About the host

Hosted by Gwen Talbert

Host profile image
We have been Scottsdale residents for over 30 years and still feel living in Scottsdale is like being on an endless vacation! It is our sincere hope that you too will feel the sunshine, experience the fun, find time to relax and most of all feel the vibe that being in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale offers.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location and of course the home itself!
As a child, I stayed at The Valley Ho Resort and vividly remember the Springtime scent of orange blossoms and warm gentle breezes. Never did I dream that I would own a small slice of AZ heaven just across the street!

What makes this property unique

It was once a tired little 1950's bungalow that had never been kissed by a crazed interior designer as myself, or a hammer wielding maniac like my husband. Our son even began to amass better tools than his father as he too put endless hours of sweat equity into making this home a 21st century prize.
