Surrounded by mountains, the tranquility of the desert help to make this vacation get-away the perfect place to relax and enjoy.
Two large windows allow plenty of natural sunlight in, with a beautiful view of the Superstition Mountains.
The separate bathroom is home to a large, custom tiled shower. The living area includes a bookcase (lots of books, DVDs and games), loveseat, two chairs, a smart TV and DVD player, closet, and a storage cabinet. Outside, an outdoor patio and barbeque area are on the main level, and an awesome viewing deck above provides the perfect setting for a glass of wine at the end of the day.
There’s plenty to cook with including a microwave oven, electric burner, skillet, convection oven, pans, crock pot, coffee pot, and toaster. All cooking utensils, plates, glasses, etc., are included.
There is a working tile and pottery on site, so be sure and ask for a tour! You can check out more of the artwork at

NotesThis is a one acre desert property that includes our own house, as well as the studio, a separate building. The studio is the vacation rental, and a pottery is on the other side of the studio.
Saguaro lake is a 20 minute drive from the property. They have boat rentals available as well as fishing supplies. If you're lucky, you might even get a glimpse of the wild horses that roam the area round the lake!
Walk to Usery Mountain from the studio. We have hiking sticks made from saguaro ribs that you can use, as well as water bottles and fanny packs.
If Chip, the owner, is throwing pottery during your stay, you can watch or maybe even join him! He's also very resourceful when it comes to the surrounding hiking areas, as well as the desert wildlife. You can see some of his work on his website at chivesta.com.
For more information about the wild horses, visit the Salt River Wild Horse Management website at https://saltriverwildhorsemanagementgroup.org/
