Notes from the host
Adobe Villa
This Mediterranean-style villa is a hiker's paradise, with a private deep pool, outdoor fireplace, and built-in gas grill. Just 17 mins to DT Scottsdale, and less than 20 mins away from hiking at McDowell Sonoran Preserve and Camelback Mountains, it's the perfect getaway for your desert adventure. Explore nearby attractions via a 2-block walk to Kierland Golf Course trail. Ideal for groups and families, this resort has a fully stocked gourmet kitchen and an arcade game room for entertainment.
Enjoy this two-story, 3,380 Sq Ft Mediterranean-style villa in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by multiple desert preserves. This ultimate vacation destination for all-size groups has everything you need to entertain your guests house within a variety of indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. Serve a feast for a gathering or an intimate meal for two in our gourmet eat-in kitchen. Or enjoy some summer bites cooked on our built-in grill.
This Mediterranean-style getaway is also perfect for families: those with infants can travel lighter with our available pack and play crib and highchair, and there’s fun to be had for all ages in our game room with arcade games, ping pong, and foosball. Or peek in the dining room buffet for several board games to keep everyone entertained.
