A Wildlife and Bird Sanctuary
At this stunning place, you’re a guest in a vibrant ecosystem filled with extraordinary wildlife:
• River otters, beavers, and endangered fish species inhabit our pristine creek.
• Deer, raccoons, bobcats, and coyotes roam the land, with occasional sightings of elk, coatimundi, or even a mountain lion.
• Bird enthusiasts may spot Black Hawks, falcons, eagles, ravens, and a chorus of other species soaring and migrating through the skies.
This land is alive with the rhythms of nature—a sanctuary where life flows seamlessly between seasons.
Witness the Echoes of the Past
From the plateau, you’ll have the remarkable opportunity to witness the echoes of the past and the pulse of the present as the nearby I-17 highway traces the path of this ancient corridor.
Prehistoric cliff-dwelling communities once thrived here, farming the land and living in the desert’s rhythms. As you explore, you’ll be walking in the footsteps of those who lived, dreamed, and built here long before us.
The Spirit of the Property
The journey begins as soon as you enter the sacred river valley. Driving through this landscape, the energy of the desert envelops you, guiding you along the primitive road to our oasis. From panoramic views atop the plateau to the soothing waters of the creek below, this is a retreat like no other.
Relax in one of our hammock swings by the water. Hike the trails and let the land guide your steps. Marvel at sunrises and sunsets that transform the sky into a canvas of color. Let the sound of the creek wash away the distractions of modern life, grounding you in a deep connection with the natural world.
