And yes, I completely understand about the neighbor’s dog; while it’s outside of our control, we always do our best to address it quickly when it happens. I’m glad it didn’t take away from your overall experience. You’re welcome back anytime.
This home provided everything we needed for our week family vacation. It is a spot for relaxing and enjoying time with family. The home was perfect for us!
Had a great stay. Plenty of space and sleeping options for the 10 of us. House is in great shape and the pictures do it all of the justice! Would absolutely stay again.

It’s great to know the check-in and check-out details were helpful and made everything feel easy. I really appreciate your warm recommendation — you’re welcome back anytime.
Very nice, clean place. Has everything you need. The only negative I would say is that with the thermostat settings being in the mid 70s the upstairs area was about 78 at bedtime. A bit hotter than I’m comfortable with.

Thank you so much for your review. I’m truly glad to hear the home felt clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for your stay. I also really appreciate you mentioning the upstairs temperature — that feedback is very helpful, and I’ll make sure we adjust our settings and guidance so guests can easily cool the space to their comfort. Thank you again for staying with us; you’re welcome back anytime.
Family of 12 adults attending a destination wedding held at the Paseo. This home was the perfect balance of privacy and proximity to all necessities. Beautiful views of mountains, quiet mornings, and close to a variety of restaurants. Take a dip in the pool or hike up Silly Mountain.. or both. A nice getaway, we’d do it again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m truly glad to hear the home was a perfect fit for your family during your time at The Paseo and that the balance of privacy, convenience, and beautiful surroundings made your stay so enjoyable. It’s great to know you loved the mountain views, peaceful mornings, nearby restaurants, and the option to enjoy both the pool and Silly Mountain — such a great combination. I’m delighted your getaway was memorable, and you’re welcome back anytime.
Kirsten and her husband have an amazing property and welcoming home. This is a spacious home with alot of room. Don’t judge the house by your drive in, just look ahead and the gorgeous view of Silly Mountain and know that you chose the right place to stay. We plan to come back to this property every time we visit family in Apache Junction.

Thank you so much for your warm and thoughtful review. I’m truly glad to hear the home felt spacious, welcoming, and like the right choice the moment you saw the views of Silly Mountain — it really is such a special sight. It means a great deal to know you plan to return whenever you visit family in Apache Junction. We’d be honored to host you again anytime.
We had the most amazing stay at this property! It was the perfect home base for a house full of bridesmaids leading up to a wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better setting.From the moment we walked in, the space felt welcoming, clean, and beautifully styled — ideal for a group of girls getting ready for such a special occasion. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and the layout worked perfectly for hair, makeup, and all the pre-wedding prep. The natural lighting and spacious bathrooms were especially great for getting ready!The living areas were cozy yet open, giving us lots of room to hang out, laugh, and make memories. The host thought of everything — from comfortable beds to welcome champagne — which made our stay effortless and fun.If you’re planning a girls’ trip, bridal party weekend, or wedding stay, this place is everything you need and more. We felt relaxed, cared for, and totally at home. Can’t recommend it enough — we’re already talking about coming back!

Thank you so much for this beautiful and thoughtful review. I’m truly honored that the home was able to play a part in such a special weekend and that it worked so perfectly as a home base for the bridal party. It’s wonderful to hear the space felt welcoming, clean, and beautifully styled from the moment you arrived, and that the layout, natural light, and spacious bathrooms made getting ready easy and enjoyable for everyone.
I’m so glad the living areas, comfortable beds, and little touches helped your group feel cared for and completely at home during such an important celebration. Your kind words mean a great deal, and I’m thrilled to know the stay created so many great memories.
You’re welcome back anytime — it would be a joy to host you all again.
Home was great. Close to wedding venue, lots of fun for all. Neighborhood was marginal. Pay close attention to no trespassing signs of neighbors. My nephew was threatened when he was jogging down the road.

