Tangerine Cactus Desert Cottage

Charming and unique cottage at the base of Black Mountain in Cave Creek. Natural and private desert landscape with two private patios - one with a natural gas fireplace for cool evenings when you want to stay outside to gaze at the stars. Minutes away from the town of Cave Creek, a small western town with big hospitality and a fantastic selection of restaurants, shops, golf courses, live music, and uniquely western activities.

The cottage is nicely updated and appointed, but maintains its original charm with a modern flair. The open floor plan of the great room is perfect for gathering, and the bedrooms, bathrooms, and den are located at the other end of the house for privacy. Updated kitchen with new appliances. Two sets of french doors from the kitchen/great room extend the living space to the outdoors. Updated bathrooms and comfortable beds. Beautiful Saltillo tile throughout the home.

A favorite spot is the enclosed patio with built in gas fireplace and grill, plenty of Arizona sunshine, and a large round table to accommodate dinner gatherings.

Just a few blocks off Cave Creek Rd with easy access to major highways.

We welcome you to Cave Creek and look forward to seeing you soon!

Dream Desert Hideaway
This "cottage" exceeded our expectations. The eclectic southwestern decor of the house with its distinct gardens and patios. and fireplaces were fun to explore. Being in the desert was a thrill, and the nearby shops and restaurants of Cave Creek made it that much better. Carol was attentive to all of our questions. This desert get away made our stay in Phoenix so much more.

Outstanding Property
We wish we could give this property 10 stars! The Tangerine Cottage is a very special place. The eclectic decor is amazing, inside and out. The patio begs you to sit in the sun in the morning and sit by the fire in the evening. The kitchen was well equipped, (it even had sharp knives)!! It was very comfortable for 2 people and easily handled a large family gathering for Thanksgiving dinner. The neighborhood is quiet and a joy to walk around. The location is perfect, close to great restaurants and lots of shopping for local fare. Carol was incredibly responsive to our questions, responding to our texts within just a couple of minutes. We cannot wait to return to this magical property!!

5 Star Relaxing Couples Retreat in Cave Creek, AZ
April 2022 My Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Tangerine Cactus Cottage. The artsy south western decor of this beautiful cottage, inside and outside, immediately takes you to a peaceful calm. There are several private patios to choose from with gorgeous landscaping and plenty of parking. We were lucky to be there when the cacti began to bloom. Full amenities -- we wanted for nothing as every detail was addressed. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN!! We took daily walks throughout the beautiful, quiet, and friendly neighborhood to downtown Cave Creek where there are excellent restaurants, bakery, Hip boutiques and antique stores. Carol was super accommodating and easy to communicate with. We hated to leave!!

A Gem in Cave Creek
The Tangerine Cactus Cottage is as cool and eclectic as it’s name implies. Carol is such a friendly and accommodating host. Her wonderful design and artistic style permeates the cottage and the nicely appointed grounds - inside and out. It’s your own piece of desert paradise just a couple of minutes from the hip Cave Creek strip. Highly recommended

Beautiful cottage, conveniently located in Cave Creek, AZ
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tangerine Cactus Cottage. The cottage is wonderfully decorated in a SW style theme, fun artwork, history, cabinets, and even a beautiful large wooden carved door hiding the W/D, clean all around, spacious fully functioning kitchen, nice sized bedrooms each with walk-in-closets and separate bathrooms, perfect sized living and dining rooms, lovely front, back and side yards, with lots of chairs with cushions, cacti gardens, good parking, clean, soothing hot tub. An easy walking neighborhood, close to excellent restaurants, grocery stores and downtown Cave Creek. Great hiking trails throughout the area. Carol was super accommodating, easy to communicate with before, during and after our stay. We plan to visit again and will recommend this cottage to friends and family who may plan a trip to AZ.

Wonderful outdoor areas.
We stayed here for two weeks and were really happy with the house and especially with the three outdoor areas. Communication with the owner was extremely easy and pleasant. We would definitely come back to this house again.
