About this property

Charming Country Retreat Near Windmill House, Gunsite & Downtown Prescott...

Far removed, yet right where you want to be! Leave the chaos behind—yes, that means the heat, the cold, the noise, and the people! Swap the hustle and bustle of everyday life for our cozy rustic farmhouse that feels like a warm hug from nature itself.

Imagine cool nights and summer breezes beckoning you outside to witness stunning mountain views that’ll make your heart sing. As you gaze at the starry skies, breathe in the farm-fresh aromas wafting by—who knew serenity could smell so good? Take a seat on the front porch with a glass of something delightful and watch the horses, cattle, and pronghorn grazingly critique each other’s fashion sense in the open land. Or, grab that BBQ on the back porch; you're in for a treat featuring a backdrop of majestic mountains and the delightful antics of backyard chickens—who knew fowls could put on such a show?

Not a fan of feathers or fields? No problem! The interior is just as charming. Kick back, indulge in a movie marathon, binge your favorite YouTube rabbit holes, lose yourself in a riveting book, or whip up a culinary masterpiece in our fully-equipped kitchen—you can even call it a “gourmet adventure” if you want!

Perfectly nestled in peaceful Chino Valley, just 2 miles West of Route 89, you’ll find us mere minutes from epic hiking, biking paths, delightful shopping experiences, and tantalizing dining options. Feeling adventurous? Dive into all the outdoor escapades you can handle—whether it’s hiking, horseback riding, or channeling your inner cowboy at Gunsite shooting range. Trust us, there’s never a dull moment!

And let’s not forget that downtown Prescott, with its charming atmosphere, is only a quick 20-minute drive away. So, pack your bags and prepare for a serene escape—beautiful, secure, natural, and utterly relaxing!

NOTE: WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE; WE ARE IMPROVING THE EXTERIOR OF OUR HOME ONLY, SPECIFICALLY THE LANDSCAPING... This will not effect your stay as we perform the work when Guests are not present at our home.

Rest assured, the interior of our home has had some furniture additions and subtractions but still looks the same as in the pictures posted...

Great spot for a weekend getaway or longer!

Our family and extended family really enjoyed ourselves together at this property for a nice weekend away from the city. It’s a beautiful location just outside of Prescott with ALL the amenities you need in a beautiful home. The owners were beyond hospitable and made sure our needs were taken care of. I would HIGHLY recommend this spot to anyone heading to Northern Arizona. We would definitely stay here again. Oh and we LOVED the fresh eggs in the morning from the owners chicken coup - great little surprise.

At Home in Chino Valley

We are retired ranchers from Montana and this was the perfect country spot for us that gave us a milder winter and a taste of country living that we are accustomed to. The house fit every need including a well supplied kitchen and office spaces for my husband's work and my painting interests. We loved living next-door to our landlord and wife as they were completely gracious and helpful, and we left feeling that we had made new friends. I would especially recommend this property to those who love the quiet of country life. We will be back next year for sure!

Near Windmill House Wedding Venue

The owners live in the home next door. They came and introduced themselves, and extended every courtesy as if we were new neighbors. I had a dilemma on a steam iron, and the owner located and let me borrow an extension cord. Lifesaver for steaming my daughter's wedding dress! One thing to note when booking this property,checkout time is 10 AM. Property was beautiful, well-kept and well stocked with kitchen extras. Thanks so much for having us.

Perfect Choice

After a difficult year having lost my mom, had 5 surgeries from a cancer that returned and a broken neck, I needed a place where I could rest while my husband took a week of classes at Gunsight. This place was perfect. I set up my sewing studio in the office, my Bible study station on the dining table and my rest and relax place on the reclining loveseat. The bed in the master was really comfortable and the entire house was one of the best we have used for supplies and appliances. The hosts who lived next door were away most of our stay, but the only 2 times I had questions the text was answered within minutes.

Beautiful Views and Home

We enjoyed this home in Chino Valley during spring break. We were able to visit the Grand Canyon and other landmarks while we stayed. The home was well stocked for a family and was plenty of space for my wife and three kids. We enjoyed watching the chickens in the morning and the dozen eggs the owner delivered upon our arrival. Thank you for making us feel welcome!!

Wedding weekend

We had guests from IL with us for the Wedding of my granddaughter at the Windmill house in Chino Valley. I was amazed I could get such a lovely place only 6 minutes away from the venue! It was perfect and so comfortable and homey. Check in and check out we’re so easy. Loved seeing all the antelopes in the fields and of course all the chickens. One would watch me when I had the bathroom window open, lol! Thanks so much Paul and Reshel. Would return in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Paul & Reshel Simari

Host profile image
Introducing Paul Simari, affectionately known as "Prescott Paul," a dedicated REALTOR® with Real Broker in AZ. Originally from Brooklyn and raised in NJ, Paul moved west in 2016, quickly becoming a beloved community figure, thanks to his wife, Reshel, a native Arizonian.

"On October 4, 2015, I found God," Paul shares. This pivotal moment transformed his life and business direction. During visits to his mom, who settled in Arizona over 35 years ago, he felt a strong pull toward the state’s beauty and lifestyle. “I took the leap of faith, and I’ve never looked back,” he adds, citing the friendly people and stunning mountain views as his motivation.

Before becoming a REALTOR®, Paul sold ads for a small local newspaper. After hearing from agents that he would excel in real estate, he made the career switch. "My journey with God opened my heart to helping others," he explains. "Real estate became my way of making a difference."

A vital part of their lives is Windmill Ranch, where Paul and Reshel host guests in their short term rental. Their property offers clean, spacious accommodations for up to eight overnight guests. With breathtaking mountain views, it's a perfect getaway for families and couples alike.

Windmill Ranch is conveniently located near The Windmill House, Gunsite, and Downtown Prescott. With a commitment to a peaceful environment, it has received numerous 5-star reviews from satisfied guests.

Paul serves clients in Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Chino Valley, calling it a melting pot of cultures. “We have a fantastic mix of retirees and Californians seeking refuge in Prescott.

By pouring their hearts into both real estate and hospitality, Paul and Reshel have created a tranquil haven. Whether you want to list your home or plan a vacation, Paul and Reshel are eager to welcome you with warm smiles and helpful advice. Windmill Ranch awaits – a roomy retreat with breathtaking views to refresh your spirit!

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

What makes our property unique? Well, let us tell you! For starters, it’s not every day you find a sanctuary that combines unbeatable tranquility with modern amenities—think of it as a spa retreat that also has your favorite TV streaming shows. Imagine sipping a cup of coffee while gazing at stunning views, only to realize you've forgotten your socks because you were too busy enjoying the peaceful vibes. But don’t worry, you can toss a load of laundry in our large washer and dryer without missing a single episode of your binge-watching!

And speaking of fun, our outdoor space is a playground for the adventurous and the strategically inclined! Challenge your friends to a heated game of cornhole or horseshoes, and may the best player win—loser buys dinner! Plus, with our fully fenced two-acre property, you can let your inner child roam free, knowing you have privacy and space to explore.

So while Downtown Prescott offers its charm, why settle for a cozy hotel when you can have a whole retreat all to yourself? Think of us as your stylish home away from home, where leisure and laughter are just a game away! Come create unforgettable memories—who knows, perhaps they will include a legendary cornhole showdown!
