We found the place to be modern, clean and well located to experience Arizona. I would highly recommend this place to others traveling to that area. We will visit this place again in the future.

On our trip to the desert, me and my wife stayed here on our way back from Nevada. This felt like a home away from home. It was exactly what we needed to decompress from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas. Not only did it have everything we needed to make the stay enjoyable, but the hospitality was great. I would definitely stay here again every time I visited, and even plan a trip just for this place.

The hosts went out of their way to make our stay pleasant, and were exceptionally nice and welcoming without being intrusive. The place was immaculate, and well supplied with everything we needed. They even provided welcoming munchies. The donkeys were a joy to interact with, as were the family dogs. The location was well situated in relation to numerous places of interest and hikes.

We’ve loved every visit to this wonderful property. The casita is perfectly appointed. It is our first choice for New River and I don’t anticipate that changing.

We had an amazing stay here. No detail was missed. The hosts were fabulous and we met the donkeys too. A nice touch was the walking sticks for hiking which we also did right outside the door. We felt very welocome. Definitely will be back.

The property was immaculate and very well stocked, everything we could want was available and there were even treats provided. The donkeys were adorable and friendly. We had a beautiful morning hike in the hills walking among the saguaro and other cacti. It was a beautiful place to stay.

This was by far the best rental we have ever stayed in. The attention to detail made everything so special. Bravo to the hosts! You really made our stay pleasant and relaxing. We can't wait to come back! The burros were so sweet. The area was so scenic. The trails nearby provided stunning views. Loved every minute.

We have stayed in many rentals over the years and this little desert gem stands out from the pack. It is just the right combination of remoteness (not too far from the city and suburbs) and desert vibes while still serving as a hub for day visits to area attractions. The casita is immaculately tidy and well appointed and everything you could possibly need for your stay is provided. The donkeys are friendly and extremely personable and will enjoy your attention. And finally the hosts are wonderfully welcoming and want to make sure you have everything you need to have a relaxing stay. Don’t hesitate to book this one. The description and other reviews are spot on.

Peaceful, beautiful, immaculately maintained & managed. This little casita exceeded every expectation. It was absolute perfection. You can escape the hustle/bustle yet still be close to Phoenix & all it has to offer. Well done!! This will be my go to getaway!

This was the best place! Away from it all yet close to everything. Susan and Dan were the most accommodating hosts supplying everything we needed and more. We loved watching the donkeys and having them greet us when we came home. Don’t hesitate to book this place!!

The Casita exceeded our expectations and was a great location for experiencing Arizona for the first time. We only had a few days, so the location was important. Getting there from the airport was easy and not stressful. Once there, the Casita had everything we wanted and then some.

The perfect home base for hiking, exploring and sight seeing. Everything you need is close by and there is no noise or lights from Phoenix. The host were amazing with communication and what things to go and do. The hike right outside the property was a wonderful way to end our stay there.

It was a wonderful home away from home. The owners could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They have donkeys on the property and shared with our family an experience of feeding them treats. They also had a 4 day old baby donkey! Thank you for hosting us, Ann and Jerry
