About this property

Charming Country Retreat Near Windmill House, Gunsite & Downtown Prescott...

Far removed, yet right where you want to be! Leave the chaos behind—yes, that means the heat, the cold, the noise, and the people! Swap the hustle and bustle of everyday life for our cozy rustic farmhouse that feels like a warm hug from nature itself.

Imagine cool nights and summer breezes beckoning you outside to witness stunning mountain views that’ll make your heart sing. As you gaze at the starry skies, breathe in the farm-fresh aromas wafting by—who knew serenity could smell so good? Take a seat on the front porch with a glass of something delightful and watch the horses, cattle, and pronghorn grazingly critique each other’s fashion sense in the open land. Or, grab that BBQ on the back porch; you're in for a treat featuring a backdrop of majestic mountains and the delightful antics of backyard chickens—who knew fowls could put on such a show?

Not a fan of feathers or fields? No problem! The interior is just as charming. Kick back, indulge in a movie marathon, binge your favorite YouTube rabbit holes, lose yourself in a riveting book, or whip up a culinary masterpiece in our fully-equipped kitchen—you can even call it a “gourmet adventure” if you want!

Perfectly nestled in peaceful Chino Valley, just 2 miles West of Route 89, you’ll find us mere minutes from epic hiking, biking paths, delightful shopping experiences, and tantalizing dining options. Feeling adventurous? Dive into all the outdoor escapades you can handle—whether it’s hiking, horseback riding, or channeling your inner cowboy at Gunsite shooting range. Trust us, there’s never a dull moment!

And let’s not forget that downtown Prescott, with its charming atmosphere, is only a quick 20-minute drive away. So, pack your bags and prepare for a serene escape—beautiful, secure, natural, and utterly relaxing!

NOTE: WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE; WE ARE IMPROVING THE EXTERIOR OF OUR HOME ONLY, SPECIFICALLY THE LANDSCAPING... This will not effect your stay as we perform the work when Guests are not present at our home.

Rest assured, the interior of our home has had some furniture additions and subtractions but still looks the same as in the pictures posted...

I can not say anything bad about our stay here - only positives. The hosts, Paul and Reshel, were responsive and very welcoming. The property was clean and extremely well stocked and the location was quiet and remote - the chickens and the stars even put on a show. From the moment we arrived, Paul and Reshel made sure we were comfortable - actually even before we arrived as they made sure the air conditioning and all the ceiling fans in the house were turned on so that when we arrived the house was cooled and inviting. Upon inquiring if we were allowed to have a fire in the outdoor fire pit in the evening, Paul hand delivered kindling and fire starter material. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, including a dozen eggs, fresh from the chickens, for us to eat. There were plenty of extra towels and pillows in the baths and bedrooms. When we got ready to leave in the morning, Paul even took time to take our picture. If I could give 10 stars as a rating, I would. If you and your family/friends need a place in or near Chino Valley, pick this one. Thank you, Paul and Reshel.

About the host

Hosted by Paul & Reshel Simari

Host profile image
Introducing Paul Simari, affectionately known as "Prescott Paul," a dedicated REALTOR® with Real Broker in AZ. Originally from Brooklyn and raised in NJ, Paul moved west in 2016, quickly becoming a beloved community figure, thanks to his wife, Reshel, a native Arizonian.

"On October 4, 2015, I found God," Paul shares. This pivotal moment transformed his life and business direction. During visits to his mom, who settled in Arizona over 35 years ago, he felt a strong pull toward the state’s beauty and lifestyle. “I took the leap of faith, and I’ve never looked back,” he adds, citing the friendly people and stunning mountain views as his motivation.

Before becoming a REALTOR®, Paul sold ads for a small local newspaper. After hearing from agents that he would excel in real estate, he made the career switch. "My journey with God opened my heart to helping others," he explains. "Real estate became my way of making a difference."

A vital part of their lives is Windmill Ranch, where Paul and Reshel host guests in their short term rental. Their property offers clean, spacious accommodations for up to eight overnight guests. With breathtaking mountain views, it's a perfect getaway for families and couples alike.

Windmill Ranch is conveniently located near The Windmill House, Gunsite, and Downtown Prescott. With a commitment to a peaceful environment, it has received numerous 5-star reviews from satisfied guests.

Paul serves clients in Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Chino Valley, calling it a melting pot of cultures. “We have a fantastic mix of retirees and Californians seeking refuge in Prescott.

By pouring their hearts into both real estate and hospitality, Paul and Reshel have created a tranquil haven. Whether you want to list your home or plan a vacation, Paul and Reshel are eager to welcome you with warm smiles and helpful advice. Windmill Ranch awaits – a roomy retreat with breathtaking views to refresh your spirit!

Why they chose this property

Escape to our serene retreat, where stunning views and tranquility await, all just a short drive from Downtown Prescott. Our home is equipped with all the modern amenities you desire, including high-speed internet, a 65" widescreen LED TV, a fully-equipped kitchen featuring a refrigerator with an ice maker and water dispenser, a microwave, and an oven. Enjoy the convenience of a large washer and dryer for your comfort. For outdoor fun, we provide games like horseshoes and cornhole. The property spans two acres and is fully fenced for your privacy, complete with an entry gate. For your peace of mind, security flood lights and Ring cameras are installed around the exterior. Experience comfort and relaxation in our beautiful space!

What makes this property unique

What makes our property unique? Well, let us tell you! For starters, it’s not every day you find a sanctuary that combines unbeatable tranquility with modern amenities—think of it as a spa retreat that also has your favorite TV streaming shows. Imagine sipping a cup of coffee while gazing at stunning views, only to realize you've forgotten your socks because you were too busy enjoying the peaceful vibes. But don’t worry, you can toss a load of laundry in our large washer and dryer without missing a single episode of your binge-watching!

And speaking of fun, our outdoor space is a playground for the adventurous and the strategically inclined! Challenge your friends to a heated game of cornhole or horseshoes, and may the best player win—loser buys dinner! Plus, with our fully fenced two-acre property, you can let your inner child roam free, knowing you have privacy and space to explore.

So while Downtown Prescott offers its charm, why settle for a cozy hotel when you can have a whole retreat all to yourself? Think of us as your stylish home away from home, where leisure and laughter are just a game away! Come create unforgettable memories—who knows, perhaps they will include a legendary cornhole showdown!
