About the host
Hosted by Larry Fleischman and Kristi Atha
We're Larry and Kristi! We have been hosts for many years, starting with Airbnb and now VRBO, as well. In fact, we're a VRBO "Premier Host" and designated by VRBO as an "Exceptional Place to Stay." We're also an Airbnb Superhost with a 100% 5-star rating from all of our guests and the Hen House has been designated as a "Guest Favorite." We love to host! We have five adult children, a delightful little rescue dog named Willetta who loves to get to know our guests, and four chickens that give us and our guests fresh eggs almost every day. We love to travel and always stay in hosted homes and bed & breakfasts, so we know what it takes to make a guest's experience wonderful and strive to achieve it for our guests. We also love historic homes and live in the main residence on the same property which was built in 1927!
Why they chose this property
If you like historic homes and staying in a lovely, quiet, quaint community during your stay, then you'll love our historic neighborhood and all the cool homes here! Hard to believe we're only a few minutes from all the hustle and bustle happening in downtown Phoenix. The casita -- we lovingly refer to it as "The Hen House" -- is located in the backyard of our primary residence that was built in 1927. The spacious studio guest house is very private and all you're own. You'll love our lush and beautiful shared backyard complete with a citrus orchard (grapefruits, oranges, tangelos, lemons), picket-fenced raised garden bed area, chicken coop & run with four cute chickens ever (no roosters), a variety of wonderful cozy covered and uncovered sitting areas/patios and firepits, patio dining table, bbq, etc. The backyard really is gorgeous and worth staying here in and of itself. And of course you'll love the cozy and comfy casita where you'll be staying. It's a recent addition to the property and has all the amenities you'll need (including fresh eggs and fruit if you'd like). The queen bed is new and really comfy! Everyone who has stayed at the Hen House loves it, and we have more than 100 consecutive five-star reviews on Airbnb. We're here to make your stay wonderful, so don't hesitate to ask us for anything you need while you're staying here.
What makes this property unique
The casita is tastefully decorated, comfy, private, quiet, and immaculate.
It has all the amenities you'll need to make your stay comfortable and care-free.
The backyard is an enchanting oasis!
The neighborhood homes are really interesting to see, and you'll love walking around the community.

You'll make friends with our cute little dog Willetta and our four chickens.
