Katie was very accommodating and communicated proactively. We sincerely appreciated her diligence and help with planning my birthday. The home was very clean, the rooms were comfortable, and the amenities were great. The game room and back patio were fantastic for socializing and enjoying the property. The location was easy to find and the nearby pizza place is walking distance. I strongly recommend Katie’s property for all of the reasons above!
We love staying at the cabin in the desert. Hosts are helpful, respond quickly and the house is perfect for our big group and close to everything in the Phoenix area!
Place was great, just as seen in photos. Nice, modern kitchen to cook meals in. Hot tub was relaxing (we did not use pool). Basketball court was great for kids. Kim was always quick to respond to all of my questions. Place was very clean and well taken care of. Beds were comfortable. Would not hesitate to stay again.
Great location. We stayed here for my son's wedding. It was about 15 minutes from the wedding location, and reception. We loved the pool and the space. Very accommodating for large groups.
The owners were awesome and worked with me to accommodate our stay. They were very responsive and kind and the property was great! Very fun - we had a great stay!
We had a great weekend and utilized all outdoor facilities for basketball pickle ball swimming and just a fun weekend and we enjoyed the Super Bowl in the main TV room. Great location in a fun desert cabin.

Thank you! We’re so glad you had a fun-filled weekend and made the most of the outdoor spaces—and the Super Bowl! It’s great to hear the location and desert cabin vibe added to your experience. We’d love to host you again anytime!
We absolutely love being able to stay at the Cabin in the desert for our NXR trip. It fits all of us, allows us to eat together and still have space for downtime and play all while being able to monitor the kids! Plus it is close to the race course as well!
Great lodging, arrangements, kitchen, laundry, and amenities. Everything we needed for our stay for our annual regional race. We hope to be back again!
The place was amazing, plenty of amenities for our friends and family to all be able to enjoy during our stay. Smooth check-in and out process. Overall great time.
We had a great time staying at the cabin in the desert! There are lots of activities and a variety of sleeping accommodations. Our host was very communicative and helpful.
Great house for a large group with plenty of things to do including tennis, basketball ping-pong, and other games. Very clean…. kitchen was very well stocked with pot pans dishes everything you need. Outdoor grill also included. We loved it and will definitely utilize it again when we come in town for a convention.

Thank you so much! We’re glad to hear the home was a great fit for your group and that you enjoyed all the amenities. We’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in town for a convention or getaway!
Our college lacrosse team stayed here on our spring break trip. It was very nice and clean with plenty of room for the 25 of us to live there comfortably for a week. The outdoor space was great and we spent a lot of time in the pool and playing pickle ball. It was in a very convenient location and lots of restaurants and activities to do close to the house. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!
We had the best experience at this very unique and huge property this weekend. The kids had plenty to keep them occupied and there was so much space that everyone was very comfortable. The host was very responsive and great to work with. We will definitely rent here again in the future!
