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).

    Lovely casita in beautifully landscaped courtyard with views of the mountains. Hosts are very responsive and provided detailed directions. I would definitely stay here again.

    The Charming Desert Casita is exactly that! The Casita has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Walkers, hikers, bikers, birders and all outdoor oriented people will love the location directly across from the Scottsdale Preserve. The grounds of the Casita are beautiful and you'll find everything you need in the sparkling interior. The hosts provide a binder with info about the entire Phoenix area, as well as ideas about local outings and places to eat. There is also a lovely and private patio. Check in was easy and the hosts were great. I hope to stay there again next time I'm in Phoenix.

    This was our second stay at this property, both long term stays (3-4weeks). Everything about our stay was great. The casita is just like it is shown online. It is very clean and well supplied. The patio area is very nice. The location is great as it is a quiet area yet close to a lot of activities. Communication with the hosts was very good. I would recommend this property highly.

    Great for short or long term for 1 or 2 people. It was easy to settle in and make it feel like home. If you're a mountain biker the location is an 11. Trails start right across the street. McDowell Mtn Park is 10-15 mins on isolated dirt roads/paths. I'll be staying here again if it's available.

    The casita was as listed to the letter. What we also found was a perfectly located, immaculate and very thoughtfully appointed home away from home. The exceptional hosts had anticipated our needs with clearly written instructions for use, as well as suggestions for area activities. We left after our visit wanting more time in this beautiful place.

    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!

    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!
