Vacation rentals in Cave Creek Canyon

Such a spectacular setting! Sitting on Joy and Ray's patio terrace is like having Yosemite valley all to yourself, an unbelievable treat. The cabin is lovely and the location is perfect. Joy and Ray are welcoming, relaxed hosts. The poet Mary Oliver famously asked, "what will you do with your one wild and precious life?" . Joy and Ray provide a pretty remarkable answer to that question, that is an inspirational model to the rest of us. Natural history and historical interpretation, science and education, photography and exhibit construction, music, rodeos...a rich tapestry they wove exactly how they wanted, with creativity and science and collaboration running through it all. We can't wait to return to the canyon views and the conversations on the patio terrace.

Mary Katherine was super responsive and easy to work with. We had trouble the the digital lock, but she was able to get us a key immediately. No trouble after that. Conveniently located near the wine tasting rooms. Beautifully decorated with comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. If we're back in the area, we'd definitely stay there again!

Susan and Bob were great hosts. This place is very comfortable with great outdoor living space. Suited our needs perfectly.

The Hacienda was the perfect place to call home for our first birding trip to Cave Creek Canyon. The space was clean, comfortable and cozy. We saw lots of birds and wildlife right on the property. And Bill is a knowledgeable and gracious host.

The cabin is peaceful and private and in a fantastic location if you want to hang out in and around Portal. As everyone says, the big porch with its expansive view of the mountain, and the many bird feeders which bring in a dozen or more species ( and javalinas!) and the dark skies are really special. The cabin itself is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals but the Portal Cafe is a fun place- next time we’ll bring fewer groceries! Steve was responsive when we texted with a minor question.

The casita is remote with gorgeous Mountain views. The birds are wonderful to watch. There was a very small issue with the water pressure on our last day but the host’s response was immediate and the issue was resolved. Can’t say enough about this casita.

The hut was very well appointed inside and the views looking out the large sliding glass door were peaceful and serene. This was a great spot to come back to after touring several of the wineries and just relaxing with a bottle and some food. We look forward to our next visit out to the huts with our family.

Lovely cabin in a great location near Portal, AZ, where great bonding locations are found. Rhonda and her husband has great bird feeders right in front of the cabin terrasse. Got several new birds without leaving the premisses. Very clean and nice homy place which greatly exceeded our expectations.

This was my 3rd time visiting the property and everytime it has been a great stay. Tvs have been added to the bedrooms but were not necessary for our stay. Great place that's well equipped but the area is just perfect for the views of the night sky and the peace and quiet
