appreciated how welcome we felt. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The peace and quiet of the countryside was so relaxing after long days of work at the shooting match at Ben Avery.

Cozy, Comfortable, and Relaxing

This was our second time staying at this casita. It is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. We enjoyed walking around the property and visiting the horses every morning and afternoon. We were welcomed with a lovely package of wine and snacks upon arrival. The hosts are welcoming, responsive, and always helpful. The location is peaceful but also within a short driving distance to good restaurants, coffee shops, stores. Getting to local attractions, including places in Central Phoenix (e.g., Heard Museum, Phoenix Art Museum, Melrose District) was also easy and smooth. We really love this spot and look forward to returning again!

Quaint

The property is easy to find and right in the midst of a working horse ranch. The Casita was clean, well appointed and ready to call "home" for the weekend. Was met by one of the folks on property as well the small dog everyone raves about. Witnessed some roping practice from the outdoor seating area. The dog definitely has the upper hand on the cattle! Everything you need for a wonderful get-a-way.

Great location for a base camp, to explore the Cave Creek area, with comfy bed and couch plus a full bath. Surrounded by ranch properties and natural landscape it’s a nice place to relax after your hike or ride.

The casita was clean, cozy, and in a quiet area. The hosts were communicative and had treats and a welcome note for us when we arrived. The only thing that was a little challenging was the dirt road. It had multiple potholes.

Awesome Horse Property

Absolutely loved our Casita. It was perfect for my husband and I while vending for a week in Cave Creek. Marley, the dog, was super sweet. Enjoyed her occasional visits. There were muffins, a bottle of wine and other goodies waiting for us when we arrived. Would definitely stay there again.
