Absolutely incredible!! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience or vacation getaway! The house is stunning, so many things to do, amazing views, peaceful, fun and relaxing. Our group ranged from 1 years old to 40's and everyone had a blast. Pam was the best host we've had! We enjoyed our trip so much, we are already talking about booking again!
Great house for group Events, seems ideal for a golf trip or friends getaway, also amenities for children and families. Over the top statement home lots of fun.
My family stayed her for my niece’s first vacation. The house is very baby and family friendly with everything you would need for kids. The family that owns the house is super nice and easy to communicate with. Everyone enjoyed their stay here!
This Vrbo experience far exceded our expectations! There was so much offered here that we could have just stayed at the house the entire time. But also there are amazing little towns of carefree and cave creek nearby, hiking trails , parks, historic towns, etc. Will definitely be back! amazing places bored
Wonderful property. Fit our family of 11 with room to spare. Our host was very good about checking in to make sure we had what we needed. We had a fantastic time.
This home was the ideal place! Very clean and had everything needed. It’s perfect for families with so much to do without leaving the house. Pam, the hostess was so kind and responsive with any questions we had!. We will definitely stay there again!
We highly recommend Pamela and her properties. Exactly as described with great communication. You won’t regret your decision to stay here. We loved it.
Great house for our family vacation. 6 bedrooms gave every couple their own room. 4 full bathrooms was great. Game room was awesome. The putting green was a family hit as was the pool. Sadly our weather was only optimal for the pool 3 of the 7 days. 3 portacribs were there which was good for babies.
Pam, thank you so very much for making our stay amazing, so relaxing and everything our family needed !!!
Everyone so enjoyed the pool and outdoor seating area, especially the golf area and the games. I have already recommended this property to another person in our family thinking of an Arizona vacation. Thanks again for always being quick for responses when ever I texted you!!!
We came down for our family reunion. If I could rate the stay it would be a 10!! House was awesome!! I would recommend this home to everyone. Location was close to everything. If you like golf this is the place to stay. TPC Scottsdale only about 30 min away along with many more golf courses. There is a lot of family things to do. We look forward to coming back soon!!!
Great experience!! We had a family get together with 16 attendees. The home was everything we had hoped for and more. It’s a beautiful home with plenty of space and plenty to do without leaving the property. Pamela was an excellent host from the beginning through to the end. I hope to stay here again in the future!
The house, pools and amenities were beyond what we expected. My teenage grandchildren very much enjoyed the game room, the pools, golf area, basketball hoops, especially the hoop by the pool. There were 11 of us and we all slept in comfortable large, clean beds. Not being fond of spiders or insects, I was amazed that I never saw any! Having so many to feed, we ate in most of the time and found everything we needed to do so. We all had so much fun and would love to vacation there again.
The house is EXACTLY as it shows in the pictures. It is beautiful, roomy, fully decorated (with no personal pictures and knickknacks around—a plus), and has lots of unique spots to work, hide, sun, play, and more. The game room was a huge hit. Grandma beat us at skeeball - how we do not really know.The beds are very comfortable, and the pillows, sheets, and towels are all good. The pool and hot tub are great.The neighbor is quiet and fun to walk around (albeit a little hilly). Shops and restaurants are very close.From our initial contact with the owner/managers, last- all communication was professional, clear, and helpful.This is a top-level rental property. With family in the areas - we will return.
The pictures do not do it justice! It was one of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen! Pam was always very personable, friendly and quick to offer guidance for things to do in the area or if I had any questions.
Don't let this one pass you by if you have an opportunity to book.
The pool area was amazing and relaxing. There were balconies everywhere to enjoy a sunrise or sunset. We went with a family of 6 adults and 3 kids and we had plenty of things to do around the home together. There was also more than enough space for us to enjoy some alone or quiet time.
Thank you again Pam for your wonderful hospitality! You made me feel like a "friend" when we communicated. I hope to one day get to see your other beautiful homes.
The house is even better than in the pictures. Lots of outdoor seating areas so you can always see a sunrise or sunset. Indoor activities are plentiful.
Had an issue and the owners responded promptly and made sure all was resolved.
We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at this house. We had a family reunion over thanksgiving and had a wonderful time utilizing the pool, game room, golf course, and everything else! The house is beautiful and clean, and Pam was absolutely super communicative and helpful both before and during our stay. We hope to be back and cannot recommend it more! 11/10!
Our impressions of the property were very positive.
The owner/host was extremely helpful and available/
She recommended Travis the chef for our stay, and every meal was 5 star/ Thank you Pamela.
From the second I stepped on property I knew this was going to be the perfect place for our trip! I took 12 friends out to AZ for a golf trip and this place fit our group perfectly! Everything in and around the home is 100% as advertised or better! Throughout the trip we had plans to go out and explore but found ourselves spending all of our free time at the house. The outdoor pool area is out of a movie; as the sun goes down and all off the colorful accent lighting comes up, there is never a shortage of good vibes! There is plenty of living space so we never once felt like we were on top of each other which is huge when you have large group of adults. All of this was plenty for us to have the perfect trip, but we also had the PERFECT host to go along with it. Communication was on point all weekend and she made everything ridiculously easy for us! If I make it back out to AZ there is no way I’ll look anywhere else!
