About this property

Charming Desert Casita

This bright and comfortable casita is a cozy retreat; it is appointed with all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay. The house has it's own entrance with a patio to catch the Sonoran sunsets. There is a bright, full kitchen with an eat-in bar area and beautiful marble countertops. The bedroom has a queen-size bed and it's own tv. Other features include a pullout sofa, full-size washer and dryer, wireless internet, Direct TV, Keurig, and a dedicated parking spot.

This casita is located right across from the McDowell Preserve, which is over 30,000 acres and encompasses hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails.

The McDowell Sonoran Preserve really gives the feeling of seclusion, however you are actually less than ten miles away from four beautiful public golf courses, with many great dining and shopping options. Some of the local highlights include Westworld, the home of the famous Barrett Jackson car auction (15 miles), The Waste Management Open (14 miles), Keirland Commons outdoor shopping area (15 miles), and the idyllic Carefree and Cave Creek western-themed town with great shopping (15 miles).

Everything you need for a 2-person get-away!
Kristen’s place was absolutely perfect for our stay. Checking in and out were easy. Location was perfect for activities in the desert. The house was incredibly clean and had everything we needed (we particularly valued the high-quality items throughout the house, such as towels, kitchen ware, etc., versus other homes we’ve stayed at). We hope to come back again in the future and will recommend Kristen’s spot to others visiting the area. Thanks again, Kristen!

Perfect!
Our stay was perfect at this "Charming Desert Casita". Kristen and Dale were more than accommodating. The location was great for hiking/walking and just a short drive for dining out or to pick up a few things for dining in. Highly recommend!

We built a home here for the views and the proximty to the preserve, Dale and I hike regularly. The main house has views from almost every window and is on over and acre of land.
