Quiet, Cozy, Peaceful
This is a well furnished, cozy little cabin with all the modern amenities. I thoroughly enjoyed staying in the quiet peaceful setting, and just being able to get away from the city for awhile. John and his wife were very communicative and helpful. I'll definitely stay again if I'm coming out that way, R.

Wonderful experience
This was a great experience for my son and me. We were in the area to do some deer hunting and had the perfect place to stay and rest between hunts. Plus the hosts were amazing and gave us a Solar viewing and Star Party where we got to see the sun, Jupiter, Saturn, Pleiades, Andromeda and the moon through their telescopes. It was awesome!!! Everything was perfect!

2 Days of Serenity
After a whirlwind of travel starting in Southern Cal, then to Tuscon for a couple of days, where we stayed in a well-known hotel, our 2 days at Valley Vista were the best. Total relaxation and the hosts couldn't be better! Cathy was so kind when I spoke with her on the phone and John was as well when we met. My only regret is that we couldn't have stayed longer. We definitely plan to come back for a longer period of time and surely experience the star gazing the next time. I will highly recommend to anyone I know who plans on being in the area to stay! 5 stars and 4 thumbs up from my wife and I. Thank you, John and Cathy!!! Matt and Keli

Valley Vista Getaway
This little house was perfect for us. We were birding in the Portal/Cave Creek area which is less than half an hour away. We got a couple life birds while we were there! Loved the bird feeding station that we could see from the bedroom window. The view of the Milky Way is impressive!
