This property it very clean and is easy access to golf both at the Raven and Legacy golf club. We attended a lesson at Tour Striker golf academy located at the Raven. This place is highly accessible and close to great food options as well.
Thanks for making this such an easy stay!
Perfect for our family of 6. Beds are very comfortable, house is tastefully decorated, appliances and furniture top of the line and in great condition, quiet and safe community. Location was super convenient for us, not far from airport, enjoyed the trails nearby too. Owner was very responsive and accommodating. So happy we picked this house for our weekend in Phoenix!
Location was a perfect for where we needed to be. Easy check in process and host had great and quick communication. If we are in the area again we will stay here.
Awesome quiet gated community close to canal for walking and offers great pool and hot tub. The unit was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. King bed was comfortable. The patio was our favorite part! We grilled and enjoyed the peaceful private setting. Only suggestion for improvement would be new carpet vs the stained carpet and rugs.
This was a clean property that was better than depicted in the pictures. The 3 codes (gate, door, alarm) were kind of cumbersome but worth it. The back yard was small but very private considering the house was in town and close to other houses. We would stay again.

Exceptional house!
This house exceeded our expectations! Beautiful, clean, beautifully decorated in a gated community. Has a community pool and hot tub. Used the hot tub 1 day and was really nice. Has a lovely back patio area with a fountain. Plenty of space and had everything we needed to feel like home! The owner has thought of everything from providing pool towels to laundry detergent! Saadi answered all my questions quickly and was very helpful! Lovely stay!

All worked great.
Clean, well equipped house. We didn't need to contact owners for anything.
Only reason for 4-stars was temperature of subdivision whirlpool was set too low for use.
The house was very clean. Outside noise was not heard inside. The owners were very attentive and quickly responded to my messages. The only thing that I didn’t like is that there was glass everywhere. I have a 2 year old and I had to follow him around the house to make sure he didn’t break anything. It would work perfect for older kids but the little toddlers was a bit challenging. The patio was very nice too.

Well-decorated home
This home has nice features like the artwork and decor. The outside if very nice and includes a dining table and fountain. We stayed there with three children, and I am not certain this is the best home for children as the rugs require special cleaning, and some of the leather seats and stools are difficult for children to navigate. The description includes a reference to hiking trails nearby. If these are the South Mountain trails, I am not sure I would have walked to the trails. I also did not see trails on the mountain. The home is in a neighborhood that is gated. There are a lot of codes to navigate - a code for the community gate, then the house, then an alarm for the home. This was a lot - once I forgot an item and had to run back into the house. I was worried I would set off the alarm. An outside light must also be kept on at all times, and the light comes into one of the bedrooms.
Perfect place to stay when attending a wedding at The Secret Garden
Saadi was a great host and his home was wonderful—clean and thoroughly stocked with everything we needed. The only thing that needed attention was the fountain, but we didn’t spend time on the patio so it wasn’t a problem for us.
We had a very nice time visiting our daughter who goes to school near by in Tempe. The house was clean and very homey. We visited the hot tub after a long day of hiking. We had everything we needed to fix meals. It was a very nice experience. Thank you
My son and his family joined me for my Niece’s wedding. The home had plenty of room for all 6 of us. It was close to the airport as well as the wedding venue. We loved exploring the area, especially The Farm at South Mountain. I had a few questions about the location of a few things and Saadi was quick to respond.
This property was amazingly quiet and comfortable for our family of four. We never expected to have such a beautiful back patio with so many different types of birds when we were physically located in a large city, but this home felt secluded and we enjoyed sitting outside by the fountain whenever we were at home. The rooms were spacious and had comfortable mattresses, and it had an exceptionally well-outfitted kitchen. We were able to get everywhere we wanted to visit within 30 minutes as long as we avoided rush hours.
