We had the loveliest, stress free visit at your beautiful property. It was perfect for our annual sisters reunion. The four of us had enough room for private moments of solitude and so many inviting places for the gathering times of meals and laughter! We especially appreciated the kind and easy communication with the hosting team. Two days into our visit, we were already thinking of returning next year!

Thank you so much for staying at Desert Sky Ranch! More plants have arrived, plus fountains, a new grill and other amenities!
This property is beautiful! Close to shopping and restaurants. Enough outdoor activities to keep kids busy for a long time. Pool was perfect and even had some pool toys. Everything but the groceries was here for us to use.

Why they chose this property
We love the mountain views of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve behind our home. There are hiking trails you can jump on nearby, as well as 4 small mountains just down the street for climbing: Lookout, North and Shadow Mountains and Shea Butte
What makes this property unique
Desert Sky Ranch is unique in that the backyard is so large with many areas to relax and have fun. Chill in a hammock or at the fire pit or battle it out with a game of horseshoes or ping-pong. There are a ton of options!
