Whether you're: enjoying a sunrise coffee on the patio or reading a book next to the fireplace, there's always something for you to appreciate about this place. Explore the hidden secrets of Scottsdale, nearby activities include: (We actually tried all of these activities ourselves, and can highly recommend!) Drive to Barlett Lake and cool off in the Summer heat or fish in the Wintertime. (12-person boat rental available at the lake for $250 / 4 hours) Golf at one of the 15+ different Golf courses nearby Horseback riding in Tonto National Forest, it's literally our backyard! (It's about $60 / person, 5 mins from Casa Cactus) ATV, Bike, or Hike on one of the nearby trails (Granite Mountain, Tom's Thumb, & more) Hop on a hot air balloon to catch the sunset over the desert landscape We thoughtfully furnished this home to offer premium hotel-like amenities, while providing more space, comfort and privacy. Our luxury sleeping accommodations make for a peaceful and relaxing night's rest. The kitchen is equipped with a state-of-the-art Bosch kitchen appliance set, as well as the essentials you'll need to prepare a delicious dinner for your loved ones. Our home is equipped with high-speed internet and a mesh wifi network to ensure the signal is reliable and strong throughout the property. Here are some direct quotes from our guests at Casa Cactus: Pros "... Nature lovers will be very pleased with its tranquil spot nestled at the edge of Tonto National Park, and the centuries old saguaro in the backyard is epic. " "... Design appreciators will love its interior which is artful yet minimal and beautifully spacious. " "... Everything is brand new and energetically clean. " "... A serene getaway from the hustle and bustle" "... Communication was immediate and clear every time. Housekeeping was five star, stargazing a billion." Note "... I do recommend a 4x4 car if renting as it makes the dirt road part of the drive more fun :)" "Casa Cactus is 30 minutes away from Old Town Scottsdale, so Instacart is a huge win for this place." ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the villa: WiFi ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool, a heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/123000000/122620000/122610500/122610460/65238a41.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Heated Pool\*Hot Tub\*Game Room\*Golf Chick Family Friendly Luxe Park Scottsdale One - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer CA $245 CA $816 total includes taxes & fees Jan 26 - Jan 27 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-26&endDate=2026-01-27&selected=122610460&PinnedHotelID=122610460&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120410000/120406300/120406245/d0011526.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Family-friendly 4 bd with sparkling heated pool, putting green, games.
