This place would be great for a family with teenagers …lots of games set up. Beautiful front porch to have your coffee in the morning or anytime. Yard was perfect for our dog.
This was the perfect location for the family to stay at for a family wedding in Black Canyon City! The rooms were comfortable and the views spectacular. We truly had everything we needed for a fantastic weekend.
Our stay was perfect. The owner contacted us multiple times to make sure all our needs were met. The home was clean and had all essentials to use for our stay. It’s a perfect place to stay if in town for a wedding and was great central point to travel out for seeing different sights. It was quiet and beautiful environment that made it great for relaxing at the end of the day.
Garrett our host was very accommodating. Having two drip coffeemakers was wonderful for those who like leaded vs. unleaded coffee. We enjoyed sitting on the front deck in the morning and evening relaxing and the view is lovely.
Home was exactly I was described. Plenty of parking and wonderful porch views. We were lucky enough to have the river running while we were there… Grandchildren loved the indoor game room in addition to being able to check out the river.
Garrett and Bianca were very responsive. They were adding solar panels when we arrived, so the power was off. They made sure that we could access the house and notified us when they had to turn off the power. We had no issues with anything. Loved the house and its views.
Place was perfect for our stay during our daughter’s wedding at chilleens. (Only 5 mins away) We got lucky and had rain the week prior so the river was running and created a beautiful backdrop. Host Garrett was great to work with.
The house was just a described. It had plenty of room, everything was clean, extra blankets/towels, the basement was awesome for the kids to play in. Overall a great trip!

The house was absolutely beautiful.The bed was amazing.The property was peaceful.we thourally enjoyed our stay and the communication with Garrett was great
We had a wedding almost right around the corner from this place. We knew it was going to be a late night and didn’t want to drive back to the valley so we decided to book here and we were so glad we did. When one member of our party wanted to leave we were able to take them to the VRBO and get right back to the celebration. The place is clean, nicely furnished and a great location if you are staying in Black Canyon City. We were very happy with our stay and extremely happy with the location
We were in BCC to visit family. This home was close to our family and was a great place to meet. We enjoyed the game room as well as the beautiful grounds and the animals!!
Great place, quiet and clean. Very private. Even though there wasn't water running, it was fun to walk along the river bed. House was nice, game room was super fun. Everything was very, very clean and super comfortable.

About the host
Hosted by Garrett Huffman
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
Born and raised in Black Canyon City, this community holds a special place for me. Most of my family resides in this region of Arizona and is a community we return to multiple times a year. My grandparents built this home so when I was able to purchase it, I wanted to be able to share this with other travelers. Short-term renting was our opportunity to be able to afford keeping this home in our family and also help attract travelers to the community. The rural setting and natural surroundings, make this home and community an appealing opportunity for families that wish to still have the logistical conveniences of urban development near but experience the quiet and calm vibes of rural living.
What makes this property unique
Our property has 3 listings available that makes it great for larger traveling groups that want to stay together but also have their own overnight arrangements (popular for wedding guests at nearby wedding venues).
The entire property is private and bordered by a seasonal creek that encourages travelers to disconnect from the hustle of daily life. The home itself is large (2,200 sq ft) with a separate game room, and TVs in multiple rooms, that allow guests to not have to compromise on their entertainment options.
The lower nightly fee for the size of the home allows this to be an affordable experience for any traveler.
