Perfect for 2 people. Very easy access, fabulous host. Highly recommend

Casita was clean, cozy, comfortable and well stocked. However, I rated this as a 9/10 due to two new security cameras not listed in the property details nor are they shown in the photos of the property. More importantly, it’s the placement of one of the cameras which violates many people’s desires to feel they are staying in a private place. The photos on the main house show a flood light, but on the other side of the eave of the house there is a new security camera pointed directly at the casita front door, front yard patio chairs & picnic table area (not cool) - you should move this to the back of the main house to point at your backyard not the casita “yard”. It feels like a peeping neighbor watching you (again, not cool since this is the “yard”). You need to update your photos/description to say “private use” not “private and relaxing” if you have a camera pointed at them. I have stayed at several places with cameras and they always list it in the property details/photos (e.g. front door ring cameras/driveway cameras – which is fine). However backyard or in your case the only “yard” – people should make their decision if they want their privacy violated when they may have chosen your property for “private and relaxing” when that is not how I felt. It's an easy fix for the owner – move the camera placement, update your photos and description. Otherwise, everything else w/the property was fine.

We had a great time at this Casita. It's very clean. Washer and dryer and all other amenities you need are included. The host is very responsive. All the things you might want to do in northern AZ are within driving range. Lowell observatory is just down the road and is a must visit. Lots of great food options nearby and some within walking distance. There is a dedicated parking spot for your car. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet.A couple notes.1. When I was asked to fill out this review I was asked to rate the winery on the property. There is no winery on this property but the review would not let me continue unless I gave a rating for the winery. Not sure why I was asked to review a non-existent winery. 2. The place is a bit smaller than you might think. When I looked at the pictures originally I had the impression we were renting the entire facility you see in some of the pictures. In reality you're renting the smaller building seen to the right of the bigger building. My only reason for bringing this up is if you have a bigger party this might be too small of a place for you. It was absolutely perfect for my wife and myself. Maybe a younger child or two could work as well, but it would be tight. I would highly recommend staying here if you plan on visiting this area. The price is similar, or a bit less than some of the nicer hotels and you have everything you need with the advantage that your car is right outside the door.

This casita was the best of our many VRBO experiences. The host provided everything we could possibly need, and the full size washer/dryer simplified a longer stay. The private courtyard—with Adirondack chairs and fire pit—was a huge bonus. The location was ideal for us: totally private, yet close to everything. Beautiful walk and bike paths outside the front door, grocery store and eateries within a few blocks, and a short drive to Mt. Eldon trailhead. This was a perfect escape for us.
