The space This home is beautifully decorated with art and furniture hand crafted just for this unique space. The Bunkhouse consists of 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, laundry room and a kitchen/living room area. There is a large outdoor space with tables for dinner, entertaining or simply to watch the river and drink coffee. There are several closets and storage areas for long term guests. The Important Details: This is a working cattle ranch and this is a historic home. While we have worked hard to restore this home and create a peaceful place for you to stay, there will be issues that come up just like any home. For instance, sometimes the pipes freeze in the winter time- it does not happen often but it has happened and will happen again. Because this is an old home, there is not a lot that I can do to change this, but I want to make you aware that it is a possibility. In the hotter months, the water out of the tap can be on the warmer side- we are in the Arizona desert and there is little I can do to change this. Additionally, our power is serviced by the San Carlos Irrigation Project and will go out during severe storms- again this is out of my control, but I do my best to keep guests updated, as well as keep flashlights and candles in the home for your use. If any issues arise, my husband and I will work hard to take care of them in a timely manner. We both work in addition to owning/operating these homes, so please keep that in mind. This ranch is located on 22,000 acres in the Sonoran desert. Guests will have to drive approximately 3.5 miles on a dirt road to access the house. It is a rustic environment but the home is equipped with all the modern amenities. We do not board horses or allow guests to ride our horses. There are three homes on this ranch- one is mine (the owner), and the other is another vacation rental property. Each home has plenty of space and privacy. The home does have access to the Gila river- keep in mind that you need to watch for snakes and other animals depending on the time of year. Swimming/Fishing is allowed: guests swim and fish at their own risk, and understand that the State of Arizona requires you to hold a fishing license. We do not provide fishing gear, kayaks, or bikes during your stay. Those items can be rented or purchased in Apache Junction. Guest access Guests will have an area right in front of the home for parking and a separate driveway to access the home. Other things to note We do allow pets but we charge a $25 pet fee per animal that is paid directly to the cleaning lady. When you book you will need to mention that you are bringing pets an how many in the inquiry. The property manager will give you the option of paying a pet fee through an Airbnb payment request or you can pay cash for the pet fee upon your arrival. GUESTS ARE EXPECTED TO CLEAN UP PET WASTE BEFORE YOUR DEPARTURE.
