Cave Creek Canyon is beyond gorgeous! We have been blessed to stay in this cabin several times in the last 3-4 years. Our Thanksgiving stay this year was lovely. The cabin was clean when we arrived, which was much appreciated. We brought firewood and enjoyed the wood fire stove in the living/dining area. There was a leak in the sink of the bathroom which we reported. The views from back are humbling and the stars at night from the front almost seem fake. Bring hand soap and cleaning supplies. One of the best cabin's ever!

It is a very cozy and nice place to stay. We had the wood burning heater on most of the night, which was a delight. You should bring your own sheets, blankets, toiletries, matches, and anything you want to cook. It has a full kitchen, which is nice. They also provide a propane grill out back, if you plan on using it. No cell service or internet, which, in my opinion, is the best part. I can't wait to return.

the little house is lovely. It was very clean, well-equipped, fantastic views and location. We had driven the dirt road over the Chiracahuas (ijn a sedan) and were so happy to arrive and have lunch on the back porch. Nice nature walk down the way; glorious sunset and sunrise. Lighting in the house could be brighter (hard to read). The wood stove warmed us up. Cave Creek is a hidden gem.

This is a simple, charming historic cabin with updates. Ie: modern kitchen with plenty of cooking utensils, dishes etc. and bathroom with a shower seat and grab bar. There are quirky things about staying in a cabin, such as "Don't touch the shower nozzle!" A previous renter figured out the best configuration for it and left a note next to the shower. There's plenty of hot water and water pressure for the shower, by the way. If you are looking for posh, go to a resort. If you want a cozy place to stay quite near the wilderness, this might be your spot. This location is a short walk to the visitor center at the entrance of the Coronado National Forest. Volunteers who staff the visitor center also live nearby this cabin in rv's, and share a driveway with the cabin. They are friendly but will leave you alone. We did not feel this impacted our stay negatively. We brought our comfy canvas chairs and sat on the private back patio drinking in stunning views of the nearby canyon walls. Terrific place to sit and eat dinner also. We saw deer from the yard and heard turkeys calling. Our last night there, we sat in the fading light after dinner. Bats began flying overhead and a whippoorwill was calling in the distance. So peaceful! Please make sure to clean up after yourself if you stay here. Leave it the way you'd like to find it, as there is no maid service. If you have pets be extra respectful of the next occupants and vacuum up all fur on floors and furniture.
