About this property

Peaceful Private Retreat with Pool

Hello there! If you're looking for a place to get away from the busy city life...but only 20 minutes from Phoenix...you'll love to stay at our home in Black Canyon City.

Our place is just enough out in the country to be totally private, peaceful and secluded yet close enough to town, restaurants, shopping and community to be ...well in our opinion...just perfect.

Outdoor living is at its best here at the Black Canyon Retreat. Bordered by the Sonoran Desert alongside beautiful south facing mountains and huge iconic Saguaro cactus, you literally feel the peace and quiet here. Rest in the hammock listening to the sounds of birds singing and let your stress melt away. Then enjoy the ultimate relaxation with a refreshing swim in the salt water pebble teck pool...optional heating available April thru October. We supply pool toys, loungers and towels. We've also got a private bathroom for you outdoors poolside. Kick up the party by connecting with our outdoor Bluetooth speaker and play your favorite vacation music. Then fire up the poolside BBQ on the spacious outdoor gas grill. We've got all the BBQ utensils and equipment you'll need. Then serve your beverages from the poolside tiki bar and soak up the Arizona sunshine in the comfortable lounge chairs.

In the spacious yard you can practice your putting skills on our three-hole putting green.

By evening time you'll be thrilled with the gorgeous desert sunsets of spectacular colors. On a cool night light a fire in the fire pit and gaze up at all the stars in the desert sky at night..since we are outside of the city the night sky is amazing. This is the finest vacation rental in the area.

Relax and unwind indoors in our comfortable living room with brand new sectional sofa and smart TV. Beautifully decorated in southwestern style yet modern and completely outfitted with all brand new furniture, appliances, washer and dryer, AC/heater, ceiling fans in every room, smart TV, and wifi included. Prepare your meals in the spacious newly remodeled kitchen with gorgeous countertops and all new appliances.

When it's time for bed you'll get a great night's sleep on luxurious memory foam beds with all new linens and pillows.

In the morning help yourself to the tea and K-cup coffee provided for you. We love to start our mornings enjoying the amazing views of the mountains and saguaro cactus from the front porch while we sip our morning coffee, listening to the sweet songs of all the native birds.

Adventure awaits you off the property as well! Simply walk out the front gate to the left and discover endless miles of hiking and off-roading trails. There are so many amazing hikes in the area. For even more adventure, drive a few minutes down the road to Arizona Outdoor Fun. They've got the most affordable off-road tour in Arizona, ATV/UTV rentals, and a private on-site shooting range with options ranging from full-auto machine guns to .50 caliber sniper rifles. This is the most adventurous tour Arizona has to offer!

Getting hungry? We've got fantastic restaurants nearby...the famous pies at Rock Springs Cafe is just 2 miles away, as well as Four Bees Cafe, Beni's Pizza, and Chilleen's On 17 (as seen on TV) all right here minutes from the house. Farther down the road you will find shopping and dining at the Anthem Outlet malls just 14 minutes South on Hwy 17. Or jump 30 minutes over to Lake Pleasant, 60 minutes to Sedona, 35 minutes to Spring Training Baseball, 40 minutes to Super Bowl, 50 minutes to Sprint Cup Nascar, and 2 ½ hours to the Grand Canyon.

After all that adventure, book a massage with the certified massage therapist in her office right next door. It doesn't get more convenient than that!

Out of 33 Reviews we have 4.9/5 stars.

A beautiful week in Arizona
We really enjoyed the week in this beautiful house. it had everything we wanted for relaxation. The location, the peace, the beautiful pool and pool area and the complete equipment were perfect for us. After every excursion in the area, we were happy to return to "our" refuge. We had a lot of fun watching the many hummingbirds and other wildlife, as well as the spring blossoms everywhere. The contact with Susie was very attentive and friendly and small problems could be solved immediately. Thanks for that! The house is highly recommended and we would love to come back sometime.

Relaxation, peace & quiet
We loved this house! We were exploring the area north of Phoenix so the location was perfect. It was peaceful and quiet; we heard the birds sing every morning. There were hiking trails at the end of the driveway to little mountains surrounding us. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed, except a toaster, which Susie promptly bought when we let her know. The Keurig coffeemaker was not working well so she brought a new one! We would certainly come back again!

