Hidden gem
We had an amazing stay here. No detail was missed. The hosts were fabulous and we met the donkeys too. A nice touch was the walking sticks for hiking which we also did right outside the door. We felt very welocome. Definitely will be back.

Terrific place to stay
We found the place to be modern, clean and well located to experience Arizona. I would highly recommend this place to others traveling to that area. We will visit this place again in the future.

Great stay
The property was immaculate and very well stocked, everything we could want was available and there were even treats provided. The donkeys were adorable and friendly. We had a beautiful morning hike in the hills walking among the saguaro and other cacti. It was a beautiful place to stay.

Introduction to Arizona
The Casita exceeded our expectations and was a great location for experiencing Arizona for the first time. We only had a few days, so the location was important. Getting there from the airport was easy and not stressful. Once there, the Casita had everything we wanted and then some.

Sweet Donkeys!
We loved our stay at this casita. Beautiful views all around and plenty of comfortable outside seating areas. Comfortable bed and pillows. Quiet neighborhood with great stargazing. The casita was spotless and everything was well stocked. We lacked nothing. I bought some bagels from the bakery and I was very happy to find a bread knife there to cut them with. I was very impressed. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed including creamer for my coffee and fresh eggs. They even made sure the hot tub temperature was set to our liking. Super nice hosts. We loved meeting the sweet donkeys. They are so cute and friendly. Our stay here was perfect and we hope we can stay again.

The perfect home base for hiking, exploring and sight seeing. Everything you need is close by and there is no noise or lights from Phoenix. The host were amazing with communication and what things to go and do. The hike right outside the property was a wonderful way to end our stay there.

Great RVBO!!!
It was a wonderful home away from home. The owners could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They have donkeys on the property and shared with our family an experience of feeding them treats. They also had a 4 day old baby donkey! Thank you for hosting us, Ann and Jerry

Everything you need already stocked for you! Owners went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. The thoughtfulness and details make this place stand out. Susan and Dan should write a “how to” book on how to successfully set up the best VRBO experience. Many thanks!

Burros, pool, hot tub, desert hikes!
Very clean, well stocked, plushy casita. At the end of a short gravel road with the Sonoran desert at our doorstep. A welcome basket of snacks and comforts of home were an unexpected bonus! Probably the best VRBO we’ve stayed at- and we’ve traveled a lot in 10 yrs! Shopping only 5 miles away. Fire pit and outdoor viewing area for viewing sunsets. Very relaxing, away from the hustle & bustle of Phoenix! We’ll be back.

Perfect Getaway!!
A stay at Fredas Casita was just what I needed. The casita was far enough away from things that I could relax and enjoy the peace and beauty of nature but close enough to activities like horseback riding and hot air balloon rides that I could sprinkle in some adventure into my trip. Especially loved the ability to take morning hikes on the trails next to the property. Susan and Dan were great hosts and have created an oasis in the desert.

Perfectly Off the Beaten Path
We have stayed in the Phoenix metro area several times, so were looking to get a little further out and see what “real life” is like…and this casita was the perfect place!! Great location if you are planning any trips north and fun local restaurants like The Roadrunner Saloon with real bullriding! Susan was a fantastic host and the casita is perfection. Lots of thoughtful items present like sunscreen (we always forget to pack it!) Super comfortable accommodations 1 we would definitely stay again!
