**Important things to know about Cardinal Home**

》Shares a driveway with the casita on the property, which could be occupied when you rent. Please respect the other’s privacy.

》Remote property without many stores. Plan accordingly. There’s a Walgreens nearby; however, a grocery store is 20+ minutes away.

》Located on a dirt road. Expect a little bit of dust.

》Food delivery is sparse; however, a few places deliver on UberEats

》You'll need a car to get around. Uber and Lyft are difficult here.

》Pest control sprays the home monthly with non-toxic, environmentally friendly chemicals to help keep the bugs away.

》We’re preparing for a full remodel in the near future. In the meantime, allow us to share our home with its imperfections and a handful of outdated features (albeit charming). The home is plenty comfortable and functional for your stay.



✨ Is This Home Right for You?

This home is ideal for guests who are:

- A couple or a few guests looking for a peaceful outdoor escape

- Someone who enjoys nature, fresh air, and wide open space

- Comfortable with a quiet, rural setting, with dirt roads and local wildlife are part of the experience.

- Enjoys an active, outdoor lifestyle—hiking, desert walks, biking, or running in wide-open spaces.

This home may not be a good match for guests who are:

- Looking for a resort-style experience with instant, on-site support.

- Looking for walkable restaurants, nightlife, or shopping nearby

- Uncomfortable with country roads or rural surroundings or wildlife animals

- Prefer a highly urban, polished, or luxury environment



Guest Access:

Guests have access to the entire home. Only the garage and the master bedroom closet are locked and off-limits.



The Neighborhood:

The home is on a dirt road with a charming desert vibe! It's about 35 minutes from North Scottsdale’s restaurants & shops. The location is special as it's surrounded by nature, endless hikes on beautiful trails, and provides lots of privacy! It’s a wonderful opportunity to disconnect, enjoy tranquility, and be away from it all.



Getting Around:

The home is 37 miles | 60 km (about a 40-min drive) from the Phoenix Airport (PHX) and 18.6 miles | 30 km (about a 30-min drive) from the Scottsdale Airport (SCF). Check your mobile map apps when you arrive, as driving times vary based on the time of day. You’ll need a car to get around, as Uber and Lyft ride services are difficult to get from the property.



Interaction with Guests:

The home uses a Smart Lock keyless entry where you can check yourself in using the electronic door code.

You’ll have complete privacy during your stay, but we’re available 7 days a week. Should you need anything, just send us a message.
