You may not have heard of the hamlet of Carefree, Arizona. Just think of her as Scottsdale's free-spirited little sister. Founded with the motto, "Home of cowboys and caviar, where the Old West meets the new," and with street names such as Tranquil Trail, Primrose Path, and Ho and Hum Roads, you know the tone here is decidedly laid-back with a touch of whimsy.

The Carefree Desert Resort & Villas takes the relaxed Carefree spirit to the extreme. Sitting on an expansive 54 acres of Sonora high desert, it offers an indulgent way to "get away from it all."

For some, this is not necessarily a good thing, as the resort is far (far) away from the mania of Scottsdale or Downtown Phoenix. This isn't the place you're likely to bump into Paris Hilton or Matt Leinart at a party. In fact, we'd say you are actually more likely to see a jack rabbit or coyote roaming the grounds than a celebrity.

The big draws at Carefree Desert Resort are 1) astounding desert surroundings; 2) peace and relaxation; and 3) world-class service. As one TripAdvisor member reported recently:

I can say that I am a very picky person and will admit difficult at times...or so my wife says. ... Let me just say that I've never been more impressed with the level of service I received.

Rooms and villas all have furnished patios or balconies overlooking either the mountains, the desert, or landscaped pool area. Scheduled daily activities include guided nature walks, hiking at nearby Pinnacle Peak, and nightly campfires with s'mores.

They have a great spa, fun cowboy "saloon", two pools, fitness center, and five tennis courts are all on site and several golf choices are close by.
