Beautiful Getaway!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay in this hidden gem! Leigh and Franck are the absolute best hosts and it shows in their property. The outdoor area has everything that you need to enjoy coffee, grilling or cocktails on the porch with breathtaking views and the sounds of nature. We looked forward to listening to the coyotes howling at sunset (which we named our Sunset Serenade). The inside was clean, cozy and well cared for, and all of the essentials were provided. We appreciated the large bathroom and the bed was extremely comfortable! If you enjoy hiking, the Tonto National Forest is walking distance from the residence and provides even more exceptional views! If you are looking for a little getaway away from hustle and bustle then we highly recommended that you book here!

Relax Away from it All

This lovely home is definitely located in the remote, peaceful, and beautiful mountain foothills. The sunrises and sunsets are fabulous from the patio. Although time did not permit us to do any hiking on the nearby trails during this trip, this would be the place from which to explore the countless trails. Our hosts (Leigh and Franck) became instant friends. They are very helpful/knowledgeable about the area, plus they provide even more than is needed to have a comfortable stay in their cozy guest wing...even an exceptional king size bed! We bonded over our mutual love of music, travel and former business careers. They are the perfect hosts...you will not be disappointed!

Full moon over the desert

I had a fabulous stay at this property. Leah and Franck were wonderful hosts. I arrived late and Leah met me on the road to show me the way to her lovely home. Everything was as described and I felt totally at home. The home was well stocked and very clean. Plush towels and the bed was super comfy. If I had forgotten anything I would have found it stocked here. I loved all the maps and information they provided for hiking and about the local area. I hope to return for a longer visit.

A Hidden Gem!!

This rental is a hidden Gem!! The hosts were amazing. Very accommodating and supplied us with everything we could have possibly needed had we forgotten anything back home. Bed and pillows were very comfortable, which is kind of a big deal for me. They checked in to see if we needed anything else but was never a bother, the weather was cold so they even checked to see that the temp in our place was to our liking. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous! Most amazing sunrises and sunsets. We live in the city so this was a perfect change of scenery for us. I would absolutely recommend staying here. It was perfect for us 3. Could accommodate 4 comfortably. We will def be back next year! Thanks Leigh and Franck for an incredible vacation!

A perfect stay

We returned to this piece of heaven for the second time. Leigh and Franck are wonderful hosts. This is a perfect location for us on the edge of the Tonto National Forest. It was close to my conference in Scottsdale, and a perfect retreat to come back to after a long day. Beautiful hiking just footsteps away, and a wonderful private apartment on this beautiful property. But the best part for us is Leigh and Franck - absolutely wonderful people.

Home Away from Home

We had a wonderful stay in the Rio Verde foothills! The views of the mountains were stunning, and Leigh and Franck were so accommodating! We felt at home the moment we arrived and were warmly welcomed. When we entered the property, it was immediately evident that Leigh and Franck had taken great care to consider every detail to ensure that their guests have a wonderful stay. The guest house was clean, cozy, and well cared for. Items were labeled and easy to locate. We appreciated having all the amenities of a full kitchen in addition to the patio grill area. We enjoyed spending time on the patio listening to the birds and taking in the ever-changing splendor of the mountain views, sunrise, and sunset. The neighborhood was incredibly quiet and peaceful. The Tonto National Forest was a short walk from their house, and we loved exploring the trails. We look forward to future opportunities to stay with Leigh and Franck.

Rio Verde Foothills - Miles of Trails.

We could not be more pleased with our accommodations with Leigh and Franck. There was a wonderful bedroom and bath. A breakfast nook, stocked with more conveniences than we have at home. There is an additional utility room in which you cook, with the washer, dryer and sink. It all worked well together. The Wi-Fi internet worked great and we were able to conduct business and remote meetings. The location is about 7 to 10 minutes down an unpaved road to the highway. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. Lots of little creatures while enjoying our morning coffee on the back porch. We chose this location because of its proximity to local mountain riding venues. We enjoyed Brown's Ranch and Pima Dynamite trailheads. Endless miles of rolling single track, with minimal climbing. We never got to McDowell Regional Park and the Pemberton Trail Loop.

We very much enjoyed our stay! I hiked in the mornings across the street on the hiking trail which was so nice to not have to drive somewhere. Leigh and Franck were very friendly and gave spot on tips for additional hiking, restaurants, and nearby attractions. The patio is beautiful - the patio itself and the scenery - so peaceful. The lodging had everything we needed - very well equipped and comfortable bed! Hope to get back sometime. Highly recommend for a relaxing escape!

Relaxation in the mountains

Leigh and Franck were really fantastic hosts. it was a fantastic property but their hospitality really made it worth staying. My husband and I were house hunting in the Phoenix area and coming back to our VRBO after a long day was such a treat. We had long conversations with the hosts and deemed so much knowledge about the area from them. We would definitely stay here again but more importantly we have met some great friends.
