Everything was perfect! Absolutely beautiful property (outside and inside), impeccably clean, every detail was considered and we were so comfortable here. Property managers were very easy to reach and friendly. I hope to stay here again!

Stay here! The online pictures are nice but don't do it justice. This place is immaculate and well decorated. A home away from home with all the amenities. Donkeys to welcome you. View from bedroom window amazing. Hiking right there. Away from the hustle & bustle of the city. Easy drive to Sedona, just 3 hours from Grand Canyon. We have stayed in VRBO's where we had to purchase toilet paper, etc. We purchased nothing...it was all here! Dan & Sue are lovely. Highly recommend.

It was the perfect setting! Very tranquil and as my husband said it "realigns you". We loved the Casita and the donkeys. Susan and Dan thought of everything that you can possibly need during your stay. We will definitely be back!

The Casita exceeded our expectations and was a great location for experiencing Arizona for the first time. We only had a few days, so the location was important. Getting there from the airport was easy and not stressful. Once there, the Casita had everything we wanted and then some.

True to its description, this place is an absolute gem. We had such a wonderful experience staying here. Highly recommend!

We have stayed with Susan and Dan at their Casita 3 times. Go, experience for yourself the tranquility, only broken at feeding time by happy donkeys. The place is as clean and well appointed as any a vacation renter could hope to find. This is how VRBO is supposed to be experienced. Check in and out is as easy as one could wish for. Have as little or as much contact with your hosts as you desire. They are friendly and helpful without being a bit intrusive. Thanks again! Bonnie and Diana

Everything you need already stocked for you! Owners went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. The thoughtfulness and details make this place stand out. Susan and Dan should write a “how to” book on how to successfully set up the best VRBO experience. Many thanks!

We were completely blown away with the amenities this Casita offered! You literally need NOTHING but food since you have every single dish, utensils, cookware, spices, coffee, creamer, coffee, filters, dish soap, first aid kit, towels, toiletries, blankets, linens, board games, robes, pillows, Kleenex, etc. Seriously, the list goes on and on!! The amenities offered go well above and beyond all expectations imaginable! Susan and Dan are such gracious hosts and they are super accommodating. The donkeys are super adorable and so much fun to watch and feed carrots to. We had so much fun petting them and feeding them daily since it was just so cathartic. The wildlife was amazing to see since there were jackrabbits running all around and quite a bit of quail as well. Freda's Casita is just simply a favorite and we would most definitely return here again when we visit AZ again!!

This was the best place! Away from it all yet close to everything. Susan and Dan were the most accommodating hosts supplying everything we needed and more. We loved watching the donkeys and having them greet us when we came home. Don’t hesitate to book this place!!

The perfect home base for hiking, exploring and sight seeing. Everything you need is close by and there is no noise or lights from Phoenix. The host were amazing with communication and what things to go and do. The hike right outside the property was a wonderful way to end our stay there.

Property was amazing. Donkeys were cute! House was perfect. Thanks again for balloon and birthday gift!!!

The casita was squeaky clean and beautifully decorated, with such special unexpected touches, such as water and snacks and little chocolates. Susan and Dan were the perfect hosts--super-responsive and so friendly when we had questions, but they respected our privacy. The property was just what we were hoping for, with little seating areas strategically placed so that we could enjoy our morning coffee and watch the sun rise over the desert and relax outside in the evening to watch the sun disappear. There are hiking trails out the door, and we followed one through quintessential desert terrain and to the top of a small hill we could see the casita in the distance. The donkeys kept us entertained. The property was ideally located, so that we were remote enough to see a sky full of stars (and even the Starlink satellite train--twice!), yet close enough that we were able to get to Sedona, Prescott, and Cave Creek during our all-too-short three-day stay. Can't say enough. 5 stars all around! Thank you, Susan and Dan!

We were beyond pleased with the Casita, grounds and hosts. Susan and Dan were pleasant and helpful. I have been around folks that work with the BLM taming and caring for donkeys and horses. I haven’t seen a cleaner or more thoughtful set up.These folks are proud of their place and their work with the critters and it shows in every thoughtful detail. We booked our next stay within a week or so of our last! We are happy to be returning to Az to visit old and new friends. They have a friendly cat that is happy to show off his swimming pool late at night to guests seeking solace and starlight. The pool is divine at night and in the mornings. A bit too hot right now for midday enjoyment, but soon…

Amazing place, amazing time! Such a comfortable place with beautiful views!

It was a wonderful home away from home. The owners could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They have donkeys on the property and shared with our family an experience of feeding them treats. They also had a 4 day old baby donkey! Thank you for hosting us, Ann and Jerry

Nice private location. Sue and Dan are great hosts. Casita is well appointed and very comfortable.

Freda’s Casita is such an incredible vacation property. Beautifully decorated and appointed space spotlessly clean and in an idyllic rural setting with burros and horses in property. There is a lovely pool on site situated with cactus and mountain vistas so beautiful they almost seem like a movie backdrop. There is also a hot tub in a private courtyard space as well. The casita is situated within an easy drive of countless Arizona towns perfect for a day trip. We visited Prescott, Sedona, and Cave Creek during this visit and plan to visit Jerome, Cottonwood, and maybe Flagstaff on our next trip, The hosts, Susan and Dan, have thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable and pampered! Highly recommend!

Was just as described. Highly recommend.

Susan and Dan were fantastic and gracious hosts. The casita was spotless and fully stocked. We fell in love with the Donkeys! Overall, a great stay.

