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.

PROS: The room itself was clean and cozy. Property manager was great, awesome communication, and very patient. It was properly located for my needs. Would stay here again.CONS: The first one is most important and not the fault of the property owner. The property is located on an undeveloped road, and during my stay there were torrential rains and some of the road was almost washed out. Thankfully it wasn’t a problem, but the little sub compact I rented barely got the job done on some of the roads. If I had rented even a small SUV it wouldn’t have even been a concern. The wall between the casita and the owners of the property is thin. When I was in the bathroom I could hear conversation, and a loud recording of “Man On the Silver Mountain” by Rainbow. That part was actually kind of cool. A renter has no control over the climate control. It is set at 76 degrees which is fine, but the way the vents are arranged when the air conditioner comes on it blows loud and hard right down on the bed. I would have liked to have control over the fan speed.Honestly, these cons are minor in my estimation. I just wanted to be thorough in my review. As I said, I would gladly stay here again!

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.

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.

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.

Nice quiet casita

Carol and Jarrett are great hosts and nice people. Pictures are representative of the casita. When you arrive the casita is behind the garage. They were doing some landscaping upgrades while I was there. The AC is oversized so no worries that us cold weather people will melt in the heat. I was there for a week long event at Ben Avery sports park. The location is about 12 miles north of Ben Avery, but it only takes about 20min driving. I will likely stay here again if it is available. There is about 1/4 mile of dirt road to get to their place. There are a couple of spots with limited visibility so go slow for safety and keep the dust down for the neighbors. I don’t think people will have any problems with the road, unless your car has been significantly lowered. No 4x4 needed, I noticed a corvette in one of the neighbors garage.
