About this property

Lakeside family friendly home—close to everything!

This is not a typical sparsely decorated home. We have traveled a lot and have special artifacts up and around for you to enjoy. The neighborhood is quiet and serene. Dawn on the lake with a cup of coffee on the patio is gorgeous. Go out on the lake with our paddle boat or kayak. We have fishing gear too.

Josephine actually ended up not staying with us. She came and looked the day before she was expected and felt that it would not work for her family. She was a good communicator. We are sorry we did not get to host her.

We stayed at this property for the month of March 2026. It was well stocked with anything we could have needed. The check in process was a breeze and communication with the Hosts was effortless. We loved being on the water and enjoyed watching the ducks snd geese. We picked the fresh lemons from the tree and did some baking with them. I would definitely recommend this rental and would stay again. It’s a beautiful and very safe neighborhood.

Just perfect

This house was perfect for our stay. Wake up to amazing views on the water and relax into the evening watching the ducks. All the little touches with their antiques and decorations from around the world were amazing. Our boys enjoyed reading all the abstracts. Really good place to just sit and be after a long day of baseball games. Would stay there again.

Ideally perfect!

This ideal location was perfect for our one month stay in Peoria AZ. Super close to everything that's exciting to do while also the quietest of neighborhoods. The house is amazingly warm, spacious and the waterfront view is to die for. Our hosts, Elizabeth and Doug were friendly, helpful and went out of their way to help us with all of our needs or concerns. I highly recommend!

Fantastic Stay, will return!

Beautiful home and location, can't complement it enough. Spacious, well furnished rooms and kitchen. Comfortable beds. Home was better equipped than most with cleaning supplies, paper towels, etc. Made lemonade often with the fresh citrus in the backyard! Elizabeth was a great host, very responsive. Location walking distance from the Peoria's Rio Vista Rec Center, restaurants, and hiking at the Thunderbird Conservation Park. Will be back!

Beautiful setting in super location

We enjoyed 7 weeks at this large, comfortable home with a fantastic back patio on the water. Close to the many shops and restaurants of Glendale & Peoria, close to the aging parents in Sun City we were here to spend time with, and a perfect home to share with visiting family and friends. Host was very responsive to all messages and supplied a well-stocked home--which we called it the "house of curiosities", being decorated with artifacts from all over the world! The pedalboat provided us with many evenings of light exercise as we explored the various arms of the lake, and our children and grandkids liked fishing off the deck. I could go on and on...we made so many great memories at this house and appreciated it so much!

Wonderful

The property was exactly as described and totally met our needs for our stay in the Phoenix area. Communication was fantastic, as Elizabeth kept us posted on some potential issues (there were none). She even reached out to see if we would be bothered by some work that needed to be done on their side of the property (we weren't). The icing on the cake was the fishing lesson for my son. When I messaged with a fishing question, Doug graciously offered his time to teach my son. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Douglas or Elizabeth Meyers

Host profile image
We love to travel! Our interests include hosting family and friends, archeology, geology, history, museums, exploring cultures, music, gardening, propagating plants, antiques, any kind of interaction with family, photography, helping others, church, and traveling. If you would like to follow us on some of our travels, you can ask to be invited to our FB page called traveling Adventures. Last year we went to the Amazon and Machu Picchu. My FB name is Elizabeth Tibish Paxton Meyers.

Why they chose this property

Besides having a terrific lakeside view, the neighborhood is quiet. The feeling inside the home is warm and inviting. This is a great place to relax and rest. However, it is also close to sports activities, many restaurants, theaters, and a large mall. We have a notebook filled with interesting places to visit from world-class museums to natural wonders like the Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, and Montezuma’s Castle.

What makes this property unique

This is not a typical beautifully decorated, but somewhat boring home. We live here part of the time and so we left up many of our interesting artifacts hoping you would also enjoy them. We hope you will be interested in looking and reading about them. We ask you to not try to pick any of them up and also to leave the unique rocks, petrified wood etc. here for all to enjoy. We have spent a lifetime collecting wonderful artifacts. This is part of why we love traveling so much. This is a uniquely decorated home.
