Foothills Escape with Amazing Views of Desert & Four Peaks

We've stayed here a few times over the past 10 years for our annual Spring Training trip to Arizona. Mostly because the location is very rural and the views of the desert and mountains are truly amazing, plus it's very quiet and peaceful here. The view of the sunset from the rooftop patio is nothing less than spectacular. The home itself is clean and well-stocked and the beds are comfortable. We'll be back for sure!

We were there for spring training. This home had everything we needed. Tranquil location and great landscaping

They loved the property and had a great time

This property was amazing! What was even better was Anna, the host! We decided to stay around Scottsdale for our anniversary and Anna went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right for our late arrival. This property is a short drive from the closest amenities and definitely gives rural desert vibes. The house is huge for just the two of us. Next time we visit, we'll check into this property first and maybe bring some friends... or not!

Nice, quiet, secluded home in beautiful surroundings. House was spacious and well appointed. Comfortable beds. Kitchen has everything you would need. Views of the mountains spectacular. Road to the house was a bit rough so it was good we had a 4x4. Overall a great stay.

We stayed in Anna’s home over the Xmas Holiday. Anna was super responsive and very informative, proving clear directions for the house and check-in. (Follow her directions, not Waze). We wanted a fairly remote location with desert views and space and this house was perfect! The views of the desert and mountains are gorgeous (my dream view) & the house was clean and tidy. Anna has managed to create the perfect balance of a comfortable home with all the conveniences and supplies you would need with not feeling like you are a stranger in someone else’s home. The master bed was super comfy, the rooftop terrace had literal 360 degree views, and the hot tub was clean, working, and a fantastic amenity after hiking/biking. The location is about 20-30 min to groceries/gas/food. I would stay in this home again and again. Thank you Anna for such a perfect stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 20 night stay at this beautiful property, in the northeast area of Scottsdale! Anna was a wonderful, attentive host and provided lots of details and information to help us make the most of our stay. The spacious house has lovely furnishings and all the amenities needed for a very comfortable visit. The wide open mountain & desert views from the patio are spectacular and the 360 degree views from the rooftop patio are equally spectacular… especially at sunset! It was a unique experience to occasionally hear coyote and wolf sounds from the nearby wildlife rehab center (the sounds always subsided within a few minutes). On two occasions we observed a coyote quietly pass through the back of the property. Hummingbirds and woodpeckers repeatedly visited the feeder beside the patio. We missed seeing the bobcat that Anna mentioned visits on occasion. The location is very private, quiet, a short drive down an unpaved road and surrounded by countryside homes and horse farms. We are hikers and this house is situated very close to some of our favourite trails: Granite Mountain, Browns Ranch, Tom's Thumb, Pinnacle Peak are all within about a 10 minute drive. It was always a treat to return to the house after each day's hike and relax in the large comfortable hot tub with the incredible views. Other hiking areas we enjoy within a 30-45 minute drive include Spur Cross Ranch, Cave Creek Regional Park, Lake Pleasant Regional Park, Adero trailhead in Fountain Hills and Butcher Jones at Saguaro Lake. You can access the Pemberton Trail in McDowell Mountain Regional Park via bike or walking from the house. Anne provides bikes that can be used. It is an hour drive to enjoy the Superstition Mountain hiking options along the famous Apache Trail (don't miss the novel dining experience at Tortilla Flats saloon). Another plus is that most of these trails have free access or some have a nominal fee of about $5. There is an incredible array of good restaurant and grocery store choices all within a 20 minute drive ... no freeway driving required to reach these establishments which we appreciated to help maintain our relaxed mood. Thank you Anna for sharing your special place with us and we look forward to a return visit!

Great trip, great house! What really set it apart was the property manager though, top notch, anything we needed Anna was there to answer our call. Thx!

Enjoy the property and the desert surroundings.

Wonderful property. All the amenities that you could possibly need for a relaxed stay. My only suggestion would be to give guests a heads-up on grocery store locations. They are located a significant distance from the home, but could easily be accessed on the way. Highly recommended!
