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!!

Beautiful and eclectic property

The property is amazing with fantastic views. The pool and hot tub are outstanding. The Casita is very nice and has everything you need. Katherine is very accommodating as a host and provided all sorts of nice touches like a bottle of wine in the fridge along with other beverages. I would definitely stay there again.

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!!

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!
