Yumas Best Kept Secret

Discover the unique charm of our cozy farmhouse nestled in the tranquil desert landscape. Bathed in natural light from skylights throughout, our home offers a warm and inviting atmosphere without the intense Arizona heat. Decorated in a delightful farmhouse style and located in a newer community built in 2017, it’s both safe and quiet neighborhood to stay in. Out home is an ideal for both couples and families.

Relax and unwind on our expansive patio—perfect for social gatherings, sipping cocktails, or soaking up the sun. Our location combines convenience with the beauty of nature, situated just 2 miles from essential shopping and a mere 5 miles from the culinary delights of Downtown Yuma. Adventure seekers can explore Algondones, Mexico within 18 minutes or the sweeping Glamis Sand Dunes in 40 minutes. Golf enthusiasts will find a course nearby, with easy access to the vibrant cities of San Diego and Phoenix.

The property includes parking space for two vehicles in the driveway and additional parking on the curb. For your safety and peace of mind, the property is monitored by two security cameras.

While we welcome your furry friends, we kindly ask for pet approval with a one-time fee of $45per dog.

Please note, the garage will not be accessible to guests as it is used by the owner during certain months of the year. However, there is ample space for two vehicles in the driveway. Street parking is also allowed.

FELT LIKE HOME

The minute we walked in the door we felt at home. It was nice to see all the necessary equipment/supplies in the kitchen, a few groceries for morning and spices in cupboards. Katie was only a text away if needed anything. Great neighbourhood and neighbours. Thanks for sharing your house with us.

Hiking respite

Home was exactly as advertised. Clean, seamless access. Communication with owner was prompt and courteous. We mostly based out of the home for hiking trips in the surrounding area. It's a standard neighborhood with most amenities one mile away. Not a complaint, and not contrary to what is noted, just a fact. The house is spacious. My only request would be some pots for cooking that don't have flaking teflon/non-stick surface. We cooked several nights and many of the pots were in a degraded condition (but clean). I would gladly stay again.

Yuma getaway!

Wonderful host! Beautiful property exactly as pictured. Comfortable furniture & beds. Very clean & well stocked property. Minor - yet a bit time consuming was need to hand wash forks after each use. Could use a few more, 4 total. Enjoyed using the outdoor patio on a daily basis. March weather in Yuma was beautiful as well as alot of celebrations throughout the town!

Beautiful Home and Friendly Owner

We were so blessed to find this home. It looks exactly like the photos shown on this site. It is close to shopping and the border. We made six trips to Mexico while there for dental work. Also excellent restaurants of several different choices and movie theater very close by. We had some technical difficulties when we first arrived with Internet and TV (which we found out later was cable company) but Katie was on top of it communicating with us step by step. When the technician did arrive he got everything fixed with the TV’s and gave us new remotes and batteries and there was no charge for her. We were impressed how well the house the house was stocked with towels and spices and coffees and tea and even sun tan lotions. And there is a brand new washing machine and dryer in the home. We always bring our own soaps and shampoo and conditioners. We had company for dinner three times and company over night for two nights and everyone loved the home. Plenty of dishes and cooking supplies. You will not be disappointed. As a special bonus we met a Katie when she came to get her truck . A relaxing experience in a beautiful home . Enjoy!

Daughter and grandson visit

Our grandson, who was one of the guests, asked that we give a really good review. He, his mom, and both of us, really do have to praise the cleanliness, thoughtfulness, and comfort. We got to hang out and visit in your lovely home as ours in only big enough for 2. All would have gone even better if we had found your phone number to communicate sooner, but all ended well

Great Yuma get-away

The house was very nice with comfortable beds and pillows! There was a very well stocked kitchen, even though we didn't make anything more than coffee. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe! Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to sit out on the lovely, covered patio & enjoy the patio furniture!
