Ultimate Arizona Desert Escape

Hi Katie, thank you for the review and pointing out all the things you liked and didn't like about this property. I'm glad to hear you appreciate that It is an amazing place to get away from it all. We are so close to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve that we planted the same desert plants that you find in the preserve and we let them grow naturally to match what you see in the preserve. In fact, most of the back yard photos you see in this listing were taken just a few days before your arrival. If you walk our property, it blends in perfectly with the natural terrain of the Sonoran Desert. We don't have fences on our property line and you won't be able to see where our 2.5 acre lot ends and the adjacent multi acre lots begin. Our driveway does have some hills and turns but it is very manageable by any vehicle. My Toyota Corolla handles it just fine and big delivery trucks like Amazon drive it no problem. We have areal photos of the driveway and landscaping so you can see what it looks like.

Hi Michelle, thank you for the kind review. I'm happy to hear you want to stay here again the next time you are in Scottsdale. Yes, we do have SPA maintenance on Tuesday and I'm sorry if Christy startled you when she came to clean the SPA. I said she would be there when I emailed the lock code but I will make a note to inform future guests again the day before as well. Tuesday is also the day trash is taken out to the street for trash pickup. I pay someone to do it so guests don't have to wheel the trash barrels down the long driveway. It's a nice service.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We apologize for the inconvenience of the repairs required during your stay. As mentioned, we fixed the freezer immediately upon notice and the Swim SPA required a part to be ordered, otherwise it would have been fixed immediately was well. The Swim SPA is only a year old so it was abnormal to require repair. We have a house manual with instructions for the Home Theater Room, BBQ, Fire Place, Nest Thermostats, and Fire Pit. Our TV's have DISH remotes that are pretty intuitive but we can add it to the manual since not everyone has experience with Cable TV. Instructions for these are also included in the welcome email sent out a week before arrival. All pillows and sheets have all been evaluated and upgraded to the high standards this property deserves. The recent rains did bring up quite a few weeds which have now been removed. Thank you for bring these things to our attention. Your feedback is important to us and we strive to give every guest a 5 star experience.
