Find peace and solitude at this three-bedroom desert escape!

Check out Desert Classic Tail, Pima Canyon Trail, and Marcos De Niza Trail. It's also excellent for mountain biking, hiking, and running and is only a short drive to grocery stores and many highly-rated local restaurants. Downtown Phoenix's food, shopping, and entertainment are just a short drive away.

Enjoy a 10-feet deep saltwater swimming pool in the ultimate privacy, serenity, and natural surroundings. When temperatures start to dip in the evening, fire up the grill for a poolside cookout. Updated fixtures and appliances will welcome you home in comfort. The full kitchen is equipped with quality kitchen appliances for dine-in cooking, and the wood-burning fireplace in the living area provides ambience and warmth for movie nights. A large, 65' Samsung 4K TV with a backlight is perfect for endless entertainment, while the height-adjustable electric standing desk with a 27' monitor is ideal for your work-cation.

Great Little House

We enjoyed our stay. Nice house. Check in was a little tricky. We didn't have both codes but a two minute phone call solved the issue. It was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the hiking right in the backyard. Recommend this home.

Nice stay. Great hiking access

This is a really nice property. The home is comfortable. The back pool area is lovely and the view is wonderful. The easy access to hours of hiking is a real perk. Would stay again.

Pleasant time in Phoenix

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very comfortable and a good location. We wished the owners would have listed more of the amenities they had in the VRBO as it would have helped with our packing. Only other thing that would have been nice were more restaurant suggestions. Maybe consider a place for your guests to write their recommendations for future guests.

Amazing kitchen, pool, and Mountain View

The kitchen was amazing. The bathrooms and the bedrooms were perfect. The garage was tidy. All of the appliances were brand new and really high-end. The pool was 10 feet deep and 3 feet of the shower rent gorgeous views of the mountains and hiking trails were steps away I would love to comenext year next month.

Hiker's dream home

Great home within a couple hundred feet from some of the best hiking in all of Phoenix. Home was very comfortable and just the right size for three people (couples) to relax. Trailhead access is 5 houses down and you can spend days on trail if you wanted to. Beautiful sunrise/sunset photography options.

Trails were nice

It was nice having easy access to the trails. Furniture does need an upgrade and it was sad we couldn’t use the pool on the two nice days we had. (We did no prior to booking that the pool was unheated).

Just Perfect

House was clean, highly organized, and had everything we needed. Proximity to South Mountain is hard to beat. Access to the trails couldn’t be closer and we saw tons of wildlife right behind the house (Javelinas, coyotes, etc). Backyard was quiet and very enjoyable. Really just a perfect place to stay. We will be back.

Great Spring Getaway

Perfect location to enjoy nearby hikes and the pool (although the water was a bit cold)! We did have a few minor issues upon arrival and it took a little time to get thorough to the Vacasa property management. Once we got ahold of them, they quickly addressed all issues.

Great house and location

We just spent a week in this home and it was perfect. It's a smaller home, but was perfect for us. We loved the convenient location close to I-10 and that it was a short walk to the Pima Canyon trailhead. We struggled a bit at first with a garage code and house code. It's an extra step, but it didn't bother us. The beds were comfy and other furniture was nice. The kitchen had everything we needed - except a coffee pot. They did have a refrigerator and they provided a fabulous selection of coffee and teas. Just an FYI if you like to brew a pot in the morning. We loved the backyard. View was beautiful and lots of sun. This is a great house. We will definitely stay here again.

Disappointed

House was fine other than the patio in the back next to the pool that had a trail of red ants each day. AC was inadequate to keep 70 temp at night. I attempted a late check out. System kept getting errors and by the time I got responses from property management it was too late to achieve due to their policies on late check out. I will avoid this property management in the future.

Amazing 5 star property, frustrating property management

This home is gorgeous, well appointed, wonderfully located, and just as described. We rented this home to be in my cousin’s neighborhood to spend time with family and relax. We loved it. Appreciate all the extras provided from coffee and tea to shampoo and soaps. The home is steps away from an incredible trail system. We hiked every day. There is nothing at all wrong with the home except for the management. Please note the property is managed by Vacasa and they do not check messages on Vrbo. To reach the management about pool heat and early check-in I had to locate the vacasa phone # and go through their complicated phone system. It took multiple phone calls over several days to discover we could not get an early check-in and the property does not have pool heat. So, this home is a must-stay as long as you’re prepared to wrestle with Vacasa bureaucracy if you need assistance.

Quiet Getaway

Pros: Quiet, clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was supplied with mostly everything we needed. The home was situated overlooking a big hill where people climbed daily. It was an awesome view of watchin them climb and at night the coyotes howling. Cons: Furnishing were uncomfortable for the aging adults (low to the ground and very wide seating). The outside patio furniture was worn & rickety. The table was wobbly and a chair broke while sitting in it from being worn. The pool when we arrived was dirty and full of tree pollen. I called in right away but the pool people did not come for 2 days. We arrived on a Tues and they came on Thursday. I spent hours skimming all the tree pollen off in hopes of us being able to swim. They need to make sure to run the filter more and keep the pool clean for guests arriving. Once we got it cleaned off and the filter kicked on the pool started to filter out all the pollen left. After that the pool was clean and we were able to swim and enjoy it. I recently had a knee replacement and found it very hard to get in and out of the pool. The step is very deep and they have no grab bar. I would suggest installing a grab bar not only for people like me but for children as well. I would update the aging patio furniture too.

Spring Training Getaway

The location was great for baseball. The refrigerator did not have a working ice machine which was a big disappointment. We had to buy ice. The area around the pool needed to be swept.I would not recommend for children because the pool was not heated and did not have a handrail. The house was very clean and organized and had all that we needed. It was great to have a grill.
