Great location and accommodations

We had a lovely time at this home. The living space and outdoor gathering area were very well appointed. There were a couple times when the WiFi was spotty but that didn’t last long. We walked to downtown a couple of times to shop and eat. I highly recommend staying at this home!

We loved it!

The Prickly Pear was a perfect base for an annual gathering of 50-something gals. It was comfortable and cute and well-equipped. We loved the outdoor spaces and amenities. Glen was immediately responsive to our questions. I felt like I had hit a home run by choosing this property for my out-of-state friends to enjoy along with all the Verde Valley has to offer.

Great space, great location, ample parking!

This space is fantastic for a group! We instantly felt at home. It has a great set up with nice indoor and outdoor areas to gather while everyone had their private space to escape as needed. The location is ideal as it is walkable to the restaurants and tasting rooms of Old Town. While we didnt prepare any meals in, the kitchens appeared to be fully stocked. We will definitely return!

Girls Trip

Six of us stayed in the Prickly Pear house which is two separate units, one with stairs and a balcony, one with a ramp made of pavers. We split three in each house. So thankful for the ADA compliance since one of our gals was was having trouble getting around. Both units were absolutely great, walking distance to Old Town, well decorated, well stocked, and had enough space in the one without stairs that we could all sit around one table and play cards/games or eat all together. We had a great time. Hosts were great. Already talking about coming again next year!

Amazing!

I booked the Prickly Pear Guest House to house my entire family for an Anniversary Weekend with a surprise 60th Birthday Party for my Husband. With 9 adults aging from 32 to 89 these accommodations worked beautifully! The ramp access for my Father in Law was superb, the penthouse patio was perfect for my daughter and her husband and their meditation needs, and the main house was the best setting for our family dinner on our first night! We will definitely book again here! Thank you for a wonderful weekend!
