Have been to Cave Creek a few times mainly just to pick up some world famous Cave Creek Chili Beer to bring home when in Phoenix.
Have friends that live part of the year in one of the neighborhoods of the master planned community of Bison Ranch It is between Payson and Show Low Az in OverGaard, Az. It sits at an elevation of over 6000 ft making it popular in the summer when people want to escape the heat of the desert valley. We have visited but have never stayed there, but it sure looks like a great place to relax and do some horseback riding. We had fun just browsing the shops and grabbing something to eat. The center of town is like going back to the Wild Wild West but with modern conveniences.
Here is a website, if you don't already have it. Sorry we couldn't be of more help. Mike
