Our stay in this home was fantastic. It was clean and tastefully decorated. It had everything we needed in a VRBO and then some. The pool was great and the neighborhood was nice and quiet; it felt secluded. The pool table kept us entertained on a rainy afternoon. We love Cave Creek and would love to come back again. The host was gracious and helpful as well. Thanks for a Wonderful stay!

The home was amazing! Very clean and stocked with almost everything we would need!!! Pool and hot tub were in wonderful condition and the home was very spacious. You did have neighbors but they were never a disturbance at all - our favorite part was the privacy and seclusion we had.

The door system to get out of the place isn’t much fun. 2 locks and when relaxing and paying what we did I wasn’t happy to have someone come mid day on Saturday to take out trash and bring in. Felt like someone was always watching. Nice shower, bed not comfortable

We wanted a weekend getaway in town. This was the perfect place! Our kids loved the pool and the adults loved the hot tub! The owner took care to answer all questions, highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at this house. It was close to shopping, hiking and great restaurants. The house was well stocked with linens and kitchen items. The pool deck and pool were perfect to enjoy a hot afternoon and the hot tub was a great way to relax at the end of the day. The owner was responsive to our messages. Check in and check out were a breeze.

We really enjoyed our 5 nights at this Cave Creek home! It is in a quiet location, and while there are houses around, the nice sized property in the back made for a feeling of being away from it all. We saw a coyote and lots of birds, especially quails, in the back yard which was fun! We looked for a home that we could retreat in during this crazy COVID time and with Arizona being a hot spot, we were happy to cook our own meals and enjoy resting, playing many games of pool, jumping in the refreshing pool and even the hot tub to star gaze at night. The kitchen was great and well stocked with most everything we needed. We shopped at nearby Safeway and cooked most meals at home but did venture into Cave Creek to have a dinner out one evening. The king size Sleep Number bed was wonderful and certainly one of the enticing parts about this home when we were looking for a place to getaway! Not to mention the huge shower with double shower heads and the terrycloth robes! A little bit of luxury! One of the surprises that was not in the listing was the requirement to keep the thermostat no lower than 74 degrees or pay an extra daily fee. For us, that was too warm to sleep comfortably at night and if we had known, we would have chosen another home in the area as the extra cost was just too much. The only other thing was the toilet in the main bathroom rocked quite a bit, apparently off its seal, so we avoided that bathroom. I did let the owner know, so hopefully that will be repaired quickly. I hesitated to even mention the negatives as they may not matter to most and we truly did enjoy our time in this home, but I would have liked to have known prior to booking. All in all, the home really was a nice place to relax and renew before heading back into the real world!

Loved our get away! Thank you

This property was located in a quiet, beautiful setting among large lots, yet it was convenient to shopping and amenities on Lone Mt.Rd. and Scottsdale Road. The little towns of Cave Creek and Carefree were also close. The house was well equipped and the pool and hot tub were sparkling clean and a fun time. Sarah was easy and friendly to communicate with, and we would reserve this house again someday,

This is a very special house and has so many areas to relax in and to have time with each member of our family. Our "kids" are now in their 40's and live in different parts, so it was so nice to be able to re=connect. House is nicely laid out, so that when we wanted privacy, we had it and when we wanted to all be together we had that as well. Lovely clear, clean pool and hot tub, well worth paying the extra fee for it to be heated. House was immaculate, lots of towels, extra pillows, even soap and shampoo in the bathrooms! Owner was super lovely to deal with. We are originally from Phoenix, and love that hse embraces the laid back culture that is the southwest. You are close enough to shopping and restaurants of all kind in Cave Creek, Carefree and north Scottsdale, 45 minutes from the airport and yet the house is landscaped that makes you feel like you have a little piece of the desert all to yourself. Thanks you so much for a lovely, lovely stay! We will be back!

Everything we were wanting and more. We would definitely stay here again.

House had great space and was in a good location for all the golf and hiking we wanted to do. The property owners, Sarah and Brian, were extremely nice and helpful. The heated pool was great and not too expensive to heat in the winter months. Loved the back patio!

Really pleased with our stay and the amenities provided. A terrific location where you felt away from the city, but still close to places you want to go. Beds were comfortable. I would stay here again!

Our group of seven adults enjoyed this quiet and secluded home during our stay in Cave Creek. The well-maintained landscaping and southwest furnishings make for a great desert experience. Comfortable beds and plenty of lounge seating.

The location for north Scottsdale is perfect. Place was spotless and we enjoyed the option of heating the pool and hot tub. Kids were thrilled!!

Great stay! Property manager was very responsive. Enjoyed the pool area.

Enjoyed staying at the Desert Gem with our family. We loved playing pool and ping pong and the hot tub was super relaxing after a day of hiking. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit the valley!

Place was great plenty of room

The house is well stocked with everything you could want or need and more. It's in a great location and was just a quick ride to everything you could ask for. The desert feel outdoors was great and the pool and hot tub were perfect. We spent many hours out there enjoying them. The pool table was a nice bonus too! Thanks for a great weekend getaway. We had a great time here!

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The home was in a good location for us and Sarah was great with communications. We were a bit disappointed with the additional charge for heating the pool and opted not to do that considering how much was paid for the week to begin with. The master bedroom/bath was beautiful and the house well kept. Thank you for letting us stay in your home!

Peaceful backyard overlooking cactus filled greenspace between homes. Very comfortable living quarters with all the amenities needed for an enjoyable vacation. The pool and hot tub provided a relaxing oasis. Beautiful sunset experiences were plentiful from the backyard and neighborhood streets . Great location near Cave Creek convenient to enjoy numerous hiking trails within a short drive including Brown's Ranch, Spur Cross Conservation area, Phoenix Sonoran Preserve, Pleasant Lake Regional Park , Cave Creek Regional Park (Go John trail) Many good diverse dining options close by in Cave Creek and Summit Plaza

Came to Scottsdale for a wedding and stayed here. The house was absolutely perfect and far exceeded all of our expectations. There were 8 of us and we all slept comfortably. Perfect location. The guys loved the pool, hot tub and pool/ping pong table. Sarah was so wonderful, great to work with and very accommodating to our group. We're still dreaming of this trip cannot wait to plan another visit back here!

We had such a great time staying here. The pool was great and we enjoyed the pool table at night! The house is big enough that we all had plenty of room and the neighborhood is so quiet. Will definitely stay at this property again!
