Spectacular panoramic Phoenix Valley views and desert mountain hiking /bicycling

This property is located on the mountain preserve border of South Mountain Park, the largest city park in the world. There are wonderful mountain bike trails right from the property, as well as some of the finest hiking in the Phoenix area. While being only a few minutes from Downtown Phoenix, it is very private and quiet, nestled in a scenic desert mountain bowl with coyote and javelina occasionally visiting the site.

There are multilevel decks facing both toward South Mountain and Downtown Phoenix, providing some of the best panoramic scenery in the Phoenix area. If you are looking for quiet time to catch up on reading, fantastic hiking right from the property, and scenic desert vistas, this is the vacation house for you. Although the road is rough, it is worth the drive

We have good news for those who have stayed with us in the past! wifi is still satellite only, but the speeds have increased tremendously and we have upgraded to the fastest option available.

Just to be perfectly transparent: In the summer months (June, July and August) the water runs warm as the distance it travels underground up the mountain is great. It takes a bit for it to cool down.

Amazing location
Our second stay at this home and can’t wait to get back. Everything you could possibly want in a short term rental is here and the views from all three decks are amazing. Close to trails for hiking. A very peaceful location.

Anniversary Trip
The house is amazing.The location was perfect,peace and tranquility except for the Coyotes singing. Pamela thought of all our needs,traveling from the UK and staying 10 days prior and 10 after in hotels,we didn’t need to buy many household items as most was already there .Such a thoughtful thing to do.We were in driving distance to almost everywhere.The 3 decks were used at different times of the day as well as the walking trials around the mountain.Would we go again,in a heartbeat.Thank you Pamela for sharing your home with us.

Amazing stay.
I rent this property every year to come out and visit my daughter... I could not ask for a better location a better view or a better renting experience I am already booked for next year this will be my fourth year staying at this property. It is almost like a home away from home for me now.

Family Reunion over Easter weekend.
Great stay. Great location. Outstanding that pantry items, dry goods, long term use items still available in the fridge and cupboards. Most vaction rentals clear it all out when people leave and then you have to go buy these necessary items along with the groceries. Upstairs floor is a little creaky sounding. Great stay overall, very pleased. Thanks!

peaceful with a stunning view
Thank you to our host for providing a lovely vacation home with all the amenities. Spotlessly clean, this is a bright, airy, and comfortable home. Being on the side of a mountain, the views of the city in front and mountain in back are amazing. Very quiet with very few neighbors.

Gem of a Find!
This house and property are great! The view is awesome! It seems out far, but everywhere in Phoenix was about 20 minutes to a 40 minute drive! Only 20 minutes to the airport! There is food and stores just a few miles away. We loved the deck and hammock! The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful with the view! The house had everthing needed, and more! We saw lots of rabbits, quails, and even a coyote! Within a day, it felt like home! We will 1000% be back!
