This casita was absolutely perfect. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked with almost everything needed to cook a full meal (a Walmart is near by). Thereâs also a charcoal grill, with charcoal and starter fluid provided, which I put to good use cooking the perfect ribeye.It was quiet and peaceful, and I loved listening to the coyotes at night. The outdoor fire pit was a great touch and made the evenings especially relaxing. Sandy was wonderful and helped guide me to the casita over the phone, which I really appreciated.I will absolutely be back.
We enjoyed the peaceful location. The host was incredibly responsive. Fenced yard was a bonus. Finding the ranch is a bit challenging because the address signs are peeling and hard to read.The exterior photo is a bit deceptive because the actual entrance is 1/8 mile to the west and drives past the tighly spaced casitas. Not as appealing as the photo suggests.The historic ranch dates to the 1930s and certain aspects of the property attest to that - moldy grout joints in the bathtub tile, worn out bathroom hand towels, lampshade in the bedroom which was very dirty, rickety chairs for dining table. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our visit and would stay there again.
Over all the cabin was grubby and needed updates. Washer didnât work. Not enough towels and what was there were not very nice. We were and bought towels. It was disappointing!
Wonderful experience, more than just accomidations. If anything came up or you had questions or concerns the host was very responsive and accommodating. Loved the quiet, the pool, and the fact it was VERY pet friendly. It is rustic with meaningful touches through out the property.The art work and lay out it gave the whole place a sense of calm. Exploring and adventure were "steps away". You are surounded by nature and wildlife. Great biking opportunities, also. Ideal in everyway.
Staying on the property made you feel like one of the locals, rather than a tourist. You are surrounded by the authentic feel of the Southwest. It is a quiet and secluded location that takes the worry away. So you can sit back and relax. Plus when you need to beat the summer heat the pool is ready and waiting.Weather it be the breeze blowing in the mesquite trees, walking the wash, or exploring near by nature areas-Mt. Lemmon, Saguaro National Park, or Colossal Cave (to name a few) the location makes easy access to a variety of activities. Many places "advertise" pet friendly and at El Mesquital lives up to it's word; even your pet will be feeling right at home. P. S. Sandy the host, was spot on.
