Across reviews of Tropical Mountain Valley Casita, travelers highlight a spacious, kid-friendly property with a pool, hot tub, wildlife, and a mini train, plus a convenient location near the Salt River and mountains with a peaceful, remote feel.
Most find the casita very clean and the host responsive and accommodating, though a couple reviews mention strong cleaning smells or slow replies. Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, but multiple guests call out a very small shower. Some guests note the pool is unheated and a few features need upkeep, and one review mentions limited privacy. Expect a quirky, family-friendly stay for nature lovers.

Very enjoyable stay. Mom’s needing a quick getaway, we were not disappointed. Description was accurate. It was a cute casita. Plenty of space and great air conditioning. It’s Arizona so very much appreciated. The actual property was very fun to explore. We experienced wild life throughout the day and night. Super cool. The pool water was nice. I guess my only suggestion would be to have your in pool table fixed up. Other than that it was pretty perfect. The evening backdrop made for beautiful pictures. For locals that know,,, this is super close to the salt river which is a summer must. I would recommend to friends :)

This was so fun and perfect for my kids who really enjoyed the tortoises, pool and train. It’s usually a struggle to keep them busy and this was fantastic. Communication was quick and easy, location was perfect near shopping for essentials. My husband and I and two kids never felt cramped, and the casita was stocked with all the things we needed. We will definitely be back!

Great experience with my stay, my doggies loved it and it was nice for one person. Lots of critters around the property. Couldn't tell if the hot tub was operational but I didn't end up using it. A bit small, the shower especially, for more than one person to stay. Pool wasn't heated. But I would stay here again. I intended to use the grill but got too busy. Love this area of Arizona!

My partner and I had a great stay with Andrew. The location was good, and we really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. It was fun seeing wildlife around the property, and the place had a lot of unique character. The only downside was that the shower was very small—my partner is large and he could not fit comfortably. He had to do some sink bathing.

We love this property! We had a family pool party and the pool area was perfect, everyone really enjoyed themselves. The wildlife was on full display, we loved watching the cottontail bunnies, a javelina family with babies, and the quail with their tiny little ones. One of our favorite things about this property is the remoteness, it is very peaceful and quiet.

The Casita was awesome and so very clean! We loved the property's uniqueness. It had a working kiddie train, which my grandkids loved along with a train tower overlook. So cool, fun and it has beautiful views! The property is close to freeways but has a remote feeling that we loved. We will definitely stay again. Thanks Andy!

My wife, little dog, and I all loved our time at this property. It was quiet, spacious, with good beds, great linens, and exclusive use of the (unheated, so quite bracing in January!) lovely swimming pool, and the great hot tub. All the garden plantings were really beautiful… Palm trees, cacti, succulents, and deciduous trees that are home too many lovely birds. We were able to have our daughter and granddaughter visit to play games and share a meal, and we took walks around the property and visited the desert tortoise enclosure there. A short drive away are Usery Regional Park for hiking, and the Salt River to explore. Landlord Andy was quick to respond about the very few things we needed, like extra coffee and mugs. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit this area.

My family and I were very excited about the private 2.5 acre retreat with lush palms, pool, play train and tortoises. Pulling up from the street, the main house and property looked cool. Once exiting the car, there was an older couple in the oversized garage working on appliances? And had to veer around dog poop to get to front door (we have 3 dogs at home so used to dog poop but not expecting piles of it when walking up to a “vacation casita”. When pushing 1 number for access code to front door, door just opens. Casita looked clean, with very very strong chemical smell. Walked out other exit door from casita to pool. Pool was very rusty and then heard and then saw at least 4 large barking dogs jumping up on sliding door with view to pool, inside with a man , which we assume is owner inside main house telling them to stop. At that point, my husband and I looked at each other. Grabbed our kids and stuff and left! Very uncomfortable and disappointing situation!!! Was not private at all, and pictures of pool were not accurate. We didn’t stop to take time to take pictures of all of this. Hopefully they can fix a few things so the next vacation renter has a better experience and can stay at this “private” retreat.

We were here to visit family in Apache Junction and the Casita was 5.5 miled away. It's in a beautiful location at the base of the hills. The Casita was perfect for our needs and clean. The beds were very comfortable! The citrus trees and cactus on the property are beautiful, as well as the brick work and play area for children. We will definitely stay again on our next visit.

Upon walking in we were pleasantly surprised by how much larger the casita is in person versus in the photos. The property is absolutely GORGEOUS with so many fun gems throughout. And the owners allow you to roam and check it all out! Perfect for a quiet getaway with or without children. The train was a hit with the younger members of our party. Highly recommend. 10/10!

We were able to have our daughter and granddaughter visit to play games and share a meal, and we took walks around the property and visited the desert tortoise enclosure there. A short drive away are Usery Regional Park for hiking, and the Salt River to explore. Landlord Andy was quick to respond about the very few things we needed, like extra coffee and mugs. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit this area.

Location
Convenient to the Salt River, mountains, and freeways, yet it feels remote and quiet. Outdoor recreation is nearby and basic shopping is close.

Very enjoyable stay. Mom’s needing a quick getaway, we were not disappointed. Description was accurate. It was a cute casita. Plenty of space and great air conditioning. It’s Arizona so very much appreciated. The actual property was very fun to explore. We experienced wild life throughout the day and night. Super cool. The pool water was nice. I guess my only suggestion would be to have your in pool table fixed up. Other than that it was pretty perfect. The evening backdrop made for beautiful pictures. For locals that know,,, this is super close to the salt river which is a summer must. I would recommend to friends :)

This was so fun and perfect for my kids who really enjoyed the tortoises, pool and train. It’s usually a struggle to keep them busy and this was fantastic. Communication was quick and easy, location was perfect near shopping for essentials. My husband and I and two kids never felt cramped, and the casita was stocked with all the things we needed. We will definitely be back!

Everything was as listed. Very convenient location as it was both close to the mountains and the 202. The owners were pleasant and accommodating. The unit was well stocked in paper products and basic needs. We loved visiting the tortoises!

Great place to stay with all the hiking, biking, fishing, and outdoor activities you could ever want nearby. We found all the amenities we needed in the Casita, and enjoyed our time here.

We were here to visit family in Apache Junction and the Casita was 5.5 miled away. It's in a beautiful location at the base of the hills. The Casita was perfect for our needs and clean. The beds were very comfortable! The citrus trees and cactus on the property are beautiful, as well as the brick work and play area for children. We will definitely stay again on our next visit.

We love this property! We had a family pool party and the pool area was perfect, everyone really enjoyed themselves. The wildlife was on full display, we loved watching the cottontail bunnies, a javelina family with babies, and the quail with their tiny little ones. One of our favorite things about this property is the remoteness, it is very peaceful and quiet.

The Casita was awesome and so very clean! We loved the property's uniqueness. It had a working kiddie train, which my grandkids loved along with a train tower overlook. So cool, fun and it has beautiful views! The property is close to freeways but has a remote feeling that we loved. We will definitely stay again. Thanks Andy!
