Perfect Prescott

 What do you do to escape the ongoing heat in Phoenix?  Take a short drive north to Prescott!  We did just that after renting a small cottage through Air B n B.  This cute tiny home perched on the hillside was built in 1927 and has been completely remodeled to include two bedrooms and two bathrooms.  Perfect for us and Doris (Don's sister).  Jerry and Sandy (Don's sister and brother-in-law) stayed in a nearby hotel each night.

There were 25 steps from the bottom where we parked our cars up to the porch.  Not too bad unless you were lugging up a cumbersome and heavy ice chest. It looks like Don is standing on the porch orchestrating the process of moving everything up and in!  But he  and Doris ended up with the heavy ice chest.  It had wheels but they sure didn't help much with all the cement steps.😔

The small and intimate living room was just roomy enough for all five of us to sit and relax and watch a movie.  Amazingly, the cottage had 3 flat screen TV's!  One in each bedroom and one in the living room.

The compact dining area was just big enough for 5 of us to play cards or use for dinner.  It was up one big step from the kitchen and had a low ceiling, which meant both Jerry and Don bumped their heads coming out.  I guess that is one great advantage to being short, since Sandy, Doris and I didn't have that problem.😂

  I think the kitchen was a bit larger than one of our bathrooms....and then again, maybe not!  But we

managed to prepare and cook our meals here non the less.  Cozy!  In 1927 this would probably have been considered very large and it made me wonder if it would have even had an icebox or a stove in in.  Maybe they heated the cabin with a wood stove, which they also used for cooking.  It would have been great to see what it looked like almost 100 years ago.

In addition there was even an outside grill, which we used for our evening meals, and a nice sitting area further up the hillside.

Yep, even more steps up from the back porch!
