We were so busy with family celebrations that we didn't really have time to explore the resort. However, the house we stayed in was clean, well stocked, and comfortable. And, very nicely decorated, just charming. Chuck and Cynthia were great. I'd love to come back when we have more time!

The property was well maintained and beautiful. Everyone was so kind and nice to visit with. We loved walking around and just looking at the area. We hope to come back soon and spend more time. Even considering it to be a place to retire in a few years. Loved the home and the community.

Mesa Winter get away 2021

The house was very clean and neat. Appliances appear new and were in very good working order. The pantry and refrig. were well stocked with things you might not think to bring. Bathrooms and bed rooms were in good condition and the master bed is incredibly comfortable. We would rent this property again. Improvements might include a golf cart , new grill but all is very good otherwise . The sky lights are inspiring.

Perfect

My friend and I chose this listing because of its location and that there are pickleball courts (12!) on the property. It turns out it was much more than that - a charming, well-maintained unit with access to all manner of fun amenities for "age approved" 55+. We enjoyed the 'trikes' and went to the very hot hot tub each night. The kitchen was well stocked with staples, cookware and dishes. All was very comfortable. Cynthia was quick to answer when we had a couple of questions.

Hi We were visiting family in Meza AR. We needed and wanted a taste a community/RV living mixed with the non hotel floor plan. This house satisfied our wish list. It was stocked with all the needed accessories. If you are visiting the Meza area, we can 110% recommend it. Thanks Roe & Rich

A piece of heaven

This a wonderfully decorated and functional unit. It was in a great area of the park, close walking distance to all the amenities. The king bed was very comfortable with nice linens. Towels were nice and fluffy. The kitchen had everything we needed. My husband's back was bothering him so using the bikes provided was a great help. The hosts were great communicators and very accommodating. We would definitely stay there again!

Perfect for our stay!

Absolutely loved our stay, this property located in gated community. Very quiet and safe. Home was perfect for our needs during our stay. The property was clean, very comfortable and well stocked with quality amenities, owners have everything you might need on site. Was able to spend a day at the pool which was FANTASTIC! I think my favorite thing was sitting on the patio with my morning coffee, watching the sunrise with the sprinklers going across the street at the ballfields with the Mountains in the background! What’s not to love!!!! Would stay here again without hesitation.

Loved this place!!

We stayed for one week in Mesa, and fell in love with the property/resort. Great swimming pools, pickle ball court, and tons of things to do here! We were able to communicate with the host if we had any questions. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen was more that adequately stocked. Great place, wish we could have stayed longer but work was calling us. We highly recommend if you are in the Mesa area.

Just right for our needs.

This was a handy place to stay in the Gilbert/ Mesa area while in Arizona for Christmas with family. The house was neat, comfortable and well organized. It is in an adult retirement/ vacation community. As we were busy with family, we did not have time to explore the local amenities, but we saw people walking, riding bikes, playing softball and tennis. It would be a great place to snowbird.

About the host

Hosted by Chuck and Cynthia Angerman

Host profile image
As natives of Colorado, we have spent over three decades enjoying the Rocky Mountains with our families. From the time they were infants, our family enjoyed camping, hiking, fishing, and the nearby mountains.

We have infrequently visited Arizona, where Chuck's parents lived for more than 20 years as snowbirds in Mesa, Arizona. We appreciate how different the scenery is from Colorado, which is hot and dry with saguaros. We fell deeply in love with the Monte Vista resort, and the locals were really welcoming. His parents passed away at this point, so we made the decision to "adopt" their home.

We wish you the same sense of enchantment as we do when you explore the area. OUR FAMILY VACATION HOME IS HERE! We kindly request that you show the respect that our house and the places you visit deserve. Leave no trace and tread gently. We are so happy to have you stay at our house, and we hope to see you again soon!

Originally constructed in 2000, this charming home has undergone extensive renovations by us. Activities inside the resort's 80+ acres are only a short distance away; you can walk or ride your bike to go around. It features an open kitchen, dining area, living room, and two bedrooms and two bathrooms. We're not that far from the pool you see in the photo—just a short stroll away!

The Superstition Mountains are visible from our home! It's fourteen miles distant for a drive. If you enjoy hiking, you can have a picnic at the neighboring lake where you can see a variety of saguaros, cacti, and, if you're lucky, lovely flowers.

Enjoy this peaceful retreat close to amazing hiking, stores, and museums. You may also choose to sit on our terrace and read your favorite book (book exchange is included) while taking in the breathtaking sunsets. This home features a guest room and a private bedroom with a king-size bed on the main floor.

We appreciate you visiting the Heritage Escape website to learn more about our offerings.
