Hello everyone! We are the owners, Rick and Ellen. While our primary home is in Gilbert, Arizona, we have been coming to the White Mountains for over 30 years to visit family. We eventually fell so in love with the cool mountain pines that we made this our second home.
When we aren't hosting, youâll likely find us at the racetrack or enjoying the outdoors with our son, Jayden, and our dog, Benny. As a family that loves both the summer trails and the winter snow, we know exactly what makes a vacation here special.
We take great pride in being 'hands-on' owners. Because we use this home ourselves, weâve stocked the kitchen and living spaces with everything we think a family might needâfrom wood for the fireplace to local recommendations for the best hidden hiking spots. Whether you are here for the skiing at Sunrise or a quiet weekend away from the valley heat, we want our Casita to feel like your own.
If there is anything we can do to make your stay extra special, please just ask. Happy vacationing!
â Rick, Ellen, Jayden & Benny
