My friend and I stayed here so that we could easily get a rideshare to the diamondbacks game and also take advantage of the nice pool in the backyard. We were able to enjoy our afternoon and then have somewhere to come back in the evening. I do wish it was made a little more clear that the owner does live in the house that’s tied to it and that he has full visibility of you besides in the casita.

Best Stay Ever
Bill’s place is by far the best place that I have stayed when using a property rental company. He goes over the top and has thought of everything. There are personal touches everywhere and you really feel like you are at home, if you lived in a five star resort. I highly recommend Willy’s Inn and will be back for sure.

1 night stay for dr. Appts.
This is my 3rd time staying here with my bestie for our Dr. Appointments. Bill is a wonderful host. Place is clean and very secure. I would have no problem staying here by myself. Also, loved all the pride murals on fences and casita and property is so calm and relaxing and decorated beautifully. Wonderful stay and welcoming to all types of people which is amazing. I wish there were more places like Bills.

3 stop trip
Willy’s Inn was stop one in our three stop vacation to AZ. If the other stops are half as perfect as this one, we’ll be lucky. Bill, the host, was in contact with us early on and when we arrived, the property was immaculate, beautiful and just as described. The casita was stocked with beverages and snacks and extra amenities, like lots of sunscreen. We would heartily recommend Willy’s Inn for adult guests looking for a great vacation experience.

Wonderful stay
My girlfriend and I were in town for a concert and dr. Appts. The place is beautiful and we felt safe. Casita had water and drinks stocked in the fridge. The bathroom had razors, mouthwash, etc if you migjt have forgotten yours. The backyard area has plently of different seating areas and the pool/hot.tub was amazing, casita clean and nicely decorated. I have already looked to see if Bill has availablity for my future stays i might have. Bill is a wonderful host and I loved the fact that it is LGBT friendly.. Hoping to stay again if my appts align. Thank you Bill for an awesome stay at your beautiful and your hospitality. Jeanette

Great stay (in spite of the weather!)
Found the property to be exactly as advertised, and then some. All the amenities provided surprised us and made us feel extremely welcome. If not for the uncooperative weather during our visit we would have enjoyed the outdoor spaces much more.
