Great House

This house was great. We enjoyed the pools, hot tub, putting green and movie room. It was a great house for our family of 8. Plenty of room to hang out together or by yourself. The property book could use update directions for the pool.

Estrella Mountain Oasis – A Private Slice of Paradise! From the moment we stepped through the doors, this Arizona retreat felt like our own private resort. The home far exceeded our expectations in every way—grand architecture, lush gardens, and a serene atmosphere that instantly put us at ease. Privacy & Comfort: Each spacious bedroom came with its own luxurious bathroom and walk-in closet, giving every guest a sense of privacy and comfort. It was perfect for our multi-generational family getaway. Gather & Indulge: The chef’s kitchen was a dream—fully equipped and ideal for preparing meals together. We spent countless hours in the large indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Resort Vibes: The resort-style pool and private movie theater were absolute highlights. Whether we were lounging poolside or enjoying a family movie night, every moment felt special.🤝 Exceptional Hosts: The hosts were incredibly attentive and accommodating, making sure our stay was seamless from start to finish. Their hospitality truly elevated the experience. Even Better Than the Photos: Honestly, the pictures don’t do this place justice. It’s even more breathtaking in person. We can't wait to return!

Could have been better

The house looks much the same as the pictures but onsite the cleaning could have been better. Showers and toilets could have been cleaner. Instructions regarding lighting and turning on pool heat were vague. We paid extra for pool heat and could not use the pool until Friday night as it took so long to heat. We expected the heat to already be on but I guess that’s not how it works? We had to call to ask about it as my messages got no response. Even then we had to send pictures to make sure we were doing it correctly. As I said, it’s a beautiful home but not quite up to expectations. We discovered that there was still garbage left there when we took our garbage out on Friday night…never had that happen before. Also, there was a cord across the steps leading up to the hot tub that one person tripped on. Fortunately they were not hurt. There are also no bath mats provided, only these bamboo mats next to the tub. I slipped and wrenched my newly repaired knee. Not pleasant. I had to have a towel on the floor after that. Just not the greatest experience we have had in a VRBO home…

What a great trip!

We rented the home for our family of four and it we could have easily shared the house with many, many more people. The home was in a beautiful location with gorgeous local plants and very well-appointed. The pool and the movie theater were a family favorite as well as the birds and lizards that visited the patio. Thanks so much for hosting us! We will be back for sure!

Beautiful property with plenty of space to spread out. Children loved the water slide and pool/spa. Bonus theater room was a blast! Owner was responsive. Would recommend this property without hesitation. We hope to have the opportunity to return someday.

Perfect

This was the perfect place for us to spend Christmas week with our kids and grandkids. Everyone had plenty of space, the beds were very comfortable and all the tools we needed to cook Christmas dinner were there. The weather was warm enough (for Northerners) the first days so we enjoyed the pool, slide and hot tub. When it turned chilly, the fireplace and theater room were favorite places to hang out. Anne and Kevin are great to work with and quick to respond when we had questions. We are so happy we chose their home out of all the ones we looked at in the Phoenix area. Thanks again!

The Retreat is an amazing property! It has everything you could want for a family vacation!!

Our sons and their wives traveled from New York City to this lovely home. The environment is spacious yet cozy. It has every amenity you could possibly want! Everyone had their own bed and bathroom. Jogging around the lake in the mountains, the tennis courts, and hot tub we a plus. We had late night fires in the large fire pit with plenty of seating space for our family. The sunrise and sunsets were increadible. We had dinners both in doors and out, the home had plenary of seating to accommodate our large Thanksgiving family gathering. We enjoyed multiple televisions and play space for the children who came for dinner. Two large fireplaces made a great backdrop for naps and intimate conversation. What more can we say, we LOVED it and hope to return again. Kevin and Anne are wonderful host. Thank you again for a beyond great home away from home.

Amazing place to stay

I can’t say enough good about this property and the owners. Kevin and Anne are very easy to work with and readily available to answer any questions. The property is in a quiet residential neighborhood 3 blocks from a lake with a nice walking path and beautiful sunsets over the mountains. The house was very comfortable with plenty of sitting areas inside and out to gather as a group or have some quiet time taking in the beauty of the property and area. The backyard is awesome with the pool, hot tub, waterslide and fire pit. There was plenty of patio furniture if you want to sit and soak up the sun or relax in the shade. The kitchen is every cooks’ dream and well stocked with plenty of cookware/dishware for feeding a group. The bedrooms were very comfortable with each having their own bathroom. If you need a place to stay in the Phoenix area, I highly recommend this house! I know I will be back!!

The Retreat is awesome

The Retreat was an awesome place to stay. You instantly feel comfortable. It has a "homey" feel to it even though it is a large house. This spacious home has so many great things to highlight: 4 spacious bedrooms with their own bathroom, dreamy kitchen, living room, theatre room, not to mention a great backyard with a pool, waterslide and hot tub. They even have an outside grill for you to use along with plenty of patio furniture for you to sit, eat & relax. Kevin & Anne were very easy to work with. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Phoenix area. I know I will definitely be back! Nicol B.

Beautiful, spacious and relaxing!!

Wow, what a beautiful property! The bedrooms were all spacious and each included your own bathroom. The pool and hot tub were delightful and we even managed to squeeze in a night around the fire pit. There is plenty of room in the house, that we never felt "on top of each other", even with 8+ people. The large kitchen allowed us to save some money by cooking a few of our meals. Within just a few minutes of The Retreat, you have access to a grocery store, shopping, a walking trail, hiking and more. And then a short drive to anything you would like to do in Phoenix. We explored the Deer Valley Petroglyphs, the Phoenix Zoo and Estrella Mountain Park when we weren't relaxing around the pool or watching a movie in the theatre room. We very highly recommend staying at The Retreat; Kevin and Anne were wonderful to work with!!
