The space
Wake up beneath swaying palms, sip your morning coffee under desert-blue skies, and watch the sunlight filter through the Boho-inspired backyard oasis that defines your Arizona escape.
Welcome to The Westchester House, a serene desert retreat designed for families and groups who want both comfort and connection. Tucked into a quiet Tempe neighborhood, this spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bath home sleeps up to 16 guests and offers the perfect balance between relaxed suburban living and easy access to everything the Phoenix metro has to offer.
-Desert-Inspired Living-
Step inside to a warm, inviting interior styled with a Boho Desert flair — soft earth tones, woven textures, and natural light throughout. The open living area features a cozy sectional, a Smart TV, and plenty of space for everyone to unwind with board and card games after a day in the sun.
The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need for effortless dining — from stainless steel cookware and utensils to an Instant Pot, blender, and rice cooker. Start your day at the Starbucks-stocked coffee station with K-cups and ground coffee options before gathering around the indoor dining table for breakfast together.
Laundry is a breeze with a full washer and dryer, and high-speed Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected and streaming smoothly.

-Backyard Retreat-
Out back, you’ll find what guests love most about this home: a large private backyard built for relaxation and connection. Cool off in the crystal-clear pool (heated by request for an additional fee), or soak in the laid-back vibe under the string lights as you lounge on the outdoor furniture.
Enjoy dinner al fresco at the outdoor dining table, then gather around the firepit as the desert evening cools off. Between matches of cornhole, ladderball, and giant Jenga, you’ll quickly see why this is a favorite spot for family barbecues and weekend getaways.
And those towering palm trees? They make the perfect Arizona backdrop for your group photos.

About the host
Hosted by Samantha Downey
I’m Colin, an Arizona-based host who’s spent the last several years restoring and designing unique homes across the Valley. I split my time between real estate, music, and outdoor adventure, and I love creating comfortable spaces where people can relax, recharge, and feel at home the moment they walk in.
My goal as a host is simple: clear communication, thoughtful touches, and a smooth, stress-free stay. Whether you’re here for family time, work, or a desert getaway, I’m always available for questions and happy to share local tips to help make your trip memorable.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it’s one of the best-located pockets in Tempe—quiet, safe, and residential, yet close to everything. Guests love how easy it is to get around: you’re minutes from South Mountain trails, ASU, Downtown Tempe, Old Town Scottsdale, Chandler tech campuses, and major highways.
What I enjoy most is the walkability and the relaxed, family-friendly feel. Mature trees line the streets, neighbors look out for one another, and you can grab great food, coffee, or groceries without driving far. It feels peaceful while still offering fast access to the best the Phoenix Metro has to offer.
What makes this property unique
This home was redesigned with guests in mind—stylish interiors, durable finishes, and a layout that’s perfect for groups and families. You’ll find a fully stocked kitchen, hotel-quality linens, fast WiFi, and comfortable work-and-relax spaces throughout.
Outside, the backyard is the real highlight: modern hardscaping, artificial turf, a private swimming pool, shaded patio areas, and plenty of room to gather. It’s a true desert retreat where you can lounge all day or unwind after exploring the city.
Every detail—from furniture to lighting to amenities—was selected to create a clean, modern, and comfortable experience. Guests often tell me it feels like a boutique stay with the privacy of a whole home.
