We really enjoyed our stay. Fran and Ken were great hosts and very responsive during our stay. We loved the mountain views, sunsets and hot tub. We decided to bring our dog last minute and Fran was perfectly fine with it.

Nice location, beautiful wraparound porch, great views, hot tub, grill, and fire pit. Open concept floor plan with lots of sitting area.

Wonderful Phoenix Views, Excellent Casita...

These casitas are on a hill with outstanding views. They are just off Highway 101 and provide excellent access to all that Phoenix has to offer. They are on the edge of Scottsdale and within 20 minutes of Salt River Baseball Fields. We found some fun places to dine nearby and the hot tub was very nice. This was a lovely place to stay and very comfortable and we can't say enough about the beautiful views, with large Saguaro cactus all around the outside of the house. A Great Time...

Great experience overall but the property could use some TLC

The location and view was terrific just as advertised and the property was clean. Two negative issues were the loud rooftop heating system (not an issue if it is warm but I was there during a cold snap), and a nasty smell coming from the washer/dryer closet (maybe some unresolved dampness that should be addressed). Overall good and I would stay there again just for the view from the hot tub if nothing else.

It was ok!

Previous criticisms for critiques of this property are accurate, it is a well-worn and unkept VRBO property. Needs a lot of update but, if you’re OK with worn out it’s just fine.

Great Couple Retreat Spot

If you are looking for a private casita with a hot tub and great views, this is the spot! The cottage sits on a small mountain, so be prepared for a stiff grade going uphill! We stayed a week and enjoyed the property which did allow our two small dogs, thank you! Beware, coyotes are in the area so take your fur babies outside at night on a leash! The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. The sofas were comfy and there were many outside seating choices. Sunsets were special here!We had good correspondence with the property manager as they dropped off closet hangers within 1 hour as there were none in the bedroom. There are some things deferred maintenance issues, however. The vent fan in the single bathroom was not working; no sink plunger or catch screen (not good for someone wearing contacts); the double doors to the bedroom were not operating properly due to issues with attachment to the frame (could not close from the great room to have someone watch TV while someone slept.); the refrigerator is leaking water onto the floor periodically.Overall, you will have a nice stay at the lovely property with a rating of 4.5 out of 5.

Not worth it.

Not good. We had issues with several items including hot tub, internet, window blinds, clothes washer, shower, beds & bedding, heat, BBQ, electricity (circuit breaker). There is an intermittent smell of sewer from the patio (hot tub location). Also, we were disappointed with a few small things like a lack of new sponges, garbage bags and dishwasher soap. The owners do not provide basic instructions for anything including internet or garbage removal. There is no modem/router on the premises so the speed is ridiculously slow. We stayed for 6 days and were unable to get adequate internet and noticed hot tub bumps on the 3rd day. We requested a partial refund and were denied by the owner. Moreover, we discovered messages from previous disgruntled guests - so we assume mismanagement is an ongoing issue here.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOUSE

Stay away from this VRBO house! The posting is misleading and the house is not as advertised. The house sits on such a steep incline that the driveway is virtually inaccessible without a four wheel drive vehicle and an experienced and skilled driver. Be prepared to park at the bottom of the road leading to the house and make the long climb up to the house with all of your luggage. To make matters worse, the central air does not reach the bedroom or the bathroom, so both rooms stayed freezing cold during our stay. There was a small space heater provided, but was loud and did nothing to help. To add insult to injury, the furnace itself is so loud you can't hold a conversation while it's running, which makes it nearly impossible to relax and enjoy the house. On top of that, the shower drips constantly, takes a full ten minutes to warm up, and ran out of hot water after just one and a half showers. The entire interior of the house is coated with a layer of dust, which is not only unsightly but also unsanitary. The mattress is old, lacks support and stability, and sinks in on the edges, which made for a terrible night's sleep. We were incredibly disappointed with this VRBO rental and left after just one night of our seven night rental. We would not recommend it to anyone. Save your money and stay somewhere else.

Amazing views!!!

Great place to unwind and watch the sunset, hot air balloons and have dinner on the balcony and then enjoy the evening in the hot tub. We hiked all over from Tempe to Sedona and we really looked forward to this awesome perch/nest on the hill at the end of the day. Morning coffee was a treat on balcony or hot tub. We loved the openness and privacy of the place. Would definitely recommend and return.

About the host

Hosted by Fran Titze

Kent and Fran are from Nebraska and are Huskers through and through. Most of our family are within a mile and we are very thankful to be able to see our kids and grandkids on a regular basis. We have two Golden Retrievers which fill our hearts every day!

Why they chose this property

This was the first vacation rental we bought and now have four on the same mountain. We have made a theme in each house and decorated accordingly. It make them very unique and with the views that each house has, it stands out among many! The MIrage with an Island theme, is a spacious one bedroom with sunsets you won't forget

What makes this property unique

We are close to interstate 17, 51 and the 101 which makes it very easy to get going quickly. Cafe's, bars, gold and shopping are within 10 minutes. The special town of Cave Creek and Carefree are must to visit and only 15 minutes away. Take a day trip within 2 hours to Sedona, Flagstaff, Jeronme and Prescott and you won't be disappointed.
