The place was perfect for our needs - close to the freeway for easy travel to various baseball stadiums, plus close to good restaurants and any number of stores for whatever you need.
Truly was a Desert Oasis and after hiking in desert land all week to have a pool and a patch of grass to walk barefoot in made everything right with the world!
The Desert Oasis is Great. Clean , quiet . Backyard relaxing .. Entertained by the hummingbirds are fun to watch ! Richard is a great host .. quick responses ..
Richard was so up to date with us and made sure all was well throughout our stay! the pool and kitchen were our favorite spots, they were super unique and homely. such a great host and place, looking forward to staying here again!
My husband and I brought our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter to Arizona for vacation. Everyone had alot of fun. The house was comfortable, the pool and hot tub were great, we spent alot of time outside. The host checked in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.
This was a nice hidden gem. The property provided a private swimming area with palm trees and cacti to give it an oasis vibe. Floating in the pool watching the stars above was pretty amazing. Location was great as it was an easy drive to anywhere we wanted to visit. Loved the record player and the vintage vinyl! Communication with Rich was easy and he was very responsive. Would definitely stay again on a future visit.
We enjoyed the unique decor and great daylight in this house, plus spinning tunes on the record player. The backyard pool and hot tub with views of mountains where great as well. Good location within 5 minutes of hikes, groceries, and Interstates for road trips. Rich is a stellar host.
Cute spot, with a good location relative to hikes and to Scottsdale. Sad we didn’t get to take advantage of the pool or hot tub because they looked great! And the owner is a great communicator so we really appreciated that.
We stayed at this property for a week…very clean, comfortable, with everything my granddaughters and I needed! The kitchen amenities were plenty, including all necessary utensils. Towels, plenty and clean. Only thing I could recommend would be a few more larger cups or glasses, but this is minor…the location is perfect for exploring in every direction of the greater Phoenix area. The girls did not want to leave. If we return to Phoenix for another visit, we definitely would like to return to Rich’s home.
Property checked all the boxes for the basics and excelled at the extras! The charming host was incredibly personable and his property reflected that throughout with the record collection, greeting wine, personal hygiene supplies and many other things. Truly a host of hosts creating a wonderful experience!
My son, daughter, husband and I met in Phoenix to celebrate husband's birthday. The home was very comfortable, super clean and easy access to the activities we came to town for: golf, hiking and dining.
This property has it all! We loved our stay and actually asked if the host ever considered selling - furnished because we loved it that much! The detail in the decor and amenities was perfection!
My wife and I stayed with her parents at the property on Lupine so my mother in law could have surgery. We were pleasantly surprised with a pellet smoker and all the condiments and comforts of this home. Owner was attentive to our needs and we enjoyed a peaceful stay. I’d recommend this property to anyone A plus
We had a great time. We have family that live just 2 blocks over so Richard’s place was perfect for us. Loved watching the sky lighten up from the kitchen windows. Beds were comfortable and decor was quirky but fun. He is a wonderful host and quick to answer any questions. Will be back.

You're awesome, Donna! You are all welcome back anytime.
Rich’s place was perfect for our family getaway with the kiddos and grandma. There was plenty of room for the 5 of us. The house was well equipped and had the best coffee appliance selection of probably any place I’ve stayed! Beds were comfy. Backyard was great. Location is close to lots of shopping and hiking options but on a very quiet street in a nice neighbourhood. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for hosting us Rich!
My girlfriends and I got together for a long weekend in Phoenix and this property was perfect for our needs. Rich was very responsive with everything from an early check in to a late check out he went above and beyond. The property was within walking distance of a grocery store and multiple restaurants. The hot tub was a nice bonus for after day relaxation. Five stars!
Can’t recommend this place enough. The place has real style and Rich is an impeccable host - always responsive and generous with advice. Initially we were concerned when we saw on Google maps that the place was near a highway, but this was a total non issue. Don’t let this dissuade you! Comfortable beds, lovely yard and pool (we were a bit early in the season to enjoy it). Good water pressure, all appliances are top notch with every channel and streaming service imaginable. We would totally stay here again. Very good vibes from arrival to departure. Thank you, Rich!
Great location in quiet area. Easy in/out. Very quick communication with owner. Pool and backyard were great.

About the host
Hosted by Richard Wnuk
Lover of wine, food, literature, and adventure. I want to experience as much culture as I can before my time on this earth ends. I'm really looking forward to hosting guests. I've always wanted to create a space for people to have a great time and experience how awesome the desert is.
Why they chose this property
This property is in a great neighborhood and close to everything! It's a short drive to downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale. It has great access to the 17 to go up north to wine country and Sedona. I absolutely love this house and I hope you do too.
