You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family Friendly Desert Mountain Oasis

Have fun with the whole family at this stylish place located in the mountains. Experience the desert with no rear neighbors and spectacular mountain views while soaking in the pool by day and under the stars on those colder desert evenings. Explore the local hiking, cuisine and parks, something for the whole family to enjoy!

The home sleeps 9 people in beds and one more if choosing the couch. There is also a pack 'n' play for the little one. If you are using this as a work and play space the desk is located in the family room so you aren't missing out on all the fun. Just above the desk is the tablet that controls the heated pool and spa for your stay. There is a water gallon system located in the kitchen. You can choose to pick up the jugs of water if you would like to use it. Water is also located in the refrigerator. The firepit in the backyard requires propane. If you choose to use it you can bring the tank to the local Ace Hardware about 5 minutes away and they can swap it out or fill it for you.

Not everyone wants or needs to heat the pool. Some like a polar plunge! Even with our warm temperatures sometimes you still want that extra warmth in the desert. Please watch your children around the pool at all times. should you want to heat the pool during your stay there will be an additional cost per day. It will be $45 daily for April - October Bookings, and $65 per day for November - March.

The keypad is on the front door. Open unlocked security door to access keypad. Do not lock security door at checkout. There is also garage access. The remote is on the kitchen island. Please leave it there at checkout for the next guest. You will receive your access code via your app or email with a confirmed reservation.

As a host I am available as needed please feel free to message for immediate access or call in an emergency.

Any loud noises or disturbances reported after 8pm will incur a $1,000 fine.

Walking paths and park nearby, there are sidewalks. It is a quiet neighborhood. The HOA does ride around so no cars parked in the street overnight. This is NOT a RV friendly neighborhood, there is local parking for the RV at a storage yard nearby.

Most activities out of the community you will need a vehicle to travel to. I recommend renting a car or possibly taking a ride share for transit to nearby events.

The pool can be operated via tablet on the wall near the back door above the desk. Please leave it plugged in at all times and in its place on the wall. Spa max is 102. The spa will take about 2-3 hours to get to temperature. The pool will take about 24 hours to reach temperature. When the spa is not in use. Please leave pool heated overnight if you are planning on using it for the whole stay. This will help with costs and efficiency. If you have questions please reach out.
Leave beds un-made and place towels in washing machine with door open. All clean towels can be found in each bedroom for guests.

House must be broom swept and all perishable items tossed in the outdoor garbage pails. Pickup is Thursday early morning. Please have out at street Wednesday evening. If you stay during a trash day please place pails at the street and bring in after pickup.

Needs A Few Updates
House was nice, clean but is in desperate need of a few updates. Cookware sets definitely needs replaced as does the knife set. Would be nice if a mixer was offered. The A/C kept resetting to 85 degrees. The pool is nice but the fact that you cannot take out the cleaning hose makes it so you can’t really enjoy the pool because you are constantly having to move it. Also the pool is not lit so a night swim is hard. Overall the house served the purpose but we will not be rebooking.

Family Friendly AZ Retreat
Pictures don’t do this property justice. Beautiful spacious family friendly property, backing up to washout area with a view and the feeling of a private resort. Just heat up the pool and hot tub early so you can enjoy it. Nicely equipped home, perfect for the whole family.

We had a wonderful stay at this large house that had plenty of room for 3 couples. The house is very comfortable with a huge couch in the living room. Everything we could need was available with a well stocked kitchen. Would have been nice to have real glasses rather than plastic however we understand that wouldn’t be a good idea with a pool and hot tub. The outside area had lots of comfortable seating and a large dining table. The backyard overlooks a beautiful desert scape. Unfortunately there was a problem with the heater in the pool so we couldn’t use it but they were quick to credit us and they sent a pool tech as soon as they could. Communication was excellent and any questions we had were quickly answered. This property is a bit remote but adds to the charm. We would definitely recommend a stay here!

Had a wonderful stay at this property. We were able to visit Saguaro East National Park, Tombstone, Bisbee, and the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. The location was great, the property clean, and the heated pool and spa were fantastic.

Peaceful home/pool Quite neighborhood
We stayed here with an 8yr old. He loved the pool and bunk beds there is a TV in the room so he could watch his own shows. The adults loved the peaceful yard, fire pit, and spa I would stay here again.
