About this property

Vacation in the Desert Southwest in a Premier Resort Home w/ private pool.

[Sorry, but the HOA does not allow stays of less than one month.
During the months of June-September and December, if you cannot stay the entire month, I can work a special BOGO rate for those days you aren't able to stay. For example, if you can only stay 3 weeks during any of these months, I'll reduce the 4th week rate to $1.00. That way the HOA rules are met since that 4th week can't be rented to anyone else.]

VIEWS TO DIE FOR! Fully furnished premier resort home overlooking the 5th hole of the private Anthem Persimmon Country Golf Club and framed by a backdrop of stunning mountain views. This exceptional home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 3 car garage, private office with gigabit internet access and an open floor plan with a wall of windows across the back of the house to invite the outdoors inside.

Upscale features include gorgeous high-end granite countertops atop beautiful hickory cabinetry with black cabinet hardware, chef's gas cooktop and a double-oven, lavish new tile flooring and a huge island for entertaining. New high-end microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher.

This resort property is located in the gated neighborhood of The Landing in the beautiful community of Anthem, AZ. This is outside of the country club. Nestled in the foothills of the high Sonoran Desert and just 10 minutes north of Phoenix, Anthem has been voted the #1 planned community in all of America.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the front patio or sit on the back covered patio and watch the breathtaking views of hot air balloons in the morning sky or watch the first golfers of the day working their way towards the 5th green of the Persimmon Country Club. Finish your day under the stars with a glass of wine or a cocktail while sitting around the gas fire pit flames dancing in the nighttime sky. We've even provided colorful blankets for you to wrap up in on a cool evening.

The backyard has panoramic views of Daisy Mountain, Gavilan Peak and the Persimmon Country Club. It is a fabulous spot for entertaining or just relaxing. With no one directly behind this property or on the north side, it is very private.

Love Anthem
Many thanks to Pat, Dan and Jodi for a great stay. We stayed nearly 3 weeks at the end of a road trip across the South West. Fantastic house and location. Clearly a home not a rental newly decorated and furnished plus super well equipped with every detail you will need from bathroom and kitchen supplies to every dish and pot you can imagine. Of course spotlessly clean. Mains gas BBQ and new pool great to enjoy Important for the hotter months the garden faces east, so from mid day the back of the house and seating area is in the shade, but sun still on the pool deck until 5 if you want to top up the tan. We are from the UK but know the area well. We choose Anthem as a great base to explore the area. Very quick to get to everything on I17 but a great community to chill out in. Even in the July heat we took daily early morning walks from the house to and around the community park. The house is in a great gated community and other then the odd golf club and ball connecting you can’t hear anything from the house and garden, other than the birds and occasional rabbit bouncing by :) Dan and Jodi who take care of things locally were super helpful and attentive , many thanks guys. Can’t think of any negatives Enjoy

The best property we’ve ever stayed at!
We’ve stayed at several homes in this area, and this is the nicest property we’ve rented. We couldn’t be more pleased with our stay. The house is beautiful, the furnishings are great and the area is terrific. The backyard is quiet, scenic and private. The community is very nice with walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The interior is spacious and comfortable. The furniture is high-quality and comfortable. The kitchen as well, appointed, and even stocked with a few items you may need. The backyard is awesome. Great views and nice furnishings. The grill is large and an outdoor refrigerator is nearby. Lots of quality outdoor furniture too. The gas fire pit is awesome at night. All of this is surrounding a beautiful pool. And there’s a nice seating area in front of the house for morning coffee. The owners were great to work with. They communicated everything with us very clearly before we arrived. We had no problems while we’re there. But if there was anything that needed attention, we had the name and number of of someone to help. They also contacted us after we arrived to make sure everything was OK. You won’t be disappointed with this property!

