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.

A Perfect Sonoran Retreat
Everything stated in this listing, and in the many five-star reviews, is 100% accurate. This casita and its location were ideal for our two week stay. We loved its address at the end of a dirt road. We loved seeing and hearing the donkeys out back every morning and evening. We appreciated the fact that everything in the Casita was nicely appointed and worked exactly the way it was supposed to work, i.e. the A/C, the grill, the shower, the dishwasher, the washer/dryer, etc. And did I mention that the backyard pool, fire pit, and lounging areas are simply lovely.... and relaxing. The owners were great to work with, and very friendly, but only "visible" when or if we wanted to see them. We would stay here in a heartbeat. Loved it.

Secluded yet coveniently located apartment
This was the perfect get away for the two of us. We flew in from KY and were happy to see lots of amenities in the kitchen and bathroom that we couldn’t bring with us on the plane. Everything was clean and nicely decorated and in good condition. The sheets and towels were good quality. The bed was a bit soft but didn’t keep us from a good nights sleep. The donkeys were cute and the pen was kept clean so even though they were close, there wasn't a smell. Their braying only happened occasionally during the day and it just made us laugh. The location was perfect for all the hiking that we did. Short drive to Sedona and Prescott where the terrain is different and beautiful. Daisy mountain was very close and very challenging. It was great to come and sit by the pool after a day of hiking, though a bit too cold to jump in. We ate in the apartment almost all of our meals except two. We followed their recommendation for El Encanto Dos and it was very good. In short, we loved this apartment and highly recommend it. Susan and Dan were great hosts and neighbors for the week.

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.

Peaceful Retreat w/Donkeys & Horses
Stay here! The online pictures are nice but don't do it justice. This place is immaculate and well decorated. A home away from home with all the amenities. Donkeys to welcome you. View from bedroom window amazing. Hiking right there. Away from the hustle & bustle of the city. Easy drive to Sedona, just 3 hours from Grand Canyon. We have stayed in VRBO's where we had to purchase toilet paper, etc. We purchased nothing...it was all here! Dan & Sue are lovely. Highly recommend.

Paradise!
It was the perfect setting! Very tranquil and as my husband said it "realigns you". We loved the Casita and the donkeys. Susan and Dan thought of everything that you can possibly need during your stay. We will definitely be back!

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.
