Wonderful setting, inspiring architecture, spectacular pool and surroundings. I hope this mid-century house and casita (where guests stay) will be preserved for future generations. We've lost too many mid-century/1970s buildings. It was a privilege staying here.

We loved staying here! The size was perfect for the two of us and the setting and scenery was spectacular! TV worked great which was important for us to be able to watch March Madness basketball. GO BLUE! We loved all the outdoor metal flowers/animals and always seemed to spot something we hadn’t seen before. The location is centrally located and close to many amazing trails for hiking, restaurants and shopping. Katharine was a great host and always let us know when she would be stopping home. We ran out of time to go on the boat but we will definitely be back and take her up on the offer. Highly recommend staying here if you want something unique and memorable!

perfect for 1st time in arizone

we found the ultimate place for exploring the area. we were able to walk to carefree, and base camp for a couple road trips to Sedona , old Scottsdale and Goldfield ghost town (all worth the drive). Lots of good restaurants in Cave creek. Try Tonto's at the golf course.

Best Little Casita

I cannot say enough good things about this place and Katherine as a host! You can tell that she puts a lot of thought and effort into making this place feel so welcoming and making guests feel at home. I stayed here while I was on a trip for work and it really felt like a nice little escape. The casita is very private and has all the basic amenities you could want! Not to mention the pool and hot-tub are lovely and very well maintained. Thank you Katherine for being such a kind and welcoming host!!

The property is amazing with fantastic views. The pool and hot tub are outstanding. The Casita is very nice and has everything you need. Katherine is very accommodating as a host and provided all sorts of nice touches like a bottle of wine in the fridge along with other beverages. I would definitely stay there again.

Super friendly…great experience

We stayed in the casita the week we dropped off our son at ASU. We absolutely love the Carefree and Cave Creek area and this was right in the heart on Black Mountain. The views are awesome and the pool was as well! Catherine is very friendly and accommodating!!
