Elegant Eclectic Chic Hiker's North Central Guest Home Urban Food Tree Arboretum

Newly Renovated Guest House with Wow Factor High End Design Details: Rock Wall, Victorian Bath, Exquisite Bathroom Fixtures, Interior Barn door. Unpresuming on the outside, plenty of design surprises on the inside. Close to the preferred moderate hiking trail in north central phoenix. Property has 50 young food plants and trees: all should be food bearing in 3 years. This year we have figs, grapes and grapefruits from mature plants. In the future we will have limes, lemons, peaches, nectarines, apples, dates, bananas, mangoes, tangerines, kumquats, limequats, asian pears and many more. Children's garden has 4 tangerines and 1 apple tree. The rock wall will be an impressive back drop for travelers doing video conferencing meetings or webinars. Comfortable desk chair, desk, WiFi and printer complete the office.
Colorful bright blue kitchen has plentiful appliances including drip, pods, and pour-over coffee. We also have a food processor, blender, juicer, and toaster. We think our bathrooms are over-the-top gorgeous, not to be expected in this small house. The victorian bathroom and the rustic bathroom are both instagram worthy. This is a great quiet place to teach kids about tree farming. Also a great retreat for writers and business travelers. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood, with timely access to shopping, downtown, airport, and sports venues. A real garden retreat in the heart of the city. Hikers and dogs can be seen in the morning and evening accessing trails that are easy walking distance from the house. Lots of birds and rabbits are in the yard. Walking access is through a driveway and then across the yard behind the front house into Truly an interesting, quiet and unique property.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be within walking distance of North Mountain Park. Enjoy features like laundry facilities. The vacation home offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

Everything was great - except ----- some attention to the shower heads might be in order.Appears that many of the spray nozzles are blocked, or partially blocked, and spray goes in all directions including out of the shower enclosure.

Home away from home!

This guest house was a home away from home! Spacious, clean, and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable, full appliances were so nice with everything we needed. 2 of us could comfortably work from home. The house was spacious and accessible with a manual wheelchair. It was not an issue, but know the driveway is steep, with a little incline when parked at the top when transferring. We even enjoyed fresh grapes from the property.

Fantastic !

Was a wonderful vacation for us - view of the mountains out the kitchen window - quiet and private - fresh grapefruit from the tree every morning - just a joy to be there. Nice open floor plan and two roomy bedrooms. Just a short drive to the mountain hiking area, to the grocery store and other ethnic stores. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

Absolutely Fabulous

Wonderful property in great location for access to hiking and restaurants. Excellent accommodations, well appointed kitchen and wonderful beds. Communication with Jennifer was excellent and she was very accommodating. One the very best VRBO properties we have ever stayed at! The laundry room was a real bonus. Thank you Jennifer; we hope to return in the future.
