The RANCH - Creek - Fenced Dog Yard - 2 Acres - Hot Tub

Welcome to The Ranch on the Creek. This perfectly redesigned property embodies luxury and comfort. Featuring high-end finishes throughout, it offers an inviting atmosphere. Step outside to discover 1,800 square feet of exquisite paver, complemented by a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and a hot tub that provides a stunning view of the creek. This setting serves as an exceptional venue for relaxation and quality time. We eagerly anticipate your visit to experience all that The Ranch has to offer.

**Experience Timeless Elegance at Our Historic Ranch House**

Step into a piece of history with our beautifully refinished ranch house, one of the first homes built to host cowboys in this picturesque area. Adorned with luxury finishes, this exquisite retreat features gourmet appliances, custom cabinetry, and stunning tile plank flooring throughout.

Unwind in the primary bedroom, complete with a king-sized bed and large smart TV, while additional bedrooms offer unparalleled comfort for total relaxation. Outside, indulge in multiple serene spaces: bask in the breathtaking front yard views with a fully fenced dog yard and covered patio, or gather around the fire pit in the side yard, surrounded by stunning ranch vistas.

The backyard is an entertainer's dream, featuring 1,800 square feet of pavers, a large outdoor kitchen, a propane fire table, and a spacious gazebo equipped with fans. Relax in the 7-person hot tub, nestled among 100-year-old trees overlooking the flowing creek. Explore the lower level, which leads to over 300 feet of private creek access, where the lush, green canopy transforms into a rainforest paradise in spring and summer, and a vibrant tapestry of foliage in the fall.

Escape to luxury and nature at our historic ranch house, where every detail invites you to relax and rejuvenate.

Everything!!! It’s your magical place!!!!
Other things to note
Minutes from restaurants, grocery stores and everything you need.

If you plan on bringing ATV or Side by sides please let us know. We are happy to point you in the direction of trails but it is extremely important to respect the neighbors. We would ask rides are only driven to and from the property not driven around the property. We are happy to provide more detailed information.

There MAY be a FIRE BAN in place when you are interested in coming. Please check the Tonto Forest web site for alert ban status.

No Fireworks at any time. discharge of fireworks will result in immediate eviction with no refund.

I will have a sign on the fire pit if I know there is a ban in place. But, it changes often, according to the weather, etc. I do not control the state fire ban laws. Safety is important!

This is a rural location - sounds you may hear could be horses, coyotes, dogs, cows, chickens and roosters along with farm equipment.

DOGS and wild animals: This home is next to the forest and neighbors do not always keep their dogs fenced and they are allowed to run around the area. The pets are generally friendly and RARELY come by. However, you need to be aware that I can not control the wildlife or neighbor dogs. If you decide to bring your pet, the front yard is a large fenced area but I do not recommend you allowing your dog to run around freely outside of the fenced area.

Often there will be more horse traffic than car traffic. Do not approach horses or the area ranches. The road past Sprague Ranch road is a private road. More info will be provided after booking.

Open Range: The property is located in an open range area - this means certain times of the year livestock will pass through the property. Stay clear of any livestock.

To reach The Ranch you will pass through the creek that runs through the property - it is usually shallow but during or after rain storms requires extreme caution.

Our family cabin is the first house on the street. Occasionally we will be your neighbor.

Great place and time

They took all aspects one could think of and included them. It was a short trip so we left our pups at home. While there we noticed all the items they had included for dogs to join in on the trip. We will be going back at some point and take the dogs with us for a longer stay next time.

Much needed time away

What an incredible property with wonderful scenery! It was the perfect place to decompress after the crazy holidays. It allowed us to have much needed family time. The home was beautiful and in immaculate condition. The outdoor patio was amazing with plenty of seating and outdoor grill and two different fire pits, and the views were incredible. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything you need to make dinner for a large group of people. We will definitely be going back and did I mention the beds were incredibly comfy and let’s not forget the heated bathroom floors

Magical Christmas Getaway at the Ranch

Our family had an unforgettable Christmas at the Ranch with our three children—by far our favorite holiday vacation yet! The property and home were exquisitely decorated for the season, creating a truly magical atmosphere. We spent endless hours enjoying outdoor games, swinging by the creek, and exploring scenic hiking trails, thanks to Bob’s fantastic communication and detailed recommendations. He provided us with all the information we needed to make the most of our hikes and outdoor adventures. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, with no expense or accommodation spared to make our stay comfortable and special. We are already looking forward to returning for more cherished moments together as a family. A heartfelt thank you to Bob and Kattie for making our holiday so extraordinary!

No expense or amenity spared! Beautiful home and property. The hosts take pride in their property for sure and even left a welcome note and goodie bag! Comfortable, extremely clean, beautifully designed and well stocked for all your basic needs including fun patio games and lots of seating areas. They even had plenty of balls for our pups and extra dog waste bags. Very organized, thought out and everything worked like a charm. Wish we had more time to enjoy the property. We cannot wait to go back. Thank you Bob and Kattie!
