Heart of the Desert

Beautiful desert setting yet close to civilization. A homey atmosphere set among the saguaros and wildlife. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Cave Creek property. There were morning walks and peaceful relaxation on the patios at night under a full moon. We highly recommend Sarah’s casita and hope to return.

Ranch of Coolness

In Arizona, staying cool comes as a big relief and the stone floors are like a soothing welcome mat, very earthy and relaxing. 2 other things were a big help for me: washer/dryer and that bed. The bed has the wow factor going for it. I will stay again just to sink into it. I couldn’t have been happier when my dogs Shasta and Star were also welcome. They loved the stone floor too.

What a magical house!

This property is beautifully situated in Cave Creek, a nice quiet area, and a bit of an adventure to get to! I loved the house and the surrounding area. Very romantic and charming! Bedroom was gorgeous, bathrooms lovely, towels fresh and fluffy! Kitchen and living space was wonderfully open and spacious. Host was responsive and helpful in navigating to it, because GPS only gets you so far!! The perfect quiet desert getaway. 100% would love to come back and stay longer!

Cosy, comfortable and with a lovely remote feel

A really well-appointed property. Far enough away to feel secluded, yet close enough for amenities that you need. We just stayed close for a couple of nights getaway, so bought in, grilled and then relaxed on the patio. The property has everything you could need and some nice touches, such as a Brita water jug, partially stocked cupboards, full laundry facilities with detergent and a big grill. The random books scattered around also made for interesting reading for a visiting Brit e.g. Paine - Common Sense! All together, these things made for a really nice welcome, making arriving so much easier. It also meant the initial shop (grocery stores only 10 mins away) didn’t need to be enormous, as is so often the case when staying in rentals. Recommend going to property first before grocery shopping. Overall, this is a great spot to do whatever takes your fancy - solitude, hiking, go out for dinner, or any combination thereof. We’ll be back!

Desert getaway

We enjoyed our stay, and will return. There were a couple of things that need to be addressed. The shower curtain was very dirty, the bathroom sink did not drain properly , The freezer needed to be defrosted and the bed is too low to the ground. We enjoyed the quaint hideaway in the desert. It was very quiet and peaceful. Would recommend friends and family to your hideaway

We have a new refrigerator, drain and shower curtain are clean and functioning properly. We have not replaced the bed, this is a platform bed and is lower to the ground than a normal bed. Thanks again:)

Truly is a beautiful hidden desert gem!

I grew up riding horses in Cave Creek and have never felt as "in" the desert as I did at this beautiful home. We stayed here during our move back to Arizona and it felt like the most therapeutic welcome home. I saw my first roadrunner and I've lived in AZ for 30+ years! When you arrive I would definitely do a scorpion search, we found 3 (dead) ones upon arrival and with a 2 year old it was a bit stressful but it wasn't a persistent problem. This place is definitely worth it and the host was so kind and accommodating!

This one-bedroom house is charming, decorated inside and out with an artist's eye. Very comfortable bed, great shower, updated bathroom, updated kitchen, living room area with a view. Shaded patio on north side with good view of mountains as well as garden with a variety of Sonoran plants. Very central for hiking and restaurants. Just enough separation from neighboring houses.

We built this home custom 2013 on the 4 acres i grew up on as a child.. in the north Scottsdale and cave creek border. I was born and raised in Cave Creek, one of the only AZ natives. My "real" job is realtor and concierge manager so I'm take care of my guests like I would my clients and family.

Why they chose this property

My home is your home!

What makes this property unique

The huge window that opens up the living room to the majestic Black mountain will take you breath away.. sunrise or sunset you have perfect views of the desert and changing colors.. with all the shades up, you feel like you are outside whiles inside.
