This is a great place to stay for those who like to be out of the fray in a peaceful setting, while having easy access to Scottsdale amenities and great hiking. The casita is situated at the back of a large lot, separate from the main house. The living space is very comfortable and a good size by casita standards, with the bedroom separate from the main living area, as well as a large bathroom. Ed and Janet are fantastic hosts and made it clear that they wanted us to fully enjoy the place and not worry about cleaning up before we left. We also appreciated all of the supplied sundries, including soaps, detergents, lotions, paper and plastic products. The kitchen is also well supplied. Cooking surface included two portable induction cooktops which were very convenient and kind of fun to use. A toaster oven, large convection/microwave and Weber grill are also provided, though it was too cool to grill outside while we were there. Also appreciated were the keurig coffee pods, granola bars, salt, pepper and sugar. You will need to provide all other food items.
Ed gave us great info on good local restaurants, and hiking trails and responded immediately when we had an internet connection glitch. We would definitely stay here again!
