3 Reviews & Comments About Prescott
We went to Apple Creek Cottages for the week of 4th of July. The place was so cute and quaint. I love that there is a town center. The hotel was fantastic too...they are dog friendly, which made our life so much easier. A lot of the restaurants in Prescott were also dog friendly, which surprised me. I live in Los Angeles and this is such a nice get away. It feels like a town you would see in tv shows or movies, not a place that really exists.
Look for dog friendly places...if you like dogs you can bring yours with you and not have to leave your fur baby at home, and if you don't then you know where to avoid. Also the rodeo they do every 4th of July was a blast and the Pulled Pork BBQ was amazing!!!
Of all the places I've been to and lived in so far, in America, I loved the small town charm and beautiful landscapes of Prescott. I had so much fun in the Dells, and even filmed while there because of the majestic beauty. The people were nice and it truly felt like home. I miss it.
The Granite Dells, Hastings media store, and the small natural market. These were my favorite places to visit in Prescott, AZ.
1 in 5 homes sits vacant in AZ because there are many people who have vacation homes. Northern AZ is amazing. I was born and raised in PHX and yes, the heat is crazy hot there and crime is bad in certain parts. I live in Prescott, AZ now, where 80% of the population here is from California so if it's that bad why are they leaving Orange County in droves to come here- The weather here is amazing. Usually the lowest it gets in the winter is 40-50 during the day and 80's-low 90's in the summer. I live 2 minutes from several amazing lakes and mountain formations. Other areas of Prescott, AZ have acres and acres of Ponderosa pines. Very low crime.
