We stayed in the casita the week we dropped off our son at ASU. We absolutely love the Carefree and Cave Creek area and this was right in the heart on Black Mountain. The views are awesome and the pool was as well! Catherine is very friendly and accommodating!!
The property was exactly like what was described in the listing and was exactly what we were looking for! I’d recommend it to anyone hoping for a secluded home that’s still close to lots of amenities!
My friend and I had an incredible stay at this property. Such a cool place! There was so much to see and explore. The property is very private and quiet. The directions and instructions were clear. Katherine was also very kind and accommodating. I would definitely stay there again in the future.
Was impressed with the setup the moment I stepped on the property. The pool setup is amazing and the multilevel options provide even better views than exist at pool level. Perfect spot for one person or a couple. Walking distance to all things Cave Creek - particularly taking the back way to Buffalo Chip!
The property is amazing with fantastic views. The pool and hot tub are outstanding. The Casita is very nice and has everything you need. Katherine is very accommodating as a host and provided all sorts of nice touches like a bottle of wine in the fridge along with other beverages. I would definitely stay there again.
The check in and checkout were so simple - communication was easy and the host was incredibly accommodating and responsive! The property itself is stunning and conveniently located for everything we had on our agenda - relaxing (do not skip the hot tub), off roading, hiking and eating good food! We loved it so much we extended our stay 3 days!! So many little touches - welcome basket, coffee and creamer, comfortable bed! Absolutely will be back!
The property was a 50 on a scale of 10! Everything was provided….even liquid creamer! It was immaculate. The property had breathtaking views. Host was easy to reach and thought of everything! Definitely will stay again!
Wow!! What an amazing property! Nestled in the stones and rocks, this place is an architectural delight. The whole neighborhood is actually… The views are epic, the interior and exterior design capture the Arizona spirit, and the quirky history of the house furthers it’s intrigue. This place feels alive and integrates with its natural surroundings in a very pleasant and surprising way. Kat is an awesome host and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here if you’re in the area. We’d love to come visit again soon! Cheers!
Arrival and check in were simple. The casita had everything we needed. It is a little small but quaint, We were mostly gone golfing so mainly there for coffee and sleep. There are great views from the patio. We did do the yacht cruise on Lake Pleasant with Katherine and that was really fun with beautiful scenery. The boat is plenty big. We brought 2 other couples and had enough room. Katherine was a good captain and host. She had great background stories. Highly recommended. If you're looking for a comfortable economic stay, this is it. The main house has a laundry, pool and hottub to use and lots of neat art there.

Smokers beware
Property is a 10. Host is a 1.
We were told we could smoke outside using the ashtrays provided. There was a booklet inside the property that laid this out for us. Just said "use the ashtrays on the patio." There were several ashtrays outside on two different patio areas, one directly by the casita and at least 3 more ashtrays by the pool area. Host is now trying to charge a damage fee for "smoking inside the property" when we never smoked inside a single time. She said "the ashtray outside was never used." Katherine. Have you never cleaned up after yourself when you're the company? We simply disposed of the cigarette butts in your trash can, and then took the trash out, trying to be respectful of the property. But yeah. Charge us an extra $500 because we disposed of the cigarettes we smoked.
It's a nice property. Katherine was hardly there at all, we told her we'd spend 90% of the time OUTDOORS by the pool and we did, so all of that smoking we did? OUTDOORS by the pool, you saw us there every time you were home, we were at the pool. By the hot tub. On the patio. Never once inside the Casita, not in the laundry area, not even close. If it smelled like smoke inside when you finally showed up, it's probably because YOU smell like smoke, Katherine.
Great location and scenery near our conference. Did not have time to take advantage of the other amenities available onsite.
The bed could use a new mattress, it was very squishy and caving in toward the center. Owner is responsive and provided little treats in the casita as well. The property has the potential to become a very popular destination stay with some more updates.
We had a wonderful stay at this private casita in the mountains near Carefree. The casita sits at the bottom of a stairway you need to take to get to the pool and hot tub, and it is worth the climb. The view from the back of the house, on the deck, in the pool, anywhere is just amazing . . it's a wonderful place to relax. We were surprised that that there is a constant breeze up by the pool which was very welcome in the heat.
The casita is well-appointed, small living room, a desk, small kitchen with a nice sized frig, a bedroom, dining area and a covered patio over-looking the vally.
Great places to visit or eat are very close by, The Boulders resort and golf course is literally visible from the house.
One note: The pool is wonderful and unlike other pools we have used in AZ this one was much cooler than the air temperature. We think that is due to the fact that this is a deep pool! There is little space to stand and the pool drops down to 10' or so in the middle so be prepared. : )
We will definitely visit again!
