Modern Prescott Cabin – Near Downtown & Hiking

New Features! Beginning in November 2025, step outside to your private patio and unwind beside our new propane fire pit, designed for effortless warmth and ambiance. Inside, you’ll enjoy professionally laundered linens and towels, freshly prepared for every guest—part of our commitment to a refined, hotel-quality experience in a natural setting.

We call this project Kaliva (καλύβα)—a Greek word meaning “countryside shelter” or humble retreat. It reflects our personal story: my husband is Greek, and we met many years ago in Athens. Over time, we’ve come to love the beauty and tranquility of Prescott’s high desert, and Kaliva represents the merging of these two places we hold dear.

The property blends the soulful simplicity of Greek island life with the natural ruggedness of Arizona’s boulder-strewn landscape. We’ve named the buildings Alpha (the upper guest house, and the property in this listing) and Beta (the lower guest house), and our logo is inspired by the hand-painted geometric patterns found on buildings in Chios, Greece—a tribute to heritage, craftsmanship, and slow living. We hope you feel that balance here: a space where design, nature, and meaning come together.

Kaliva Beta is a modern designer cabin just minutes from downtown Prescott. Designed by an award-winning designer, it features birch and lime plaster walls, luxe bedding, a full kitchen, and two private patios surrounded by pines and boulders. Perfect for romantic getaways, creative retreats, or remote work. Walk to the rodeo. Minutes to shops, restaurants, and trails—then return to your peaceful hideaway. Thoughtfully stocked with upscale amenities.

Guest access:
Guests have full private access to the lower building, known as "Beta," which includes the cabin, patios, and designated parking areas.

HEADS UP: To get to the cabin house, you’ll cross a metal grate walkway. It’s super sturdy and safe, but narrow or stiletto heels aren’t ideal on the grating.

You'll also have shared access to the Core (the block storage area under the lower building), where you'll find:
- Hard Kayaks
- Paddle boards
- E-bikes

The Core is clearly marked and easily accessible from the exterior of the lower building. We’ll provide all instructions for smooth entry and use.

NOTE: The amenities located in the Core are shared between both buildings and available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you'd prefer to reserve specific items in advance, we offer that option for a small fee—just let us know at the time of booking.

The front landscaping is currently unfinished. We’ve prioritized completing the interior to the highest design standards so guests can enjoy the space now, with exterior enhancements planned soon. Your comfort remains our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding as we continue to elevate the experience.
