Our unique location allows guests to stay in the desert, surrounded by incredible natural beauty, unobstructed mountain and desert views and a quiet, peaceful retreat, yet have access to all that the Phoenix/Scottsdale area has to offer within a 30-60 minute drive.

    Nature enthusiasts will love the abundance of hiking trails surrounding the property, including the beautiful Granite Mountain Trail, 5 minutes from your doorstep.

    Please note, Four Peaks Retreat is "off the beaten path." The last 2 miles of the drive to the property are on rural, gravel roads. Although the roads are easily accessed with any type of vehicle, you will want to drive slowly the last 2 miles. Enjoy the spectacular scenery as you venture the last couple of miles to the home and once you arrive, you will be surrounded by peace, privacy and incredible views!

    Offering both adventure and relaxation, this desert mountain retreat is the perfect escape, promising a memorable vacation amidst the beauty of the Arizona landscape. This property is best suited for those who value nature, quiet, birdlife, and expansive scenery over proximity to town, dining, or nightlife. If your vacation goal is unplugging, enjoying stunning mountain sunsets, and immersing yourself in the beauty of the desert, you will love it here. This home is intentionally remote and perfect for guests seeking peace, privacy, and wide-open mountain and desert views.

Comfy home and amazing hosts!

The house is so comfortable and welcoming - we loved every minute of it! Angela was so quick to answer all my questions and went above and beyond to accomodate us. The location is picture perfect and the last few miles to the house on the unpaved road just added to the feel of getting away from it all!! Thanks again for the hospitality, Lou

Absolutely wonderful! Incredible views and plenty of space to ourselves. The last 4 miles are extremely hilly but well worth the drive if you aren’t coming back to the property several times per day. Inside the house has comfortable furniture and a great kitchen. Absolutely no complaints!
