About this property

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!

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.

Cave Castle

Beautiful and peaceful setting. With easy access to trails and a gorgeous natural setting, the Cave Castle is the perfect place to relax and recharge. Loved the quiet and dark nights for viewing the stars. Everything was comfortable and calm.

About the host

Hosted by Happy & Free

Otherwise known as the Love Troubadours, Happy and Free, love to host guests from around the world! As an Adventure Anthropologist, Happy lived abroad for more than a decade thus far, mostly out of a backpack, volunteering wherever she roamed. She loves to speak various languages with our treasured guests.

Happy is the Granite Dells Guide, specializing in short, fun, easy, affordable excursions in the spectacular wilderness surrounding Heaven on Earth sanctuary.

Please let us know in advance if you would like to book a private or group Easy Floating Yoga Adventure (via paddleboard) on one of Prescott's seven lakes.

Yoga Along the Trail is another favorite adventure the leads from the Wildly Spectacular Cave Castle through the meadow and forest to a creek, pond, cave and optionally up a mountaintop while enjoying various yoga poses, birds, flora, fauna and nature's beauty.

Perhaps you would like to master the art of relaxation, doing as little as possible. The hammocks and lounges scattered throughout the patios, decks and lawns are your favorite places.

Book a deeply relaxing massage in advance to enhance your rejuvenation.

We enjoy swimming the lakes and running the trails, performing, and co-creating scrumptious recipes for our little fiestas.

When not hosting guests, Happy and Free love to travel together in recent years, often in our creational vehicle (little RV) both nationally and internationally. We have traveled to about 35 countries, and feel we are just getting started.

Free is the author of several books including the Sovereign's Handbook series while Happy is the author of Uncivilized Ecstasies, New Zealand's best-selling adventure poetry book, and Bliss Conscious Communication, the first in its field. Both Happy and Free enjoy writing songs, playing music and engaging in creative art projects.

Most of all, we are at your service, deeply grateful for your future friendship (unless you prefer a quiet retreat) and your upcoming visit!

Why they chose this property

Enjoy full private access to the entire 2-story home which comes fully furnished and gracefully appointed with high ceilings, including the 25' tall living cave room, a beautiful king bedroom with a jacuzzi and an executive desk built into the bay window with exquisite views, plus a queen bed in the guest loft, two spacious baths with boulder cliffs inside, kitchen graced with cliffs and cherry cabinets, with dining nook graced by a seasonal waterfall in the cliffs. Plus, the 5 private view decks, patios, shared swimming pool in a solarium over the foot bridge, hammock, lawn, gardens, seasonal pond, tall trees, the shared Clifftop Dome, and canyon trails that lead past the pond to nearby Granite Creek and the outlandishly-gorgeous Granite Gardens Trails. Less than 2 miles to surreally wonderful Watson Lake.

What makes this property unique

The quiet setting is a dream, perhaps especially for hikers, bicyclists, rock climbers, nature lovers, artists, meditators, writers, professionals (who require serenity), vacationers, yoga lovers, retirees and musicians as well as those seeking to build or buy a home in the Prescott area.

Located at the very end of a cul-de-sac, this Cave Castle is located in a private wildlife sanctuary called Heaven on Earth Retreat where an impressive variety of wildlife abounds.

To protect the wildlife and ensure serenity, no pets are permitted at this smoke-free, drug-free, health-enhancing paradise.

A private trail leads to mile after mile of the world-class Granite Dells hiking trails that reveal some of Arizona's most extraordinary scenery. Magnificent Watson and Willow Lakes are a little more than a spectacular mile away by hiking, biking or driving. Prescott Airport is conveniently located 4 miles away.
