The house had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay. A/C. Well fitted out kitchen. We brought our own food because grocery stores are limited in this area. It is located 15-30 minutes from all the excellent birding across the border in Arizona (Portal and Paradise).

Peaceful Refuge I felt so at ease in this home surrounded by distant mountains. Everything I needed was provided. Loved the quiet on the sunny porch. Then there was the bonus of John sharing the night sky with his telescope and vast knowledge. Wish I could have stayed longer.

Everything you need Valley Vista Getaway provided us with everything we needed for a long weekend of hiking the Chiricahua Mountains. The VRBO listing for the property is exactly accurate. The cabin has a well-equipped kitchen so we cooked meals easily with food we brought in from Tucson. The bedroom was comfortable, and we had excellent sleeps under the dark skies. Cathy and John are responsive and amiable while also respecting our space. If you want a quiet weekend with easy access to the Chiricahuas this is your place.
