Weekend Trip to Gila River View

Our family absolutely loved staying here. This will be one we look forward to staying at frequently. Everything was clean, and provided. It was a good stay at the ranch. We enjoyed seeing the animals and sitting in the creek even though it was pretty cold! Don’t think twice about booking this place ! Our host went above and beyond and the experience was great.

2 nights at Sawtooth Mountain Farms

I happened to be the first person to stay here. And what can I say this place is incredible! The 360 mountain views, the sunrise and sunset, the quiet it's perfect. It's a lot like staying on BLM land but private. During my stay at the end of March the weather was PERFECT. The property is basically connected to about 50+ miles of trails around Sawtooth Mountain. Welcome to 4x4 trucks, side by sides, four wheelers and dirt bikes. Just make sure to pay for AZ state fee because you will ride across state land and BLM land alike. The hosts here went WAY OUT of their way to make me feel very welcome. They brought me a goodie bag on arrival with water, fruit, and cookies. They cooked pizza one night and invited me over for communion. This was a very memorable spot for me! I'll be telling my friends and family about this spot for years! Talking with the hosts they have many plans for the property. So I'd expect that by the time you book your stay, there will be some upgrades and new features to the property. As of right now there are no bathrooms or showers, but there is running water! So just plan accordingly and get ready for a great time!
