This place is an oasis! What a lovely place! I sat outside in the patio area.to eat lunch. I spoke to the chickens everyday. I walked the neighborhood and was.just astounded at the beauty of the development. The casita is clean, bed is super comfy. They even had 3 bottles of chilled water ready for me. The bathroom is clean and towels nice a heavy. I could go on and on. Definitely my favorite VRBO to date!

Peaceful Summer Refuge

The Hen House was a lovely retreat from the scorching Phoenix weather. We had a wonderful stay in the quiet casita between our time exploring downtown. So very grateful to our hosts--and thank you, Larry, for the extra help with loading our car! We would love to be back, and we highly reccomend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful stay.

Very cozy clean sweet little cottage nestled in a beautiful garden in the historic district of downtown Phoenix. Casita has everything we needed and we had a wonderful time. We loved the convenient location of being downtown.
