NEIGHBORHOOD ATTRACTIONS:

Sierra House is located in the Melrose Paradise neighborhood of Phoenix, north of downtown, nestled between the Phoenix Mountains Preserve to the South and Paradise Valley and Scottsdale with all of their restaurants and shopping to the Southeast. State Route 51 is less that half a mile away and that will take you to Downtown Phoenix/the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. Getting around the Phoenix metro area is easiest by car. If you don't have a vehicle, Uber and Lyft do service the entire Valley area, but if you're looking to try something futuristic that is only offered (currently) in 2 cities in the US, Phoenix and San Francisco, Waymo is a driver-less transportation alternative to traditional ride sharing apps and is typically less expensive as well.

There are several fantastic dining options nearby -

Breakfast/Coffee -

Chompie's - This is a New York style deli. The fresh bagels and bialys are highly recommended. Don't forget to try the pastries as well.
Dunkin' - a national favorite
Press Coffee - a local coffee shop
Scooter's Coffee - a drive-thru coffee and smoothie shop

Lunch -

Bootlegger's - This is a hip BBQ joint that offers slow smoked meats, sides, and shared plates. Make sure to try one of their famous Moonshine cocktails and their Deviled Eggs! Happy Hour is 3-6 Monday through Friday.
OHSO Brewery - This local brewery has several types of beer, brewed in house, as well as burgers and other American style bites. They also have a dog friendly patio if you want to bring along the pups!

Dinner -

Rusconis - This seasonal and locally sourced dinner spot has wood-fired New American dishes and the restaurant is so chic! The menu is constantly being updated and shifted, but the risotto is always a good choice.
Michelina's - Michelina's has been serving amazing Southern Italian food for over 35:years in the same location. This is a testament to its ambiance and quality cuisine. The Piccata is a house staple you won't want to miss.

Great house, exactly as pictured. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed - I actually cooked, which I almost never do at rental homes. The backyard is beautiful and I really enjoyed spending time poolside.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here

The location is quite nice, pretty central to all I needed. The yards were perfect for my little dog. Everything I could have needed was there. The house was nicely stocked. It was a bit cool for me or I would have used the pool but the backyard was so nice it was enjoyable to just relax. The beds were comfortable. It was just a very enjoyable stay. The property manager was terrific! Probably the best I've worked with. I would definitely return to Sierra house.

Great place to stay in the north of Phoenix.

My husband and I stayed here over a three day weekend. The house was super cute and well laid out. The kitchen was stocked with the basics and coffee and seasonings. The bed was soft and lovely. Backyard and dope front yard are completely closed in which is perfect for a stay with a dog. We didn’t use the pool but it looked like a good time. It was January so way too cold. The front yard was def my favorite part of the house. The cute little sitting areas were fun. Manager was extremely responsive.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this gorgeous house! It was immaculate, comfortable, and a very relaxing environment. Super happy we choose this house as opposed to another starchy AZ resort. The host was very friendly, responsive, and professional. This listing should go to the top of your list!
