We loved this place. It was super comfortable in a beautiful spot. I would say it’s a hidden gem. It was clean and beds were comfortable. It was just my husband and myself, but would be great for 2 couples as well. The owners are friendly and nice and easy to communicate with. No issues at all. Will definitely stay here again.

Great to be back at the Casita. House was set up great for our family traveling with dogs. Location is beautiful and lends well to star gazing at night when it cools down. Views of surrounding mountains are beautiful. Pool was such a wonderful treat after riding in the heat at McDowell and Browns. The grill is always full of propane and ready to start. Steve and his wife are great hosts offering all kinds of local knowledge and hospitality. We’ll be back! Thanks for an amazing week.

Nice Casita in a Great Location

We enjoyed our stay at this casita. The location was ideal, far removed from the Phoenix/Scottsdale ratrace. The view of the Four Peaks was beautiful and the quiet and solitude was very relaxing. The casita is close to a number of excellent hiking trails in the Sonoran Desert Preserve and if you like mountain biking, horse back riding., or golfing you're in the right place.

Excellent!

Simply stated the casita was wonderful! Away from the crowds of Scottsdale & Phoenix but close enough for easy access if you want to go there. Sunrise and sunsets were amazing. The owners gave us our privacy but were immediately available to answer any questions. We made a stop at the grocery on the way in and cooked most of our meals in the kitchen, which was adequately supplied with pots, pans, dishes, utensils, etc. I have no doubt we will be back at some time in the future.

Casita view was awesome

The view of Four Peaks Mountain is so beautiful. We fell in love with the whole area. Very remote and away from traffic. The only downside was that it took about 30 minutes or more to get to anything in Scottsdale or Fountain Hills. The pool was too cool to use, but we enjoyed the hot tub. The lawn and area around the casita is well taken care of and manicured. The owners are a friendly couple who responded quickly to any issues we may have had, and even patched a tire that a screw had run though. They offered great ideas of activities to do in the area. The Sonoran Desert Preserve is nearby and has lots of trails with great views. Also, the McDowell Regional Park is nearby and both of these hiking areas are very well managed.

Not as advertised

Casita wasn’t in very good shape. Pictures didn’t represent the condition of the property. There was no key issued so I couldn’t leave my personal items in the casita when I went into town. There was no soap provided in the shower. The condition of the pool and hot tub was in bad shape and didn’t offer privacy. The driveway resembled a junk yard with multiple out of commission vehicles. Overall it wasn’t the worst place I’ve ever stayed in, but it was the worst place I’ve stayed in for the money.

A Slice of Heaven!!

This property has become known to us as "The Ranch." My folks will celebrate 67 years of marriage this year. They have had the pure and repeated pleasure of staying at Steve and Robin's place several times over the last 5 years during the early to mid-spring season...Nothing compares to the view of the mountains across the desert...watching the sun come up and the moon cycle through in its place. As the property is 2 miles back a dirt road from the main road, the setting is QUIET and lovely. This two-bedroom, one bath unit has everything you need, with a beautiful outdoor sitting area under cover with grill. The swimming pool and surrounds are shared with the owners, their family, (we had the pool to ourselves nearly the entire time except on the weekend), and their three small dogs, who will visit and bring the ball to play...or, will be kept close to home if renters are not dog enthusiasts like we are. The indoor and outdoor spaces were just right to share with local family who came over to share a swim, visit, and share a meal together. Steve provided a stepping stool with a built-in cane for my father to safely get into and out of bed. You will not find kinder, more hospitable hosts. We have already booked two weeks for next spring. Thank-you, Steve and Robin for another wonderful stay!!

Wonderful stay

We loved it here. The best thing was the relaxed environment with a terrific view of 4 Peaks and the desert environment from the patio area. I cooked quite a bit and the kitchen accommodations were reasonbly good. There is a good coffee maker but it doesn't take pods. There were only two of us (can accommodate 5) but we utilized both beds which were quite comfortable. The main bed is elevated to the degree that it wasn't easy for my short, older and somewhat physically challenged wife to get into. But we managed fine. The hosts live on the property and were kind, respectful and very helpful. We are personable people and greatly enjoyed interacting with them. On one occasion the host went way beyond expectations to help me with a car rental issue.They have 5 dogs and it was a delight for us to interact with them daily as well. This added greatly to the enjoyment of our visit. The location is terrific for many, excellent hiking facilities which we took advantage of. We were also here for spring training games which aren't convenient, certainly, to this location but, still, it worked out reasonably well. Time slows down dramatically here which was a huge blessing for us. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. We rented this property only because, being late to rent and wanting 2 weeks, this was the only property available. We're so delighted how it turned out in the end.

Owners are welcoming and very accommodating; Pool is great for all ages. We thoroughly enjoyed all 5 of their dogs, and our Great Grandson was thrilled when one of the owners took him to see the horses and their colts. Views are spectacular, and the peace and quiet are wonderful. We look forward to returning next year.
