Well equipped clean roomy stay. Fit 8 adults and 2 kids perfect. Really enjoyed the outdoor patio and pool. Proximity to south Mountain Preserve was nice for picturesque hikes, and grocery store close.

The house was great. Clean. Our only concern was that we were traveling with children and the house wasn't in the safest area.
There is no place like home. This vacation home is a home away from home. I’m returning in July for my Grand mother’s birthday and checking the availability now. 5 stars and many more.
House was a great choice close to the PHX Convention Center. The boys loved the pool and pool table. Overall the place was clean and had all the amenities
Very nice And enjoyed the property Will definitely recommend.Everything was absolutely beautiful.

Our family from all over the country came together to celebrate our granddaughter’s college graduation. This home worked great for us. Had plenty of room for everyone and the pool and backyard were great. Thanks for making our celebration special.

It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the space and the backyard amenities. We appreciate your feedback and hope to host you again for more special moments in the future!
Booked this house for the location to everything. Didn't need to rent a car. Ubers were cheap. Store is a mile away. We seriously walked a few times. Pool is perfect! Who ever gets the house after us has a full tank for the gas grill lol you're welcome. Seriously. Loved this house and will book it again next time we are in Phoenix. Also hiking at south mountain was easy and beautiful.
Our entire family enjoyed our 5 day stay in this home. The house was decorated very nicely, beds were comfortable, kitchen was fully equipped and the pool and game room were lots of fun. We didn’t realize there would be a safety gate around the pool but were happy it was there as our 2 yr old grandson was obsessed with the pool. We have stayed at many houses in AZ and this house exceeded our expectations and is by far one of the better homes we’ve stayed at. Definitely recommend!
We came out to AZ for a golf trip and this home delivered us exactly what we needed. Everything was in perfect shape and the beds were very comfortable. Would absolutely stay again!

It's great to hear that the mirrors were helpful for getting ready and that you had good communication with us. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back soon!
The time we spent was worth the cost. Our grand children spent 12 hrs a day swimming! We relaxed and enjoyed the family.

We are delighted to hear that your family's time at our property was well worth the cost and that your grandchildren enjoyed the swimming pool so much. It's wonderful to know that you were able to relax and enjoy quality time with your family. Thank you for choosing our property for your stay, and we hope to welcome you back for more family fun in the future.
We traveled from frozen MN to sunny AZ to celebrate my brother’s January birthday. The layout and amenities were exactly what we needed. There were so many great features to praise including the quiet office space, large bedrooms/shared spaces, the pool table, ample dishes for cooking a group meal, throw blankets for chillier nights, and so much more. Let’s not forget the pool, it was the cleanest I’ve ever seen!! (we couldn’t use because of the cold)Bring your family, friends, and kids. This location is a top pick!

Great location close to our venue (The Farm) and 15 min to airport. House was perfect size for 8 adults and 1 child. Lots of space to spread out. Swing set was sub par, broken steps to slide, swing seats were split on the sides. Only good thing was the round swing. Should be replaced. Pool was good, didnt use much due to cooler temps.

Thank you for your review, Sandra. We're pleased to hear that the location was convenient for your needs and that the house provided ample space for your group. We appreciate your feedback regarding the swing set and will look into improvements. We hope to welcome you back for another stay!
This house was perfect for me and my family the playground w/ swings in the back kept the kids occupied the whole time (plus the shed had extras like scooters and yard games) the rooms were beautifully decorated and spaced perfectly with more than enough TVs and seating for everyone to be more than comfortable we will absolutely be booking this home again when the weather warms up so we have a chance in enjoying the pool
