Find peace and solitude at this three-bedroom desert escape! Directly bordering more than 16,000 acres of desert wilderness at the foothills of South Mountain, this home offers plenty of opportunity for spotting wildlife and great access for exploring a plethora of hiking trailheads just around the corner. Check out Desert Classic Tail, Pima Canyon Trail, and Marcos De Niza Trail. It's also excellent for mountain biking, hiking, and running and is only a short drive to grocery stores and many highly-rated local restaurants. Downtown Phoenix's food, shopping, and entertainment are just a short drive away.

Enjoy a 10-feet deep saltwater swimming pool in the ultimate privacy, serenity, and natural surroundings. When temperatures start to dip in the evening, fire up the grill for a poolside cookout. Updated fixtures and appliances will welcome you home in comfort. The full kitchen is equipped with quality kitchen appliances for dine-in cooking, and the wood-burning fireplace in the living area provides ambience and warmth for movie nights. A large, 65' Samsung 4K TV with a backlight is perfect for endless entertainment, while the height-adjustable electric standing desk with a 27' monitor is ideal for your work-cation.

Primary bedroom guests will enjoy an attached bath and direct access to the pool deck.

Pleasant time in Phoenix
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very comfortable and a good location. We wished the owners would have listed more of the amenities they had in the VRBO as it would have helped with our packing. Only other thing that would have been nice were more restaurant suggestions. Maybe consider a place for your guests to write their recommendations for future guests.

House was nice and accommodating. Only an issue with accessing property upon arrival. They locked a gate to courtyard, so we couldn’t get to front door to access elock box…

Nice stay. Great hiking access
This is a really nice property. The home is comfortable. The back pool area is lovely and the view is wonderful. The easy access to hours of hiking is a real perk. Would stay again.

Hiker's dream home
Great home within a couple hundred feet from some of the best hiking in all of Phoenix. Home was very comfortable and just the right size for three people (couples) to relax. Trailhead access is 5 houses down and you can spend days on trail if you wanted to. Beautiful sunrise/sunset photography options.

I stayed with 2 friends for a long weekend to attend a concert and soak up the last of summer. The house was clean and as described. We really enjoyed the pool and view of the recreational area.

Disappointed
House was fine other than the patio in the back next to the pool that had a trail of red ants each day. AC was inadequate to keep 70 temp at night. I attempted a late check out. System kept getting errors and by the time I got responses from property management it was too late to achieve due to their policies on late check out. I will avoid this property management in the future.

Quiet Getaway
Pros: Quiet, clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was supplied with mostly everything we needed. The home was situated overlooking a big hill where people climbed daily. It was an awesome view of watchin them climb and at night the coyotes howling. Cons: Furnishing were uncomfortable for the aging adults (low to the ground and very wide seating). The outside patio furniture was worn & rickety. The table was wobbly and a chair broke while sitting in it from being worn. The pool when we arrived was dirty and full of tree pollen. I called in right away but the pool people did not come for 2 days. We arrived on a Tues and they came on Thursday. I spent hours skimming all the tree pollen off in hopes of us being able to swim. They need to make sure to run the filter more and keep the pool clean for guests arriving. Once we got it cleaned off and the filter kicked on the pool started to filter out all the pollen left. After that the pool was clean and we were able to swim and enjoy it. I recently had a knee replacement and found it very hard to get in and out of the pool. The step is very deep and they have no grab bar. I would suggest installing a grab bar not only for people like me but for children as well. I would update the aging patio furniture too.

Amazing 5 star property, frustrating property management
This home is gorgeous, well appointed, wonderfully located, and just as described. We rented this home to be in my cousin’s neighborhood to spend time with family and relax. We loved it. Appreciate all the extras provided from coffee and tea to shampoo and soaps. The home is steps away from an incredible trail system. We hiked every day. There is nothing at all wrong with the home except for the management. Please note the property is managed by Vacasa and they do not check messages on Vrbo. To reach the management about pool heat and early check-in I had to locate the vacasa phone # and go through their complicated phone system. It took multiple phone calls over several days to discover we could not get an early check-in and the property does not have pool heat. So, this home is a must-stay as long as you’re prepared to wrestle with Vacasa bureaucracy if you need assistance.

Just Perfect
House was clean, highly organized, and had everything we needed. Proximity to South Mountain is hard to beat. Access to the trails couldn’t be closer and we saw tons of wildlife right behind the house (Javelinas, coyotes, etc). Backyard was quiet and very enjoyable. Really just a perfect place to stay. We will be back.

Pluses & minuses
The house is a very nice location. A short walk to many walking & biking trails. Close to a grocery store. Nice quiet neighborhood. Beautiful view from the enclosed backyard. Minuses—pool was ice cold, not heated. No grill that could be used. There was a charcoal grill in the garage, but there was a sheet of information that said not to use it. They living room furniture is not very comfortable for sitting to watch tv. If the pool had been heated, and a usable gas grill, this would be an absolutely perfect rental.

Great Spring Getaway
Perfect location to enjoy nearby hikes and the pool (although the water was a bit cold)! We did have a few minor issues upon arrival and it took a little time to get thorough to the Vacasa property management. Once we got ahold of them, they quickly addressed all issues.
