About this property

Secluded Casita Private Pool, Hot Tub & Saguaros, Full Kitchen

Escape to Freda’s Casita, a peaceful Sonoran Desert retreat for two with a private pool, heated hot tub, and panoramic desert views. Fall brings slower mornings, sunny afternoons, and evenings beneath the stars.

YOUR SPACE
Our approximately 700-square-foot casita is attached to our home and has its own private entrance, courtyard and outdoor spaces. Inside, you’ll find a beautifully appointed queen bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and spa-inspired touches, a separate living room, and a well-stocked kitchen with a breakfast bar. Welcome snacks and thoughtful details make settling in easy.

MORNINGS AT YOUR PACE
Enjoy coffee on the porch as sunlight reaches the saguaros. Make breakfast in the kitchen, linger over another cup, and take your time deciding what comes next.

YOUR OUTDOOR RETREAT
Read in the courtyard, stretch out on the pool terrace, or find a shaded spot to enjoy the views. The pool is unheated and refreshingly cool in fall; the heated hot tub is ready for relaxing evenings. Fire up the grill, gather around the fire pit for s’mores under some warm blankets and enjoy the desert’s dark night skies.

EVERYDAY CONVENIENCES
A fully-stocked kitchen, dedicated workspace, fast Wi-Fi, and an in-unit washer and dryer make it easy to enjoy a longer stay. There’s room to settle in and feel at home.

EXPLORE THE DESERT
You’ll find hiking sticks and binoculars by the door for your desert adventures. Explore nearby trails among towering saguaros, head into Cave Creek for restaurants and shops, or spend a day at Lake Pleasant. Sedona and The Grand Canyon makes for an easy day trip.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply making time for each other, Freda’s Casita offers space to unwind and enjoy your days together.

The casita is magical! It’s a wonderful place, centrally located to see the surrounding areas. So very clean and inviting with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The pool is amazing and refreshing. Visiting with the donkeys was a nice treat, they are so very sweet. The hosts are very gracious and accommodating. We’d choose Freda’s Casita again and again.

What a fantastic stay! The photos and description don't do the lovely casita justice. We have stayed many places, but this quickly became, hands down, our very favorite. Every amenity we could have ever needed was readily available, the bed was so comfortable, the pool was refreshing and the donkeys were friendly! What a charming spot to relax and recharge after visiting the wonderful AZ sights all around. I wish we could give it more stars..it's certainly deserving!

The casita is PERFECT. Well furnished, comfortable, hospitable and clean. Host is responsive and friendly, the pool is beautiful, the area around the home is quiet and private and the Donkeys are such a treat. The host has stocked the kitchen and bathroom with all necessities you would ever need. I’ve never been to such a well supplied VRBO. It’s easy to access from the highway, but far enough away that you feel like you’re at a retreat in the desert. Highly recommend.

Freda’s castle was absolutely beautiful, and the donkeys definitely were a plus! It was very nice to get out of the city and enjoy the peaceful and quiet desert evenings, as well as being able to see the stars at night. The hosts were very welcoming and very accommodating, we loved our stay

Our stay at this desert casita was everything we hoped for and more. The casita was beautifully designed, peaceful, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The private pool was the highlight—it was perfect for cooling off during the day after a morning hike right from the property. There is outside seating perfect for unwinding under the stars at night. One of the most memorable parts of the stay was the friendly donkeys on the property. They added so much charm and made the experience feel truly unique. Waking up to the quiet desert landscape and seeing them each day was such a treat.If you're looking for a peaceful escape with a mix of comfort, privacy, and a little bit of desert magic, this is the perfect place. We'd happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

Nicest VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. This was our second visit and we’ve already booked our visit for next year. Remote location but easy drive to everywhere. Hosts have thought of everything I. Terms of accommodations and amenities. Too many luxe touches to even mention. Peaceful beautiful surroundings restore one’s soul. We enjoyed feeding the donkeys, taking a dip in the pool, and enjoying the hot tub under the stars.
