Fantastic property. Clean and spacious kitchen/ living room/ bedroom spaces. Large fridge. We cooked 95% of meals here. Lots of pool towels provided. Pool/ spa/ patio make it super enjoyable to spend all day outside. Shade or sun whenever you want. Supremely tranquil area. No noise or light pollution. Gorgeous mountains surrounding area. Sad to leave!

This was a great house to relax and enjoy. The patio with a beautiful view of the mountains and sunrises was amazing. The only drawback is how far out it is from everything as far as going to dinner or getting groceries.

Our family had a great week at this amazing home. We loved the pool and outdoor space. We lived poolside for the week. The kitchen was well stocked and inspiring to cook in. Communication with the hosts was timely and easy. We made awesome family memories and hope to return. The kids said their beds were so comfy. The primary bedroom, bath and closet were a retreat unto themselves. We did not mind the distance from 'town' - got used to it and appreciated the adventure. All around a wonderful week - highly recommend.
Our happy place.
Went horseback riding close by.
The pool fire features are awesome!

Wonderful!

We had a week-long trip with three generations and this home is a 10/10! We take a trip like this every year and it’s always in a different location, but we’re now thinking we may come back to this special home. The home lay-out is perfect, it’s incredibly well stocked with kitchen items and the game room that opens to the pool area was all of our favorite. The location is a bit remote, but the home is so great, it doesn’t even matter.

Great family get away

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property! It was exactly as described in the listing and more than met our expectations. The home was well appointed and very clean. For a family vacation with "adult children" this was the perfect home. The communication process before during and after the stay was superb. The house is out of town and very private without feeling like you are too far from amenities such as the store. I would recommend the property to friends and family and would most definitely stay again!

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!

Stunning Home

Home was gorgeous. Wanted a place where we could go as a family and our adult kids and each bring a friend. It was perfect. Huge house, great outdoor setup for entertainment with game room with retractable windows. Had a nice relaxing vacation with our kids plus two bonus kids. Would highly recommend and would love to rent it again. A little far out but it was perfect not being on top of anyone. Hosts were very responsive and great communication. A rating!

While easy to find, this property is a bit out of the way. However, a little extra time to get there is well worth it. Between the kiva, outdoor kitchen, pool, hot tub, bar that opens to outdoors and outdoor fire features, this house is plenty nice to be a destination. Owner is very friendly and helpful. We will definately be back!

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!

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!
