Heaven on Earth Retreat's Wildly Spectacular Cave Castle in the Granite Dells

Featured in magazines for its awe-inspiring architecture and national park-like location, the cozy, warm, luxurious, open, 2.5-story, the Wildly Spectacular Cave Castle features natural granite interior cliffs, a sheepskin rug in front of the glass view wood stove in the 25' tall open living room with radiant-heated wooden floors.

Enjoy awe-inspiringly wild views of cliffs and tall trees through the walls of windows including bay windows from the king, queen and inspirational writers desk. This dream getaway is perfect as a quiet personal or romantic retreat.

Heaven on Earth Retreat is located the end of a paved road next to 10,000 acres of beautiful parklands with a world class trail system just outside the door that leads to the retreat's pond, then nearby creek along the cliffs through forest and meadow canyons with caves and mini mountains to climb.

Located in the heart of the gorgeous Granite Dells, this quiet, private, spectacular Cave Castle is built of flagstone, love and towering naturally-colorful granite cliffs, creating a light, cave-like interior with spectacular panoramic views that can be enjoyed from every room and the flat rooftop too.

The Cave Castle also includes enjoyment of the flagstone patio-rimmed, shared, seasonal Solarium-Covered Pool just over the foot bridge between the lawn and pond, plus, the beautiful Clifftop Geodesic Dome above, ideal for yoga, meditation and relaxation.

This end-of-the-road location is a 3 minute drive to amazing Lake Magnificent (Watson Lake), 5 minutes to Prescott Airport (flights to LAX and DEN) and only 10 minutes to Prescott's charming downtown square.

This serene retreat is smoke free, pet free and drug-free. All of these amazing photos were taken on the premises. EV charging is available upon request at $30 for charges between 1 and 24 hours.

Guests enjoy exploring the area by hiking the many surrounding trails and exploring some of Prescott's seven beautiful lakes. Let us know if you'd like to reserve a Floating Yoga Adventure with our paddleboards and guide or join a Yoga Along the Trail Hike from the retreat through the forest to a creek, caves and mountaintop. Guests are welcome to rent the inflatable kayaks and paddleboards too.

Or, perhaps you'd like to master the art of doing absolutely nothing, napping in a hammock or lounging by the pool, enhancing your rejuvenation with a deeply relaxing in-house massage.

Welcome to your Wildly Spectacular Cave Castle at Heaven on Earth Retreat!

We enjoyed our stay. It is a very unique property. Lots of decks and the rock was amazing. The kitchen was stocked well and everything was super clean. The advertised pool was disappointing and the jacuzzi was not for the guests. The advertised 2 bedrooms was also disappointing. One was a futon that was not comfortable and only curtains that separated the 2 beds. It was not 2 bedrooms. It would be amazing if it was just 2 people. A beautiful spa tub and the shower was spectacular. We would stay again but not with another couple.

New Years Eve overnite stay.

We had a great overnite visit and wish we could have relaxed a couple more days there to explore the surrounding hiking trails. The home was nice and accommodations were very good.I would recommend this place to friends and family if they ever wanted to visit the Prescott area.

The rocks inside and outside the home are beyond amazing! Absolute beauty! The Jacuzzi was great, although it would have been ideal if it would have just one step or two to get in and out. The next time we come, we will stay more than one night. From the courtesy guitar and piano to the quiet and private surroundings, It was totally worth the stay. Thank you!

We were thrilled to come across this property and the owners. It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. So close to restaurants, hikes, and shopping, but nestled away to make it seem you are off the grid.

AMAZING!

Everything you could hope for! Being able to walk/hike right out the door a plus, LOVE the huge windows at the bathroom sinks. And if you need to see your beautiful self there are mirrors that come out from the sides, but looking at the scenery was so great. Peaceful. Kitchen VERY well equipped. We are also VRBO owners so we are looking at all the details! Would definitely recommend and would stay again if we come back to the area. Thanks for everything!

Had an amazing time. Truly is Heaven on Earth. The environment is so peaceful. Definitely an experience you have to try. I loved the pool and the buffing! The Cave Cavern is where we stayed. The Granite Dells were a beautiful addition to the home. Absolutely incredible. Must go to experience it yourself. We will be back!

Great spot to visit Prescott

Nice place to stay while visiting the area. We were there off season so the outdoor/lifestyle amentities were not available. The home was comfortable. Both sleeping areas are in an open loft on the second floor. The immediate area, Granite Dells, is beautiful and truly unique and worth a visit on it's own natural merits. The way the house is built into the granite face is worth a visit on it's own as well.

Relaxing Oasis!

We loved our stay at the Cave Castle in the Granite Dells! What an amazing location!! So relaxing and peaceful! The property backs up to wonderful hiking trails and amazing rock formations. There are lovely patios on EVERY side of this property allowing you to access sun, shade, wind, or no wind - whatever you want! We had fun playing board games with our 17 year old son, I love that there is no TV!! So relaxing! The sleeping accommodations are up stairs and open with no walls but there are privacy curtains... which was fine, just be ready for that. Happy and Free are so friendly but also give you your space. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely stay here if it's available!

Too many rules

This place would be perfect for someone who wants to be cooped inside of a tiny place packed into a very tight neighborhood with neighbors able to see your every move. It was described as a serene quiet place and the pictures make it seem like an oasis but it felt like quite a compacted, and claustrophobic. It didn’t feel very private. The host are restrictive with the rules and expectations. This was my first time ever renting a Vrbo so I didn’t know truly what to expect but I felt these guidelines should have been listed on the advertisement. I didn’t ask for anything in return, and left there approximately 10 minutes upon arrival. The host has not bothered to respond to my message regarding my decision to no longer stay in the property. Maybe my next attempt at renting through this app will be a better experience. I’ve definitely learned what to look for now.

Comfortable

We booked our stay late February, knowing that the temperatures may be a bit cooler, but we arrived in the middle of the snowstorm of the century! No fault of the owners, but it made for an interesting experience! The 16-18" of snow made for a magical visual throughout the area. The roads were cleared - mostly - but we were thankful we rented a 4-wheel drive vehicle. The owners reached out to us prior to arrival that day to discuss alternatives due to concern of the road conditions. After some discussion, we decided to make the trek from the Phoenix airport to the house. Our GPS had us routed the back way in. Luckily, we paused before crossing a flooded creek and called Happy for guidance. She talked us through a re-route and we arrived safely to the house. The house is very clean, spacious, and airy. The exposed granite walls are very cool - a nice touch. We were comfortable throughout our stay. The snow made for some unique challenges for the owners - they shoveled a small path from the parking spot to the house, but never cleared space around the car so we had to walk in deep snow every time we got in & out of the car, and the drive was never shoveled. We prefer to find extra towels available for use - not just two, requiring laundering each day for fresh towels. Also, we have stayed at many rentals and understand the need to place notices for renters on how the owners want things done, but there seemed to be a few extras notices posted that increased our stress level for fear of violating a rule - no shoes, short showers, etc.. But even with that, we enjoyed our stay. We had a chance to visit briefly with Happy and she is a very pleasant person to share stories. We bought one of her books on Blissful Communications (some of the posted notices may find a benefit of resting with some Blissful Communications). Although the snow was beautiful to look at, and being form Wisconsin not an issue for us to drive in, we wish we had an opportunity to experience the grounds fully without the snow, and would consider coming back another time of the year to do just that. The neighbor is gorgeous. We found th elocation great for visits to the Grand Canyon, Sedona (in the snow) and to Phoenix.
