This was our second year at this property. We love the house and its location close to where we like to hike. There is lots of space to enjoy. Lots of stars at night. Nice patio. Great hot tub. It is a ways off the highway, but still accessible. The horse in the corral was sweet.

Beautiful property out in rural horse country
Fantastic house on a unique huge property with horses all around. Abundant sounds of nature with all kinds of birds, owls, coyotes, horses etc. Beautiful views and fun chipping and putting green in the yard. It is located close to mtb and hiking trails at the Sonoran Preserve. Closest grocery store is 20 min in Fountain Hills or Northern Scottsdale. Wonderful owners and property manager!

Arizona Stay
The house was great! Very tidy, linens were clean and freshly laundered. The house has a cool game room and a spiral staircase to a lookout deck with incredible views. We had a couple of minor issues to start the stay but Heather was super responsive and resolved immediately. Would not hesitate to book in the future!
