Luxurious Private Getaway in Scottsdale's Carefree Hills!

Welcome to Your Private Desert Oasis in North Scottsdale

Escape to our upscale, private Adobe-style residence nestled among million-dollar homes in the breathtaking North Scottsdale area. Adjacent to the Tonto National Forest and just south of Desert Mountain, our recently renovated and newly furnished home offers an authentic southwestern experience.

Luxurious Living Spaces

Step into the spacious living and family rooms, both featuring high ceilings, elegant marble floors, and cozy fireplaces. Whether you're unwinding with a book in the study or enjoying a movie night, every corner of our home is designed for comfort and relaxation.

Gourmet Kitchen and Outdoor Dining

Channel your inner chef in our fully equipped kitchen, complete with granite countertops, a central island, and stainless steel appliances. For those who love outdoor cooking, our patio features a grill and a charming outdoor fireplace, perfect for evening gatherings.

Private Pool and Stunning Views

Take a dip in your private, large salt-water heated pool, featuring a stunning natural stone waterfall. Bask in the sun on a chaise lounge or enjoy the view from the rooftop observation terrace, offering panoramic sights of the East Valley and surrounding mountains.

Elegant Bedrooms and Bathrooms

Our main bedroom is a retreat in itself, boasting a king bed, hardwood floors, two walk-in closets, and a private entrance from the patio. The en-suite bathroom includes a luxurious Jacuzzi tub. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms (one with two twin beds and one with a queen bed) each have private bathrooms and balcony access overlooking the patio and pool. The house comfortably sleeps 6 guests.

Endless Entertainment

Our property is designed for fun and relaxation. Enjoy a game of ping-pong, shoot some hoops with the basketball or water basketball hoop, or explore a variety of yard games. Inside, you'll find a collection of books, board games, cable, access to your streaming services and high-speed internet for your entertainment.

- The home is equipped with two exterior security cameras for your safety: one facing the driveway and the front, and one overlooking rear yard.
- If desired, pool heating requires an additional fee or deposit. Please refer to the rental agreement for specifics.

Perfect stay
This was our 4th stay at this wonderful home and can’t wait to go back. It’s in a beautiful, safe neighborhood with amazing views of the sunrise, sunset and the brilliant stars at night. We cancelled excursions just to relax by the pool and enjoy watching the wildlife pass thru the yard. We loved every moment of our time there.

Tons of space
We had a great time staying here! The wildlife on the property was impressive! So many bunnies and quail. The house was very clean and well stocked with basic supplies. The house felt every bit of 4000sqft. Our kids slept in the 2 bedrooms upstairs and they had their own loft/sitting area upstairs as well! We stayed here in June and loved watching our car thermostat go from 105 down to the upper 90s as we drove from the main part of Scottsdale up to this home. The temp was never an issue. The neighborhood was quiet and just a beautiful area. The owner was quick to respond with any texts/questions we had!

Great spacious house in the Carefree hills
Excellent Location - quite and well situated. Great as a starting point for hiking in the area and also Scottsdale is within easy reach for best restaurants and shops. The house is within the carefree hills and wildlife can be enjoyed close to the location. We did not heat the pool as temps were high enough. Tim was easy to reach and very responsive to our questions.

Beautiful and Picturesque Carefree Home
This was the second time that my husband and I have stayed at this beautiful property. The home has everything that you could need. We had such a nice stay, and with the lovely warm weather, we enjoyed sitting outside on the lovely patio everyday. We will definitely plan a return visit in the future.

Pretty home with great amenities
The check in was flawless and I love the fact we could park in the garage. The property is lovely and very clean, all the extra kitchen spices and teas were nice to have. We played a couple games and battled on the pinpong table and used the outdoor grill. Unfortunately it was in the 40s/50s during our stay so we did not use the pool but it is setup very nicely and can imagine an amazing summer stay. We had a ladies day and went to the English tea rose for brunch and enjoyed it very much, it’s a small place I recommend making a reservation. We also went to the Buffalo chip to check out the bull riding, small ring and short shows but definitely a fun place for people who like to party. We had lunch at El Encanto, I wish we would have made a reservation for outdoor seating near the indoor pond with ducks, turtles and lush greenery. The food was average but the atmosphere was worth it-super photoesqe and live music. Also did some shopping at frontier town and the prices weren’t inflated to buy gifts for people back home. The only problems we had with the property was the lack of hot water in the master bedroom for showers. Also locks on a couple of doors leading to the backyard and roof area were hard to work, there are directions in the welcome book but I think some folks may have tried operating them without the instructions causing them to be difficult to operate but overall a wonderful stay and definitely recommend.

Wonderful Respite in the Desert
Five stars to this private, spacious and well appointed desert retreat. Plenty of room to spread out and a wonderful pool / patio area to decompress… it made for a amazing base camp for our various desert adventures. Tim was a responsive owner and made sure we were greeted upon our arrival by a concierge who provided a lay of the land. Highly recommended… we hope to be back soon!
