1 Bedroom House in Mountain Bridge, Mesa

Private 2.5-Acre Retreat with Pool, Train & Tortoises
Escape to a private desert casita on 2.5 acres with palms, aloe, and mountain views. Enjoy a pool, hot tub, playground, grill, patio, and even a child-sized train. Inside, find a newly remodeled space with two queen beds, sofa bed, full kitchen, and washer/dryer. A family of red-foot tortoises lives onsite & loves leftover veggies! With its quiet setting, private entrance, and incredible stargazing, this is a one-of-a-kind Arizona retreat. Just three houses from the vast Tonto National Forest—larger than Yellowstone—you’ll feel immersed in the Arizona wilderness while still enjoying the comforts of home.
The property is alive with nature. In spring, hummingbirds flock to the thousands of aloe vera blooms and will often zip right up to greet you—sometimes even following guests around the garden. At night, you may hear coyotes howling in the distance, while javelinas, desert quail, and other native creatures wander across the land. For those who love adventure, bring a blacklight and discover the glowing scorpions that make their home in the desert.
The grounds are lush with life: over 300 palms create a tropical oasis around the sparkling, fenced pool—ranging from towering California palms to rare and exotic varieties. Cacti, succulents, and flowering plants add to the beauty, while a living ocotillo fence frames the casita. In winter, you’re welcome to pick fresh citrus straight from our lemon, orange, and grapefruit trees.
Almost completely surrounded by mountains, the property offers sweeping views and an unmatched sense of privacy. This is not a subdivision—you’ll discover the quiet, unspoiled spirit of old Arizona here, with the desert and its wildlife as your closest neighbors.

Robin B. Jun 8, 2025 11:20:11 PM

Vanessa F. Jun 4, 2025 05:15:28 AM
Summary: My partner and I had a great stay with Andrew. The location was good, and we really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. It was fun seeing wildlife around the property, and the place had a lot of unique character. The only downside was that the shower was very small—my partner is large and he could not fit comfortably. He had to do some sink bathing.
Joshua W. May 29, 2025 09:00:31 PM
Summary: Like the title says. Will definately be back if they continue to share this place. Highly recommend if youre looking for a private quite oasis!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Nicole S. May 19, 2025 08:40:25 PM
Summary: Very enjoyable stay. Mom’s needing a quick getaway, we were not disappointed. Description was accurate. It was a cute casita. Plenty of space and great air conditioning. It’s Arizona so very much appreciated. The actual property was very fun to explore. We experienced wild life throughout the day and night. Super cool. The pool water was nice. I guess my only suggestion would be to have your in pool table fixed up. Other than that it was pretty perfect. The evening backdrop made for beautiful pictures. For locals that know,,, this is super close to the salt river which is a summer must. I would recommend to friends :)

Summary: We were here to visit family in Apache Junction and the Casita was 5.5 miled away. It's in a beautiful location at the base of the hills. The Casita was perfect for our needs and clean. The beds were very comfortable! The citrus trees and cactus on the property are beautiful, as well as the brick work and play area for children. We will definitely stay again on our next visit.
Diane R. Dec 30, 2024 05:27:43 AM
Summary: Great place to stay with all the hiking, biking, fishing, and outdoor activities you could ever want nearby. We found all the amenities we needed in the Casita, and enjoyed our time here.
Wendy H. Dec 11, 2024 01:38:28 AM
Summary: Great experience with my stay, my doggies loved it and it was nice for one person. Lots of critters around the property. Couldn't tell if the hot tub was operational but I didn't end up using it. A bit small, the shower especially, for more than one person to stay. Pool wasn't heated. But I would stay here again. I intended to use the grill but got too busy. Love this area of Arizona!
Danya Dec 3, 2024 08:27:16 AM
Summary: This was so fun and perfect for my kids who really enjoyed the tortoises, pool and train. It’s usually a struggle to keep them busy and this was fantastic. Communication was quick and easy, location was perfect near shopping for essentials. My husband and I and two kids never felt cramped, and the casita was stocked with all the things we needed. We will definitely be back!