Everything We Wanted and Expected!
We found our Summer Vacation Property! The Home was perfect: clean, beautifully decorated, and well stocked! What a nice, quiet neighborhood and close to "downtown" shops, restaurants, and the park. And as nice as the House was...the outdoor space and the view was even better. We spent most of our time outside in and by the pool. The sunrise coming up over the mountains and and the view of the golf course was spectacular! We prepared most of our meals outside on the grill and ate at the bar while enjoying the view. The outdoor TV was an added bonus! When we were inside, the kitchen had everything we needed. While prepping food indoors, I was able to watch and keep up on national news and sports with the large TV w/ surround sound and DVR in the living room. The Master was large and the bed was very comfortable. The Master Bath was spacious with a large walk in closet, plenty of room for both of us! Every bedroom and the living room had a huge ceiling fan that kept the cool air moving. Pat and Dan were readily available for any questions we had about the home or area. We can't wait until next year! Steve and Sandy Bryan

Top Notch Experience in Every Way
My husband and I have done quite a few vacation rentals in recent years. This property and owners set the bar high for future rentals. They truly deserve top rankings across the board. We rented for the month of December, which for us was the longest period of time we have ever rented. Some things to highlight: - home and yard were pristine which during COVID environment was especially reassuring; - the backyard was our oasis- evening fires, outdoor kitchen food prep and dining, football watching on the patio, comfortable seating and great views; - even though we chose not to heat the pool due to added cost we loved turning on the water and light effects to add to the ambience; - hiking was a quick walk down the street to Daisy Mountain and surrounding area; - communication with owner was top notch sharing info in a timely and proactive manner; - part of the month I worked remotely and was able to do so seamlessly with reliable WiFi, a private office and access to printer; - little touches like nice decor, high quality linens, outdoor blankets for cool evenings and adequate supply of paper products to get us started was greatly appreciated; - although being up in Anthem was a bit further from family and friends in south valley, we really enjoyed being so much closer to Jerome, Sedona, Cave Creek etc - shopping could not be more convenient; - the community is safe, friendly and quiet. For these reasons and many more we would highly recommend this home for others. Thank you so much for a first rate experience.

Gorgeous home in a nice location
This is a beautiful house in a lovely gated community. The home is decorated like a model house and has every possible amenity including tasteful furnishings, comfortable beds and all that one needs right down to utensils and cookware. The golf course view from the living room window is lovely. There are lots of birds and the sunrises and sunsets are fantastic. The swimming pool is fabulous, with sparkling water features and colored lights. The hosts Pat and Paulette are very nice people who go out of their way to be helpful and to see that you are comfortable. Communication is superb. I enjoyed my stay immensely and would love to return again soon.

Fantastic, what a wonderful home, a five star resort.
If your lucky enough to find this home available jump on it. Pat's home is spotless and has everything you need for a great stay in Anthem. Pool, plenty of lounge chairs and outside furniture, great views outside, large granite island to sit at in the kitchen, huge TV in living room. Plenty of beds, pillows, blankets, towels, dishes. I could go on for ever. This home is spotlessly clean and well kept. A great experience, hoping to return soon.

About the host

Hosted by Pat Taffe

Host profile image
We purchased this vacation home in 2015. We love the Anthem area so much, we sold our first vacation home that we purchased in 2008 and upgraded to this larger home. We live in MN and love coming to AZ to get away from the cold and snow! We hope to spend more and more time in Anthem in the coming years. We're anxious to share our lovely home with you.

Why they chose this property

We love the Sonoran desert foothills of Anthem. Anthem's fabulous Community Park is just steps from the house. The park contains several picnic ramadas, a man-made lake for catch and release fishing, the Daisy Mountain scale model railroad train for the kids (and adults), numerous soccer and ball fields, roller-hockey rink, and hiking trails. We enjoy the numerous outdoor concerts and events in the park.

What makes this property unique

My favorite thing to do is to fire up the gas grill while guests are seated around the bar enjoying a refreshment. We love the HEATED pool and the miles of walking trails that start outside our front door.
