A wonderful quiet neighborhood that lends itself peaceful morning walks. With a rural feeling, the home was a relatively short drive to high-end shopping and restaurants on North Scottsdale Drive. Lounging by pool in with your morning coffee was favorite activity. The home features large and well-equipped kitchen for at home cooking if you choose, with a Safeway just a mile away. We were visiting on golf buddy trip, but it was easy to drive and make all our tee times anywhere in the Metro-plex from here. The host was attentive via text messaging and provided excellent summary of check-in instructions prior to our arrivala, nd was accommodating with early access prior to the normal check-in time, which made easy to make our first afternoon tee time!

Great location for a vacation with friends. House was clean, spacious, kitchen was well-stocked, wi-fi was available. My favorite part was the backyard with the pool, it was perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or unwinding at night, the views are amazing. Communication with the host was phenomenal. Having such a wonderful place to stay really added to the enjoyment of the trip. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Birthday relaxing long weekend

We had a wonderful long weekend in this lovely large family property. It was perfect for our family of 4. Plenty of room to relax, watch TV, make meals indoors but the true highlight is the gorgeous desert backyard and large pool! Perfect location in North Scottsdale to feel away in the desert while being so close to highway and all the city! Great covered garage to keep the car cool!

The perfect place for our family!!!

We loved every minute from the second we stepped foot into the beautiful haven outside of scottsdale. Our family loved the pool and the chance to relax and cook in their beautiful kitchen and outdoor patio. So close to the best MacDonald horse farm where we loved the horseback ride experience e. Easy access to a day trip to Camelback Mountain. Thank you for opening your beautiful southwest home!

About the host

Hosted by Kirk Pischel

Host profile image
While having lived most of my life in California (Go bears!), I spent several years as a child on a working cattle ranch in Oregon. I'm a CPA/financial analyst by trade, virtual CFO, forensics expert, still working on a remote consultancy basis. After the kids got out on their own I've rekindled an interest in photography (as you'll see images scattered about), nature and the ancient peoples of the Southwest.

Why they chose this property

First and foremost this is a home. The main living area is bright and open with a wall of windows opening to the inviting patio and pool. The kitchen and its substantial granite countertops as well as custom dining table for eight are built for entertaining. The backyard with its beautiful landscaping draws one outside for dining, swimming, lounging or just enjoying the sights and sounds of the desert.

What makes this property unique

The property is close enough to downtown Scottsdale/Phoenix to be able to take advantage of what they have to offer. Yet, far enough north so as to be able to enjoy the open space and access to Carefree and Cave Creek to the north. Local activities include cycling, horseback riding (5 minutes south), hiking, golf, shopping and dining.
