Wonderful old Southern Arizona Location
First the good:
Great location, old growth trees and proximity to trails and the nearby river make this an exceptional place to stay. I saw numerous birds and deer on my walks along the river which is just a short jaunt from the casitas. Overall, a very peaceful place to enjoy nature, if the woodshop is not in operation.
Not so good
Check in was nonexistent, when I showed up no one was there except for a Spanish speaker who tried to help me. She told me no one was scheduled to check in, so she gave me a room and I am not sure it was what I booked or not. She tried to be helpful.
I emailed the host well prior to my visit with a question and I never received a response. I was never contacted by the host or had my question answered the entire time I was there.
The wood shop was 40 or 50 feet from my casita, if they were working all I could hear was the noise of compressors, saws, routers etc. I could not sit outside if the woodshop was in operation and my porch was wonderful.
The dogs which many have mentioned did run about. They were not aggressive, but they did poop everywhere and when I took my smaller dog out with me the Shepard type dog came bounding over which scared my small dog. Their dogs were never aggressive, just a pain.
The bad
I can't believe VRBO lets them rent a place with no smoke detector or CO monitor since it used gas.
The casita reeked of the odor of dryer sheets, so I had to air it out, so I was not overwhelmed by the overdone fragrance.
