About this property

Wildly Spectacular Cave Castle in the Granite Dells

Featured in magazines for its awe-inspiring architecture and national park-like location, the cozy, warm, luxurious, open, 2.5-story, the Wildly Spectacular Cave Castle features natural granite interior cliffs, a sheepskin rug in front of the glass view wood stove in the 25' tall open living room with radiant-heated wooden floors.

Enjoy awe-inspiringly wild views of cliffs and tall trees through the walls of windows including bay windows from the king, queen and inspirational writers desk. This dream getaway is perfect as a quiet personal or romantic retreat.

Heaven on Earth Retreat is located the end of a paved road next to 10,000 acres of beautiful parklands with a world class trail system just outside the door that leads to the retreat's pond, then nearby creek along the cliffs through forest and meadow canyons with caves and mini mountains to climb.

Located in the heart of the gorgeous Granite Dells, this quiet, private, spectacular Cave Castle is built of flagstone, love and towering naturally-colorful granite cliffs, creating a light, cave-like interior with spectacular panoramic views that can be enjoyed from every room and the flat rooftop too.

The Cave Castle also includes enjoyment of the flagstone patio-rimmed, shared, seasonal Solarium-Covered Pool just over the foot bridge between the lawn and pond, plus, the beautiful Clifftop Geodesic Dome above, ideal for yoga, meditation and relaxation.

This end-of-the-road location is a 3 minute drive to amazing Lake Magnificent (Watson Lake), 5 minutes to Prescott Airport (flights to LAX and DEN) and only 10 minutes to Prescott's charming downtown square.

This serene retreat is smoke free, pet free and drug-free. All of these amazing photos were taken on the premises. EV charging is available upon request at $30 for charges between 1 and 24 hours.

Guests enjoy exploring the area by hiking the many surrounding trails and exploring some of Prescott's seven beautiful lakes. Let us know if you'd like to reserve a Floating Yoga Adventure with our paddleboards and guide or join a Yoga Along the Trail Hike from the retreat through the forest to a creek, caves and mountaintop. Guests are welcome to rent the inflatable kayaks and paddleboards too.

Or, perhaps you'd like to master the art of doing absolutely nothing, napping in a hammock or lounging by the pool, enhancing your rejuvenation with a deeply relaxing in-house massage.

Welcome to your Wildly Spectacular Cave Castle at Heaven on Earth Retreat!

Hot!
We Live in South Central Alabama we are use to heat & Humidity. We stayed over 4th of July week and knew it would be hot but dry the Property has only a window unit for AC. that by no means can cool the space. It was very hard to fall asleep being very hot even though it cooled off very late at night & early Morning

Quiet Getaway
Had an amazing time. Truly is Heaven on Earth. The environment is so peaceful. Definitely an experience you have to try. I loved the pool and the buffing! The Cave Cavern is where we stayed. The Granite Dells were a beautiful addition to the home. Absolutely incredible. Must go to experience it yourself. We will be back!

Perfect getaway.
We were thrilled to come across this property and the owners. It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. So close to restaurants, hikes, and shopping, but nestled away to make it seem you are off the grid.

Relaxing Oasis!
We loved our stay at the Cave Castle in the Granite Dells! What an amazing location!! So relaxing and peaceful! The property backs up to wonderful hiking trails and amazing rock formations. There are lovely patios on EVERY side of this property allowing you to access sun, shade, wind, or no wind - whatever you want! We had fun playing board games with our 17 year old son, I love that there is no TV!! So relaxing! The sleeping accommodations are up stairs and open with no walls but there are privacy curtains... which was fine, just be ready for that. Happy and Free are so friendly but also give you your space. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely stay here if it's available!

Beautiful property needing attn
Nice property but pool and hot tub were not clean and available for guests. Smoke alarm went off in the middle of the night and property owner did not respond for an entire day and by that point we were checking out.

Great spot to visit Prescott
Nice place to stay while visiting the area. We were there off season so the outdoor/lifestyle amentities were not available. The home was comfortable. Both sleeping areas are in an open loft on the second floor. The immediate area, Granite Dells, is beautiful and truly unique and worth a visit on it's own natural merits. The way the house is built into the granite face is worth a visit on it's own as well.

Comfortable
We booked our stay late February, knowing that the temperatures may be a bit cooler, but we arrived in the middle of the snowstorm of the century! No fault of the owners, but it made for an interesting experience! The 16-18" of snow made for a magical visual throughout the area. The roads were cleared - mostly - but we were thankful we rented a 4-wheel drive vehicle. The owners reached out to us prior to arrival that day to discuss alternatives due to concern of the road conditions. After some discussion, we decided to make the trek from the Phoenix airport to the house. Our GPS had us routed the back way in. Luckily, we paused before crossing a flooded creek and called Happy for guidance. She talked us through a re-route and we arrived safely to the house. The house is very clean, spacious, and airy. The exposed granite walls are very cool - a nice touch. We were comfortable throughout our stay. The snow made for some unique challenges for the owners - they shoveled a small path from the parking spot to the house, but never cleared space around the car so we had to walk in deep snow every time we got in & out of the car, and the drive was never shoveled. We prefer to find extra towels available for use - not just two, requiring laundering each day for fresh towels. Also, we have stayed at many rentals and understand the need to place notices for renters on how the owners want things done, but there seemed to be a few extras notices posted that increased our stress level for fear of violating a rule - no shoes, short showers, etc.. But even with that, we enjoyed our stay. We had a chance to visit briefly with Happy and she is a very pleasant person to share stories. We bought one of her books on Blissful Communications (some of the posted notices may find a benefit of resting with some Blissful Communications). Although the snow was beautiful to look at, and being form Wisconsin not an issue for us to drive in, we wish we had an opportunity to experience the grounds fully without the snow, and would consider coming back another time of the year to do just that. The neighbor is gorgeous. We found th elocation great for visits to the Grand Canyon, Sedona (in the snow) and to Phoenix.
