Cool, Clean & Quiet
I felt so cool and comfortable the minute I walked in This studio is private, artistic, spacious and so clean. Beautiful patio area too! Hospitable, communicative hosts... it was a dream, far enough away for peace and quiet enough but an easy drive in to amenities and hikes. Hope to stay there again 😊

A Top Rated Best Place Ever Stay
This is one of those properties that you wish you could give more than a 5 star rating, We have stayed with a lot of exceptional properties using VRBO and this one is on the very top of our "best list". Owners/managers were the nicest, property itself was so amazing and unique. BEAUTIFUL views, quiet, private, convenient. AND THE ARTWORK!!! I spent hours looking at the artwork, its INCREDIBLE... AND to meet the artist in person was the topping on the cake. Thank you Eric and Suzanne for making our stay so memorable and enjoyable! We shall see you soon! (and our dog was as happy here as we were! he gives it 4 paws high-five!)

Holiday Getaway
All great things about this place and the owners. The studio was larger than we thought, very comfortable and private. The owners Suzanne and Erik were wonderful and very accommodating. They kicked off the visit with a sweet gift and the Studio was ready with heat and lights on when we got in a bit late. We would definitely come back. The location is very peaceful and it was perfect.

Fantastic location and wonderful people!
Our stay at Eric and Suzanne’s casita was great! A beautiful property with wonderful views. Every morning I took the dog on a walk around the neighborhood. The neighbors were friendly and best of all only half a block away was a wonderful wine bar my husband and I would walk to each night. Looking forward to going back!

Perfect setup
Suzanne and Eric were wonderful hosts. They were always prompt to respond to our questions and provided local recommendations. The studio is simple yet functional and beautifully adorned with Eric’s wonderfully mesmerizing artwork. Raven’s View is a great small spot for drinks and dinner literally a couple blocks away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Launch into the desert
The studio my wife and I stayed in for the month was wonderful. We received everything we ask for from the property owner promptly. The location being beside the national forest was very private. During our stay, we enjoyed horseback riding, balloon ride, razor rids in desert, hiking, shopping, and much more. Would go back in a heartbeat!

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Herrmann

Host profile image
Eric and Suzanne have been married for thirty five year's, have three grown children and absolutely love living in Cave Creek, Arizona. Eric grew up in Chicago Illinois. He moved to Arizona in 1978 to complete his degree in Fine Arts at Arizona State University. He is now a World Famous Motorsport Artist. Suzanne grew up in Atlanta Georgia and moved to Arizona in 1983. She is the Controller of Downtown Phoenix Inc. A non profit that serves as the concierge service for Downtown Phoenix making it a great place to live, learn, work and play.

Why they chose this property

Situated on 3 acres against the Tonto National Forest, this stunning hideaway is peaceful and secluded.

When Eric and Suzanne first met he took her on a motorcycle ride up to Tonto Hills, an old artist's community north of Cave Creek with beautiful 150 mile mountain views and 10 to 12 degrees cooler than Phoenix. Eric told Suzanne he wanted to buy property, design a home and live there one day. Fifteen years and three kids later that is exactly what they did!

The Herrmann's purchased the property in 1998 designed and built their dream home and studio in 2003. Now that the kids are grown they have plenty of room to share their beautiful property.

What makes this property unique

Located 8 miles from the Unique Western Town of Cave Creek, The Studio is hidden in the Mountains against National Forest. There is an unobstructed view of the Mountains for 150 miles. At 3600 ft. in elevation, we are 12 to 15 degrees cooler than Phoenix in the Summertime.

Close to all the Tonto National Forest has to offer, Hiking, Biking, Motorcycle & Quad Trails, Boating at Bartlett Lake, the Studio is a perfect Base Camp. Located in the Golf Mecca of the west, The Studio looks out on "The Outlaw" golf course at Desert Mountain.

The Studio is located against the Tonto National Forest,15 miles from Bartlett Lake and within walking distance of the Raven's View Wine Bar and Restaurant.
