wonderful desert casita

Had everything we needed/wanted (kitchenette was excellent) and was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Easy drives to N AZ hikes. Hosts were gracious and communication was great. FYI the last few roads are a bit rugged, but no big deal if you take it slow.

The Casita is like a brand new high-end hotel suite. We really enjoyed sitting on the lounge chairs just outside the Casita and watching the sunset. Very secluded, great landscaping and views. Hosts were great...recommended some wonderful places to visit.

Carol was quick to respond to our questions. Quiet private spot with all of our needs met for the short amount time we spent in Arizona. All was good but we did not like the mattress because it is too soft. If clean is important then this is the perfect place.

This property was just what we were looking for! We were coming in for a wedding and wanted to be close to the wedding venue and not have to drive super far. We were a 5 min drive away which was perfect! The hosts were super nice and flexible with our unique situation. If we ever need to stay in the area again, we would be happy to be repeat guests.

This beautiful, private, fully appointed Casita, may be the best kept secret in New River. I had everything I needed. Located right off highway 17, close to shopping and civilization. I was not expecting this perfect spot in the Sonoran desert. Morning walks along the mountainous, unpaved roads, were challenging but beautiful and peaceful. A great workout. I didn’t know the desert was this beautiful. I enjoyed golden evening sunsets and deep inky black skies at night. The place is spotless. The bed is comfortable. Modern shower. The hosts were very nice, provided great hospitality, made me feel welcome. They have great pride in their little Casita. And it shows. I’m already planning my return.

Impeccable Cleanliness, Welcoming Hosts, and an Inviting Space

We had an lovely stay at this desert Casita! The place was spotless, and the hosts were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. With its high ceilings, the space felt expansive and airy. The kitchenette, though cozy, was thoughtfully-equipped and featured elegant cabinetry. The shower was generously sized and enjoyable, with lovely fixtures adding a touch of luxury. The entire space was thoughtfully decorated, creating a calming and inviting atmosphere. It truly felt like we were the very first guests to enjoy this delightful haven.
