One of the best rentals we have ever stayed at. It's clear that the owners care very much about the guests and the experience. Beds super comfortable, lovely amenities including local roasted coffee and every possible coffee brewing option! Property was exceptionally clean. Thoughtfully appointment, comfortable furniture, beautifully decorated. Owners were very responsive throughout the stay. Location was perfect for hiking and very quiet during the evening. We will definitely be returning!

Beautiful house and setting

A wonderfully decorated house in a lovely setting. It's serene and welcoming with lots of thoughtful touches (yoga mats, outdoor seating, good coffee, spa robes ...) that make it hard to leave. The owner and property manager were super helpful - we will definitely be back!

Heather, we're so glad you found the setting as beautiful as the photos. It's truly a spectacular backdrop for a restful getaway. I'm not sure why you didn't receive our replies as we did reply to every one of your messages; in fact, we didn't hear anything from you after you let us know you'd arrived safely -- which is not uncommon as guests simply go into relaxation mode once they check in. We would never not reply to a guest's messages, so perhaps something went wrong on your end?

Beautiful Home

We stayed with our adult children and their spouses for a wedding weekend in Scottsdale. The house exceeded our expectations, very clean and comfortable, and plenty of room for everyone.

Beautiful stay in paradise valley

Everything was perfection! Kara’s home is beautifully furnished inside and out, and filled with so many thoughtful touches that it’s hard to know where to start. From the well equipped kitchen and spotless bathrooms to the super comfy beds, linens and fresh white towels, absolutely nothing was overlooked. But nothing can top the peaceful and private setting in the valley. We felt like we were all alone with only the sounds of the birds to keep us company. There were so many fabulous outdoor spaces to relax in for morning coffee or evening cocktails, or just sit and read (complete with heaters and blankets!) And that’s in addition to the exquisite pool area and outdoor kitchen/dining area. The inside was equally inviting and thoughtfully laid out, no one wanted to leave when our 2 weeks were up! It was also a perfect location, less than 15 min to hikes, great restaurants, golf courses and all the other amenities (and the airport!). Kara and her property manager Adrian were fabulous to deal with and made us feel so at home. We and our adult children and their partners had the best time, and we all hope to be back soon. Definitely a little piece of paradise in paradise valley!!

Wow, Cheryl. We are so honored to have read your review and to hear how much you enjoyed your time in our canyon getaway. Yes, the house feels totally remote, yet you’re in the middle of everything…food,hiking, golf, you name it! We’d love to have you stay with again if you’re back out our way!

You won't regret it.

I'm not sure where to begin. EVERYTHING about this was amazing.. The communication from the host, the location, the surrounding desert vibe, the quality of the furnishings, the bedding, the omnipresent natural light, the outdoor heaters, the pool area, the fire pit, and on and on. We stayed with our adult children and their significant other and everyone had their own space when they wanted it--multiple patios and sitting areas. It would take some time to mention the countless amenities but if you need something, anything, they thought to provide it. To provide some context -- here's one example of which there are many. Do you want a cup of coffee? They provide a grinder, a Keurig, a pour over kettle, a french press, and a programmable drip coffee maker. Take your pick. You'll never want to leave and really wouldn't have to. This is far more than a place to stay. It's an effortless, first class experience.

Wow, Marc, you left us kind of speechless over here! But, in an effort to show our appreciation for your kind words, we will say that it was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your family! The fact that you enjoyed the home as much as you did overjoys us. Our mission, first and foremost, is to create a memorable experience and it sounds like we accomplished that. We would love to host you again and hope you think of us the next time you are in town!

Tranquil paradise

My husband, mom, 17 & 15 year old and I stayed in this beautiful home for one week and it was a tranquil paradise. The neighborhood is a quiet one with gorgeous residential homes, canyons, and breathtaking views in every direction. When you sit on the patio you have views of the canyons and far off the city lights. It is stunning. There’s even a balcony off the master to enjoy the sun rise. The house is clean, everything you need from coffee and tea to blankets by every couch and bench off the beds, even the scent of the house from the oil diffuser reeds are heavenly. There are plants everywhere in the home, the patio and the landscaping is gorgeous. There’s plenty of space and bathrooms to spread out but also the covered patio with heaters and tv and family room, large dining room and kitchen have plenty of seating to sit and play games like we did or watch movies. The heated pool is large as is the patio surrounded by more plants and landscaping and spent our days here. Just peaceful, sounds of the birds and sun. There’s a lawn to do yoga or throw a ball around and a large fire pit too. The entire house is decorated and so thought out with its decor and design and all the furnishings and towels, linens, kitchen ware..all of it is tied together. If we could have stayed longer we would have and already are talking about when we can come back. I’m not a writer but trust me, I haven’t done it justice. Windows everywhere letting the sun in, a peloton and weights…I could go on:)

Bess, we wish you could've stayed longer as it was a true pleasure hosting you and your family. Yes, there are so many moments to be enjoyed in our home... from the lush lawn, to the sun-drenched pool to the views from the patio and upper deck. We tried to make the experience as transportive as possible and are so glad you felt that while staying with us! We'd be honored to host you all next time you're out our way!
