Open concept great room w/ kitchen, dining & family room is the perfect place to create new memories together! The backyard has a private pool, reclining sun chairs, & a huge patio set w/fire table that is sure to be the favorite spot for everyone during your stay! Lots of extras added throughout the house so guests can sit back and relax!
Only a short 6-miles to the new Bell Bank Park!
The house is newly remodeled in 2021 with our guests in mind. Updated look, open concept family-style living in the heart of the desert! Lots of extras for our guests enjoyment! Coffee bar, tea & hot cocoa too, room darkening shades, beach towels, fully stocked kitchen with pantry basics, full-length mirrors, luggage racks, fluffy towels, cosmetic mirror, child-proof locks and baby necessities, and so much more!
Head out back to the backyard private oasis! Enjoy splashing in the pool when the heat sizzles in the valley, or just sit on the edge and let your feet soak in the water. Lounge chairs overlook the pool where you can catch some much-needed rays. Lots of beach towels provided for guests! Feel like a game? We’ve got Cornhole, Ladderball, Mashball, and Ring Toss! Enjoy a quiet morning on the patio, grill your favorite dinner on the large BBQ, and watch the sun set under the canopy in the new outdoor living area complete with fire table! Gather around the fire, tell stories, create smiles, and make memories that last a lifetime.
The living room is the perfect place to put your feet up and enjoy a movie on the large smart TV, or gather around the ottoman for a family game night. There is a selection of board games for our guests, we hope you enjoy them as much as our families do! There are two giant beanbag chairs with plush covers for the kids (and kids at heart!) when you want extra seating in the family room.
Enjoy dinners around the beautiful dining table large enough to seat 8-10 comfortably. Pull up the bench to accommodate larger groups at the table. For families with infants / toddlers, we provide a highchair and plastic dinnerware for babies and younger kids.
Conveniently located next to the dining table is the fully stocked and upgraded kitchen. All items provided in the kitchen are brand new as of 11/2021. Plenty of plates and dishes to cover large families / groups, a full array of pots & pan and cooking dishes with all the extras you need in a kitchen to make preparing meals a breeze! Lots of space available in the pantry to bring in your groceries and make yourself at home!
Enjoy a blissful night’s rest with new high-end mattresses with luxury sheets and bedding in each room. The master bedroom and both queen bedrooms have nightstands with touch-sensitive lamps with USB charging ports and a digital clock by the bedside.
The spacious master bedroom is the perfect retreat after a long day. Bay windows overlook the pool in the backyard; sit in the cozy chairs and enjoy a cup of herbal tea to unwind before bedtime or grab a book to relax over the weekend. Huge walk-in closet inside the master suite is available for guests to use. En Suite bathroom has a huge bathtub, separate shower and ungraded vanity area. Provided for our guests: lighted cosmetic mirror, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, cotton balls, Q-Tips, make-up wipes, tissues, toilet paper, hair dryer, curling iron, and lots of fluffy towels.

The bunk room is all about family comfort and fun, fun, fun! The bunk bed is a full-on-full bunk bed, and has a twin size pull-out trundle bed as well. The top bunk has a railing to keep little ones safe, and the whole bed is pushed into a corner for extra security. Check in the closet for a small selection of toys and books for the kids, and bins for them use for their own treasures! Have little ones that like to be rocked? Use the comfy glider chair in the bunk room to help ease your little ones to sleep, or to read stories to your children. A Pack 'n Play is also available for guests with infants.
The second bathroom is in the hallway right by the front Queen room and the bunk room. Full-sized tub and shower combo to accommodate guests of all ages. Upgraded vanity and freshly painted! Provided for guests: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, cotton balls, Q-Tips, make-up wipes, tissues, toilet paper, hair dryer, curling iron, and lots of fluffy towels.

Doesn't disappoint!
This is our 2nd time staying here, we stayed here again because we had a good experience the 1st time. 2nd time was just as good. Location is in a nice area, spacious home with just about most things you'd need on vacation. Laura the host was available by text or Vrbo and answered any question/problem we had very quickly! We came here for baseball, and if we do baseball here again next year, we'd come back to Desert Gem for a 3rd time!

Will file an insurance claim on you and AC doesn't work very well.
Check-in was great, house was clean, but make sure you take pictures of every single thing to document. AC does not work very well during the day time. Temperature was 85+ during the day, but would cool off during the night. Strip the beds and look at the bedding covers, because they tell you to leave the beds unmade and then they will file a claim against you. I tried not complain about the AC. I called the owner and they told me to just flip the breaker which dropped the temperature 1 degree. Just make sure you take a lot of picture before and after, because this owner will file a insurance claim. Definitely take a picture of the carpet.

Desert Gem really is a gem!
We stayed at Desert Gem for a week during winter break for my son's baseball tournament in nearby Mesa. If he ever plays here again, we would stay here again without a doubt! The neighborhood was quiet & we felt safe. Queen Creek has everything you need from stores to places to eat. The house was amazing:
Inside: plenty of space; each bedroom had a tv & a lamp that turns on just by touch; the master bath had a soaking tub which we used often; the kitchen had supplies such as coffee/tea/cocoa to drink, spices for cooking & plenty of applicances (ricer, crockpot, etc). The living room had a brand new couch that was perfect to relax on after a day at the ballfield.
Outside: grill (tools were in the pantry in the kitchen) was nice for one of our meals; the pool wasn't heated but my kids still jumped in & had fun; the canopy area had space to relax & enjoy the firepit (which they supply extra propane in case it runs out-which happened for us) & we loved the 2 games on the side of the house (cornhole & ladder golf).
I'm sure I'm leaving something out but we loved our stay!
Laura, the host, was wonderful-she answered any questions I had in a timely manner & clearly communicated the expectations at the house & when checking out.

Our stay was incredible. The house is immaculate and in an incredible area. My parents were in town and we usually rent a place for convenience and this is 100% my favorite place we have stayed. Laura was super communicative through our entire stay and there was never a point that I didn’t feel like our needs were met. We ran into a few things along the way that needed assistance and Laura’s response and action was immediate no matter the time of need. Thank you for creating such an amazing place for our family to celebrate our sons 5th birthday!
