Heaven on Earth Retreat's Wildly Spectacular Cave Castle in the Granite Dells
Featured in magazines for its awe-inspiring architecture and national park-like location, the cozy, warm, luxurious, open, 2.5-story, the Wildly Spectacular Cave Castle features natural granite interior cliffs, a sheepskin rug in front of the glass view wood stove in the 25' tall open living room with radiant-heated wooden floors.
Enjoy awe-inspiringly wild views of cliffs and tall trees through the walls of windows including bay windows from the king, queen and inspirational writers desk. This dream getaway is perfect as a quiet personal or romantic retreat.
Heaven on Earth Retreat is located the end of a paved road next to 10,000 acres of beautiful parklands with a world class trail system just outside the door that leads to the retreat's pond, then nearby creek along the cliffs through forest and meadow canyons with caves and mini mountains to climb.
Located in the heart of the gorgeous Granite Dells, this quiet, private, spectacular Cave Castle is built of flagstone, love and towering naturally-colorful granite cliffs, creating a light, cave-like interior with spectacular panoramic views that can be enjoyed from every room and the flat rooftop too.
The Cave Castle also includes enjoyment of the flagstone patio-rimmed, shared, seasonal Solarium-Covered Pool just over the foot bridge between the lawn and pond, plus, the beautiful Clifftop Geodesic Dome above, ideal for yoga, meditation and relaxation.
This end-of-the-road location is a 3 minute drive to amazing Lake Magnificent (Watson Lake), 5 minutes to Prescott Airport (flights to LAX and DEN) and only 10 minutes to Prescott's charming downtown square.
This serene retreat is smoke free, pet free and drug-free. All of these amazing photos were taken on the premises. EV charging is available upon request at $30 for charges between 1 and 24 hours.
Guests enjoy exploring the area by hiking the many surrounding trails and exploring some of Prescott's seven beautiful lakes. Let us know if you'd like to reserve a Floating Yoga Adventure with our paddleboards and guide or join a Yoga Along the Trail Hike from the retreat through the forest to a creek, caves and mountaintop. Guests are welcome to rent the inflatable kayaks and paddleboards too.
Or, perhaps you'd like to master the art of doing absolutely nothing, napping in a hammock or lounging by the pool, enhancing your rejuvenation with a deeply relaxing in-house massage.
Welcome to your Wildly Spectacular Cave Castle at Heaven on Earth Retreat!

Thank you both the excellent review and for gracing Heaven on Earth with your special presence! Please know that you now have a home away from home here.
It’s exactly what it shows in the pictures. It looked too good to be true so I was waiting for it not to look like the brochure. It was all that and more. 10/10!
It was such a wonderful stay. They were so welcoming. We will definitely be back will recommend this place to friends and family.

Aaaw. Thank you so much! We are grateful beyond measure that you sweet folks thoroughly enjoyed the Cave Castle and Heaven on Earth Retreat experience!
My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were looking for a "break from life" & found it here. The house itself is incredible. With its inside cave walls & large windows looking out at the Granite Dells - which were right there - next to the house and in the house - it was way beyond anything we could have imagined. It was exactly what we needed.Though our days were spent hiking, jeeping and riding e-bikes (provided by Happy & Free), it was the coming home, here to our cave dwelling & the Granite Dells, that actually out-shown anything else we did.It is truly Heaven on Earth. Huge thanks to Happy & Free for sharing their oasis with us.

Happy & Free
Absolutely LOVED the Cave Castle, very unique experience altogether.Inside was beautiful & cozy. Outside...refreshing...beautiful scenery everywhere & hiking trails to explore. Will definitely be back.Hosts Happy & Free were awesome, fun & very interesting. Had a really great time!!
The property listed 2 beds, one was king and comfy the 2nd was on a platform that you hit bottom when laying down and was not comfortable to sleep on. And, it had a step down that could be a problem if you are not paying attention. You definitely need to be in shape to walk steps or the spiral staircase to reach the bedroom. It was a beautiful building and the grounds were gorgeous. They had tea and coffee, but no creamer or sweetness available. The hosts were there to greet us on arrival.
We enjoyed morning coffee with the birds, lizards and even a little bitty snake entertained us. Star gazing in the evening was relaxing after daytime hikes in the surrounding areas.

