Perfect stay

This was our 4th stay at this wonderful home and can’t wait to go back. It’s in a beautiful, safe neighborhood with amazing views of the sunrise, sunset and the brilliant stars at night. We cancelled excursions just to relax by the pool and enjoy watching the wildlife pass thru the yard. We loved every moment of our time there.

Tons of space

We had a great time staying here! The wildlife on the property was impressive! So many bunnies and quail. The house was very clean and well stocked with basic supplies. The house felt every bit of 4000sqft. Our kids slept in the 2 bedrooms upstairs and they had their own loft/sitting area upstairs as well! We stayed here in June and loved watching our car thermostat go from 105 down to the upper 90s as we drove from the main part of Scottsdale up to this home. The temp was never an issue. The neighborhood was quiet and just a beautiful area. The owner was quick to respond with any texts/questions we had!

Great spacious house in the Carefree hills

Excellent Location - quite and well situated. Great as a starting point for hiking in the area and also Scottsdale is within easy reach for best restaurants and shops. The house is within the carefree hills and wildlife can be enjoyed close to the location. We did not heat the pool as temps were high enough. Tim was easy to reach and very responsive to our questions.

Beautiful and Picturesque Carefree Home

This was the second time that my husband and I have stayed at this beautiful property. The home has everything that you could need. We had such a nice stay, and with the lovely warm weather, we enjoyed sitting outside on the lovely patio everyday. We will definitely plan a return visit in the future.

Pretty home with great amenities

The check in was flawless and I love the fact we could park in the garage. The property is lovely and very clean, all the extra kitchen spices and teas were nice to have. We played a couple games and battled on the pinpong table and used the outdoor grill. Unfortunately it was in the 40s/50s during our stay so we did not use the pool but it is setup very nicely and can imagine an amazing summer stay. We had a ladies day and went to the English tea rose for brunch and enjoyed it very much, it’s a small place I recommend making a reservation. We also went to the Buffalo chip to check out the bull riding, small ring and short shows but definitely a fun place for people who like to party. We had lunch at El Encanto, I wish we would have made a reservation for outdoor seating near the indoor pond with ducks, turtles and lush greenery. The food was average but the atmosphere was worth it-super photoesqe and live music. Also did some shopping at frontier town and the prices weren’t inflated to buy gifts for people back home. The only problems we had with the property was the lack of hot water in the master bedroom for showers. Also locks on a couple of doors leading to the backyard and roof area were hard to work, there are directions in the welcome book but I think some folks may have tried operating them without the instructions causing them to be difficult to operate but overall a wonderful stay and definitely recommend.
