Can you imagine anything more peaceful than watching wild animals graze from your front porch? Such a relaxing experience can be your reality when you stay at The Lodge at Healing River Ranch in Camp Verde. One of the most unique Airbnbs in Arizona, The Lodge is located right next to an animal sanctuary with wild mustangs, burros, and other majestic creatures. During your stay, you can even take a private tour of the grounds and meet all the four-legged residents!
Nestled right above Healing River Ranch, a non-profit animal hospice and long-term care sanctuary in Camp Verde, The Lodge at Healing River Ranch offers a magical overnight getaway.
Guests can't help but admire all the intricacies of the décor. From the shower curtains and bathroom rugs to the wall art and kitchen towels, the whole setup will take you straight into an old Western.
You will also have direct, private access to both the Verde River and Coconino National Forest, so you'll be completely intertwined with nature without sacrificing modern amenities. Plus, the sunsets are incredible!
Of course, the animals are an integral part of the experience, and private tours of the sanctuary are available by appointment. Some of the resident animals include burros and wild mustangs, and they're even more breathtaking in person.
