I really enjoyed my stay at this home. Itâs within walking distance to Cave Creek shops & restaurants, but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The place is much larger than the pictures show & it has ample outdoor area to enjoy the nice weather.
Great place to stay in the small town of Cave Creek on the north edge of the Phoenix metro area!We were in AZ to attend the wedding of one of my nephews at the Desert Foothills Events and Weddings facility on the north side of Scottsdale, and Turtle House was a short drive away.
A beautiful home with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. We had us and our wedding party stay during our wedding weekend. It was magical place that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you for sharing your home for our special weekend.
We had such an amazing time here! The decor and art made it so inviting and comfy. Loved all the separate areas to gather in. We were outside on the patios all the time. The front courtyard was great at night with the fire pit. We loved the place.
Had 3 bedrooms that were very nice. The host is amazing to work with. The property was located in the back. Lots of privacy, spacious home and beautiful views. Close Uber ride to town town.
Plus: comfortable beds and outdoor seating
Minus: property seemed somewhat neglected - random cooking equipment, some unusable because of burned in food/grease. Main bedroom has no shades for privacy or darkness and nowhere to put clothes. The roof leaked while we were there and it was never addressed by the property manager. We still give it a 4 but someone needs to spend a couple of hours going through every cupboard and checking all the bedding.
A spacious, relaxing, beautiful and quirky home with plenty of room for the entire family to be together and apart. We loved dining on the back deck and enjoying the cool mornings and evenings. This house embodies southwest aesthetics and has a fascinating history. Check out the books by and about the previous owners that are available in the home.
Close to hiking paths and a regional park, a great home for those who love to hike or ride horses amongst cacti!
Enjoyed the house and the location. Great hiking is just a few miles behind the house, bars and restaurants are around the corner, and golf at Rancho Manana is around the other
corner. Excellent communication. We would come back again.
We thoroughly enjoyed the property, it's rich history, and everything we did while in Arizona. Be sure to visit the Jewel of the Creek, which is only a few minutes from the property.
I cannot recommend this house enough. With COVID happening, it was the perfect staycation for Christmas with lots to do without leaving the house itself and a very cozy and welcoming feel. Amazing breakfast views, brisk walks around the property and fires in the fire pit every night. I canât wait to book this house again next year.
We enjoyed our stay at the Turtle House, it was very clean and comfortable, the location was convenient to restaurants and shopping and I loved learning about the unique history of the home.

walking distance to cave creek, original home built in the 30's, has the "old"AZ feel. the views and property represent the majestic Sonoran Desert at its finest.
