We had a really great time. The pool area was very nice and secluded. It felt perfectly private and relaxing. Hot tub was a nice touch. The casita had all the amenities we needed. Town is just a couple minutes away, and there are plenty of nice places to eat.

We loved staying here! The size was perfect for the two of us and the setting and scenery was spectacular! TV worked great which was important for us to be able to watch March Madness basketball. GO BLUE! We loved all the outdoor metal flowers/animals and always seemed to spot something we hadn’t seen before. The location is centrally located and close to many amazing trails for hiking, restaurants and shopping. Katharine was a great host and always let us know when she would be stopping home. We ran out of time to go on the boat but we will definitely be back and take her up on the offer. Highly recommend staying here if you want something unique and memorable!

Wonderful setting, inspiring architecture, spectacular pool and surroundings. I hope this mid-century house and casita (where guests stay) will be preserved for future generations. We've lost too many mid-century/1970s buildings. It was a privilege staying here.

4 Stars – A Unique Desert Retreat with Incredible Views

We recently stayed at this Casita in the Cave Creek/Carefree area and had a truly memorable experience. This region is one of our favorite vacation spots, and the scenic views from the property did not disappoint—sunrises were stunning, and the patio offered a peaceful place to relax with shade in the afternoon and a nice breeze throughout the day.The Casita is well-suited for two people, with plenty of parking and a cozy layout. While the pool and hot tub are shared, we used them daily and always felt comfortable. Our host, Katherine, was thoughtful and made a clear effort to ensure our privacy, which we really appreciated. We didn’t cook during our stay (there are so many great restaurants nearby), but the Casita is equipped with a BBQ, cooktop, microwave, and a fridge stocked with helpful staples—including a welcome bottle of wine, which was a lovely touch.The property has an eclectic charm, and while the Casita is a bit dated (built in the early '70s), it was clean and functional. That said, a few updates could make the space even more comfortable and inviting.Overall, this is a peaceful and well-located retreat with character, great amenities, and a host who truly cares about her guests. A solid choice for couples looking to unwind in the desert.

Best Little Casita

I cannot say enough good things about this place and Katherine as a host! You can tell that she puts a lot of thought and effort into making this place feel so welcoming and making guests feel at home. I stayed here while I was on a trip for work and it really felt like a nice little escape. The casita is very private and has all the basic amenities you could want! Not to mention the pool and hot-tub are lovely and very well maintained. Thank you Katherine for being such a kind and welcoming host!!

Nice location

The location is great and the casita is very private and well appointed. The patio area was very private and relaxing. However the pool/hot tub being private is a little misleading since it is right outside the hosts home, which for us was a little awkward. WiFi was great in the living room but weak most other places which for work was a little frustrating. The door lock was unpredictable but luckily the neighborhood is safe so we left the patio slider unlocked so we could get in.

perfect for 1st time in arizone

we found the ultimate place for exploring the area. we were able to walk to carefree, and base camp for a couple road trips to Sedona , old Scottsdale and Goldfield ghost town (all worth the drive). Lots of good restaurants in Cave creek. Try Tonto's at the golf course.
