Amazing property in the heart of Queen Creek
Had an amazing trip out to Queen Creek with friends! Thanks so much for the beautiful home and amazing stay! Jill was great to work with and so attentive to any questions we had. We would definitely recommend if your looking for a great place to stay in the center of queen creek. Close to city center, Queen Creek Olive mill and Schelps farm!

Perfect home away from home
My husband I found this lovely place while looking to stay in the Queen Creek area during our son's wedding weekend. It was perfect for us - quiet, clean, close to the venue, dining and shopping. Our hosts responded quickly to any questions and we appreciated having our own parking and entrance to the casita.

Beautiful area with friendly hosts!
Jill was able to get us into the property early with short notice! The property and surrounding area was gorgeous. Jill was very friendly and the dogs were very well behaved and a joy to have around. It felt like your own place at the guest home, which was great. I would recommend this location to anyone looking to visit the state. Tons of activities close by (hiking, dining, shopping)

Adorable and Easy
We stayed for two weeks and it was a truly enjoyable experience. The owners were very attentive and quick to respond to all questions. They were very communicative when they needed to be. The location is easy to find with lots of amenities close by. The casita is clean and we didn’t hear any noise from neighbors. We would definitely stay again.

Sonoran Desert Hideaway
We truly enjoyed our stay at this charming casita tucked away in a serene neighborhood that captures your imagination with the ranchette concept and paddock fence-lined walking trails that meander throughout the homesites. The casita is very clean, spacious, well-appointed with all the creature comforts of home, and handsomely decorated. The living space furnishings were extremely comfortable and the king size bed provides amazing comfort and very restful sleep tucked in with quality bed linens. The owner is very personable, welcoming and has excellent communication skills. Our schedule was very full during our stay, so we could not avail ourselves of all the amenities both inside and out, but we will definitely return to enjoy this desert paradise. We have recommended this property to friends and family who may visit the area. Thank you for making our stay so relaxing. Like the pillow in the casita guest bedroom says “enjoy every moment” and we truly did! Rose & Brian The Desert Rats from Oxford, Michigan

Lovely Casita in Queen Creek
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home in Queen Creek. The location was perfect for us--close to family we were visiting, close to SanTan Mountain park for great hiking and close to fun dining/shopping like the Queen Creek Olive Mill. This home had everything we needed to make ourselves at home and be comfortable for the week! Comfortable bed and recliner couch and chair for relaxing, convenient kitchen with all the utensils dishes and helpful appliances, a walk in closet supplied with lots of indoor and outdoor games and a stackable washer and dryer. The patio area was perfect for relaxing and had its own grill and fire pit. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay--complete with fresh oranges and grapefruit from their fruit trees! Jill couldn't have been more hospitable! We would love to come back again!
