Great, comfortable stay in central location!

We were in Phoenix for the first time to attend a family wedding. Loved how close the property was to everyplace we wanted to visit.Dawn's home was comfortable and a nice respite from all the wedding festivities. We were able to cook some meals too in her well stocked kitchen.Our family of three relaxed in her spacious home, appreciated having large bedrooms and our own bathrooms, and enjoyed the pool.Thanks, Dawn, for having us, for promptly answering our questions, and for been a clear communicator from booking through check out.D

Peaceful Oasis in the Heart of Mesa!

We had an amazing stay at this property in Mesa, Arizona! Located in a nice, quiet neighborhood, it was the perfect home base for our family of four. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed—from a fully stocked, functional kitchen to clean, cozy bedrooms and bathrooms. The outdoor pool was a huge hit with our kids, complete with seating and floats for relaxing in the sun.It’s conveniently located close to surrounding neighborhoods and the city, making it easy to explore or just enjoy a quiet night in. The host was incredibly responsive and available via text whenever we had a question. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped home away from home!

Great stay!

We came down to attend a graduation at ASU and just explore the area. We had two kids and three adults in our party and the house had plenty of space. It was tooo cold to enjoy the pool but the yard was nice and there was a grapefruit tree in the back yard that had the best grapefruit! Communication with the owners was so simple and she was super responsive. The location was close to everything which made getting around super easy.

Great location, easy access to Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe & East Valley

We really appreciated the large dining area, and space in the house. It's very comfortable. The neighborhood has easy access to the 101 and US60, so we didn't spend our whole visit getting somewhere. Too cold for pool, but lovely yard.

Ease for ASU!

Made a girls weekend out of my daughters college tour at ASU. The home is very clean, well appointed (even had a portable cooler for an easy day of hiking!). The beds are super comfy and the home was decorated in lovely colors and linens. Area is quiet, close drive to everywhere we needed to go. The pool was clean too!

Spring Vacay

This is the second time I've stayed at Dawn's property, and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a spacious, comfortable, relaxing home in a safe, quiet neighborhood with close access to Scottsdale, downtown Tempe, ASU, numerous restaurants, and hiking trails. My mom and I welcomed family and friends to hang out and swim in the gorgeous pool, grilled out, and visited often on the patio. Dawn is excellent at communicating and answering all questions promptly, and we intend to return because she makes it feel like a home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Hehr

Host profile image
We love to vacation in Arizona and have tons of family located near Tempe. Our daughter just graduated from ASU! We are both originally from Illinois, just outside of Chicago.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the layout of the house and of course the fabulous pool. This home was a short distance to ASU and yet in a very quiet, but great central location.

What makes this property unique

Ranch home with very large rooms and master bedroom and dining room have direct access to the large pool. Fabulous grapefruit tree in the back yard. Wonderful covered patio with ceiling fan and dining table with gas grill. Right behind the home is a bike and walking path, for a quick morning ride or walk.
