Secluded, quiet and Quaint!
Beautiful property. Secluded but only 15 minutes from Safford city center. Michael, the host, was wonderful. Beautiful deck overlooking a pond with a lighted fountain.

Truly a desert oasis!
The host, Michael, was wonderful. He communicated and responded promptly answering questions. I wanted to visit the Russian Orthodox Monastery nearby and Michael was the best. He put me in touch with a neighbour of his who was so helpful with best times to visit, etc... Michael's place is absolutely marvellous! Sitting on the patio was one of the highlights. The actual casita was fabulous too. The king size bed was very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to fix a quick snack. Michael was kind enough to even leave coffee pods for us. The loveseat and recliner were super comfortable. The bathroom was clean and the water pressure was good. Oh and the sauna was also a highlight. There were so many little touches that just showed that Michael really wants his guest to be comfortable and to feel welcomed. He even had some wine available to purchase using an easy QR code for Venmo or Zelle. Imagine you are out on the patio in the evening and want a glass of wine but don't want to have to get into your car, drive to a store, and get back. Instead, just walk a couple of feet to the casita, pick a bottle, and Zelle/Venmo Michael...GENIUS! There are too many little touches to list, but sufficed to say...I would go back in a heartbeat and I have absolutely no reservations about 100% recommending Michael's place.💯🤩⛲️🍷🌅

Outstanding!
Cute and peaceful with a wonderful sun deck, Qail running on the walls, Coyotes in the wash, and fish skimming the surface of the pond. Far out enough in the country to be serene and restful, yet close enough to town to make shopping convenient.
