We loved it!

My friend and I stayed here after she had surgery and it was the perfect spot for rest and healing. The animals around the property were a delight, as was the Agua Fria. I took some walks in the dry river bed and found agates and petrified wood, very cool. The Casita itself was great for two people, spacious rooms and pretty well stocked.

Perfect small cottage for our use. Lots of great hiking in the area. We enjoyed having the river and the horses in our backyard. Garrett check in on us which was appreciated. Just the "off the beaten path" location we enjoy.

We enjoyed the quietness of the area. It was situated about halfway between Sedona and Phoenix. Anthem is about 20 minutes away and has everything you would need. Garret is very easy to contact if needed.

Great Place For Our Two Week Stay with Camper Storage

We happened upon this place when looking for something north of Phoenix where there was space to park our camper (plenty of room for our 30 ft camper trailer). The guest house where we stayed is very spacious. It was nice and quiet, and the bathroom/shower was beautiful. The covered front patio area was nice to spend time outside, and we loved visiting with the friendly horse - Guinness - next door. We also checked out Rock Springs Cafe, Two Brothers Kitchen, and Chilleen's on 17 for restaurants in the area. Two items that I think it's important to share - besides the local grocery store market, the closest supermarket is about 20 minutes away in Anthem; and as far as the neighborhood around the place, the one walk that I took over my lunch break was a bit eerie. Every house has "Private Property/No Trespassing/Beware of Dog" signs - not sure if that is just the norm for the area or what.

Relax

The area is wonderful just right to de-stress. The one thing I was disappointed in was the bathroom. I live in AZ and know that we have problems with hard water but the shower was really bad. The faucet is broke and you could not get the water adjusted. There was no way to take a shower. Scolding hot water only. Cold water at the bathroom sink and kitchen sink. Needs to take care of this issue. I left early so I could go home and get a nice shower.

Our only problem was communication. I don't believe it was the hosts' fault. The message codes would frequently not work. (We were within the 15 minute limit.) Could not get the door code on check-in day until the last minute. The code was what we expected it to be. It is always the last four digits of my phone number. Should have had it days in advance.

Stayed over a Month!

Loved Staying Here! Garrett was very attentive. We stayed for over a month, and he checked in with us every week to make sure all was well. We had one issue upon our arrival, and someone was there to fix it, before we were even able to unpack. The BBQ was nice and clean, and full of propane. the bathtub was huge! There's a hide-a-bed and another couch to sleep more guests. Plenty of towels, and stocked shampoo/conditioner etc. We loved feeding the horses everyday, and exploring the area. The town is small, with a few restaurants, and a small grocery store. Major stores are only 15 minutes away, and it's centrally located to explore the state. Also there are hiking trails pretty close that will go forever! You could hear all sorts of wild animals at night, and wild cows wander the town. It's a great getaway from the city life. We literally fell in love with this little town! Hope to be back next year!! Thank you Garrett

Birthday bikinf

My husband and I stayed here for 5 days to celebrate my birthday and go mountain biking. Garrett was very responsive and the check in process was very easy. Black Canyon City was the perfect place for driving to Phoenix and driving to Sedona. We ate at Chilleen’s on 17 a couple nights - very friendly staff and great food. It’s about a mile away. Read about them on BarRescue. So fun. It was nice to be a little out in the countryside. It was quiet and we could see the stars at night. The home was clean and there was coffee and tea. The main bed was comfortable. There was a kitty who came by to visit and loved being pet. The area driving there was pretty junky - lots of junk that needs to be taken to the dump. The area smells like a barnyard and there is a horse, a cow and a steer in very small pens right behind the house. The pens are too small for them and they barely have room to turn around. I don’t know if they belong to Garrett or someone else. Overall, it was a wonderful experience - other than the animals being so close in their very small enclosures.

Rustic Solitude

The setting was very rural, which is fine, but the property isn’t maintained well- from keeping the weeds down to providing more welcoming outdoor amenities and especially the chairs by the river- they are old and shaky. However, these shortcomings are made for up by the relatively quiet and peaceful surroundings! The guest house itself needs some updating and perhaps some reorganization of the generous space. While there is room, there is no dining/kitchen table, only spots at the extended kitchen counter, with rather uncomfortable higher chairs. We couldn’t eat outside much because of the relatively cool and wet days and it was a little much for two seniors to have to dine at a high counter. Otherwise, the house was quite spacious and useful and the bed was especially comfortable! The accommodation was good for the two of us, but we wouldn’t wanted to have expected anyone else to stay with us. The best part of our stay was the view, solitude and relative privacy. The host, Garrett was very responsive when we had issues with the septic and a potential flood risk from the river- he was very accommodating and engaging. If you’re into rural, rustic nature, this is the place for you!

Our Christmas Get Away

Garrett welcomed us with our dog from the beginning of the reservation. This is a little gem tucked next to a ranch. The pictures don't do it justice. We found everything we needed already there. We both came with colds, so spent a lot of time there. Very quiet. We bought carrots for the horses & steer just outside our windows. Cotton tails running free. It's only about an hour & 15 minutes to Sedona. We plan on returning soon. Thank you Garrett!!

About the host

Husband and father of two children. Owner of an environmental consulting business and real estate investor. Traveling to new locations while experiencing the personable comforts of other Airbnb host homes has been a wonderful opportunity for our family and has inspired us to share ours as well.

Why they chose this property

This home was built by my grandparents in the 1960's. Recently renovated with modern features but retains the charm of custom southwestern vibes. Born and raised in Black Canyon City for about 20 years, this community holds a special place for me and my childhood. Most of my and my wife's family reside in this region of Arizona and is a community we visit multiple times a year. When I was able to acquire the capital, I knew I wanted to invest into keeping this property in our family. Short-term renting became appealing to be able to bring travelers into this community to boost it economically while advertising it's rural charm and convenient travel location relative to Arizona's natural scenic treasures.
