About this house rental
Welcome to Casa Linda! We invite you to enjoy this beautiful home in the perfect location, close to big-city attractions without being in the middle of big-city traffic.
Our home is conveniently located in the center of Cave Creek, a unique and historic little Western town on the edge of north Scottsdale. We are located at the base of Black Mountain one block from the Black Mountain hiking trailhead, and one block from the cute and unique boutiques and shops in the western themed plaza at Frontier Town.
From here, it's an easy walk to venues in the "heart" of Cave Creek. Walk to one of several coffee shops down the street for your morning coffee. El Encanto Mexican restaurant, Coyote BBQ, and Stumblinas Cantina are a block away. Big Earls hamburgers, The Grotto, Janeys Coffee & Bodega, Local Johnny's and many others are within easy walking distance. Harrolds Corral, Roadhouse, The Hideaway, and Buffalo Chip are right down the street for country western dancing so bring your boots! At Buffalo Chip you can experience live professional rodeos! And don't forget the many art festivals in the area such as the Thunderbird Art Festival, numerous arts and crafts festivals, and the lovely year-round farmers market every Friday.
The house sleeps 4. There is a king bed in the master, and a queen bed in the second bedroom. The utility room has full-size washer/dryer. For some relaxing down time, the living room and both bedrooms are equipped with large flat-screen TVS that include NETFLIX, HULU PLUS, MAX, AMAZON PRIME, ESPN, DISNEY.
Enjoy the views from the patios that surround the home, including a covered front porch sitting area with unique Spanish style arches. The private pool has outdoor furniture, gas grill, and some stellar views of both the city below and mountains around it. AND... the pool is equipped with a pool heater as an option for colder seasons!
If golf is your thing, we are five minutes from the world-famous Boulders and Rancho Manana golf resorts, plus too many others to list; after all, this is the golfing capital of the country! We are also conveniently located for shop-till-you-drop trips to Desert Ridge, Kierlands, City North, High Street, and Scottsdale malls, plus hundreds of shopping centers and upscale boutiques and spas.
Many major sporting and other events take place in this area, such as the Barrett Jackson Auction, Arabian Horse show, the Waste Management Golf Tournament and Birds Nest events, and baseball Spring Training camps. State Farm Stadium and Cardinal Stadium are 35 min away
Nature lovers will appreciate the Tonto National Forest that Cave Creek borders, plus easy access to beautiful mountains, hiking, breathtaking scenery, nature excursions, and day trips to Sedona.
You definitely won't run out of things to do here. The only problem you might have is ... you won't want to leave!
HEATED POOL INFO: extra $300/monthly or $25/day to heat the pool during your stay, paid in a separate payment 3 days or more before arrival.

This house exceeded all of our expectations. We book a lot of VRBO places and none of them measured up to this house. The place was super clean...not a speck of dirt or dust anywhere. The kitchen was FULLY stocked (too many other VRBO places claim that but are usually lacking in supplies). Every pot, utensil, and appliance was available. The house was very comfortable. The air conditioning worked beautifully, keeping us cool in the hot Arizona desert, The pool was sparkling clean with comfortable lounge chairs available. The house was situation a little higher than the street which allowed us to have a good view of the surrounding area. It was a very quiet area of the town. The main street of Cave Creek is a mere two blocks away, close to restaurants, souvenir shops, and a great ice cream shop! To us, this has become a place to return to!

This is the second time I have stayed at this property. Linda is an excellent person to work with, and is very considerate and has great communication. The location is perfect for me because I’m close to all the things I enjoy in the Cave Creek and Carefree area. An extra bonus is that, many things are within walking distance. For part of the time I was there by myself until my husband joined me and I felt very safe being there. I enjoy this home so much that I have already reserved it for next year. I highly recommend this property.

Great stay! A+++
A home away from home! The location cannot be beat, and Mountain View’s outside every window. Bed super comfortable. Slept really well here! Very well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels/linens.
Linda was super responsive when we couldn’t get the grill to work, even buying/bringing over a new one within 24 hours!
Nearby, recommend Z house of Thai and The SpottedDonkey.

Perfect Desert Holiday HQ!
I stayed here with my husband, in-laws, and 2 kids (2yrs old in pack-n-play; and 3yr old). I love Cave Creek and this is place has tremendous location, views and a cute pool to enhance any Cave Creek visit! The property is very clean, has everything you need (think kitchen items...down to coffee filters and basic spices for cooking at home). Theater bedroom suite is giant and the whole house stays very cool (even at end of May) and offers multiple places to sit outside and enjoy various views throughout the day. It is not the fanciest spot in the world, but frankly, when traveling with tiny humans and a small dog, it takes the pressure off because it is easily maintained and tile floors throughout! Love this place, will definitely stay again!!!

