Private stay

The space was great, no oven but they have an old cooktop. Pots and pans could use an upgrade. No washer or dryer, so if you’re staying a week like we did, go to town to do laundry. We like the space, our dog did well here and we walked just up the Road to Ravens view Restaurant. You are close to all kids of trails, and great little towns. The host Susannevery kind.

The Studio is fabulous - super spacious and clean, with walls decorated with stunning motorsport paintings. Those who appreciate peace and solitude, sweeping vistas, dark sky stargazing, and wildlife will love the remote location which is only 15-20 minutes from downtown Cave Creek. The hosts are warm, welcoming and quick to respond to inquiries. Check in was seamless. Many thanks to the Herrmanns for also offering a pet friendly property. The fee is very reasonable - 20 for the stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our short time at the Studio and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a quiet, comfortable place to rest and relax.