Awesome Stay
I absolutely loved this place. Susie was a very gracious and responsive host. The location was great. Like being out in the country, but yet you're right next to town with good eats. I had lots of fun walking the trails next to the property, picking up rocks, viewing the birds and wildlife, and just relaxing. We got a lot of use out the putting green on the property in preparation for our golf outings in Phoenix. And the beds were some of the most comfortable we've ever slept in. We would definitely stay here again if we're in the area.

Great experience
The property was beautiful and the location was perfect, we wanted to get away from the crowds, but still be close enough to enjoy shopping, restaurants and the sights. This was perfect for that. The peace and quiet, the privacy, even listening to the birds every morning...it was all very relaxing. Thank you for a wonderful vacation, we will be back again!

Perfect Spot!
Great location! We were out of the Phoenix insanity but close enough for visiting and it’s a great jump spot for seeing all of the Central and northern beauty of Arizona. The house itself was a wonderful oasis of peace and quiet. We loved the flora and fauna—including oranges picked off our own trees! We also had easy access to several good restaurants and grocery stores. Thanks Susie and Frank

Peaceful Retreat
We really enjoyed our stay in this cute little house. It was quiet and private, there were hummingbirds and cardinals visiting the bird feeders, and it was close to trails for hiking and exploring. When we had down time we fully enjoyed sitting in the sun by the pool, and of course it was great to have a barbeque handy for dinners. Overall: WE LOVED IT!!

May in Black Canyon City
We loved our stay at the Black Canyon City home. The location was private and quiet, and was a great jumping off point to visit various attractions in the area. The home was beautifully furnished and had everything, and more, needed for a comfortable and peaceful stay. The salt water pool was perfect for relaxing in evening. Even though we had a full itinerary of places to go, we hated to leave the large landscape property and pool some days, and in fact, spent as much time as possible just relaxing in the home.

Spring break
If your looking for a place to hang by the pool for a week then stop right here and book this place now! If there were 100 stars to give, I would. We absolutely had a blast staying here. 5 of us girls were traveling from northern Colorado for spring break and looking for some place a little warmer than home. The only thing on our list of requirements was a pool and this house exceeded our expectations 100 fold. The house was beautiful, clean, and stocked with everything you could imagine. It was close enough to the grocery store that if we needed something we were right down the road but also far enough from Phoenix that it was a quiet slice of heaven. Anytime we left the house we were counting down the minutes until we could be back in the pool. I cannot say enough good things about his place. We will be back no doubt!

Secluded area great local area beautiful country side
After a rocky start, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Black Canyon retreat. The town area was quaint with a local grocery that had almost anything you would want. The house had a well stocked pantry in case you needed anything. There was even a packaged tooth brush if you forgot yours. The House was perfect for my wife and I. Probably too large for 2 people. A family could live here comfortably. The pool was spectacular, clean and almost like a hot tub in the evenings. During the day it was cool enough to enjoy the warm weather outside. The home was easy to find and close to Phoenix if you want big cities and Williams where you can ride the Grand Canyon Railway for a trip to the Canyon if you like. I would stay here again in a heatbeat.

Very nice accommodations
The kitchen and pantry were wonderful - nice appliances throughout. Bed/s were very comfortable with plenty of linens. No problems with WIFI or the TV. Plenty of outdoor parking within a locked gate entry. The house is rather isolated but has great views of the mountains and scenery. Had an issue with the shower but it was tended to immediately. It still could use a different, easier to control, handle to regulate the water temperature. I would probably would rate it a 5 if it weren't for this. I enjoyed my stay!

About the host

Hosted by Susie Felix

Host profile image
Hi!
We are the owners of the Black Canyon Retreat. Nice to meet ya!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property and bought it in 2018 when we were living in San Francisco. This peaceful quiet place was just the answer for us to get away from the chaos noise and crowding of the big city. We've had it on VRBO as a rental ever since then and enjoyed many different folks getting their little bit of peace and serenity here as well. Since that time we have moved to Arizona and live just 20 minutes from the house, so if you ever needed us for anything, we can be right there!

What makes this property unique

The most wonderful thing about this place, in our opinion is the privacy and the pool. It's completely secluded and completely relaxing. We absolutely love to get away from it all, dip in the pool and soak up the sun and fresh air. What a rejuvenation it is to spend time here.
