We really enjoyed our stay and there was ample room for our family of 5. The home was very clean and kitchen had everything we needed! Being from the Midwest, our family especially enjoyed access to the heated spa and pool while watching football on the outdoor TV. We heated the pool and spa only during the day and in the early evening, and although it may have been difficult to anticipate the propane requirements ahead of time, communication with Maria was very easy and she was able to arrange a propane delivery within hours to keep the water warm and the kiddos happy. The outdoor furniture was cozy too. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great Scottsdale ranch house

I came into town with my two brothers and this property could not have been any better. The house is clean and modern and the check in and property management was very responsive. The bikes were also nice as the Old Town Scottsdale bars and restaurants were a short drive away. I would highly recommend this to any visitors to the area.
