Summary: Had the house for 16 days the hot tub only partially worked for the last two Also the water feature/waterfall didn't work the whole time we were there. Later the owners said that they don't run the waterfall in the winter. The heated pool and hot tub and waterfall were all deciding factors in renting this property. I paid extra for the heated pool. I would like some kind of compensation for not having a hot tub the whole time and when they did get it working only half of the jets worked. By the sign in book it hadn't worked for quite some time. The house and grounds are beautiful and the house is well stocked. It is a bit out of the way off the beaten track so allow for a lot of extra time in driving into the town area. I had a group of 8 women there so the pool and outdoor water features were very important to us.

Summary: Cactus Flats was by far our favorite place we have stayed in Scottsdale! It is gloriously off the beaten path, but still close to hiking and other activities we love. The neighborhood is quiet, the neighbors we saw on our walks were freindly (as were the many horses in the neigh-borhood!) The pictures and description of the listing were perfect, actually, I’d say it’s even better ! The highlight of the house is for sure the outside space. The pool is lovely, landscaping was meticulous, the upper deck on the house was perfect for sunsets and stargazing! The house is well-appointed, has a lot of nice touches throughout. The owners were very kind and communicative. We did not have any issues while we were there so we didn’t need to contact them after check in. Instructions are clear and easy to understand. Everything in the house worked well, but I am confident that if we had a question, the owners would be responsive. Super fun week. We were thrilled to be able to call this property “home” for a week. Looking forward to next year, hopefully we will be back!

Summary: Well stocked home, Jenn-Aire appliances, comfortable couches and beds, beautiful mountain and desert views, clean and attractive pool and deck! It's a bit remote, ~30 minutes to 101 but provides stunning night sky and quiet surroundings and birds chirping.

Summary: Being able to enjoy the stars and quiet beauty of the dessert. The great heated pool and juccuzi. Always enjoyed by kids and grandkids every day. We loved the help yourself policy. The first night we came in late and your not close to any retail .so looking in the cabinets and refrigerator for something to calm down. Hit the spot. Owner great always there to answer any questions.

Summary: This was my second stay in this gorgeous home!! Very clean and well decorated. Cozy patio with propane towers to keep us warm on those chilly nights! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Our grandchildren were comfortable in the provided playpen and highchair. Oh, and for upkeep on the home during the week, the vacuums and mop/buckets were so handy! And lastly, the hot tub and pool were so lovely, just a great beautiful vacation in this home! Thank you to the owners who were attentive and available!
