Rest up in peace and quiet in this leafy & shady garden spot. Our place is an oasis in the desert and is admired by all visitors as the most lush, cool spot in Cane Beds. The surrounding vermillion cliffs match the adobe walls of this charming cottage. This unique cottage is a rare example of an earth dwelling. Built about 30 years ago with adobe red clay, sand and straw, it is modernized and recently renovated. You will see two examples of the application of the adobe method in this building. For legal considerations bookings are limited to 28 days but if you would like a longer stay contact us. We love to host guests for 30+ days with special discounts for longer stays. This small cottage is made of exterior adobe walls. Adobe is made from local clay, sand, straw and other ingredients. The thick walls keep the interior cool in the summer and warm in the winter. During more extreme temps there is an air conditioner or heater as needed. Why do we call it Adobe Walls Kitty Cottage? Because we are also a Cat Rescue that is free range and no cage and you will be able to visit with the kitties outside, most of them are quite friendly. We don't allow them inside but your own pet is welcome inside. It is only big enough for 2 guests but if you like we have a small tent that can be erected on the shady lawn as well as a blow up mattress, out the back door, for a small set up fee or you set up, let us know ahead of time. Pets are welcome with a pet cleaning fee, we ask for clean paws and we request you remove your shoes in the bedroom - PETS MUST BE BOOKED, AS WELL. It is located in a little oasis of trees planted 30 years ago providing shade and cool. It has been recently renovated and has all the mod cons. The blend of eclectic pieces make for an enjoyable experience with lots of eye catching details with a theme of farm or country living. You will come in the front door into a hall, to the right is the full bathroom with full tub and shower with grab bars and shower chair (opt.) and a toilet riser if requested. We used vintage mirrors and shelves to add to that eclectic flare. The view from the window is of a spectacular butte. There is a closet in the hall and a rack for coats and hats as well as a shoe stand. A beautiful hand made quilt adorns the left wall. At the end of the hall is an antique china cabinet that has all the dishes, pots and pans, mixing bowls, etc that you will need for your stay. The kitchenette has new butcher block counter tops, electric oven, two burners, microwave oven, full size refrigerator, farm sink and two stools, clothes washer and dryer (and a clothesline is available out the back). We provide toilet paper, paper towels, soap and shampoo for the first week, you are expected to supply these things for yourself for longer stays. It is self catering but we provide coffee, tea, sugar, half n half, bread, eggs, jam and butter to start you off on your stay. The exit is to the back yard lawn and outdoor relaxation area which is complete with patio table and chairs and is shaded by towering cottonwood trees. The bedroom is next, just past the kitchenette. Adobe walls keep it cool but also a window air conditioner is installed. The bedroom has a Sleep Number dual control full size comfy bed so you can set your own firmness setting with a dual heated mattress cover so you can set it to your own warmth setting or turn off on your side. There is some antique furniture, a dresser, end tables, mirrors and a dedicated work space. Curtains will keep you private and the room dark for sleep. The TV and arm chair will keep you entertained and relaxed, some books are provided as well. The feel in the room is very relaxing and calm and you have view out into the beautiful garden during the summer months, and picturesque dustings of snow in the winter. The cottage is all yours, private and secure, including the back patio/lawn area. We have another airbnb next door and there are privacy screens up giving you your own space. It is all on one level with thresholds into rooms easy for those with mobility issues. We tried to make the door frames wide enough to comply with airbnb's accessibility requirements but could not make them any wider than they are, it being a renovation. But the doors themselves are 32" doors and the openings are 29". We did install handrails in the bathroom and a shower chair and toilet riser are available on request. I'm sure you will enjoy this unusual cottage. When outside you can visit with the many friendly kitties. They will come right up to you and let you pet them. We are a cat rescue and sanctuary. No- cage, free range, but no visitors except our Airbnb and HipCamp guest. We consider it a sanctuary because we become so attached that we cannot seem to rehome any. The number of cats remains steady as many are abandoned at the roadside and wander in but we lose some to coyotes and the road. We hope to use some of the proceeds from our vacation rentals to build a fence to defeat these threats to our cats. You will have access to your area as described, with plenty of free parking and easy access to the front door. The place is all one level and would be wheelchair accessible if the person has help thru the doors. The doors are 32" but the open door space is 29" due to this was a renovation and we cannot make the door frames any wider. There is a backdoor out to the back lawn and seating area. This door access is level. We are on site most of the time so any issues or questions will be handled promptly. Small, quiet, rural with kids Very relaxing, beautiful views of towering vermillion bluffs. We live in a quiet rural neighborhood. All roads are gravel and normally are accessible by car but rain can cause difficulties. Neighboring homes are on one acre each with about 20 homes in the neighborhood. In addition to the Adobe Walls Cottage, there is a tiny cabin, our home and Kitty Cottage Airbnb on site. The Kitty Cottage is sister to Adobe Walls Cottage so if you like cats and Kitty Cottage is booked you will be able to visit with the same outside cats. We are located at the border of Utah & Arizona in Cane Beds, AZ. It's a very isolated area with 4-5 dining options & a large full-sized grocery store (Bee's Marketplace) less than 10 minutes away! Cane Beds, Arizona has beautiful red rock sandstone formations & attractions such as nearby Water Canyon Trailhead, Gooseberry Mesa & Maxwell Park. The terrain is very similar to Zion National Park. This region is especially known for hiking, mountain biking & ATV trails. This is a rural area and as such the electricity goes out VERY occasionally. Not often at all, but we are not responsible for any downtime since it is outside of our control. A surge suppressor is supplied for electronic devices if we should get lightning. We are located off of a gravel road. Due to the remote area, navigation can be tricky. We send detailed driving instructions on the day of check-in to all guests to ensure there are no issues finding us. Keep in mind most of us in Cane Beds go by Mtn (Utah) time. This includes businesses in Colorado City AZ. So we are 1 hour ahead of AZ time for 6 months of the year (summer time). We are flexible for check-in and check-out times. This is because almost all of our business: doctors, stores, etc is in Utah. There are several cats around, outside only. The property hosts an official but informal cat rescue. There are no visitors to the rescue. We just take care of cats that are abandoned out here in the desert. If you want to bring a dog you will need to keep a close eye on it (there is the road close by and it is not completely fenced) or have it on a lead and please make sure it does not chase the cats. Be aware that there is no cell phone signal once you leave the highway but the wifi is awesome, varying between 300 and 600 Mps so you can use wifi calling on your phone to call anywhere. Once you book you will get our cell number and will be able to text or phone us.