Quaint Little Cottage
This is a great little cottage one block from Cave Creek main street. The location is amazing, just a couple of minutes walk to the restuarants and bars, plus a short walk over to Black mountain trail.
The house is old, but very well decorated with cute southwest art throughout. The back patio and pool area was my favorite, with great views of the surrounding mountains.
Linda was very helpful with recommendations for activities and dining.

Short walk to town
We had a great time, and really enjoyed the location. The pool was a definite bonus. Had some communication with the property owner and she was super helpful and prompt with her response. We will look to stay again.

Overall we loved our stay!
Our stay was really wonderful and we created family memories that I'm certain our kids will always remember. Linda was great to communicate with which is always reassuring when staying in a VRBO. The location was excellent walking distance to Cave Creek. Shopping was just Ok depending on your shopping preferences (if you like southwestern wear and home decor you will be in heaven, if you are looking for something more mainstream for shopping you will have to get in the car). Access to Black Mountain was amazing to be able to go out the door and get a hike in. Our only complaint was the extremely cold pool...we are from the Midwest and used to cold pools but this felt extra cold with the sun being so hot on your skin. The house truly was very well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and laundry. I appreciated that the extra toilet paper and other necessities were available for use and not locked up. The place had plenty of space for our family of 4 (probably more space than we even needed). It could have been slightly cleaner but that is really my only (very mild) complaint for the house. The price is right and location is also wonderful if you are looking to be away from the business of Scottsdale and Phoenix. You won't regret it.

Cozy and Convenient
Darling two bedroom, one block off of Cave Creek main road! Comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully appointed. We were sad to leave - it felt like home. Very special place!

Wonderful Place
This place was truly a home away from home. We stayed here for a month. We chose the location specifically because of its proximity to Cave Creek and Carefree. We were literally steps away from everything those two towns have to offer. Yet, it was quiet and peaceful and relaxing too. It’s a 5 minute car ride from fantastic hiking at Spur Cross and golf at Rancho Manana! The place is also surprisingly spacious, so you never feel like you are on top of each other. I highly recommend this VRBO rental and hope to be able to stay there again soon.

Great Experience!
Everything was perfect! Linda's original southwest style home was clean, charming, and very comfortable. The pool-deck had great views & plenty of sunshine. The location made for an easy stroll to downtown Cave Creek. The kitchen was well stocked & the pool was a welcomed relief after hiking & biking. Would highly recommend. Thanks Linda!

Cave Creek Linda Lane
Excellent Cave Creek AZ rental! The house is so comfortable and well equipped/stocked for our 2+week stay. The quiet location is 1block from Main Street Cave Creek! We walked to eat & shop each visit. The pool and lounge chairs were so enjoyable during the very hot stay. We also enjoyed the covered porch to the pool for nice outdoor shade. We used the gas grill many nights for cooking. It sure felt like a vacation, home away from home. Cave Creek is such a fun modern/cowboy style of town. It is located 4.5 miles from the Spur Cross Conservation area & Tonto National Forest for great hiking. There is also a very steep mountain climb next to the house, no driving to necessary. It is 1 mile to Rancho Manana golf course. Very fun stay!

Perfect location
This charming house was just right! The location is incredible for accessing Frontier Town, all Cave Creek Road entertainment, and a quick walk down the street from the Black Mountain Summit trailhead. The pool is well maintained and has an inviting back patio for relaxing and grilling out. Loved our stay here!

Such a relaxing time
We had a wonderful stay. The views, the pool and the house was super comfortable for all of us. We were there for a couple weeks and Linda’s place grew on us so much we didn’t want to leave.
I have no complaints!

Great place & location
The pictures do not do this property justice! The master suite is huge and gives you a "at home" feeling you just aren't going to get staying in a smaller room. Pool area was a favorite for our crew and walking into town was something we did often!

Fantastic stay
This property was lovely and was so well equipped the owner had literally thought of everything, especially kitchen ware. The kettle was a really nice bonus so that we could have cups of tea.
The location was fantastic and was only a two minute walk to Frontier Town in Cave Creek. We had no issues at all, everything worked as it should.
Would we stay again, yes we would.

Great location, within walking distance to shops, restaurants and hiking trails. Plenty of room to sleep 5 people. Kitchen was well stocked. Loved sitting on the front porch looking at the mountain view. The kitchen table and floors were a bit dirty, but overall a fun vacation for us!

Best location in Cave Creek
Walk to all the best restaurants and bars in Cave Creek with golf nearly across the street. The house is on a quiet street on a hill with a great views of sunsets from the front porch. Older southwest style home has a lot of charm with desert type landscaping.

Excellent home and vacation resort!
We traveled to LInda's home in late April. Found the accomodations to be EXCELLENT- everything we needed for a small group of 4 ladies to relax, enjoy the scenery as well as swim in the pool! This is such a nice wonderful area for relaxing, shopping and a short trip to Sedona. I would highly recommend this area- great restaurants, country western dancing and entertainment. 5 STARS from all of us!
