It was a perfect place to stay for our family! We have stayed at a lot of vrbo’s and this was the best!!! There was so much to do for all 3 generations right here at the house. It has a great open floor plan for hanging out and there are so many areas to congregate. The amount of games to play made it so much fun! It has every amenity we could possibly need such as nice little extras like a Kuerig, nightlights in all the rooms and hallways, a fire pit, decks of cards and every kitchen need you could possibly want. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The location is great because it’s near Kierland and right off of Scottsdale Road. I cannot say enough about the outdoor space. It is beautiful and there are so many cozy areas to choose from. Also, the host was so friendly, very communicative and made everything so easy. It was very clean and I am picky! We will definitely stay here again!!!

This house was an amazing getaway for a week of family time with multiple generations. We enjoyed cooking meals in the well stocked kitchen and the beautiful grilling setup! Pool and so many games to keep us all busy or escape into a quiet sitting room to watch a movie or read a book. King beds and bedding were excellent. Nice quiet location, we look forward to coming back. Not sure if Stacy and Kurt controlled the weather but we had a beautiful cool July week!

We were a group of 9, with ages ranging from 9 to 68, and we all enjoyed our stay at The Big Dog! Stacy was always friendly and quick to respond to any questions. The house was spacious and clean with so many games and activities to do right on the property. The back yard and pool area were also wonderful! Everything is as pictured and described on the website, but you truly have to stay to appreciate everything this house offers.

We had such an amazing stay at this VRBO! The house was spacious, super clean, well maintained, and perfect for our group. There were 13 of us and it still felt huge! The pool and outdoor area were definitely a highlight, we spent so much time out there and loved every second of it.The kitchen was also incredible and had everything we needed to cook meals comfortably during our stay, which made things so easy. The second fridge in the garage was also helpful to have! Stacy was an absolutely wonderful host from start to finish… extremely communicative, helpful, and thoughtful throughout the entire process from booking to checkout.Would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing, fun, and seamless stay!

The house, as well as the the host/owner Stacy, was excellent. Stacy made the check-in and check-out process very easy. We had 8 guys staying here for a week-long golf trip the first week of March. Plenty of room. Great gathering area for after golf relaxing, shooting pool, playing shuffle board, and cards/poker chips included. The house was very well maintained (all of the essentials and high end appliances for cooking in), and super convenient to all of our golf courses and just minutes from the best restaurants. I would recommend this house in a heart beat. We are already scheduling a future trip and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I’m so glad the house worked well for your golf trip, and it sounds like you made great use of the game room and gathering spaces after your rounds. The location really is hard to beat with so many great courses and restaurants just minutes away. You and your group were fantastic guests, and it was truly a pleasure hosting you. We’d absolutely love to have you back anytime and look forward to your next golf trip to The Big Dog!

We spent 5 nights at the Big Dog and I can’t recommend it more. We had the most amazing time staying here with our family while in AZ for my nephew’s wedding. The rooms were spacious, clean and so comfortable. The kitchen was perfect and included all the pots and pans we needed. It was so easy to communicate with Stacy and Kurt. They’d check in daily and would respond within minutes if we had a question. All in all it was such an amazing trip and the best place to stay and make so many beautiful memories!
