Favorite place to get a latte. This guy is really into his coffee and puts a lot of love into it. At least every time we have been there. Patio is not the best, inside is nice with very modern decor. They also have food items.

Good food, fun vibe and the kids like it. They also have take out. Crowded with a frequent wait but currently you can get on the wait list in advance using Yelp and they claim you get preference which seems to have worked for us.

Harold's is a large restaurant bar with an old west theme. We found it was good for dinner with the family. It's usually crowded but we have not encountered a significant wait. There is occasionally live music and they also serve breakfast.

Great mountain biking and hiking trails. Google the Cave Creek C4 race route for a great mountain bike loop starting from in Cave Creek. There are horse back rides at a trailhead stable and also great hiking trails.

Great mountain biking and hiking trails. This is a remote and technical ride with hike-a-bike and can be ridden as a big loop from the property or shuttle to spur cross. This is more of an adventure experience and it a tough route so be prepared.

Great mountain biking and hiking trails. Access McDowell trails from here. The Tom's thumb trail is very crowded with hikers and it a difficult ride because it is steep with significant switchbacks. Also any other trails used to make this a loop ride are very rocky and technical but rewarding, just be prepared. This area can also be accessed directly from the property via trails through browns ranch and the gooseneck trail but is a big ride.
