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.

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.

Great location

Great location and scenery near our conference. Did not have time to take advantage of the other amenities available onsite. The bed could use a new mattress, it was very squishy and caving in toward the center. Owner is responsive and provided little treats in the casita as well. The property has the potential to become a very popular destination stay with some more updates.

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.

Super friendly…great experience

We stayed in the casita the week we dropped off our son at ASU. We absolutely love the Carefree and Cave Creek area and this was right in the heart on Black Mountain. The views are awesome and the pool was as well! Catherine is very friendly and accommodating!!

The property is amazing with fantastic views. The pool and hot tub are outstanding. The Casita is very nice and has everything you need.

Long weekend getaway

Was impressed with the setup the moment I stepped on the property. The pool setup is amazing and the multilevel options provide even better views than exist at pool level. Perfect spot for one person or a couple. Walking distance to all things Cave Creek - particularly taking the back way to Buffalo Chip!

Had to stay longer!

The check in and checkout were so simple - communication was easy and the host was incredibly accommodating and responsive! The property itself is stunning and conveniently located for everything we had on our agenda - relaxing (do not skip the hot tub), off roading, hiking and eating good food! We loved it so much we extended our stay 3 days!! So many little touches - welcome basket, coffee and creamer, comfortable bed! Absolutely will be back!
