Everything about the casita was more than satisfactory. Loved the cozy fireplace at the foot of the bed. Private. Modern decor. Everything we needed for a nice weekend in the Verde Valley. Liked staying in quiet Clarkdale, away from the hubub of Sedona. Thank you Rick!

The casita is clean, comfortable, and quiet. Rick was very responsive and helpful for all of our questions. We wish we had had a longer stay.

We loved staying at Rick’s casita. Very quiet neighborhood in historic clarkdale but very close to the more active Cottonwood and Sedona hiking. We loved the fire pit and hot tub every evening after hiking. The property was really nice and Rick was extremely responsive and communicative. A great stay!

Nicely finished, private with a courtyard. Perfect distance to Jerome or Old Cottonwood. Good hiking int the areas

This casita had all we could ask for. Cute, quiet and in a nice neighborhood for walking. Good parking spot in driveway (not on street). The bed and sheets were very comfortable and the shower was nice. The kitchenette had all we needed for coffee and snacks and there is a hot plate and pots and pans available if someone wants to cook. We also used the washer dryer which was nice to have after dusty hiking. Tip...there is a little pocket door between the living area and the bedroom if you want to close off the two. We don't watch TV but it was there if needed. We would go back to this location.

The casita is a cozy place in the heart of Clarkdale. Its clean, quiet, and a short walk to downtown. The surrounding area offers beautiful vistas of Mingus Mountain, the Verde Valley and Sedona off in the distance. The manager is attentive and quick to respond to requests. While visiting Clarkdale be sure to soak up the best the area has to offer. Start your discovery at the surprisingly interesting Copper Art Museum, for the rich history of Clarkdale. Wonder through the many rooms of copper artifacts from the unique to everyday use over many generations. Drink with the locals at the 10-12 Lounge and catch a local band. Grab a craft beer at the nearby Smelter Town Brewery. Most mornings, we started our day at Violette’s Bakery Café for authentic French pastries but be sure to check the days and hours of operation. Cottonwood is a short drive from the casita and shouldn’t be missed. The new Merkin Vineyards Hilltop Winery & Trattoria is all the rage in town and sits atop a hill providing spectacular views of the valley. Last but not least – plan a visit to the Pillsbury Tasting Room to enjoy their wine offerings along with gourmet food by an in-house chef in a fun comfortable setting. We chose not to fight the crowds in Sedona, opting for the more laid-back towns of the Verde Valley with their fine wines, gourmet food and rich history. We had a wonderful time and plan to return to Clarkdale often.

The place was nicely decorated and immaculate. We found the bed extremely comfortable, and the shower pressure was strong (a minor thing but definitely a plus!). Our host was very gracious and communicated well. Thumbs up on this one in every way!

Clarkdale is the perfect home base between Cottonwood and Jerome! We fell in love with the area after visiting last year and staying in a Clarkdale hotel. When searching for a place to stay the following year, we came across Rick’s casita in Clarkdale and we were enamored with the beautiful pictures and property description of this secluded romantic place close to the Verde Valley amenities. Rick is the consummate host and has equipped his casita with everything you may need and more! We plan on coming back soon! Thanks Rick!😊
