Wake up surrounded by saguaro forest and stunning mountain views through floor to ceiling windows in this modern 5 acre retreat. The main house sleeps 2 with a separate apartment for 2-4 more-perfect for two couples or a family that wants space. The apartment is never rented separately, so the space is only for you or your group to ensure privacy. Step outside to an 800ft wraparound deck and a chefs outdoor kitchen: Ooni pizza oven, Santa Maria-style BBQ, gas grill and Traeger smoker. Pick dinner straight from our seasonal vegetable garden, then unwind in the wood-fired hot tub or the cold plunge tub. Trails start at your doorstep-Spur Cross Conservation is a 10 minute walk west and the 2.9 million acre Tonto National Forest is 10 minutes north. Hike, bike, ride horses, or go birding all day. Packs, hiking poles, maps and suggested itineraries along with complimentary park passes. Spur Cross offers easy, moderate and strenuous trails for hiking, mountain biking or birding. The Jewel Of The Creek is a lush riparian area known for excellent birding year-round, where mesquite, willow and cottonwood trees line the seasonal creek. Road Runners , Gamble Quail, Cactus Wren, hummingbirds and owls live here as well as migrating birds. Use our complimentary binoculars or bring your own and before you leave the house, download the free Merlin Bird ID app from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology which identifies birds from photos or even from their song, recorded on your phone. Once the sun sets, the real magic begins. Our dark skies are made for stargazing, and each stay includes the use of 2 Night Sky star wheels set to our latitude to show you what's is twinkling overhead and 2 red light reader pro's that protect your night vision and a sky atlas cheat sheet for finding the Big Dipper, the North Star and maybe even the Milky Way. Then grab one of our complimentary two sets of night-vision monoculars to spot bobcats, javelina, fox, deer and coyotes that pass through after dark. Restaurants, golf, shopping, live music and bull riding are just a 2 mile ride into the town. The final 1.2 miles to the house is an unpaved, bumpy road. A high clearance vehicle or AWD vehicle is recommended.
