This was our second stay at this property, and it did not disappoint. The owners maintain a lovely setting in one of the most peaceful locations in the southwest. Our only concern remains this: we don't want others to learn of this spot so that we have it all to ourselves!

Outstanding accomodations and beautiful setting

We found this property to be absolutely perfect for our family to gather and reunite so we could be close to the wedding venue at Bartlett Lake. The attention to detail in cleanliness, gourmet kitchen, delightful rooms and great indoor and outdoor spaces were pleasant and enjoyable for all ages. The communication with the wonderful host was prompt and friendly. We will definitely keep this place in mind for future visits. Top-notch in all areas!

Family getaway

This property was a perfect spot for our family to meet up for Thanksgiving. It was both spacious and cozy all at once. This is near enough to Cave Creek and Carefree to be very convenient. We enjoyed hiking in the area and just hanging out at the house in the pool and spa. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely stunning home! Immaculate, exceptionally decorated, and gorgeous pool area. JB (owner) was hands-down the most responsive host we’ve ever had. House is located in a gated community…which resulted in a quiet, peaceful, and luxurious stay. HIGHLY recommend…do not miss!

Quick trip to the sunshine

Beautiful property in a great area in North Scottsdale near Cave Creek. Loved the pool with waterfall. Loved the quiet location. House is exceptional. It was only my husband and I, but the floor plan is split and all rooms are suites so would easily accommodate a group. Owners were very easy to work with. Highly recommend this property.

Beautiful home in a fun location

Our stay could not have been better. The home is even more beautiful than the pictures. It’s an amazing luxury home in a great location. It’s in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful views but great hiking and nice restaurants and entertainment are close. John made the whole process easy and could not have been nicer. We will be back again soon.

Attending wedding and quick vacation

House was exceptionally clean, and very well done especially in regards to finishes. Very updated, And the photos, barely do it justice. Beautiful, wraparound patio with lovely exposed beams. Located across the street from Desert Mountain golf club and nearby Cave Creek and Carefree. Would book again
