Holiday rentals in Animas

We really enjoyed staying here! It’s right across the street from one vineyard and a short drive to several others. We also had a great time driving out to the Chiricauha National Monument for a hike and sitting out on the porch to look at the stars at night.

Such a spectacular setting! Sitting on Joy and Ray's patio terrace is like having Yosemite valley all to yourself, an unbelievable treat. The cabin is lovely and the location is perfect. Joy and Ray are welcoming, relaxed hosts. The poet Mary Oliver famously asked, "what will you do with your one wild and precious life?" . Joy and Ray provide a pretty remarkable answer to that question, that is an inspirational model to the rest of us. Natural history and historical interpretation, science and education, photography and exhibit construction, music, rodeos...a rich tapestry they wove exactly how they wanted, with creativity and science and collaboration running through it all. We can't wait to return to the canyon views and the conversations on the patio terrace.

Property matches the photos, quiet, and peaceful. It did get fairly cool at night but plenty of extra blankets and heaters if needed. Beautiful property stunning night sky and amazing sunsets.

The cabin is peaceful and private and in a fantastic location if you want to hang out in and around Portal. As everyone says, the big porch with its expansive view of the mountain, and the many bird feeders which bring in a dozen or more species ( and javalinas!) and the dark skies are really special. The cabin itself is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals but the Portal Cafe is a fun place- next time we’ll bring fewer groceries! Steve was responsive when we texted with a minor question.

We loved this peaceful oasis. Sitting outside in the morning and afternoon watching the birds and just relaxing was perfect. The beds were super comfortable but, oh my, the bath towels! Incredibly fluffy and soft. I will be buying some as soon as I get home. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to make meals and the big shower was a plus. Diana was quick to communicate and answer all of the questions we had. So close to Chiricahua National Monument and other places to hike. But best of all was Kelsey the pup. She was full of life and so enthusiastic and kept us company whenever we were outside. Sitting by our sides, walking with us and just making our stay joyful. We will definitely stay here again if in the area. Well done!!!!

We loved this place! It was so beautiful and peaceful. Kellye even sent us a picture of the sunset the day before we arrived. We highly recommend it.

This is our fourth or fifth time staying at Neil’s lovely home. It’s the perfect place for to stay while exploring the Chirichahuas. He has a well appointed and clean home. It is very comfortable. We found everything that we needed. We hope to return in our subsequent visits!

Lovely cabin in a great location near Portal, AZ, where great bonding locations are found. Rhonda and her husband has great bird feeders right in front of the cabin terrasse. Got several new birds without leaving the premisses. Very clean and nice homy place which greatly exceeded our expectations.

This was my 3rd time visiting the property and everytime it has been a great stay. Tvs have been added to the bedrooms but were not necessary for our stay. Great place that's well equipped but the area is just perfect for the views of the night sky and the peace and quiet
