》Located on a dirt road. Expect a little bit of dust.
》Food delivery is sparse; just a few places deliver on UberEats.
》You'll need a car to get around. Uber and Lyft are difficult here.

✨ Is This Home Right for You?
This home is a great fit if you’re:
- A couple or solo traveler craving peace, privacy, and a slower pace
- Someone who loves nature, wildlife, sunsets, and star-filled skies
- Happy unwinding outdoors — deck lounging, and cowboy-tub stargazing
- Comfortable with a remote desert setting and planning ahead for groceries
- Enjoys an active, outdoor lifestyle—hiking, desert walks, biking, or running in wide-open spaces.
This home may not be the best fit if you’re:
- Looking for walkable restaurants, nightlife, or shopping nearby
- Uncomfortable with dirt roads, dust, or desert wildlife
- Sensitive to the idea of sharing a property (the casita and main home are separate but on the same land)
- Looking for a place to host gatherings, parties, or events
- Uncomfortable with country roads or rural surroundings or wildlife animals
Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire casita and private yard areas. The driveway is shared with the main home on the property, but you’ll have a space for one vehicle.
The Neighborhood:
Located in northern Scottsdale on a dirt road with a charming desert vibe! You’ll be about a 35 minute drive to North Scottsdale shops and restaurants, shops, but this location is special in that you’ll find endless hikes on beautiful trails, surrounded by nature and clear stargazing at night! It's a wonderful opportunity to disconnect and get away from it all!
Getting Around:
The home is 37 miles | 60 km (about a 40-min drive) from the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and 18.6 miles | 30 km (about a 30-min drive) from the Scottsdale Airport (SCF). You’ll need a car to get around, as Uber and Lyft ride services are difficult to get to/from the property.
Interaction with Guests:
The home uses a Smart Lock keyless entry where you can check yourself in using the electronic door code.
You’ll have complete privacy during your stay, but we’re available 7 days a week. Should you need anything, just send us a message.
Rio Verde Foothills, a neighborhood in Scottsdale, is home to this vacation home. TPC Scottsdale Champions Course and Tonto Verde Golf Club are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore McDowell Sonoran Preserve and McDowell Mountain Regional Park. George "Doc" Cavalliere Park and Arizona Powerchutes are also worth visiting. Motor boating and fishing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and horse riding nearby.
