Tropical Mountain Valley Casita

This is one of two houses on a 2.5 acre lot with desert trees, palms, and lot of aloe Vera. There is a pool, playground, and a child sized ride on train. This is a newly remodeled house with a grey wood tile floor. The kitchen has a full-size side by side fridge, cooktop, and is stocked with cooking necessities. It also has private drive and entrance with a patio and grill. A castle gate next to the house creates a unique area to relax in. The area is quiet and dark, great for star gazing.

The space
The train will not be operational until April 1st due to construction of a playground. You can not hear any construction noise at the casita.

This is one of two houses on a 2.5 acre horse property. Both houses back up to a fenced in pool area. There are in excess of 300 palm trees around the house and pool. Some of the palm varieties are California palm, Mexican palm, date palm, pigmy date palm, European palm, blue Mexican palm, pindo palm, Bismarck palm, Madagascar palm, poney tail palm, canary island palm, and sego palm. The pool area has the feeling of a tropical lagoon. The house is on a dead end street. All of the homes are horse properties on 2.5 acre lots. We are one of the last homes before the desert wilderness starts. Tonto forest is larger than yellow stone and we are 3 house from it. This gives the neighborhood a feeling of being in the wilderness. There are many animals that cross the property. At night usually you can hear a coyote pack howling. There are very large numbers of hummingbirds in the spring. One of their favorite foods is aloe Vera flowers. There are thousands growing on the property that attracts them. If you wear bright color shirts they will fly up to you and follow you around. One of their favorite areas is the garden in front of the house. Last spring I had a baby hummingbird follow me around for an entire day. If you thought hummingbirds were small you should see there babies! The front yard has a living fence made out of ocotillos. There are many barrel cactus and over 35 saguaros. If you bring a black light you can hunt for scorpions at night. We also have lemon trees and you are welcome to citrus in the winter when they are ripe! The house is almost completely surrounded by mountains. This is not a subdivision and you will find out what old Arizona was like.

Guest access
You are welcome to wonder anywhere on the property!

Other things to note
Most nights you can hear coyotes. They always keep there distance and they are nothing to worry about. Sometimes javelinas (small pig like-creatures) wander through the property at night. They are very quiet and usually are not detected. If you see them just ignore them. They want to be left alone and are nothing to worry about. Just keep your distance if you see them.

It was a nice and spacious for a one bedroom. I did not care for the ants and other insects that came out at night seemed to love the bed. The owner/manager was not responsive to emails in a timely manner.

Another great stay!
We love this property! We had a family pool party and the pool area was perfect, everyone really enjoyed themselves. The wildlife was on full display, we loved watching the cottontail bunnies, a javelina family with babies, and the quail with their tiny little ones. One of our favorite things about this property is the remoteness, it is very peaceful and quiet.

Beautiful and quirky!
Upon walking in we were pleasantly surprised by how much larger the casita is in person versus in the photos. The property is absolutely GORGEOUS with so many fun gems throughout. And the owners allow you to roam and check it all out! Perfect for a quiet getaway with or without children. The train was a hit with the younger members of our party. Highly recommend. 10/10!

Restful stay
Everything was as listed. Very convenient location as it was both close to the mountains and the 202. The owners were pleasant and accommodating. The unit was well stocked in paper products and basic needs. We loved visiting the tortoises!

Terrific quiet SW casita!
My wife, little dog, and I all loved our time at this property. It was quiet, spacious, with good beds, great linens, and exclusive use of the (unheated, so quite bracing in January!) lovely swimming pool, and the great hot tub. All the garden plantings were really beautiful… Palm trees, cacti, succulents, and deciduous trees that are home too many lovely birds. We were able to have our daughter and granddaughter visit to play games and share a meal, and we took walks around the property and visited the desert tortoise enclosure there. A short drive away are Usery Regional Park for hiking, and the Salt River to explore. Landlord Andy was quick to respond about the very few things we needed, like extra coffee and mugs. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit this area.

Beautiful property!
The Casita was awesome and so very clean! We loved the property's uniqueness. It had a working kiddie train, which my grandkids loved along with a train tower overlook. So cool, fun and it has beautiful views! The property is close to freeways but has a remote feeling that we loved. We will definitely stay again. Thanks Andy!

My new favorite place!
The host (Andrew) was great! He was super helpful and responded in a timely matter. The Casita was super cute, clean and organized! I was able to celebrate my birthday with some friends who also complimented the place. The pool was big, the Jacuzzi was a hit and overall it was the perfect place for me to enjoy my birthday weekend. It was affordable and def deserves more than 5 stars.

It is a fun property. We loved the Tortoise enclosure and exploring the very large property. Our dogs enjoyed walking the property too. I would love to see it when it's all finished with the train and all the other projects.
