Peace and quiet but close to stuff!
We had four adults, a teenager, and a tweener stay in complete comfort! The WiFi was good for the teens, there was cable tv in each room, and the kitchen/dining area was comfortable for us adults to make meals and chat! The property is secluded and the interior is full of country elegance and charm. Neighbors waved as we navigated quiet roads but we were only 10 minutes from grocery shopping and 15 min from West World. I particularly enjoyed sitting on the covered deck and watching the quail scurry by and listening to the doves coo. Communication with the property management was prompt which was greatly appreciated. If we come back to Scottsdale, this will be the place we stay!

Cozy Farmhouse in the desert
This cozy farmhouse was very clean with comfortable beds, plenty of towels and easy dish service on the tv. The only thing that was needed was the mirror in the master bedroom was broken and has not been repaired in the three years since we had been there before. Also the windows and blinds need to be washed and replaced. Also the property needs to be cleaned up.

Quiet and cozy
The property was perfect for our needs. It was quiet, cozy comfy and clean. We had our 2 little pooches with us so we had to be diligent when taking them outside as the property is not fenced in and coyotes are active and plentiful but that’s normal. The heater didn’t work at first but Darcy and Feather got it repaired immediately and we had no other problems. House was equipped with everything we could’ve needed. Stores and restaurants and gas and every other convenience was located within minutes of the house. will definitely stay again. Definite thumbs up.

Hide in Plain Site
It is hard to believe you are in the middle of N. Scottsdale. The house sits in three acres of Sonoran desert. We have been visited by coyotes, javelina, bobcat an owl and other raptors. Very private but in the center of everything.

Great break away from everything
This was a really great stay in a unique property. It is out by itself down a dirt road with NO traffic and very peaceful, but has everything you need very close. The house has everything and is very comfortable. Perfect get away for some rest and good desert views.

More than we expected!!!
Exceeded our expectations in every way possible.
The location was its own oasis. The little farm house is decorated perfectly. And EVERYTHING you need is provided. The communication with the property manager was the best I have experienced at any rental. Darcy provided a perfect location for our family getaway.
And all of the animals in the yard wer pleasant surprises…. Hawks, bunnies, hummingbirds, roosters, javalenas…. It was so fun to explore!!!

All around OUTSTANDING!
This has to be the most peaceful place in Scottsdale. House was perfect for us. Kitchen was well stocked; couches and chairs in the living room were incredibly comfy. I had coffee on the back deck every morning with birds, bunnies and abundant quail. Darcy is an excellent host who responded to any questions I had within minutes. One of the best VRBO experiences we’ve ever had. Looking forward to returning to this wonderful home in the future.

Very comfortable and quiet.
Four adults (myself, spouse and husband's brother and his wife) enjoyed three nights. It was wonderfully comfortable and quiet. Very cozy. We'd stay again if we're in the area.
Both Darcy and Melinda (local property manager) were very responsive and helpful with a couple of questions we had (very minor items).

Lovely magical home
Darcy was great from before I reserved her place all the way to the end. Very helpful, always available, the home is really comfortable in a great neighborhood where you feel like it is must you. The property is beautiful. Home is comfortable and having darkness was such a treat. Easy to sleep without lights outside. I hung out with bunnies, quail families with many babies, and a coyote. There was a dove mom and dad sitting on eggs waiting to be hatched.
The back of the home has 2 comfortable recliners where I spent my mornings and evenings. The bed was comfortable and the home is very close to many restaurants, grocery stores and easy to get around from Darcy’s home i highly recommend staying here. I actually had appointments in Tempe, flew into Phoenix and chose to stay in North Scottsdale for the nature, beauty of the rocks, dark at night and the wildlife.

Cute Farm House
Perfect location for enjoying the desert. We don’t like being in neighborhoods, condos, resorts, etc. For us, it’s all about outside enjoyment. And the back deck allows for desert and wildlife viewing without the traffic and noise. It’s a nice farmhouse feel inside with comfortable leather furniture and beds/bedding. Communication with Darcy was easy and fast and she was very responsive to a couple of our needs. We would certainly rent here again.
Also, it’s very important to keep shoes on when outside. We had a couple cactus mishaps with the grands! Don’t let them play with the sand in the wash as it’s full of cactus burrs!
