About this property
Spectacular panoramic Phoenix Valley views and desert mountain hiking /bicycling
This property is located on the mountain preserve border of South Mountain Park, the largest city park in the world. There are wonderful mountain bike trails right from the property, as well as some of the finest hiking in the Phoenix area. While being only a few minutes from Downtown Phoenix, it is very private and quiet, nestled in a scenic desert mountain bowl with coyote and javelina occasionally visiting the site.
There are multilevel decks facing both toward South Mountain and Downtown Phoenix, providing some of the best panoramic scenery in the Phoenix area. If you are looking for quiet time to catch up on reading, fantastic hiking right from the property, and scenic desert vistas, this is the vacation house for you. Although the road is rough, it is worth the drive
We have good news for those who have stayed with us in the past! wifi is still satellite only, but the speeds have increased tremendously and we have upgraded to the fastest option available.
Just to be perfectly transparent: In the summer months (June, July and August) the water runs warm as the distance it travels underground up the mountain is great. It takes a bit for it to cool down.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Pamela Anne Watson
David and Pamela Watson are the owners living in the Phoenix area. They are both working with American Airlines as a pilot and flight attendant, respectively. They love the outdoors, and have a special affection for this South Mountain home with its quiet, private atmosphere and desert southwest natural mountain landscape.
Why they chose this property
This home was built by Pamela Watson's parents and served them very well for a number of years when they came to Phoenix for the winter. They fell in love with the property of over 10 acres with views to die for, and spent many days entertaining family and friends at their beloved home.
What makes this property unique
The mountain cabin feel of this home so near the Phoenix metropolitan area with fantastic views of dramatic Arizona sunsets makes this home the ideal place to sit and relax, entertain friends and spend hours exploring the washes and mountain bowls directly adjacent to the property.
