Swimming in the backyard heated pool and gazing at two mountain ranges... fabulous! A very comfortable, livable home, nicely furnished and equipped, in a quiet neighborhood. Wonderful backyard with pool, fire ring, eating area and pool side furniture. Visiting grandchildren enjoyed the loft area with game tables. The master bedroom on the second floor with a large balcony overlooking the twinkling lights of the area at night was a lovely way to end the day. Grocery store, pharmacy, restaurants, etc., just a short drive away, as are many mt. hiking trails. A visit to the nearby Boyce Thompson Arboretum is a great excursion. We like the Gold Canyon area with it's location below the Superstition Mts. and its distance from the hustle and bustle of the city of Phoenix. John was a great host, just a text away. He responded quickly to any questions we had and certainly helped make this one of our best AZ stays ever!
