Beautiful and Relaxing!
We just got back from this amazing vacation and we were blown away with the stay at this house. The owner was there when part of the family arrived and showed us how to work things. We had everything we needed in the house. The views are gorgeous!!! I have been vacationing in AZ for a long time and this was the best! You are surrounded by mountain views and the house is off the beaten path. There was a horse named Ducky next door and you are right by Tonto National Forest. The house is huge and the pool was amazing! My family has stayed in many VRBO houses and I do not usually write a review, but I had to for this house and owners. Everything was perfect and I hope we can go back someday.

Gorgeous property!
Our group of 8 stayed at the property for a week over Christmas. The house is very spacious and provided plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The views from the property are amazing and the house is stocked with everything you might need. We had an issue with the pool heater that the owner resolved asap. Communication was quick and very friendly. I would recommend this house to anyone!

Authentic Arizona Experience
First, let me say, that the property owners were fantastic people and great with communication. The home is as advertised and well-maintained. I found the home to be prepared, beautiful, and full of fun items. The pool and spa were relaxing and appreciated after a long day of cart path-only golfing. Getting to the home is a journey down a dirt road and can be bumpy, but we found a better road on our last day. I feel the road adds to the Arizona experience. Our adventure at the home was excellent and deserving of the highest review. Highly recommend.

The BEST!
Just book it! This is the second time we have stayed here. Once as a family and then just the wife and I. I wish that I could transport the house to southern CA where we live. immaculate, clean, and beautiful. I could write so many things, but to sum it up, the whole experience has been fantastic. It received ONE bad review and after going there twice I realized that whoever wrote the review must be from a different planet. My wife and I were trying to figure out when we can head back to Scottsdale just so we can stay here again.

Hidden Gem on the outskirts of Scottsdale
My family and I absolutely loved this home! It was one of the cleanest VRBO's we have ever stayed at. It was comfortable and provided everything we needed for our 5 night stay. My 2 young boys especially loved this home. From the wildlife we saw everyday, the pool, and game room..it really was a huge hit! All the bedrooms were great with comfortable beds, linens, and pillows. The Master Suite is to die for! The backyard was perfect for entertaining and we especially loved being able to play music throughout the home. While the home is off a dirt road, it is still close enough to the Baseball Spring Training and Golf. We will definitely be coming back!

FANTASTIC FAMILY GETAWAY LOCATION
Went here in January meeting another couple friend of ours from another city. We ALL LOVED this property. QUIET AND PRIVATE! SUPER clean, and WELL outfitted to long comfortable stays. I want to win the lottery and buy this property. LOL! Felt like HOME! COMFORTABLE, SPACIOUS, and our daughter loved staying in the attached Casita with complete privacy away from the other adults. Fast communication from SUPER NICE owners who were VERY kind also. We (not the 2nd couple) got our flight cancelled due to snow in Denver, and the owner was SUPER fast responsive and accommodating to a desperate request to stay an extra day! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING! Want to come back for sure!

Great Property
The property is exactly as advertised on VRBO. It has lots of great features that made our stay very enjoyable. The outside living area around the pool and spa is set up very nicely. It was cool at night when we were there so the pool and spa heaters worked well and allowed us to be in the water. The house is in a very private area - we did not see many people or cars. Also we enjoyed watching the wildlife in the backyard, including a bobcat. Chad promptly answered a few questions we had and went out of his way to make sure we were happy. The only negative was the dirt road getting to the property which had plenty of ruts and bumps. This is an awesome property for a crew of 8 people - highly recommend.

Beautiful home in quiet area
Truly is a fantastic home. 8 adults (4couples) stayed comfortably for 5 nights. The back patio/pool area was very popular, great place to hang out. Master bedroom area is massive. It is a little off the beaten path, down some dirt roads a ways. Might be a con to some, but we saw it as a pro since there were not a lot of neighbors stacked on top of eachother. The only downside we saw is that you are unable to heat both the pool and the spa at the same time, so you have to pick one or the other if you are visiting in cooler months. Had some issues with one of the guest room showers, but the owners said they were going to address it. Owners were easy to communicate with via text and email.

Beautiful home!
This is a beautiful home! Our extended family was visiting Scottsdale and looking for a larger home with 4 bedrooms and 4+ bathrooms. This fit the bill perfectly! We loved the recreation room, the pool and hot tub, and the large family area with big screen TV. It worked great to play games, watch football, and cook some fabulous meals in the large kitchen. We loved the beautiful views!

Amazing Property
What a wonderful spot for my family to spend Thanksgiving week. The home was over the top loaded with amenities, both inside and out. We had everything that we needed to cook all of our meals. We also all had our own bedrooms and bathrooms which was an added bonus for my three adult children. We enjoyed the hot tub every day and saw some amazing sunrises and sunsets from the gorgeous outdoor patio, as well. The owners were very easy to communicate with, and responded very promptly to any questions that we had. I would definitely rent this stunning property again.

Amazing Stay For Our Family
Beautiful property in the most amazing desert area. We stayed for 10 days and had a wonderful time. Jen and Chad are terrific hosts and made the entire process easy and simple. Chad was easy to get a hold of and very helpful. The home is incredible and the pool was lots of fun! We experienced some really great desert wildlife which the kids loved including a beautiful red cardinal and fun frogs. Thanks for giving our family a fun summer vacation.
