The home was incredibly clean and well maintained, with all the modern amenities you could need. The location felt remote and peaceful, yet was still close to great restaurants and shopping. Surrounded by nature and horses, with some of the best trails within walking distance, it’s true Arizona style with gorgeous mountain views. I would absolutely book here again for future trips to Arizona.

A beautiful home in a wonderful location! This home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the views are amazing. We stayed here for two weeks while enjoying mountain biking and horseback riding in the McDowell Preserve just down the street. Day trips into Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Fountain Hills were just an hour ride. Groceries easily available on your way up Pima Road to your secluded home away from home. We are already planning our next visit!

Everything was nice. The beds were nice. The arrangement of the furniture in the living room was perfect with the television and the seating was great for dinner. The views were beautiful. The access to the activities that I was interested in were perfect mountain biking is just down the street and exquisite trails. Excellent food in the general vicinity. I’m very happy that I picked this VRBO. The owners are very understanding and helpful throughout the whole entire process. Highly recommend this house. If you’re interested in the Cave Creek area you really can’t go wrong. I want to extend my thanks to the owners once again for a perfect stay and a wonderful house.

Beautiful home in a great location

Initially we were a bit skeptical about the location of this property however it turned out to be perfect for access to recreation opportunities and not to far from town for restaurants and groceries. The views are gorgeous and we enjoyed the wildlife activity out the back door.

Quiet Oasis

Wonderful home in a quiet area tucked between McDowell and Tonto Forest but close enough to North Scottsdale, Cave Creek, etc. If you like the feeling of being remote but with all the amenities of a new home then this is a must stay. I will be back!

Nice house. Definitely out in the middle of nowhere. Inside was spacious. 8/10 in the cleanliness department, there was hair on the bathroom floors. Biggest downside was not being able to use the garage at all, and not being able to use the master closet. I had nowhere besides 3 very small drawers to put my clothes, and nowhere at all to hang anything. With how big the bedroom is they could at least put some kind of cabinet in there to hang clothes.
