The space
Escape to Mesquite Retreat
Welcome to our guest house, a cozy cabin nestled on four acres of native desert landscape near the base of Mt. Graham. The property sits a short distance from the town of Pima and is around a 25-minute drive from Safford/Thatcher. Accessible via a quiet 3-mile dirt road, this rustic bohemian-style cabin features exposed rock and wood walls, concrete floors, and a carefully curated mix of new and antique decor and furniture. The history and love put into this unique space is evident throughout.
The main room consists of an open kitchen area with breakfast counter, a small dining area, and a cozy living space with all the amenities. The second room is spacious and features a king-size bed and additional living area/workspace which also has the option of a full-size pull-out sofa bed. Outside, a porch with seating, a picnic table, and a hammock under shady trees offer peaceful spots to relax and take in the desert scenery and night sky.
The Sonoran Desert surrounds Mesquite Retreat and nature lovers will delight in the diverse species that call this area home. The property offers access to state and public land and there are lots of opportunities for outdoor activities nearby. We regularly share the yard with deer, rabbits, and an immense variety of birds. Javelina, bobcats, and Gila Monsters also visit the property from time to time, and visitors should not be alarmed if they happen to see snakes, scorpions, mice, bugs, etc. Please remember to respect and admire these wild animals from a distance. While we do our best to keep insects at bay, it's not uncommon to occasionally encounter them indoors.
To ensure a peaceful stay for all guests, we require that you do not bring pets, host parties, or smoke in this space. Mesquite Retreat is a place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and experience the beauty of the desert in its purest form. The owners live on the other side of the property and external security cameras monitor the main gate and cabin entrance for additional safety. There are no cameras inside the house. We also close the main gate from 10pm-6am, but visitors can easily enter or leave the property at any time.
In order to have cell phone service, you must connect to the WIFI network. If your phone does not have this capability cell service will not be available.
In rare cases of heavy rain, Ash Creek may overflow onto the road, temporarily blocking passage. Rest assured, we'll keep you informed if such a situation arises.
Guests staying 14 days or longer will be required to pay a cleaning fee every two weeks to maintain the freshness, cleanliness, and functionality of Mesquite Retreat.
Finally, we are still finishing the outside of the cabin, but won’t be working on the place while guests are staying on the property.
