This is a unique lofted duplex in the middle of the Sonoran desert. We loved the solitude and beautiful sunsets from the deck. Tons of hiking opportunities right from the property.
We found the apartment dated, but comfortable for 4 adults.
We did have some minor complaints (multiple power outages, lack of basic cleaning supplies, no grill on-site as advertised, trash under deck) but none of which would prevent us from staying here again.
If you’re looking for a perfect rental property this is not it. But if you lean on the adventurous side, and want a place outside of the hustle and bustle, where you can stargaze and connect with nature, I highly recommend staying here!!! ❤️🌵

The property sits among the saguaros of the Sonoran Desert. There is even an amazing, mature saguaro that abuts the walk-out deck. A small gate allows you to leave the property and access state land that is covered with trails suitable for hiking, horseback riding, and driving ORV's. Skies are dark. The property sits about a mile or so off the freeway, so there is road noise when the doors are open, but it's not super loud.
The home is located about a 20-minute drive from downtown Maricopa, so you have a way to go if you need something from town. For us, the remoteness worked as it was the scenery and easy access to trails that attracted us. Due to its rural location, we had a few hiccups regarding electricity and connectivity, but they were short interruptions and only on one occasion.
The unit is one half of a duplex with the owner, Leona, living on the opposite side. Leona was a gracious host and worked hard to make sure all was running smoothly and that we had what we needed.
The kitchen is fully furnished, but you had to kind of "dig" through a lot of extras to find what you needed sometimes. If you are only staying for a night or two, the very small, camper-sized refrigerator should be sufficient. It was too small for our longer stay. The 2 bedrooms have sliding door openings to the deck and great views of the desert. It's the west side of the building, so you get the afternoon sun and sunsets!
Great stay!

Just step out the door, through the gate and you’re in the desert surrounded by mountains and Saguaros. We love this property.
Leona, the hostess… is very quick to handle any issues that may arise.

Comfortable, open, lovely, wonderful décor and a great video library for the whole family. Location was quiet and had a beautiful deck for the sunset. Loved it.
Comfortable beds and easy to find.
I will stay again on my next visit.

I wish we would have had more time to enjoy the area around the house as we were there for an event. It was a great house and Leona was super nice! I will book again if we are in the area!
