The view from a parking lot near Tortilla Flats in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix, AZ.
Outside the smallest museum you’ll ever see in probably the smallest town you’ll ever find. Tortilla Flats is a town with only 6 residents and it sits on AZ Rt 88 maybe 2 miles before the paved road becomes a dirt road. This town has a gift store, a little country store, a restaurant, and a tiny museum and not much else. Most people who stop here are working their way along the Apache Loop Trail, which starts in Apache Junction, AZ. Take Rt 88 northeast all the way to Roosevelt Lake then take Rt 188 southeast to Globe and then west back to Apache Junction or all the way back to Phoenix. It’s a gorgeous drive and despite a large part of it being dirt roads, you don’t need a 4x4 to drive it. Tons of camping and hiking areas all along this route. Not sure what this area looks like after the Woodbury Fire though.

Home was very nice. Kitchen area was perfect. The body wash and conditioner was empty but that was the only thing. Oh and I wish breakfast was included.

The room was perfectly clean and stocked with snacks and coffee pods. Communicating with the host through VRBO site worked flawlessly. Never waited for a response for more than a minute or two. Place was quiet and private and I would say the only trade-off for the privacy is that there is a 5 foot ...

This was a great stay for our large group. The host was very responsive and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. Highly recommend getting the pool heated as it was a big hit for our group. Would love to come back and stay at this property in the future.

The host was very accomodating. The house was perfect for 14 of us. Loved having the pool, hot tub, and mini golf. The pool and spa cannot heat at the same time. And we used the slide minimally as it was a little loud and the water going back into the pool cools it down faster. Would recommend a ...
