Rio Verde Foothills House | Serene & Secluded, Heart of the Sonoran Desert, 62 Acre EcoRanch on Natl Forest

1 Bedroom House in Rio Verde Foothills, Scottsdale

Recognized by Million Mile Magazine as one of the top 10 "Most Unbelievable Places to Celebrate Airbnb's 10th Anniversary" and awarded LUX Magazine's 2020 "Most Serene Desert Accommodation & Horse Boarding Facility- Southwest USA!" Additionally, VRBO selected Rio Rancho Verde (one of 5 vacation rentals out of 3500 in Scottsdale) for a YouTube promotional video, and we've been featured on both a Hulu series special and a Western film production. Rio Rancho Verde offers an amazingly unique Arizona experience, far from the maddening crowds! This exclusive horse ranch/boarding facility is nestled in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, only 20 - 25 minutes from Scottsdale. Our property sits on the border of the Tonto National Forest, and is the perfect authentic Western adventure. Enjoy an upscale ranch experience and discover the inner operations of an exclusive horse boarding facility, just a short distance from Scottsdale. You can experience the "behind the scenes" day to day operations of ranch management and barn maintenance, help us feed the horses carrots from the garden, take a roping lesson from our on-site expert (no cows involved!), sign up for manure management or rent a trusty steed at the stables down the road. Our spacious, luxury travel trailer offers designer décor with a combination of upscale Southwestern and Western furnishings and accessories, with all the amenities. Over 500 square feet of open floor plan, complete with fireplace, separate bedroom and bathroom, huge shower, full kitchen with island, big screen TV, Barcaloungers, queen size bed, huge closet space, additional pull out sofa bed, AC and heat, dining area (seats 6) and your own private spot that faces the Four Peaks Wilderness area. Enjoy cocktails as you watch the sun set and turn the skies crimson, take your morning coffee down to the barn while the horses wait for their breakfast or enjoy the sky full of stars over dinner on your own private patio. We're the perfect destination for hiking, biking and exploring right out of our back gate - we're situated 1/2 mile from the Scottsdale McDowell Sonoran Preserve, which offers 32,000 acres and over 215 miles of trail to explore. Or, just relax and refresh while enjoying a glass of wine as you watch the spectacular sunsets on the ridge overlooking the mountain peaks and desert vistas. We're secluded and surrounded by the most amazing mountain views, saguaro cactus and Sonoran Desert scenery and offer a relaxing alternative to the fast pace of city life. The night skies are filled with stars and you're sure to hear a coyote or two howling in the distance. Take a side trip to the Verde River (9 miles) and keep an eye out for the wild horses that call this area home. There's a stable down the road where you can rent horses, and we can have mountain bikes delivered to the ranch for you. We're committed to an Eco-Ranch lifestyle and are committed to sustainability, being mindful of the ecology in which we live and embracing the environment that surrounds us. We have an organic garden on site and you're welcome to help yourselves to the vegetables we grow. Reduce, reuse, recycle and re-purpose! It's an amazing beautiful site, far enough out that you'll feel like you're in the middle of nowhere but only 25 minutes from Scottsdale and fine dining, galleries, shops and nightlife. Please note that we board horses and the owners are on site with them. We also have 2 other short term rentals, so there are other guests on property. Come join us at Rio Rancho Verde! If the travel trailer package is not available please see our other listings at VRBO 652267 or VRBO 763667. We hope to see you at Rio Rancho Verde!

Summary: We so enjoyed our visit to your beautiful place. We ended up not sightseeing as much so we could enjoy the place. Loved watching the horses everyday and feeding them carrots. It was so nice taking walks and enjoying the scenery all around the place. I went to Arizona hoping to at least see a roadrunner while here and I did. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful place with us and our dogs. Colleen & Dick
