Year Purchased: 1999
Why the Owner Chose GoodyearEstrella Mountain Ranch is a very unique community located in a gorgeous setting in the Estrella Mountains with two lakes, golf course, star gazing monument and much more. The house is custom and in a very private setting. You are surrounded by desert scenery including saguro cactus and moutains and lake views. Yet the house is near downtown Phoenix, Scottsdale, Sedona and even just a 2.5 hour drive to Sedona and Palm Springs!
The Unique Benefits at this HouseThe sunsets and views from our home are AMAZING! The evening star gazing is incredible! Our guests enjoy a large covered patio that backs up to the pool and spa with seamless indoor outdoor activity. You may see a bobcat, quail, a cottontail and other desert wildlife. Our spa and pool are surrounded by estrella mountain reserve for ultimate privacy! PLease don't be fooled by so called vacation homes that are tract homes with no privacy or views at all!

Owner's Map of Goodyear
Hello, my name is Lynn. I am the former owner of a very successful Commercial Real Estate Company in New Jersey which I recently sold. I have over 25 years of Commercial Real Estate experience and over 200 million dollars in personal sales. My expertise was in listing, contract negotiations, marketing and property development. I was all about business, however, I wanted to do something more creative and fun. Back in 1998 while traveling from Kauai I had a conversation with a woman who was in the high end home vacation rental business. She had homes all over the world and this intrigued me. I started to research information and bought my first property in Goodyear, Az., Estrella Mountain Ranch; it is a custom home with a pool and spa with great views and privacy! I went on and purchased Poipu Villa Vista in Kauai, Hawaii with ocean, golf course, mountain and crater views and an international vacation home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, with a rooftop deck and views of the entire city. Our latest purchase was in Lake Como, New Jersey it is a seaside community just a half block from the lake and eight blocks from the ocean. Owning vacation properties gives me a chance to be creative in renovating and decorating these custom homes to correspond with thier locations. Our goal is to have the stay for our guests become a special and unique experience and create memories for them that they will cherish forever. We live in a stressful world and each property has a calming effect that our guests love. They let us know we have achieved this by thier comments!

This is our fifth visit to Estrella Mountain Escape since 2004. The house is comfortable for our extended family reunions. Originally we came to the house to attend baseball spring training. Our subsequent visits have been to relax and enjoy the accommodations and swimming pool and the beautiful surroundings of this home. The outdoor living provided by the beautiful patio, the flag stone terrace, the fenced and gated pool can't be matched in other rentals we have seen. Our grandchildren are young and the security provided by the fenced pool allows the adults to relax. Hiking the mountain at the back of the house is a favorite activity. The views from the top are amazing. We also enjoyed the addition of the stores and use of the Starpointe Club facility this year. We enjoy the peace and quiet and the sounds of the birds. The owner/manager responded quickly to any issues which arose. Thanks for another excellent experience.
Owner response:We are so pleased our wonderful return "snowbirds" are happy with beautiful, private Estrella Mountain Escape vacation home. They are a pleasure to have as guests and so appreciative of the property and area! Thanks again for making our home "your" home every two years!

We had an outstanding time. A couple of issues but Lynn looked after them the same day even though she was in Mexico on her Holiday. Great Pool/Hot-Tub Great Home with lots of room very Quite. So you will really enjoy the walks on Estrella North and South Lakes takes exactly 1 hour from the house if you do both. We stayed 1 month and really enjoyed the Golf Club at Estrella approx 1 mile from the house and make sure you get the residence rates. Most shopping is a ways away but not a real big problem we used our Garmin a lot. Thanks again Lynn we really had a great time.

My family absolutely loved our stay. We have three boys, who loved swimming in the pool and hiking up the hill behind the house. The house had everything we needed and was very homey. We had a very relaxing trip and look forward to renting the house again in the future.
Owner response:We are so pleased that our Canadian guests enjoyed Estrella Mountain Escape. We look forward to your next visit. Best Regards!

Delay in returning Security deposit
Guest: First time VRBO renters

Review Submitted: 04/11/11
This was our first time renting from VRBO. Unfortunately, it may be our last. Good comments: Very nice property, very clean, very quiet, got a little discount since it was just my husband and I and Lynn was very helpful when we accidently locked ourselves outside (she quickly called the housekeeper who came to let us in within 15 min). Bad comments: Dishwasher had 2-3 in. of water in the bottom when we arrived, Master shower would not drain....however Lynn did try to schedule service people for both but we didn't want to spend out vacation days waiting for service calls. Worst comment: Security deposit was not returned for over 42 days despite repeat requests via email. I just think if you sign an 11 page contract, you will be held accountable. I believe the owner should also honor the contract which states it will be returned within 21 days. First there was a promise that it would be to us by "the end of the month". When it did not arrive, I sent another email. This time it was "because the computers crashed and were down for 2 weeks with all of the information" HUH? sorry, don't believe it.
Owner response:We are happy our guest enjoyed our beautiful home. Despite some problems we responded very quickly and corrected any and all situations. Unfortunately they are not accurate in thier comments about the return of security deposit. Our contract states "within21 days of departure date" our guest departed on the 17th security was due on the 9th of March. Here is my record of their deposit return 3/9 check # 1515 mailed 3-29. Thier security deposit was in fact 20 days late not 42 days as stated above. Our guests need to read paragraph 6 of thier agreement. Our computer did in fact crash at this time and then Quickbooks took 3 weeks to be properly reloaded. A person that runs thier business on computer can understand this. We try but it's impossible to make "everyone" happy. We are not pleased but this was our very first somewhat negative review! But anyway, our best regards to our guests from Portland, Oregon.

We have been renting the house for 4 years and absolutely love it and it is well equipped with everything you need, Mt Estrella is beautifully decorated but comfortable we call it our home away hacienda. One of our favorite things is the private pool and hot tub and the fact we are at the base of the mountain and don't have neighbors right next door :) and also that we can walk 2 blocks to the park and get a 5 mile walk in around the the 2 lakes in the morning. It is a perfect getaway from alaska in the winter :)
Owner response:We are so pleased that our guests return and enjoy the beauty of Estrella Mountain Escape year after year and join us from all over the United States and world! The privacy and views are just fantastic and we are happy our guests can unwind and relax in a peaceful and private setting. We will do our best to cater to the needs of our guests!

We can highly recommend this luxury home for a getaway. The immaculate house, the comfortable and clean patio with its great grill and the pool with its setting with great views up the mountain took our breath away. Everything was in working order and very well appointed. The kitchen was very well equipped including a separate wine refrigerator.
Owner response: We are so pleased you enjoyed your holiday in the sun with your group from Switzerland! It is so nice to be appreciated! We spend a lot of time keeping our home up to the highest standards! Sincerley, Lynn Estrella Mountain Ranch owner

We had a wonderful stay in your home. It is perched in a great location and ideal for gatherings. We had a large dinner one night in the dining room and a gathering under the patio on another night. Perfect! The house was more than comfortable for all. The community was also a pleasant surprise with a small mart and cafe nearby. Thanks again!

We rented this property for a girls/mom get-away. The house was beautiful and in excellent condition. We loved having a private pool and a jacuzzi in a private backyard. The neighborhood and the surrounding views are stunning. We had great accommodations and we would rent this property again!
