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.

    Our family travels to Phoenix every spring, and this home was by far our favorite place we've stayed! My husband and teenage sons loved how accessible the hiking trails were from this property, and they went out to explore most nights. I loved sitting on the deck and watching the animals (quail, rabbits, coyote, and more!) passing through the yard. It was so peaceful, and the breeze blew up the side of the mountain in a very pleasant way. The sunsets and sunrises from this vantage point, looking out over Phoenix, were breathtaking! This home had all of the necessities in the kitchens and bathrooms, comfortable seating options, and we felt right at home. Pamela was an extremely responsive host and a pleasure to communicate with. We can't wait to stay here again next year!

    The host was great with communication and very informative. The house was nice and the views were absolutely beautiful. We loved sitting on one of the many decks this house has to offer and watch for wildlife. Also several trails nearby.You have everything you need. We did buy food and our own condiments and used the grill that was offered. The only thing was some items of condiments etc available are out dated that the have. A suggestion would be to have a note to guest if something is outdated to toss. We had this in place at another home we stayed at years back. Would love to stay again in the future. Thank you for sharing your home.

    Our second stay at this home and can’t wait to get back. Everything you could possibly want in a short term rental is here and the views from all three decks are amazing. Close to trails for hiking. A very peaceful location.

    The house is amazing.The location was perfect,peace and tranquility except for the Coyotes singing. Pamela thought of all our needs,traveling from the UK and staying 10 days prior and 10 after in hotels,we didn’t need to buy many household items as most was already there .Such a thoughtful thing to do.We were in driving distance to almost everywhere.The 3 decks were used at different times of the day as well as the walking trials around the mountain.Would we go again,in a heartbeat.Thank you Pamela for sharing your home with us.

    I rent this property every year to come out and visit my daughter... I could not ask for a better location a better view or a better renting experience I am already booked for next year this will be my fourth year staying at this property. It is almost like a home away from home for me now.
