Lots of friendly and interesting people in the Verde Valley... they choose Northern Arizona for a reason; the weather, the lifestyle, the outdoor adventures, the wildlife. We have nationally recognized artists, writers, musicians, and ruthless horseshoe pitchers. Northern Arizona is full of character and characters!
Cowboy poets...never heard of them? We have some good ones around here! They know their way round a campfire kitchen too.
Lots of boys want to grow up to be cowboys, or at least re-enactors. National Day of the Cowboy is celebrated by everyone who likes to dress for the big day.
All kinds of wildlife is found in the Verde River Valley, this is the Arizona State Butterfly. Flowers around the guest house attract them all summer. This photo was taken with a cell phone, about 6 inches away. Yes, you can get that close!
Painting plein air... where you find painters you will find photographers. We can steer you to some of the lesser known places. Or you can just sit on your porch and snap away like we do in the photos below!
