What Our Guests Say About Us
Francesco & Julie M.
The perfect astronomer's getaway! The house is small but well equipped and perfect for a couple. The instructions are clear and the hosts are incredibly helpful. And, of course, the observatory: how convenient to set up your telescope, sheltered from the wind, for a night of observations or imaging. The entire place is very astro-conscious, with excellent network connection both to the internet and bewtween the observatory and the house, minimal outdoor lighting, and filtered in red! And John is ready to help for any technical issue.
The location is of course very dark, and perfect not only for on-site astronomy (and on-site birding, with quail enjoying the feeders), but for day trips to the Chiricahua Mountains, to Portal, and Cave Creek Canyon just across the state line in Arizona.

It was a wonderful place, hosted by wonderful people. They, like the stars were stellar.
Caroline & Gareth H.
Absolutely amazing house in a wonderful spot! Great stargazing - the observatory is so well set up. Would recommend very highly. Thank you both so much for a wonderful stay.

We chose Valley Vista Getaway because of the observatory and it did not disappoint. The hosts were extremely welcoming and happy to answer questions about the area. The house was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Happy to recommend this rental.
Robert & Debbie T.
John and Cathy are amazing hosts. And the house and observatory are just as described. The provided handbook for Valley Vista Getaway is excellent and has good instructions to become acquainted with the house and observatory, and also has great information about things to do in the area. We had a wonderful stay.

This is a FANTASTIC little cottage with all the amenities one could need and a hidden gem for star gazers, astrophotographers and birders. Wonderful hosts, beautiful wide open location, a roll-off roof observatory to put your telescope in, lovely, cozy, tastefully decorated cottage. We highly recommend it!

I come here for the night sky and they never fail to impress. Valley Vista Getaway has a small roll-off roof observatory that allows you to setup your kit out of the weather and sun. But when that glorious night time sky is up you just push the roof off and start imaging in minutes. The RV site is clean and tidy and has all the amenities you would need. Water, power, sewer, and WiFi. This is one of the best RV spots in the country for astrophotography!

Everything I expected. Skies were great and having the observatory was wonderful. Highly recommend and will be back for sure.
