With riverfront access just steps away, you can enjoy the soothing sounds of the East Verde River or explore its serene banks any time you like. The direct access to the nearby tennis court adds a fun and active dimension to your stay—whether it’s a friendly match for either tennis or pickleball, basketball or simply enjoying the space with family.
The shaded by towering pine trees in the front yard provide a cool retreat in the summer and a stunning view year-round. There’s plenty of room to stretch out, play, or simply soak in the fresh mountain air. Adding to the magic, don’t be surprised to find nature’s visitors right in your yard—elk often wander through in the mornings and evenings, along with free-range cattle, playful squirrels, the occasional fox, and/or other small critters. These wildlife encounters make every stay an unforgettable adventure.

We also know how frustrating it can be to forget something on a trip, so we’ve made it a priority to stock the house with a little bit of everything to keep you comfortable and stress-free. From butter, creamer, and condiments in the fridge to toiletries, extra towels for outdoor adventures, and even items for your furry friends, we’ve got you covered. You’ll also find a variety of games, toys, and entertainment options to make your stay even more enjoyable.
This isn’t just a getaway—it’s an experience designed to help you escape, recharge, and create memories in a place that feels like it was made just for you.
