Great place for a family

The property was great. The couches were not that comfortable, but the owners addressed that the day of our departure so I would imagine the property is a complete home run now.

Nice home

Overall a great place to stay! The neighborhood has good walking paths, the house was clean and well cared for, the pool was fantastic… having family members that are rather tall the beds were perfect as no foot boards but the living room furniture was a bit small and close together. But really, it was a great place to stay and would do so again.

We had a wonderful stay. The homw was comfortable, clean, and very well stocked. The neighborhood was quiet and close to everything you could want/need. We spent a huge amount of time relaxing by the pool, reading, having meals, and just enjoying the winddown from a very full summer. We would definitley come back for another stay.

Awesome place - bright and comfortable

We had a great relaxing time. The weather got a little hotter than expected but with the pool and covered patio we were very comfortable. Golf courses were only a short 15min drive away. The house is well laid out and had everything we needed. Great place!! Thanks

Great first experience!

We had a wonderful time ! The property was very clean and comfortable! We had a hiccup with the heater on the pool and the owners responded and fixed it promptly. They also offered and reimbursed us for the inconvenience ! Will hopefully be able to stay there again in the future , as our son and family live close by !

We were so impressed with the home which is tucked in a very quiet neighborhood. The beds were very comfortable and total cleanliness throughout the house. We brought our 2 small dogs and the back yard was a blessing all fenced in with artificial turf so safe. We will stay here again and recommend to everyone! Thank you 😊

It felt like home away from home.

Everything I needed for our stay was already provided in the home. All cookware, grilling tools, towel for showing and the pool, sunscreen, after sun care. They thought of so many little details I wasn't expecting. The home was also well cleaned. The host was responsive and made sure our needs were met. I highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Angela Vaith

Host profile image
Dan and Angela (aka Dangela) welcome you to our home. We are originally from Minnesota and are long-time Minnesota Vikings football fans—had season tickets for 17 years. We made the move to Arizona in August 2011 to escape the cold and snow and to be outdoors. And yes, we still cheer for the Vikings and now the Cardinals!
Remember, you don't have to shovel sunshine!

Why they chose this property

This home was previously owned by Dan’s dad in Minnesota, who became ill, was no longer able to travel and Snowbird, and is now at peace. We purchased the home from his dad are not only happy to keep the home in our family and have this reminder of special memories but also to share our home with you in hopes you will make new, special memories as well. We are excited for you to discover all that Arizona has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Originally when we were searching for homes with my dad, this was the last house we saw and we both immediately fell in love with it. It was absolutely a perfect getaway home that was on a corner lot with a pool in a desirable area in Rancho Gabriela. We loved how spacious it feels with the vaulted ceilings and the natural light that comes in the home.
