Weekend Trip to Creekside Retreat on 3 Acres!

We had a great experience overall! Christine was flexible and understanding when we needed to change the dates of our stay. My daughter really enjoyed the property, especially the tire swing and hammock. It was a bit odd to us having a host on the property and around so much but Bill was helpful and friendly! Would recommend refinishing the benches and barstools on the deck as the wood was chipping in areas and could cause splinters. Some cushions on the benches would also add some more comfort but overall the deck was great for entertaining and relaxing. The inside was cozy and clean, had just the right amount of supplies for our stay. My daughter asked when we could go back before we even left, so we are looking forward to staying again sometime. Highly recommend!

Gary and Daren are living their dream and it shows in every detail. The bathroom and showers were clean and stocked, the coffee selection was outstanding, they have everything you need to good a good meal and we even told him the ladder golf needed fixing and he had it fixed within hours. I literally didn’t want to leave. It’s an absolutely magical here and I feel grateful I was able to experience all this beauty. Also the creek was beautiful and refreshing! We’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to RV on Creekfront 3 Acre Retreat

This RV was a great getaway for me and my 10 yr old grandson. We were looking for someplace to go to get out of the city. This was just what we needed. It did rain the whole weekend so we weren’t able to enjoy the surroundings and all that was offered, but it still worked out great for us. We had a day trip planned for other activities that were close by. We brought some games with us to play in the evening. The area was peaceful and clean. Christina’s was aavailable to help us as needed. Over all it was a great experience.

What an incredible stay at the eagle eye! The whole property is incredible and I’d recommend it for tent camping too. The hosts are awesome, the Eagle eye itself was super unique and comfy, and I definitely recommend using the trails. After a heavy rain there were otters in the creek :) Easily the best hipcamp I’ve stayed at.

This house is a wonderful base for exploring the Sedona area. It’s convenient to CottonWood, Camp Verde, the Village of Oak Creek, and anywhere in Sedona, which is just within a 30-minute drive away. The deck and creekside are my favorite spots—we enjoyed breakfast by the water in the mornings, and after a full day of exploring, we relaxed on the deck in the evening, cooking dinner and sipping tea or coffee. It felt so peaceful and cozy. The rooms are spacious and very clean, and the property has BBQ grills both in the yard and on the deck, along with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. The host also provides plenty of privacy, making the place feel like your own. If I return to Sedona, I would absolutely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Sacred Springs-Private creek access

We stayed at Sacred Springs – Eagle Eye on our Sedona road trip, and it was such a special experience. Eagle Eye itself is a cozy sauna converted into a bedroom, overlooking the beautiful Montezuma Lake — the view alone is worth it! ✨ The grounds were incredibly well thought out, with unique little campsites spread throughout, each cared for with so much intention. Everything was very clean and well maintained, and the lighting around the property made it feel both safe and magical at night. The shared amenities were excellent — from the community room with a fridge, to the solar shower, regular shower, and clean bathrooms (such a gift after a long day of hiking in Sedona!). The hosts were warm and welcoming, and you could tell how much love has been put into this place. It was about a 45-minute drive for us to get into Sedona, which was perfect since we got both the quiet lakeside retreat and easy access to all the red rock adventures. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for something serene, beautiful, and thoughtfully created. 🌿

Laura was amazing! She was such a kind host, made sure we had everything we needed and even introduced us to her lovely animal family. The trailer was so comfortable and the grounds were clean. The creek is gorgeous, we spent the day there and had it all to our selves swimming, sun bathing and taking in nature. We will definitely be back!

This was my second time staying at Sacred Springs and it did not disappoint! We stayed in the Eagle Eye this time and it came with great views and a very comfortable bed. Gary And Daren have everything you could need and more in their community room and make sure you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive! Would recommend to everyone!

Great spot. Easy to get to. It is close to town if you need to get anything from the store but also you feel like you’re out in the middle of the country side. Easy to follow instructions and quick response to questions.

Weekend Trip to Beaver Creek Oasis

As we've come to expect (we've been back multiple times now), Laura delivered the kindness, warmth, hospitality, and hominess we've come to expect. We stayed in the RV trailer on her property, and, as always, we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The property is easy to access, even in a sedan or small SUV, and its location is central to lots of area attractions: Montezuma Well, Montezuma Castle, downtown Cottonwood, and much more. We especially enjoyed an afternoon with our camp chairs (and feet!) in the middle of the creek, enjoying the sun, the water, the birds, and a good book. We'll definitely be back!

A Soulful Retreat We’ll Never Forget Our stay at Eagle Eye in Sacred Springs was more than a getaway—it was a homecoming for the soul. The land radiates peace, purpose, and an ancient kind of beauty you can feel the moment you arrive. We’ve spent years in the hospitality industry, and rarely have we experienced this level of thoughtfulness and care. Gary and Darren have created something sacred here—something that lives and breathes with love. Every detail, from the cozy warmth of the converted sauna cabin to the reverent way the trails weave through the cliffs, speaks of devotion. At night, we saw stars like we’ve never seen before—like the sky was telling stories just for us. The energy here anchors you to the present and lifts your spirit. We didn’t just visit—we felt truly at home. This land is a living archive—overflowing with sacred history, natural wonder, and timeless presence. A short walk leads to the Sedona Wolf Sanctuary, an experience that touched our hearts. We came to rest, but left awakened—more connected, more grateful. We’ll carry this experience in our hearts always and plan to return every year. Sacred Springs is a gift to all who visit. Thank you, Gary and Darren, for sharing this treasure with the world. We love your dogs! Until next time… Christina & Kevin

Quite literally everything about Sacred Springs was perfect. Gary and Daren put so many little touches of love into the space, the paths, and the community areas/amenities. Cleanliness and thoughtfulness all around, from the initial tour, to a heater in the bathroom, to notes of love and solace along the paths. Not only was the Eagle Eye bed cozy, but it had a gorgeous view of the river below and sunrise over the mountains. We immediately felt at home and cared for. 10/10 (Heads up, the last couple miles of road to get there was a tad rough and washed out, but our little 2wd rental Kia made it, so you can too haha)

This is a must-stay if you're in the area, and particularly for people planning to go to the Wolf Sanctuary! Gary and Daren have thought of absolutely everything; The friendly greeting & loving touch on every piece of this property are clear indications of the peace held within the land itself. I simply cannot recommend this unique glamping experience & these hosts enough. You will not regret giving yourself the chance to relax and re-ground in this cozy little nook away from the world.
