✨ Is This Home Right for You

This home is a great fit if you’re:

- A couple or solo traveler craving peace, privacy, and a slower pace

- Someone who loves nature, wildlife, sunsets, and star-filled skies

- Happy unwinding outdoors — deck lounging, and cowboy-tub stargazing

- Comfortable with a remote desert setting and planning ahead for groceries

- Enjoys an active, outdoor lifestyle—hiking, desert walks, biking, or running in wide-open spaces.



This home may not be the best fit if you’re:

- Looking for walkable restaurants, nightlife, or shopping nearby

- Uncomfortable with dirt roads, dust, or desert wildlife

- Sensitive to the idea of sharing a property (the casita and main home are separate but on the same land)

- Looking for a place to host gatherings, parties, or events

- Uncomfortable with country roads or rural surroundings or wildlife animals



Guest Access:

Guests have access to the entire casita and private yard areas. The driveway is shared with the main home on the property, but you’ll have a space for one vehicle.



The Neighborhood:

Located in northern Scottsdale on a dirt road with a charming desert vibe! You’ll be about a 35 minute drive to North Scottsdale shops and restaurants, shops, but this location is special in that you’ll find endless hikes on beautiful trails, surrounded by nature and clear stargazing at night! It's a wonderful opportunity to disconnect and get away from it all!



Getting Around:

The home is 37 miles | 60 km (about a 40-min drive) from the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and 18.6 miles | 30 km (about a 30-min drive) from the Scottsdale Airport (SCF). You’ll need a car to get around, as Uber and Lyft ride services are difficult to get to/from the property.



Interaction with Guests:

The home uses a Smart Lock keyless entry where you can check yourself in using the electronic door code.

You’ll have complete privacy during your stay, but we’re available 7 days a week. Should you need anything, just send us a message.

    Our stay was fantastic. We were able to thoroughly relax at the property. The outdoor area was so nice and comfortable for the two of us and our dog. Mountain biking from the house to the McDowell Trails was super convenient. We also walked to the Conservation Center and had a great tour.

    AMAAAAZING Find! At the last minute I needed a quiet place for a week of business in Scottsdale. I always prefer to find a home vs hotel for the practical reasons of being able to cook, spread out and relax. I stumbled onto the Casita and fell in love with everything about the place. It’s a little tricky to find at night but the directions and support team made it a breeze even when I arrived near mid nite. Just as the pictures show, the Casita is a fabulously upgraded and luxuriously appointed hideaway. Of course it checked all the basic boxes of cleanliness, nicely supplied basics etc, but all of the “little touches” really made the place feel special. The modern/desert decor is spot on and the bed & pillows are incredibly comfortable. As someone who likes to cook, the fact that the kitchen was well outfitted beyond simply the basics was much appreciated. While all of these features alone would have been enough to rank the Casita as one of my favorites, the outside courtyard and deck were an INCREDIBLE plus! Whether lying in the hammock, grilling steaks or sipping a bit of wine on the huge deck sofa while staring up at the starlit sky…I honestly felt like I never wanted to leave. I was almost hesitant to leave this review for fear that it will be harder for me to find available weeks, but I couldn’t resist giving proper thanks to the host and team that really made a business stay anything but “business as usual”.

    You definitely need a gps to find the place but it’s great once you’re there! It was a perfect fit for the two of us while watching a golf tournament at the close by Rio Verde. As mentioned stores etc are at least 15 min away but if you plan accordingly then that isn’t an issue. The casita is very nice.

    Plenty of room for a getaway. Great amenities. Everything you need for a short or long stay. Loved the overall feel. They did a great job. We're stealing the shower tile idea for our next place. Quiet location tucked away at the back of the property. For mountain bikers and hikers McDowell is right there.

    Do not hesitate to chose the casita if you are looking for a quiet and private setting in the desert. It will not disappoint. You will need a car as the casita is not located near conveniences. I found this part of the charm and serenity. There is ample parking for one vehicle. All amenities are first class, the casita is well appointed with everything you will need to feel at home. All appliances are new and work well. Having a washer and dryer was very nice. I stayed for 3 1/2 weeks with two small dogs. The back yard was fenced giving them adequate room to enjoy the outdoors. The patio deck and sitting area were wonderful perfect for coffee in the morning sunshine. Bedroom and bathroom are spacious with a comfortable king bed. There is also a queen hide-a-bed in the living area, maximum sleeping capacity is 4. The casita is well illuminated at night and feels secure. I thoroughly enjoyed staying at the casita and will definitely consider staying again.

    This was the second time we stayed here. Great location close to many hiking trails. The casita was the perfect size, very clean and well stocked. The bed was very comfortable. Checking was seamless and any questions were answered promptly. I can’t say anything negative about it. We Hope to return.

    This was a perfect place for the two of us to stay. Really cute casita, with everything you need in a compact space, and nice private area to sit outside. We were in the Scottsdale area to get away from cold weather up in Wyoming, and enjoy some mountain biking and hiking. This place was close to McDowell Preserve, Granite Mtn trailhead, and a 20 minute drive to Cave Creek Regional Park.
