A wonderful few days in this gorgeous house

We stayed here for a few days before flying back to the UK. The house was beautiful - pristine, spacious and, above all, cool. We loved the pool and the peaceful garden. And a great part of Tempe, too. Thank you, Maryann!

The Lakes—A Great Choice

Spotless, beautifully decorated, well-maintained property—inside and out. It was a perfect location for our month-long stay. We, including our dog, were more than comfortable. The well-stocked kitchen and two TV areas were appreciated. Highly recommend.

Stayed 2 weeks with our kids and grandkids. The house was clean and comfortable. Pool was great, we paid to have it heated since we had really young kids. The owners are always available and got back to us right away if we had questions. Location was on a quiet street but so close to everything! Would stay here again.

Excellently refurbished interior along with terrific floor plan. Experience compromised by tree trimming crews, landscapers, pool cleaners and rules on who can come visit during stay... and you can't even park in the driveway...

Comfortable Stay in Tempe

We loved staying at this property for an extended period. The property owners thought of everything and were very reachable. WiFi was great for working remotely. Highly recommend for someone coming for an extended period… or visiting a student at ASU. Very comfortable home. Wish were coming at a time where we could have used the inviting pool, too!

About the host

Hosted by Maryann Wolf

Host profile image
We are entrepreneurs that enjoy each other and love sharing with others. We accidentally fell into renting homes when our jobs relocated us to different cities, and we would commute between our house in Las Vegas and our home in Scottsdale. Both of us enjoy U.S. and International Travel and enjoy meeting and talking with people from all different places and cultures. Many guests return year after year and truly become more than visitors.

Why they chose this property

We live in a Lake Community in Chandler and when the opportunity arose to purchase a home also in a lake community we couldn’t resist. The Lakes of Tempe provides a tranquil environment, while also being just a short drive to Arizona State University (ASU). We personally love exploring all the different restaurants, boutiques, museums and parks Tempe has to offer. Our home is just a 2-minute walk to the lake front and a short drive to Tempe Beach Park, and shopping at the Tempe Marketplace. It is also only 15 minutes to Old Town Scottsdale’s entertainment area.

What makes this property unique

Being a Lake community, we decided a Lake theme would be ideal for decorating our home. You will enjoy the bright and airy rooms, the wainscoting on the walls, the original photographs of birds, and some of the character pieces placed around the home. We felt it was important to have two TV or meeting areas, so we always look for homes with a Living Room and Family Room. We enjoy the feel green grass provides which is also important to creating a relaxing environment. The pool is a must, heated (for a fee) in the winter, and heated by the sun perfectly in the summer. We are dog lovers and will accept up to 3 dogs, prior approval is required and a pet fee is charged. Everything about this property is designed to provide comfort and relaxation.
