Lovely North Scottsdale Home
We spent a fabulous three days at this home. It was clean, well maintained, has lovely decor, comfortable bedding, luxurious towels, great outdoor areas for relaxing and was private. The pictures are accurate but some how don't do the place justice. Would definitely stay there again.

Thank you so much for your review! We agree that the home is very unique and has its own peacefulness that no pictures can convey. We have done our very best to make it as comfortable as possible and are so happy when our guests recognize this!
The house was very clean. The design of the house was super funky, very 70s but very fun. Loved the views of Pinnacle Peak and the desert! The hostess was thoughtful with a welcome bottle of wine and toiletries in the bathroom.

Unique and lovely place.
Our family stayed at this property 2/13-17. It is immaculate and just as the pictures show. There are no surprises. The surrounding scenic mountains and desert are part of the lovely view. This home is close to many golf courses and not far from all Scottsdale shopping and restaurants. There was a leak with the water heater and the owners promptly took care of it. We would love to have the opportunity to stay there again.

Thank you so much, Alice! We loved having you stay at the home and hope to see you again in the future!
Our second stay of n 2022 at this property. In March and now November
We truly enjoy the private, desert setting with coffee and sunsets from the picturesque patios. Enjoyed the host provided wine why relaxing in the newly installed outdoor jacuzzi spa. We will be back in 2023!
The design of the house is interesting and unusual. The place was clean. They provided a lot if simple items that you don't find in a lot of corporate managed rentals these days, such as extra toothbrush kits, shampoo and bath items. Same thing with the kitchen, coffee, bottled water etc. Communication and check in were easy. It's quiet and private. Like any place, it probably needs some maintenance, but it was in a lot better shape than most. Good place if you have a larger vehicle. Good place if you travel with a dog. Very nice grocery stores etc. minutes away. Bumped into the house keeper one day, she was very nice and accommodating. The property was as advertised.
We found the home very unique and appreciated the 70's style architecture. If you were to update any aspects of the property in the future, I would suggested updating the bathrooms and possibly adding a roof covering to the outdoor patio areas. Unfortunately, it rained during our stay. The location was great. Thank you.
Great location for playing golf in the North Scottsdale area. Minutes to Troon, Grayhawk.
Mastro's, Walgreens, and groceries around the corner.
Great views.
The home is clean and comfortable.
It is unique home on a large lot that provides plenty of privacy. Great owner! We accidentally locked ourselves out at 5:30am in the morning and Brenda was there in no time to let us back in.
Enjoyed the property, nice view, great owner. My daughter loves getting to see the chickens although the roosters in the morning were a surprise, not a problem at all, but a surprise. Great location to the north side of town.
From the second we pulled into the driveway we loved the uniqueness of this house. Super clean, spacious, kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were super comfy. The patio had plenty of seating and gorgeous views. We would definitely stay here again.
Perfect location to be in desert, yet only a mile from creature comforts. House had a unique architectural design. Look forward to returning.

Good for groups
Great place for groups. Only complaint was the coffee maker kept getting clogged and didn't filter properly. Uber and Lyft was quick and easy.
Entry and exit was seamless. Communication with owner was great. Thank you!

We had a great stay, although the home was missing some cooking and home supplies to accommodate a large group.

LOVED IT!....
The House was great for us....plenty of room to spread out....best part was the VIEWS....not only of the close mountain ranges surrounding the property, but the city twinkle light views at night and the mountainous sky line of Phoenix which is always spectacular...this property was surrounded by all.....the kids loved the plastic table....took it everywhere....set it front of the TV and made forts out of it....Thank you to the property owners for the hospitality in making things comfortable in the home. The home was on the 'retro' side and brought back memories of what my father would have built.... Please accept my apology for forgetting to turn on the dishwasher when I left....but I did some of the laundry.hopefully that makes up for my forgetfulness ......Diann

Desert Peace with North Scottsdale Amenities Next Door
Great home space for our family and a relaxing, secluded desert location. But not isolated - so close to all that North Scottsdale offers. Easy access to the resort for golfing, Pinnacle Peak hikes and all those restaurants. Like being in the desert away from it all, but actually you aren't.
