One of the best properties near Cave Creek!

We have done a good few handful of VRBO stays, and DJs property is one of our top picks! The teenagers enjoyed the pool table and darts, we were only 10-15min from anything we wanted to do/see. DJ is a great hostess!! Would highly recommend this property!! Thank you again DJ!

Outstanding stay and accommodations

Rented the property for my 29 yo son and his colleague who were visiting from Seattle for the holidays. I picked up the keys the day before and got a tour of the place. Gorgeous Place with a large master Bedroom and fully decked out kitchen. The game room area with the pool table came in handy with the rainy weather. We will definitely book again.

Love, love, love this place.

Everything about this property was perfect. My friend and I loved the house. Our horses stayed in safe spacious covered runs. My German Shepherd guarded the house against a herd of wild rabbits. The wild life was amazing. The best part was our land lord and all of the neighbors. We honestly did not want to leave so we booked another month for next year.

This property was beautiful and DJ was very welcoming. The only note would be that the access to the bathroom is through the master bedroom. We came with friends and it was a bit awkward at first but we made it work. At any rate, I would stay here again! Thank you DJ!

Awesome secluded property

This property is very secluded which is awesome if you want to get away from the noise and hassle of the city. We really enjoyed everything that was there, the pool table, the dining room, the large kitchen. We couldn't figure the TV out but that's because we're technologically challenged. We loved the coffee grinder that makes perfect coffee! Property has awesome washer/dryer. DJ was awesome and let us do our thing!

Annual trip. Competition shoot at Ben Avery.

This home was the best, beautiful, clean and comfortable. Peace and quiet, from the typical city noise. Accessibility from the main interstate in several directions is convenient and worth the few extra miles. We travel often and appreciate the owners who are so gracious to share and open their home . Thank you DJ. You were so nice and gracious. We appreciate very much for letting us stay. Jason & Kami.

AWESOME!

We stayed at West End Ranch for a month recently while waiting for the home we purchased to be ready. DJ, our host was very responsive, kind and accommodating during the booking process and during our stay. The property itself was clean, comfortable, spacious and great for us and our dog! The home is tucked back at the end of a dead end road and was very quiet and surrounded by nature. The Sonoran Preserve is 5 minutes away, which is great for hiking and mountain biking. The beautiful welcome basket was a very nice touch! Book a stay at the West End Ranch- you will love it!

Nice quiet secure place.

My son and I staid here while he competed in an event at the Ben Avery Shooting Center just a few miles away. Very nice clean place. Very quiet. Enjoyed listening to the coyotes at night. My son liked having the pool table and dart board in the game room. A good place to decompress from his competition. The place is hidden at the end of a small private road. No traffic at all and very secure if you have gear on a trailer. We will be back!

Elegant Desert Getaway

A beautiful guest basket welcomed me filled with fruit, cheese, wine and snacks. Lots of snacks! And there was eggs and coffee and half and half to start the day--much appreciated since I arrived late at night without time to stock up on essentials. Every morning there was a beautiful orange (!) sunrise and flocks of morning doves chattering their way up the road. The house is in a quiet neighborhood at the end of a road, so no traffic.The house is elegantly furnished with everything you need for a vacation and the hostess is charming and accommodating. I would definitely stay again.

Perfect extended stay

We cannot thank DJ enough for opening her guest house to us and our pets for six weeks while we were in transition between our home sale and home purchase. DJ went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The game room definitely added a fun factor and we really enjoyed playing pool and teaching our daughter how to play poker on a real poker table with real poker chips! The bathroom and kitchen provided everything we needed and there was tons of closet space for all of our stuff. We enjoyed sitting out on the back patio in the mornings watching the wildlife. Our favorite part of our stay was getting to know DJ - she is a lovely person and it has been our privilege to make her acquaintance.

Not Comfortable

Kitchen, dining area, bathroom, outdoor grille good. Bedrooms have poor nightstands, no lamps and window treatments that don’t block all light - beds good and rooms quiet. The only living room furniture is one sacked out sofa with a hole in it, no end tables, no lamps. TV is horrendous and practically unusable. No satellite/cable as advertised. Internet TV with only 3 app subscriptions. Internet inadequate for streaming - constant need to reboot, constant buffering and audio/video out of sync. No OTA antenna so no local channels. Tripping hazards - walking from room to room and living room rug. Neighbors have barking dogs, play music loud enough to hear, and have bright party lights that shine in the side yard and house. Many items in need of repair - doors, door openings, dishwasher.

Beautiful house

The house is beautiful and was everything that was advertised. Very clean and nicely decorated. We really liked the game room and pool table. and the owner, DJ, was very accommodating. I do not recommend that you bring any small-medium sized pets as there are numerous coyotes in the area, some in roving bands, who appear to have no fear of humans. My little dog (my best friend weighed 18 lbs) was taken away by a big hybrid coyote while he was standing by the driveway. We spoke with other residents who had also lost pets this way. Owner did warn that coyotes could be a problem but having grown up in N Phx in the 70s, we never had any problems with them. During our search, we noted that some brain-dead residents in the area leave water pans and food out for coyotes, perhaps not realizing that this only brings them in closer and makes them have no fear of humans. Maricopa County needs to start paying a reward for coyote corpses and start leveeing fines on the morons who encourage what happened to our wonderful dog. There are far too many coyotes in the area and it's only a matter of time before something even worse happens. We really miss our Maverik.

What a great property with a very well stocked kitchen! DJ as thought of everything down to the smallest detail including a fresh bouquet of flowers in the kitchen! The only thing I would mention is that it is a little further out than we anticipated but that was just based on the areas we wanted to explore. That said, we would definitely recommend this property and we would stay there again.
