This property was by far the best one I've stayed at thus far. I host small business retreats for my clients, and it's important to me that I provide a great experience. This starts with the location I use. There wasn't one issue with this property. The owner/manager was so communicative and helpful. The property was clean and well-stocked. There was more than enough room for me and my guests. I would definitely stay here again.
This is our new go to property for staycations. Beautiful home located close to outdoor activities and equipped with all the entertainment you need for large families.
The house was perfect for our family weekend. We were in town for a wedding and the house had plenty of things to keep the kids entertained while we were there.
Terrific property inside and out! This home was perfect for a family of six. Entertainment inside and out. Well stocked kitchen that allowed for many at-home meals. Beautiful views and hiking trails.
Our stay was wonderful! There was nothing that we lacked. All our needs were met. Very clean, comfortable and cozy. They provided places to visit, eat, and shop. Very impressed with this VBRO. Thank you and we will hope to stay again
Our group was meeting for an executive board meeting and the house was great. WiFi worked well and the house was perfect for us. Lots of room but also lots of space to sit together and talk. Nice secluded location and very peaceful. Thank you!
The house had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. There was ample kitchenware and seating for a large group. Everyone enjoyed all the amenities (bocce, ping pong, shuffle puck, the swim spa and the theater room. The Mountain Views were spectacular and the area was peaceful and quiet. Plenty of hiking trails nearby and golfing and restaurants within a 15-20 minute drive. Andy was an amazing owner - easy to communicate with and very attentive! We would highly recommend this property!!!
We had a great time! There was room for everyone, the house has a great setup and enough room for everyone to have their own space. We loved the darts, ping pong table, shuffleboard and the movie room downstairs. We did have a little check in problem but Andy responded quickly and everything was taken care of. The house is a little ways from restaurants and grocery stores so make sure to plan accordingly. If we were planning on going somewhere we planned more things to do while we were out that day. So then we didnât have to leave and come back. We lived the house and would for sure stay again!
Huge kitchen, gorgeous dining room with beautiful three sided view. We watched movies in the theater, hung out in the Jacuzzi. We played a lot of ping pong and shuffleboard. Great, great, great family location. Andy was super responsive and super helpful, and it's priced well. This was twice the house for a lot less money.
Thanks again Andy for a great Kelly family reunion.

The expansive property had something fun to offer for every age group. Our favorite was the back yard area and the incredibly relaxing enormous FitSpa, WOW!! The location was private, quiet and far enough away from the city lights to enjoy star gazing. Clean, current, with standard provisions. Andy, was very easy to reach and quickly responsive. Our only negatives are that the professional landscaping is severely overgrown and the driveway was very rugged with a sharp steep curve and many ruts. More suited to an off-road vehicle rather than a luxury car/suv.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. It is a lovely large home with 5 bedrooms of which we only used 4 and everyone had their own private bathroom! This trip was to celebrate a milestone birthday in a secluded location with peaceful mornings/evenings without disruptions from a crowded neighborhood or heavy traffic nearby. This home met the challenge successfully and with it provided tons of fun for our family to enjoy. We cooked all meals during the stay except one birthday dinner in Cave Creek. The kitchen was appropriately equipped with all needed cookware, glassware, utensils and even some seasonings and basics left behind by other guests. Every member said they absolutely loved this home and welcomed a chance to stay here again. You will not be disappointed if youâre looking for an oasis off the main grid yet equipped with more to do than time to do it all in a week.
Needed more care and attention. Beautiful bites of the
They landscape was in need of weeding and the hot tub only worked 1/3 of the time. Took two repairmen to finally get it fixed. Freezer was broken on arrival but it did get repaired immediately. The pillows were like rocks. I expected a better sheet quality for a place like this. No instructions for the TV (unless you use dish at home) no clear instructions for fireplace or outdoor fireplace. The dirt road would not have been a problem except for the unusual torrential rains we had during the month we were there
Property is amazing with great views and lots of wildlife. House is large enough for everyone to have privacy. Was very clean and had plenty of parking space. Owner was friendly & quick to respond to any issues we had. Our only complaints for our 5 day stay was that the beds are beyond hard, and the property manager arriving (twice) and entering property while we were guests without any notice, including backyard and garage areas. A very offputting situation when having morning coffee on back patio in pajamas and strangers just appear around back corner of house when we believed we had privacy. I understand trash and jacuzzi maintenance is necessary on weekly basis, but simple text or message through VRBO to property guests to ensure privacy and safety of all, shouldn't be overlooked. We appreciate the great time we had playing bocce ball and shuffleboard! It was a great getaway from Las Vegas for our family. We would love to stay again when in Scottsdale. Thank you.
Stunning view, Amazing Home in Secluded area Cave Creek
Absolutely beautiful views from this gorgeous house. Looking out the kitchen dining picture window to beautiful marshmallow pink and purple clouds with Saguaro cactus was breathtaking.
We are used to pine trees in Mammoth or Palm Trees in Ca desert.
The rolling hills here are dotted with giant Saguaro and we couldn't get enough.
The patio was great, with paver stones & lots of shade, it was almost 100 every day. But the AC worked great in this big house.
We rented the house for the above ground swim pool/spa-because we have an English Bulldog who would sink like a weight, so we never felt safe renting a place with a pool.
For the 2 of us, this pool was perfect. Taking a refreshing dip after golf everyday was really nice.
Our dog lounged on the faux grass and cool paver stones, while we soaked up the sun.
There were a few nights we enjoyed lightening shows at the surrounding mountains, just far enough to not hear, but the view was fantastic.
The home itself is huge!.. With just the 2 of us, we used only the master bedroom and bath, which was very comfortable.
Great kitchen, gas stove and we cooked every morning and night and enjoyed the dining off the kitchen.
There was a horse ranch right across the street and it was fun to watch them.
This was a fabulous trip to the Cave Creek/Scottsdale area, we definitely recommend it highly.
While it was 20 to 30 min to the stores and golf, once you are here you're in your own private hacienda.
This is an amazing property with everything you will need. My family and I loved this place so much, we didnât want to leave. Iâd recommend this place to anyone. Great location! Beautiful home. And great property management, very attentive and kind!
Lovely home in a beautiful, non-suburban, natural setting. The house was well maintained, clean and very comfortable. The owner was helpful and easy to work with.
This place is in a very peaceful spot with a beautiful spa/pool, great back yard and amazing rooms. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The house was well stocked with towels, TP, etc. I have marked this house and we will come back again. Worth every penny.
This house has everything for all ages and for whatever mood you are in. Theater, pool, game room, and plenty of space to just chill and enjoy the tranquil setting. Its just far enough from the city and barely off the paved roads to make you feel like you are isolated far off into countryside, yet it is just a short drive to restaurants and entertainment if your mood takes you that direction. The owner is easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating. Canât wait to go back!
Originally from Michigan, my passion for golf brought me to Arizona in 1998. After a career in the golf business and now retired from the PGA of America as a life member, I look forward to providing you with the greatest vacation rental experience.
