Heat and air conditioned. Patio has fire bowl, swing seating, rocker, hot tub. Two gates, is enclosed for your use. Full view of sunsets. Lots of parking, just out side of patio area. Long drive way off the street.
The casita has parking , opens to the west and north. In the distance you can see Superstition Mts, SE the Catalina Mts. Few miles away is Boxx Canyon, We have hiked or rent side by side in Florence. Or bring your own.
We are country desert, neighborhood rural, it’s what Az is. So we would like to share this in the winters. This is the best time of the year for hiking. Bring good hiking boots, clothing for layering. Water bottle, and a good walking stick. Please be aware of the critters and clawers, after all we are a desert. We live on site. This our winter, home next to the casita. We share a eight inch brick thick wall plus’s 4” on each side insulated. So it’s very quiet. Our interests are retired, enjoying taking care of this home, sharing some of the unique things that we have done in Az. Hiking, events near and around here. Some guests have come for winter baseball season, Western league around the valley. Golfing, near by Florence. Unique small towns, easy driving. Greek Monastery about 8 miles south of here. There’s the Casa Grande National Park over in Coolidge. Was the first in the country’s park system. Very interesting.
Non smoking, no pets.
We use the time between guest for deep cleaning, and preparation for the next guests, with two to three days in between. Key is also sanitizer. After cleaned it is closed up for the next guests. There is also cleaning products under each sink, paper towels toilet paper, etc.
As you check our photos, the studio has blackout curtains between the king size bed, and the full size hide-a-bed. Plenty out storage space, this area goes out to the fenced area, with hot tub. Note on the tub, need to have pre request for using. As I have it empty and it takes a day to fill and warm. It is so nice after a day of hiking!
The kitchen is just right for light eating. For additional use,outdoor cooking on a barbecue is provided in the patio area. 2021 we have added a smooth top range pans and bake pans, pizza pan.. Over head fan and microwave. Patio furniture includes a swing to stretch out on, and couple other chairs. Barbecue. After a day of hiking, come back and relax ! Put a steak on to the barbecue, watch the colorful sunsets. Get into your hot tub. Watch the stars! Especially brighter in the Southwest. Star chart to name the solar systems. I have added a hot or cold water system. Great for making tea, or filling your water bottles.
We look forward to your choosing our casita. We love the Southwestern winters! No snow to shoveling, or like the Nw months of rain! I would suggest a light weight jacket, as it gets cooler in the evenings. We layer our hiking wear. A good pair of shoes, hat etc. I like to take walking stick with. Since this is the desert we always keep a sharp eye on the ground. We are all in the same place of the wild life! Caution is important!
One of my favorite things is driving out and hiking in the morning, packing a light lunch then hiking back, to truck. We do have a good time! Also take our BC/Aussie along. I don’t allow pets, although you can ask?
We have a horseshoe pit, it is fun! And a recycled desert finds for a mini golf course, plenty of putters. Eighteen holes to practice your skills on. With the higher fuel prices for driving here, I won’t to help with 10% off for a seven day stay & 15% off for 28 days of stay or more.
So come on down, get in the Sun! Winters are a lot better warmer!
