Independent in Chiricahua National Monument

"This was our second visit to the Painted Pony and it was again a delight for everyone from the four-year old, through the tweens and teens, my grown and married children, and for Grandma and Grandpa. Lots of space, lots of fun things to do (swimming, sauna, basketball, pool, ping pong, etc. It is in the middle of nowhere, which we LOVED! Close to the Chiricahua Mts with great easy and hard hikes. The hosts were very responsive also."

"This cottage was a perfect fit for birders, away from the crowds and excellent open range area to catch the morning and dawn bird activity. The location is a short drive to the Chiricahuas. Our hostess was very accommodating, the rooms were well furnished and this provided a perfect base for our stay."

"Quaint, relaxing, good communication with host, comfortable beds, clean, fluffy towels, relaxing location with lots of stars and beautiful sunsets. Would definitely stay here again."

"Perfect location for the area. House was clean and well stocked. Will be going back next year. "

"Property is lovely. Minor glitch is that the ice maker didn't produce much ice! We just bought some so it worked fine."

"We chose this property because it was close to two hikes we wanted to do at Ft Bowie and Chiricauchua. Willcox is right down the road. It was the ideal spot for what we needed. Clean, comfortable and a great place to relax. "

"If you like looking at the stars or spending time in the Chiricahuas, this is a great place to stay. The unit has all the essentials -- a well-appointed kitchen for cooking whatever you want, a comfortable living room with a huge TV for relaxation time, and a nice bathroom with jetted tub. The huge back deck with the two concrete pads with power and ethernet connections are excellent features if you bring your own telescope. Even without a telescope, it's great to just relax on the deck and look...