This property is beautiful, clean, peaceful, private, and relaxing. Everything is modern, aesthetically pleasing, well-stocked, and immaculately kept. Susan and Dan are attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely kind hosts who went out of their way to make our stay perfect every step of the way. This property is 35 minutes north of PHX Sky Harbor International Airport; for anyone who wants the convenience of being close to PHX without actually being in it, this location is perfection. You get the quiet, relaxing vibes of the mountains and the desert, dark skies at night, and many hiking, climbing, and outdoor recreation opportunities nearby. The pool and private hot tub are wonderful. The animals on the property--burros and mustangs--are beautiful, and their quiet presence was unexpectedly soothing.

Frieda’s Casita is cozy, comfortable and feels just like home. Absolutely everything is provided and then some, from awesome bed, fluffy towels and fully stocked kitchen, to fuzzy robes and yummy snacks. We loved coming back to this place after exploring the trails or visiting downtown Phoenix. The casita borders public land and we went birdwatching out there. It’s easy to get to and super well-maintained. Hosts are responsive and hospitable. Loved our stay here!

We had a fantastic stay! The casita was very clean and well appointed and Susan and Dan are great hosts. We took a couple of great hikes right out the back door. We would definitely stay here again!

We have stayed in the Phoenix metro area several times, so were looking to get a little further out and see what “real life” is like…and this casita was the perfect place!! Great location if you are planning any trips north and fun local restaurants like The Roadrunner Saloon with real bullriding! Susan was a fantastic host and the casita is perfection. Lots of thoughtful items present like sunscreen (we always forget to pack it!) Super comfortable accommodations 1 we would definitely stay again!

We had the privilege of spending a week in this beautiful place. The space was beautifully decorated, so welcoming and exceeded our expectations! Being out in the desert was a special added bonus. I truly wanted to redecorate my house when we got home. Susan and Dan thought of every detail and we felt right at home. The donkeys that greeted us every day we’re a most welcomed bonus! We will definitely be back! Mike & Peggy NJ

We loved Susan and Dan's casita. They have thought of everything one could possibly need for a comfortable stay. For example, my husband was worried about having to find the washroom in the dark - I said, "Look in the drawer. I bet they have a flashlight there." Sure enough, both bedside tables had flashlights. I wasn't surprised at all. The casita is comfortable and elegant with a convenient kitchen and several eating areas. The pool is divine, especially on the 100 + degree AZ summer days. We spent most of our time just lounging by the pool and watching their donkeys play. The experience was wonderful as we had never met donkeys before, and they are delightful, gentle creatures! Susan and Dan are very kind and made us feel welcome without interrupting our privacy - they let you know they are there for anything you may need, but we still felt like we had the whole property to ourselves. They are a wonderful couple and excellent hosts. We hope to return. If you are reading this review wondering if you should book, don't hesitate, just do it! You will not regret your experience in New River at Freida's Casita!

Couldn't be better. Hosts do everything possible to make your stay pleasant. The home and anemities could be better. Location was great. Perfect stay.

Best VRBO ever! Very unique property, serene, beautiful, welcoming, and better stocked with supplies than my own home! Beautifully remodeled 1br, awesome bathroom and shower, hot tub, pool, fire pit, grill, private patio. Bottom line is you feel like you are lost in the country, but you are only minutes from all the shopping and other amenities you could want down in Anthem. Sue and Dan are awesome and makes it feel like your little paradise. The horses, donkeys and of course Trigger (the lab) all add to the ambiance. They even provided a basket of treats which we enjoyed immensely! Thank you Sue and Dan for an awesome visit. Hope to see you guys again soon!

On our yearly early spring trip we always need a special place to take refuge for a few days and this was the perfect place. no , changes needed,everything was great. Thankyou

This is such a cute place with beautiful views! Very relaxing for a staycation. Hot tub was awesome. They have animals and I loved it! Not too far from restaurants either!

Freda's Casita is a beautiful treasure tucked on the edge of wild desert beauty and picturesque terrain. It is outside the chaos of the city, but a great launch point to many day adventures; atv rental (awesome!), shopping, yummy restaurants and beautiful destination drives (incl. wine tasting & Indian ruins). If you are looking for a place to rest, the casita and surroundings are tranquil and peaceful. The casista itself is lavishly appointed with many thoughtful amenities. It is exceptionally clean and beautifully furnished and decorated. The nearby, residing burros are sweet creatures. Dan and Susan are unparalled hosts. They are warm, gracious, friendly, patient and extremely attentive to their guest's needs (and their communication is excellent too). Freda's Casita is a slice of Eden in God's country. We will be back.

What a pretty place! The weather was amazing and we loved sitting out back drinking coffee in the morning while the donkeys said hello! The extra special little things made it so inviting, from the luxury bathroom towels, to the basket of snacks, to the coffee and creamer. Very clean, beautifully decorated, we felt so at home. Even though the casita was attached to the main home, it was private and Susan and Dan were so friendly and welcoming, but very respectful of privacy. Even though we had to drive to see the sights, it was always nice to come back to The house! It was the perfect trip!!!

This was the most well stocked and clean home we have ever stayed in. Sue thought of everything - and more! The views out back of the house were stunning, especially at sunrise. We loved watching and petting the donkeys and horses. The property was perfect- not far from the interstate yet peaceful and quiet away from town. It was a perfect stay to celebrate our anniversary!
