We stayed in San Tan Valley for a week for our daughter’s destination wedding. From the time of booking this incredible VRBO until the day we headed home the hosts were responsive & accommodating! The home is immaculate, beautifully decorated, and was the ultimate place to rest & relax in between wedding festivities. We’re looking forward to staying here again the next time we’re in the area. It’s seriously the nicest VRBO we’ve ever stayed at!

Amazing from start to finish. The hosts made this stay feel like it was our home. Exceptional care has been taken in every detail of this home. Cannot say enough positive about this home. We have already decided to come back.
The house was wonderful! Michelle was very helpful and accommodating (especially flexible with an early check-in). The home was clean and had everything we needed. Plenty of room with four bedrooms. We loved the back patio and firepit, as well. Highly recommended!

This was a lovely property! It had everything we wanted and needed!
Our host, Michelle and Finn were top notch! Michelle was very attentive prior and during our stay! I would recommend this property to others. We had family come in and out during our stay, and we were able to host dinner, use the pools, walk the neighborhood and hike all from this awesome location right on the golf course! The Putt course and the fire pit was a great addition💕

Beautiful home away from home. Owners were excellent to deal with and immediately responsive to questions or concerns. We enjoyed the regional park nearby and the arboretum at Superior was fantastic and only about a half hour drive. Literature provided at the home provided many ideas for activities.

Saguaro Sunset looked to be a beautiful listing online, but was even better in person. Everything in the house was of high quality and in great condition. It was very clean and we did not want for anything during our stay. The patio/ backyard was very relaxing with spectacular views. Michelle and Finn were wonderful hosts and we feel very lucky to have found their listing. We hope to return again sometime soon.
Beautiful home - Great Getaway - relaxing - comfortable
The property is in a community where everyone is friendly and nice. The home is great you can golf and turn on the fire pit in the backyard and eat breakfast/lunch and dinner outside as well. Great Golf coarse. The home quite cozy love the amenities the owner is very attentive to our needs, which is great!! The home spacious and relaxing. Will come back. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful home.

Elizabeth, we are so happy that you and your family loved our vacation home, the backyard fire pit and golf course views and our lovely community. We look forward to having your visit again! Michelle & Finn
If you're looking to stay in the San Tan Valley area, this place is an excellent. If you're into golfing, Johnson Ranch is a great value and the Clubhouse is less than a 3 minute ride from the house. Speaking of the house it is lovely inside and out. We took advantage of the awesome grill on the beautiful patio to cook steaks from the nearby grocery store.
Michelle and Finn were a pleasure to deal with and they provided everything we needed to help us have an enjoyable stay. If we get back to this area, we will look to stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle and Finn Hansen
Finn and Michelle Hansen love living near the Pacific Northwest with their two children however once they visited sunny and beautiful Arizona they fell in love with the climate and desert scenery. They have made many updates to their vacation home and have thought of every little detail to provide all the creature comforts for their guests. They pride themselves in providing a wonderful vacation experience for their guests.
Why they chose this property
Our backyard with its south facing mountain and golf course views and private pool is the show stopper at this vacation home. The large covered patio with comfy high end outdoor furniture is the perfect place to relax and feel on vacation. This community is safe and welcoming and offers so many amenities yet far enough away from the big city of Phoenix. If you want to take in a baseball game, a concert or watch the spring training camps you really are not that far away. However within the San Tan Valley / Queen Creek Community there are so many outdoor recreational pursuits to enjoy such as hiking and biking trails to take in the abundance of palm trees and cactus. There are lots of shopping malls and great day trip opportunities. We love Johnson Ranch because it is surrounded by premier golf courses, it is a quiet & private neighborhood, and it is a short drive to local shopping centers. Also, it is only a 25 min. drive to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport with discounted Allegiant flights.
Make sure you stop in at "San Tan Flat" just 10 minutes away to enjoy some western hospitality, a great meal, and live country music. If you enjoy the mountains take a 30 minute drive north east to the Superstition Mountains for some spectacular views at Canyon Lake. Arizona with its sunny, dry, and year round warm climate truly offers a vacation to those seeking to escape the cold winters.
What makes this property unique
When you step into the backyard there is an immediate sense of tranquility hearing all the birds and taking in the stunning 180 degree views of the golf course. We love watching the quail, doves, and sometimes roadrunners behind our home while having coffee in the morning. It’s a place to relax, unwind, and recharge. With the Golf Club at Johnson Ranch and Lakeside Community and Recreation area just a 15 minute walk or 5 minute bike ride you really feel a sense of community. We love that Fry’s Grocery Store and many other amenities are within such a short walking distance.
