"We chose Valley Vista Getaway because of the observatory and it did not disappoint. The hosts were extremely welcoming and happy tp answer questions about the area. The house was well equipped, clean and confortable. Happy to recommend this rental."

"This was our 8th year staying at The Painted Pony with my wife, children, parents, uncle and family friends. We look forward to this week all year and it never disappoints. My wife was especially excited to see the new refrigerator Glen had in the main house! We were treated to some delicious desserts, delivered to us by Bryce. While there, Bryce changed a kitchen lightbulb for us with a smile on his face. Everyone we’ve ever come into contact with regarding the property has never been anything but wonderful. Glen does a great job choosing these folks. Each year we arrive and immediately feel like we are home. There is no place like The Painted Pony. We have already booked our dates for next year and can’t wait! "

"Charming ranch guest house only a couple miles down the road from beautiful Chiricahua National Monument. Listen to the critters chirping and watch a beautiful sunset from the porch. Clean, cozy and practical with a kitchenette and warm, welcoming hosts that live on the property. "

"Perfect location for the area. House was clean and well stocked. Will be going back next year. "

"After doing a lot of searching and reading we selected this property largely because of the number of good reviews. They were not wrong. This is a very special place that was completely built by the hosts. Everything you need for your stay other than food and clothes are provided should you choose to use them. The kitchen is well stocked with spices, coffee, condiments, and all of the equipment you might need to prepare your meals. Welcoming you is a bottle of local wine, a loaf of banana bread and some fresh eggs. The house is nicely laid out with plenty of space. Three bedrooms and two baths. Especially nice are the very large front and back yard patio spaces where we enjoyed coffee in the morning and a cocktail at night while we watched the wildlife. Deer and turkeys were the most frequent visitors. We also enjoyed interacting with the rescue horses on the property. It is super quiet and really dark at night. You'll see more stars than you can imagine. Cell service here is poor at best but the Wi-Fi is strong and we had no trouble communicating with our computer, phones and using the TV's in the living room and bedroom. (we didn't use the TV's much because it's so delightful outside) The hosts live a short distance away on the same property. They are a wonderful couple who will do anything to make your visit pleasant. Hopefully you will get a chance to chat with them as they have amazing backgrounds. We felt like we were visiting old friends. Can't wait to go back!"
