Come stay in the lap of luxury "Western Style". From the moment you enter the property grounds you will be struck by the natural beauty of your surroundings. From the babbling stream to the lush plantings you will want to spend time here. Enter this designer home furnished with upgrades galore.

The gourmet kitchen boasts all Viking appliances, granite counter tops furniture-like cabinetry. Decorated with antiques, western decor and saddles. Enjoy your meal next to the gas fireplace.

Enter the well appointed living room with expansive views of the forest. Relax in front of the 48" TV and enjoy another gas fireplace.

The Master bedroom is a true retreat to the Saltillo tiled and decorated for a genuine western experience. Upon entering you will be in a sitting area with 42" flat screen TV and bee hive gas fireplace, down two steps to the king bed that over looks the forest as well. Savor your cup of coffee while viewing nature first-hand at the table and enjoy the solitude.

The bathrooms are exquisitely appointed. Mexican tile in the master with a claw foot tub and marble bowl and counter top in the unique powder room.

The other bedrooms are equally as nice, outfitted with a queen, double and twin.

There is a gas barbeque and Kiva fireplace and table for your outdoor dining pleasure on the lower patio/pool area.

There is a two bedroom self contained casita (guest house) available as well - just ask. This can be rented separately from the main house.

The horse set up means you can saddle up your favorite pony and ride the more than 5 million acres of the Tonto National Forest we border. Access it directly from the mare motel. Plenty of space to park you horse trailer/s, RVs, boats or Quad trailers.

If you don't "cotton" to riding horses, ride your ATVs, hike or mountain bike to the near by petroglyphs.

About Jim Humphrey

I built this home for my family. The kids are grown and we are ready to share it with visitors who can appreciate the seclusion and unique views of the Sonoran desert. From here we enjoy walks on the desert, Indian ruins and petroglyphs, and all a major metropolitan center has to offer with 20 minutes or so.

Why Jim Humphrey chose Cave Creek

We were looking for a special place to build, on the edge of the desert in the Cave Creek area. We sent out 20 letters to land owners with property on the edge of the national forest and one owner responded, who had ten acres he would sell. Over the years I have enjoyed creating a desert oasis where the birds and wildlife come to feed and water. It is a unique location that any nature lover is sure to enjoy. There is a huge selection of native plants, cactus and trees surrounding the home and casita.

What makes this house unique

This is our home. We have enjoyed it every day of the last 15 years. When we have visitors, we know they are enjoying the seclusion, the views and the wildlife as well as the pleasures of the house itself.

A Heavenly Slice of Life

Submitted: April 23, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
This was an excellent experience as the home was in perfect order and so well stocked! Jim, the owner, was responsive and patient to our numerous questions. He was easy to work with during the entire rental process.The trip was a perfect combination of relaxation and exploration. The area is an easy drive to sites in the Verde Valley as well as Sedona. The area is surrounded by lakes and hiking trails in the Tonto National Forest. Morning greeted us with a chorus of doves, Gambel's quail, various songbirds, and toads. The sight of the desert flora in the surrounding forest, amazing desert landscaping, birds bathing in the waterfall and dining at feeders, and the infinity edged pool was awesome. The house is well decorated with authentic Native American pieces that are truly museum quality and exquisite western antiques. Everything about this rental and trip was perfect and fun! Sunshine everyday was SO welcome! We can't wait to return again someday...

My husband & his friend stayed at the Casita in October and they couldn't say enough positive things about the home & grounds. This got me more & more excited for our short visit this December. When we arrived, and I first walked through the gate, I thought I was in a private paradise! So BEAUTIFUL!
The inside of the home was equally as beautiful! I wish I was staying a month! The windows, overlooking the Tonto... We were lucky enough to have a full moon during our stay. It was so peaceful, with the reflection on the desert & all over the stars, just can't explain.
What a wonderful, accomandating man, Jim is too. Thank you!
So looking forward to our visit in June!

Swimming in an outdoor pool in April was a special treat for the girls. We also want to thank you for your prompt assistance when we first arrived. It was a pleasure to meet you. My youngest said you were the first real cowboy she'd ever met. With the help of your maps we were able to locate the petroglyphs and the girls were able to recognize some of the same symbols they saw ay the Heard Museum. Your kindness was greatly appreciated.

We are extremely grateful for the time we were able to spend at your spectular Tonto Forest Ranch. Hiking through the national forest, admiring your beautiful garden (and watching the birds enjoy it too) and discovering your amazing collection of artifacts made our experience very memorable. Your home, inside and out, is truly a treasure! After returning from day trips to museums and botinical gardens, we fely like we were living in our own museum and beautiful garden

An adolescent golden eagle spent some time with us - overseeing the garden, allowing us time to identify and admire his majectic magnificence. We have so many memories. Friends and family have shared this time with us - staying here or just joining us for dinner. Tomorrow we return to Evergreen, CO. and carry with us the beautiful memories of this place-forever in our hearts. Thank you..Always R & R
