"This place is a hidden gem. I would highly recommend spending a few nights here. The hosts were amazing and very accommodating. We did a mine tour, hiked to a swimming waterfall-endless beauty with very knowledgeable hosts. The history of the land was very interesting!!"

"Shhhh…!!! Don’t tell anyone about this place!!! I’m going to gate keep Ash Creek because my family, my dogs and I enjoyed every minute of it!!! The creek, the waterfalls, endless hiking, off roading and the 360 views… WOW!!! We will definitely be back to do more adventures at Ash Creek. The only bad thing was I kept forgetting to take photos but the core memories….We will never forget this place.

"Wilds of Arizona, Thanks for the great time. Andy made our trip; you have raised a very polite and wise young man. He answered all of our questions and provided an excellent tour of the property. He was very knowledgeable about the canyon and history of the area and mines. He checked on us a couple times and was a wealth of information!
We thoroughly enjoyed the waterfalls and creek hike. The water was cool and a perfect way to spend the warmest part of the day! There were tons of stars at night. Great hospitality and atmosphere. Pasture camp spot was plenty of room and great fire pit! Thanks again Andy, we will be back!!"