Thank you so much for your review. I’m truly glad to hear the home worked well for your group, especially with its proximity to the wedding venue and the amenities that made your stay enjoyable.
I’m very sorry to hear about the experience your nephew had while jogging — that is not something we ever want our guests to encounter. We include reminders in the house manual for this reason, but I completely understand how unsettling that situation must have been, and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention so I can continue reinforcing guidance for future guests.
Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing helpful feedback. I’m glad your group still enjoyed the home, and I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness in letting us know.
This house was generally great for our needs, and the host was always communicative. The house was very clean upon arrival.
Our only complaint was the thermostat restrictions. The house always felt uncomfortably warm, especially upstairs. Since it was cooler outside at night than inside, we attempted to cool the primary suite by opening a window but discovered no window screens to keep out the bugs.
Overall, our stay was great, and the house provided the perfect backdrop to our wedding weekend + rehearsal dinner.
Pool note: We stayed in mid-April, and the pool was a great temperature since it does not get much shade.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and balanced review. I’m truly glad to hear the home was very clean on arrival, that communication felt seamless, and that it provided a beautiful setting for your wedding weekend and rehearsal dinner — it means a lot to know it supported such a special occasion.
I also really appreciate you sharing your experience with the thermostat settings and upstairs temperature. Your comfort is incredibly important, and feedback like this helps us make meaningful improvements. We’ve already updated our temperature guidelines, and we’re adding window screens so guests can let in cool evening air without worrying about bugs. Thank you for bringing this to our attention in such a constructive way.
I’m happy to hear the pool was a great temperature for your spring stay, and I truly appreciate you choosing our home for such an important event. You’re welcome back anytime.
The house was beautiful and spacious for the size of our family. I had a few incidents that I reached out to the owner and she answered immediately. The threat of quiet time and noise control really worried me before we got there, but it wasn't us making all the noise. The neighbor has , dog and let's it out at 6 AM barking for and hour, that happened the first two mornings and was taken care of after I reported it. The pool was used once because the water was so cold and we paid a 250 heating fee for something! Two out of three umbrellas were broken, but new ones were sent that day. The grill is charcoal and was left very dirty, so we couldn't use it. There wasn't enough bath towels, no wash cloths, dish clothes or kitchen towels. New fry pans in the kitchen would be nice, as all the Teflon is worn off. There are some things that need to be addressed if you are going to advertise such an stunning house.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly glad to hear the home felt beautiful and spacious for your family and that our communication was helpful when you reached out. I always want guests to feel supported throughout their stay.
I also appreciate you sharing the areas that didn’t meet expectations. We take guest experience very seriously, and your notes help us continue improving. I’m glad we were able to resolve the neighbor’s dog situation immediately and replace the umbrellas the same day. Regarding the grill, pool heat, and linens — these should have been fully prepared and stocked prior to your arrival, and I’m sorry they were not up to standard for your stay. We have already addressed these items with our cleaning and maintenance teams to ensure they are corrected moving forward.
Thank you again for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. I’m glad your family enjoyed the space overall, and I truly appreciate the opportunity to make things even better for future guests.
About the host
Hosted by Kirsten Johnson
Greg and Kirsten met in a design class at George Fox University many years ago. Some time later they reunited in a ceramics class where Greg realized he would love to marry this beautiful artistic girl. Thankfully, after graduating, Greg’s dream came true and he married Kirsten. Kirsten taught preschool while Greg pursued a masters to later teach high school ceramics. In 2012 they started looking for a house that they could afford on a teacher's salary.
They began their property journey together in their native state of Oregon, where they bought 11 undeveloped acres armed with a weed whacker, Youtube, and a willingness to do whatever necessary. The "12 months of building" actually took 36...but they never gave up and created their first home together, and welcomed baby Lucy.
Since moving to Arizona, Greg and Kirsten have continued to develop homes they love into unique destinations that offer guests relaxing and memorable experiences, with the people they hold dearest. Greg has stepped away from teaching following the advice he gave his students to step into your gifts and dreams.
Why they chose this property
As artists, both Greg and Kirsten wanted this house to reflect a geometric southwest with contemporary minimalism. It was the understated luxury of its wide open space, grand features and bold geometric lines that first attracted them to this house. They immediately saw potential and began rehabilitating, a full landscape, and setup. WIth the aim to create a space that balances aesthetic and function.
Outside the house, the focus was to contrast the desert landscape by adding green space emphasizing the pool adding modern comforts. We've hoped to create a multipurpose outdoor space with relaxation and having fun in mind! We wanted to create space for you to connect, slow down, and make memories with those you love.
We want this property to be a place that heals and recharges you. Life is very difficult, stressful, and humans can be hard to deal with. We hope you can feel the peace we have prayed over this land and home. We hope you leave feeling closer to who you are, more centered, and more alive.
What makes this property unique
Most of our visitors comment on the calming and centering effects of this stunning landscape. Our house sits overlooking the Superstition and Silly Mountains with hiking trails minutes from our doorstep. Bolero is a great place to gain perspective, reconnect with yourself and nature. Often visited by jack rabbits, qual, and other animals that make these lands their home, so please take care.
