Outstanding accomodations and beautiful setting

We found this property to be absolutely perfect for our family to gather and reunite so we could be close to the wedding venue at Bartlett Lake. The attention to detail in cleanliness, gourmet kitchen, delightful rooms and great indoor and outdoor spaces were pleasant and enjoyable for all ages. The communication with the wonderful host was prompt and friendly. We will definitely keep this place in mind for future visits. Top-notch in all areas!

PHENOMENAL Property!

Absolutely stunning home! Immaculate, exceptionally decorated, and gorgeous pool area. JB (owner) was hands-down the most responsive host we’ve ever had. House is located in a gated community…which resulted in a quiet, peaceful, and luxurious stay. HIGHLY recommend…do not miss!

Wonderful Vacation Home

The home was perfect for our extended vacation in Scottsdale. The setting was peaceful and we particularly enjoyed the outdoor spaces where we could view desert wildlife. The pool and spa were both top notch. The house was well equipped and every room was beautifully furnished. We look forward to another stay!

Beyond expectations!

When I booked this location, I felt satisfied that I had found a very nice place to spend some much needed time away. I had no idea that I had booked such a lovely property, with so many amenities, in such a beautiful location. My partner and I were very (extremely!) pleased with every aspect of of our stay. Although I am certain this review could tip the balance for other potential guests, I am secretly hoping that not too many will reserve the property; we hope to visit again...and again!

Family getaway

This property was a perfect spot for our family to meet up for Thanksgiving. It was both spacious and cozy all at once. This is near enough to Cave Creek and Carefree to be very convenient. We enjoyed hiking in the area and just hanging out at the house in the pool and spa. Would highly recommend.

House was exceptionally clean, and very well done especially in regards to finishes. Very updated, And the photos, barely do it justice. Beautiful, wraparound patio with lovely exposed beams.

Quick trip to the sunshine

Beautiful property in a great area in North Scottsdale near Cave Creek. Loved the pool with waterfall. Loved the quiet location. House is exceptional. It was only my husband and I, but the floor plan is split and all rooms are suites so would easily accommodate a group. Owners were very easy to work with. Highly recommend this property.

Beautiful home in a fun location

Our stay could not have been better. The home is even more beautiful than the pictures. It’s an amazing luxury home in a great location. It’s in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful views but great hiking and nice restaurants and entertainment are close. John made the whole process easy and could not have been nicer. We will be back again soon.

Sonoran delight

Property elite. Pictures do not do it justice. Well designed home with amenities you can’t even imagine. All appliances are spectacular. Outdoor veranda even more impressive. The pool and spa and the stars at night with a morning sunrise for coffee impeccable. So quite very private. So close to world class shops and wonderful restaurants. Highly recommended.

Desert LIVIN’

Magnificent home set in the gated community of Desert Mountain. We settled on this property as it wasn’t too far from TPC Scottsdale and we wanted a big kitchen to cook at home in the evening. The place was spotless and featured a proper sized pool and spa to enjoy the Arizona sunsets. I would highly recommend this to a group of four couples as all bedrooms feature king or queen beds. John was a great host and responded quickly whenever we had a simple question. 5-stars no doubt. ENJOY!
