Awesome Stay!
The Cozy Casita in Cave Creek was the best! We called it our "home base" for 2 weeks and it felt like a home away from home. Sheri, our host, was absolutely fabulous! We loved the casita and the entire property. We enjoyed all the property had to offer: The beautiful pool and the variety of different seating areas on the property where we enjoyed the sun, shade, nature and the beautifully decorated surroundings. We plan to come back again to this very special place. Thank you again Sheri!!

Delightful casita in good location
This was a charming home. The beautiful yard that was ours to use was wonderful to relax in at the end of each day. And the balcony off the 2nd floor bedroom was a perfect place to have a second cup of coffee. The kitchen was a bit small. We used the outside grill most nights.

Beautiful Desert Oasis
Our stay was great. The place was very comfortable and just as described. The upstairs terrace has a great view of desert and mountains. The property was landscaped beautifully. Really enjoyed sitting in the garden in the morning sun drinking coffee. Sheri was a great host. She provided many thoughtful goodies and was easy to communicate with. Hope to visit again.

Beautiful Oasis Getaway
The property was very pretty with flowers and lights. Shari, the host, was very accomodating with anything we needed. Place was clean and we had coffee and water. Shari even had a bottle of wine and cheese tray for us to snack on. Great place to stay as it was beautiful and roomy.

Adorable Modern Spanish Casita - Extreme North Phoenix
This accommodation was a dream come true. The property itself is in a fantastic location for quick and easy access to all of North Phoenix, Carefree and all of Scottsdale. The desert mountain views from the upstairs bedroom balcony are fantastic. The casita itself is modern, nicely furnished, and a perfect getaway for couples. In addition, the property owner is absolutely great: courteous, kind, gracious, friendly, helpful, attentive and truly concerned about guests fully enjoying their stay. Plus, there are friendly horses on the property that would just love for you to feed them carrots and apples, and to pet them! And, the property owner is soon to add a spa! In fact, we were the first customers to partake of the professional spa/massage service and it was absolutely DIVINE! We just can not say enough good things about this property and its owner. Such a wonderful experience!
This was a fantastic accommodation. The property owner was fabulous; kind, courteous, helpful, attentive, gracious. The property itself is perfect for couples. The casita is nicely furnished, modern and in great condition. As to location, it couldn't have been in a better place for quick/easy access to North Phoenix and Scottsdale. In addition, the property owner is soon to add a spa. In fact, we were the first customers of this new feature and it was divine!

Touchdown in the Desert
We came for a Super Bowl win and left with a VRBO win too!
What a lovely place to stay in the AZ desert. Upon arrival to the beautiful Mystic Ranch we were greeted with a bottle of wine and a cheese/fruit platter. We stayed at the “Casita”, a romantic town house with a balcony and access to a most pretty courtyard with a fire pit and outdoor kitchen. The view of Cave Creek Park with its massive saguaros and mountains is breathtaking. The hostess was very considerate and strived to make our stay perfect. The coffee bar and stocked kitchenette made for a great start to our stay. The insert fireplace upstairs and down made for a cozy and romantic evening. The bathroom is downstairs while the bedroom is up, so you’ll definitely get your steps in. The hostess is on property but gave us our privacy, we saw her upon arrival and departure only. Now, if we needed anything she was only a call away.
Mystic Ranch is the perfect staging for a visit to Arizona!

The property was off the beaten path, but we like that. Sheri was very attentive and the snacks were great. The kitchen was a bit limited, but we managed.
