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. ##### Pru M. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lana M. Jan 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Desert Casita 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. ##### Lana M.

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”. ##### Carl ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Lou F.
