You are far enough to get away to unwind in nature yet close enough to enjoy the restaurants and activities that Scottsdale has to offer. (Did you know Instacart delivers most things to us in 30 minutes? Yes, Costco, Sprouts Market, Target & many other stores deliver to us)
At Casa Cactus, our goal is to provide you with an extraordinary experience. Whether you're: enjoying a sunrise coffee on the patio or reading a book next to the fireplace, there's always something for you to appreciate about this place.
Explore the hidden secrets of Scottsdale, nearby activities include:
(We actually tried all of these activities ourselves, and can highly recommend!)
Drive to Barlett Lake and cool off in the Summer heat or fish in the Wintertime. (12-person boat rental available at the lake for $250 / 4 hours)
Golf at one of the 15+ different Golf courses nearby
Horseback riding in Tonto National Forest, it's literally our backyard! (It's about $60 / person, 5 mins from Casa Cactus)
ATV, Bike, or Hike on one of the nearby trails (Granite Mountain, Tom's Thumb, & more)
Hop on a hot air balloon to catch the sunset over the desert landscape
We thoughtfully furnished this home to offer premium hotel-like amenities, while providing more space, comfort and privacy. Our luxury sleeping accommodations make for a peaceful and relaxing night's rest. The kitchen is equipped with a state-of-the-art Bosch kitchen appliance set, as well as the essentials you'll need to prepare a delicious dinner for your loved ones. Our home is equipped with high-speed internet and a mesh wifi network to ensure the signal is reliable and strong throughout the property.
Here are some direct quotes from our guests at Casa Cactus:
Pros
"... Nature lovers will be very pleased with its tranquil spot nestled at the edge of Tonto National Park, and the centuries old saguaro in the backyard is epic. "
"... Design appreciators will love its interior which is artful yet minimal and beautifully spacious. "
"... Everything is brand new and energetically clean. "
"... A serene getaway from the hustle and bustle"
"... Communication was immediate and clear every time. Housekeeping was five star, stargazing a billion."
Note
"... I do recommend a 4x4 car if renting as it makes the dirt road part of the drive more fun :)"
"Casa Cactus is 30 minutes away from Old Town Scottsdale, so Instacart is a huge win for this place."
