Set on a 7.5 acre parcel, the Casita is part of a working horse training facility that includes a roping arena, horse stalls available for a fee. There is also a 3 bed 3 bath house available for rent on the same property. You can bring your own horses to board(contact owner for price and availability) or just come to enjoy all the other surrounding activities that are close by. Situated close to the town of Cave Creek, the Casita is within waking distance of the Maricopa Trail and Sonoran Preserve. It is minutes away from the Ben Avery Shooting Range, Lake Pleasant, numerous great golf courses and North Scottsdale. Whether you come to greater Phoenix area for horse events, golfing, hiking, “The Barrett Jackson”, “Phoenix Open”, spring training games, shopping or ATV/UTV riding, you’ll find this Casita convenient to all these attractions. It is also convenient to great restaurants and entertainment.

Great location for a base camp, to explore the Cave Creek area, with comfy bed and couch plus a full bath. Surrounded by ranch properties and natural landscape it’s a nice place to relax after your hike or ride.

Out of the way yet close to carefree highway. Horse property, so you have that country feeling. Amazingly quiet considering how close highway is.

Place is very nice and clean. Only thing is the main road leading to property is poorly maintained. Not the best for bikes or low clearance cars

The casita was clean, cozy, and in a quiet area. The hosts were communicative and had treats and a welcome note for us when we arrived. The only thing that was a little challenging was the dirt road. It had multiple potholes.

Great location and private. Lots of horse paddocks and I think I heard a donkey or two! Nice owners who left me with several contact numbers - always helpful - but everything was fine. Lovely patio too.

The site was perfect, on a ranch dirt drive but the privacy and the hospitality is second to none. Tried to rebook for end of March but was already taken.

Awesome Horse Property
Absolutely loved our Casita. It was perfect for my husband and I while vending for a week in Cave Creek. Marley, the dog, was super sweet. Enjoyed her occasional visits. There were muffins, a bottle of wine and other goodies waiting for us when we arrived. Would definitely stay there again.

Perfect location
Stayed for a weekend to attend a wedding and hike. The home was clean and comfortable. It was the perfect halfway point between our wedding location in Phoenix and Sedona. The owners responded immediately to a couple of questions we had. The highlight may have been Marley, the owner’s pup that welcomed us when we arrived and came to wish us safe travels when we left. Very quiet and peaceful location as well. Would definitely stay here again.

Clean and comfortable casita. Coffee pot AND coffee provided! Also there was a bottle of wine, crackers and cheese, some fruit and a muffin. The hosts left a hand written welcome note with their phone numbers should I have any questions. Top notch at a reasonable price. Would stay there again.

Sharing space with animals
New signage would make it easier to find. We enjoyed the mule, quail, lizards, cotton tails, cactus wrens and little ground squirrels. Horses and long horn cattle were friendly. Definitely a calm setting.