So delightful hosting you, Paul! We hope you come back soon to stay at yet another of the many elegantly adventurous accommodations here at Heaven on Earth Retreat!
We had a great overnite visit and wish we could have relaxed a couple more days there to explore the surrounding hiking trails. The home was nice and accommodations were very good.I would recommend this place to friends and family if they ever wanted to visit the Prescott area.

Happy and free are such kind people. We stayed in their Castle Cave. It was unique and extremely clean. The peacefulness of the property with all the many decks and views of the Dells was breathtaking.

We were thrilled to come across this property and the owners. It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. So close to restaurants, hikes, and shopping, but nestled away to make it seem you are off the grid.

Thank you Cynthia for your enthusiastic review. You were marvelous guests back in April of 2019. We'd love to host you again soon. We hope to see you soon. Please do include Heaven on Earth Retreat in your vacation plans for 2023.
Our stay at “Heaven on Earth” Cave Castle in Prescott was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found something special. The hosts, Happy and Free, were wonderful—friendly, welcoming, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure our stay was perfect.The property itself is simply breathtaking. The photos are beautiful, but they honestly don’t do it justice. Walking through the doors for the first time was one of those rare “goosebump” moments. Every detail of the Cave Castle is unique, thoughtfully designed, and filled with character. It truly feels like stepping into another world.The location is equally incredible. Surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of Prescott, it genuinely lives up to its name—Heaven on Earth. Whether enjoying the views, exploring the property, or simply relaxing and taking it all in, we found ourselves constantly amazed.We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals over the years, and this one ranks among the very best. If you’re considering booking, don’t hesitate. This is a true five-star experience that creates memories you’ll be talking about long after your trip is over.Thank you, Happy and Free, for sharing such an extraordinary place with us. We can’t wait to return.I respectfully ask VRBO to take another look at the one-star review on this listing. Based on our experience, it does not appear to reflect the actual quality of the property or the level of hospitality provided by the hosts. Truly a 5 star!

The rocks inside and outside the home are beyond amazing! Absolute beauty!
The Jacuzzi was great, although it would have been ideal if it would have just one step or two to get in and out.
The next time we come, we will stay more than one night.
From the courtesy guitar and piano to the quiet and private surroundings, It was totally worth the stay. Thank you!
Nice place to stay while visiting the area. We were there off season so the outdoor/lifestyle amentities were not available. The home was comfortable. Both sleeping areas are in an open loft on the second floor. The immediate area, Granite Dells, is beautiful and truly unique and worth a visit on it's own natural merits. The way the house is built into the granite face is worth a visit on it's own as well.

About the host
Hosted by Happy & Free
Otherwise known as the Love Troubadours, Happy and Free, love to host guests from around the world! As an Adventure Anthropologist, Happy lived abroad for more than a decade thus far, mostly out of a backpack, volunteering wherever she roamed. She loves to speak various languages with our treasured guests.
Happy is the Granite Dells Guide, specializing in short, fun, easy, affordable excursions in the spectacular wilderness surrounding Heaven on Earth sanctuary.
Please let us know in advance if you would like to book a private or group Easy Floating Yoga Adventure (via paddleboard) on one of Prescott's seven lakes.
Yoga Along the Trail is another favorite adventure the leads from the Wildly Spectacular Cave Castle through the meadow and forest to a creek, pond, cave and optionally up a mountaintop while enjoying various yoga poses, birds, flora, fauna and nature's beauty.
Perhaps you would like to master the art of relaxation, doing as little as possible. The hammocks and lounges scattered throughout the patios, decks and lawns are your favorite places.
Book a deeply relaxing massage in advance to enhance your rejuvenation.
We enjoy swimming the lakes and running the trails, performing, and co-creating scrumptious recipes for our little fiestas.
When not hosting guests, Happy and Free love to travel together in recent years, often in our creational vehicle (little RV) both nationally and internationally. We have traveled to about 35 countries, and feel we are just getting started.
Free is the author of several books including the Sovereign's Handbook series while Happy is the author of Uncivilized Ecstasies, New Zealand's best-selling adventure poetry book, and Bliss Conscious Communication, the first in its field. Both Happy and Free enjoy writing songs, playing music and engaging in creative art projects.
Most of all, we are at your service, deeply grateful for your future friendship (unless you prefer a quiet retreat) and your upcoming visit!
