Monthly Rentals in Portal

The goal was to unplug from our busy lives for the weekend, and John & Cathy’s place was absolutely perfect to do just that! We felt right at home, the place was just so cozy. They provided an incredibly detailed “instruction manual”, which covered topics ranging from how to use the AC and the ROKU remote to where to get groceries and possible daytrips. This location is very remote, so that came in handy - and so did the full kitchen! No need to leave the place if you don’t feel like it. The highlight, of course, was when John hosted a starparty for us in one of his 3 observatories right in the backyard. Even though the moon was a little bright, he showed us so many amazing things, all with a detailed explanation of what we were looking at. Next time we’ll make sure to visit during a new moon, so we can see even more - because we definitely plan on coming back!

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.

We loved this place! It was so beautiful and peaceful. Kellye even sent us a picture of the sunset the day before we arrived. We highly recommend it.

Our stay at Neil’s Greenwitch House was wonderful. This was our second time there, and once again, it was the perfect base of operations for hiking, birding, and astrophotography. My wife also got in some great runs on the nearby road system. The house was clean, inviting, and comfortable. We appreciated the clarity of Neil’s prearrival communications, and our stay, from beginning to end, was problem-free. We enjoyed watching birds and wildlife around the house and were delighted that we had clear nights for imaging. I contacted Neil simply to say hello and let him know we enjoyed our stay. He responded quickly, and I know he’d be available promptly if we needed his assistance or advice. All in all, this was a relaxing, hassle-free visit. We’re looking forward to returning.
