Ummm, wow. 🤩 I can’t say enough about this home, land, and location! Admittedly, we were very nervous about renting, because the listing was brand new and there weren’t any reviews. But, we took a leap of faith and are SO glad we did! The house is absolutely lovely, welcoming, thoughtfully designed, and just so darn peaceful. Feels like a nest! The land is gorgeous, surrounded by mtn views and 10 minute walk into sweetwater preserve. We ordered take out both night, because we didn’t want to leave the front porch. We will definitely be back- the Sonoran desert and this gorgeous place hugely exceeded our expectations!

This place is magical! Incredible location — we hadn’t realized when booking that the property is sandwiched between a wildlife preserve and the national park. Unreal access and scenery. The main house itself feels like a retreat -- it’s beautifully furnished, with everything you need for cooking and sharing meals. Kathleen and her team were helpful and responsive throughout my stay. I stayed in the main house and loved the ample space for our family of 5 but next time might bring the in-laws and also rent the gorgeous casita on the property. Either way, I’ll be back!!

This property and home--essentially our own desert compound- are spectacular! The main house is apparently straw bale construction (can tell bc of the peek window) and unlike any place our family has stayed before. It was immediately evident that a ton of love and thought were put into this home- no detail overlooked. I swear, the kitchen is better stocked than our kitchen at home. lol. We arrived and never wanted to leave--- stunning desert views in every direction, incredible wildlife (javelina, road runner, coyotes) and total solitude & privacy. Location was surprisingly great: we easily walked into Sweetwater Preserve trail system from the house and 10 min drive to great mexican food nearby. Very sad to leave but already looking ahead to next year when we bring our whole family back and rent the fabulous looking casita as well. Favorite Airbnb ever (and we travel ALOT)!
