About this property
Casa Madera by Sunkasa
Welcome to Casa Madera, a rare lakefront luxury home with its own private dock and pontoon boat in Arrowhead Lakes. This is one of the few homes in the Phoenix area where you can swim, cruise the lake at sunset, relax by the fire pit, and enjoy resort-style living, all in one stay.
Designed for elevated group getaways, Casa Madera blends mid-century modern design with true comfort and space. Six private bedrooms, multiple living areas, and a chef’s kitchen with two refrigerators make hosting effortless. Outdoors, enjoy a heated pool, spa, lakeside fire pit, BBQ, and direct access to the water, perfect for celebrations, multi-family trips, and milestone moments.
Guests love the privacy, lake access, and included boat, making this home feel less like a rental and more like a destination.
Elevated Experiences Available
For guests celebrating something special, private chef services can be arranged for intimate gatherings such as anniversaries, birthdays, and honeymoons. Enjoy a restaurant-quality meal prepared in the comfort of your lakefront home, perfect for sunset dinners, small celebrations, or a memorable night in.

About the host
Hosted by Brian and Karen Kelley
I was born and raised in Phoenix, but have lived between the East Coast & Phoenix the last 20-odd years. I work in travel technology with a focus on aviation, so I'm a traveler at heart. I have taken my many years of exploring the world and staying in various hotels around the world to bring that expertise to hosting five-star experiences across our portfolio of luxury homes in Arizona. We at the Sunkasa team look forward to sharing our hospitality with you!
Why they chose this property
Arrowhead Lakes is such a unique community that incorporates waterfront living right against a desert mountain preserve. There are plenty of birds to watch, between the resident cranes that swoop in and the huge schools of ducks and geese that inhabit the lakes. Nowhere else in Glendale do you get the majestic waterfront views with magnificent mountain backdrops!
What makes this property unique
We have just completed a top-to-bottom renovation resulting in a warm, mid-century modern vibe and super comfortable hotel-like bedrooms. We had so much fun on the renovation and picking out all of the furnishings, we are looking forward to sharing the resulting creation with each of our future guests.
The kitchen was outfitted with professional grade Thermidor appliances, is fully equipped for large meals and prep with plenty of room for everyone to either participate or observe from the massive island over a glass of wine.
The backyard is one of the biggest selling features with a heated pool for year-round use, attached built-in spa, outdoor firepit, multiple lounging areas and an electric pontoon boat perfect for cruising around the lakes at sunset.
All in all, every space has been designed for cozy gathering and enjoying the beautiful views and weather that Arizona is known for!
