The "Saguaro Canyon" retreat was completely reimagined and renovated in 2023 and is nestled in a peaceful, lush 1.5-acre canyon in Paradise Valley, Arizona, an exclusive enclave in the middle of Phoenix|Scottsdale, yet just minutes from 6 golf courses, and 3 hiking trails. If you plan to visit for restoration and relaxation, this is the ideal spot to restore and recharge; if, however, your plans for the house involve party decorations, balloon arches, drinking games, or 3 a.m. pool parties, this is definitely not the place for you.



As you drive into your own private resort, you'll be greeted by a stunning specimen of the Saguaro cactus, or the "Queen of the Desert." This beauty proudly displays 6 arms (home to numerous families of cactus wrens) and is easily more than 100 years old. If you look up into the mountains in all directions, you'll notice the presence of hundreds more of these desert beauties. As you move through the double doors into the private front courtyard, you'll notice subtle Japanese design queues in both the lush landscaping and architectural details. Professionally decorated with cool tones and Scandinavian simplicity, each rooms boasts views of the surrounding desert scenery and plants. The main floor features a gym/lounge/office complete with dedicated workspace, home gym with Peloton® (with regular gym shoes adaptor so no need to wear riding shoes), free weights, straps, kettle balls and yoga mats, and a lounge area with board games; a massive dining table with seating for 10; a full kitchen with gas range, breakfast table and attached full laundry room; a living room with bar and stone fireplace; a double-Queen bedroom with private walled outdoor living room and outdoor shower and en-suite bathroom with shower; and 2 King bedrooms each of which share a full bathroom with tub/shower combination. The second-floor master bedroom features a private view terrace, King bed, walk-in closets and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower. The professionally landscaped grounds feature a shaded outdoor living room with views of the pool, canyon and city lights; a dining table with seating for 8 and an outdoor kitchen with gas grill, cooktop and refrigerator. Perched above the wash with a young Saguaro overhead, the heated pool (available for an extra fee of $95/night) boasts plenty of lounge seating and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The grounds also feature a real grass play area (and corn hole), and a wide array of plantings that showcase the range of color, beauty and adaptation of native Sonoran plants. And should you wish to leave the confines of the retreat, there are countless eateries, cocktail bars and entertainment just a few minutes' drive away in the Biltmore and Arcadia areas, or in Scottsdale.



Pool heating is available for an additional $95/night, which will give you a guaranteed 87 degree water temperature - even on the coldest days! Since we have a high-output gas heater, we can heat the pool 24/7 whereas electric heat-pump water heaters in most other houses do not operate at night when the air temperatures drop below 40 (and therefore often won't even get the water over 80 degrees on the coolest days, which is far too chilly for swimming). Pool heat needs to be elected for the entirety of stay. No partial heat days are accepted. Pool heat must be requested at least 48 hours prior to checkin. We also offer professional chef, as well as on-site massage and private yoga instructor services through several preferred partners. Chef Ricky Glass is professionally trained and can do everything from a curated meal for two prepared on site, to meal delivery. Sebastian, our masseuse, is expert at deep tissue massage and restorative treatments and can set up inside, or outdoors. And Shawnee can guide you through a restorative yoga class anywhere on the grounds. If you're interested in any of their services, please let us know at time of booking and we will provide you with contact details so you may arrange with them directly.

Guest Access:

You will have the entire home, pool, and grounds to yourselves.



The Neighborhood:

Nestled in the south-facing foothills of the Phoenix Mountains, and north west of Camelback Mountain, the home is located in the desert oasis of Paradise Valley, Arizona. Situated between Phoenix and Scottsdale and with easy access to amazing eateries, shopping and hiking, Paradise Valley is just a 5-minute drive from the Biltmore, and North Scottsdale; 10-minute drive from Arcadia and Old Town Scottsdale, and a 15-minute drive to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX) and Downtown Phoenix. The neighborhood is very exclusive and very peaceful, so if an Old Town party scene is more your speed, this is not the right place for you.



Getting Around:

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX) is a 15-minute drive. While you will need a vehicle to access nearby shopping/restaurants/amenities, ride shares are plentiful if you prefer to not rent a vehicle at the airport. Should you drive, there is ample parking for 4 vehicles in the driveway (no parking permitted on the streets in front of the house as this a private access driveway for the neighborhood in the hills above the canyon).



Other Things to Note:

POOL USE/SAFETY

For those with mobility/balance issues, please note that the pool has no stair railings, so please use extreme caution when entering/exiting the water.



NOISE/DISTURBANCE

While we want our guests to enjoy all of the outdoor amenities in the home, since the neighborhood is tranquil and upscale, excessive outdoor noise of any kind, at any time of day, will not be tolerated. Parties are not permitted.



** Commercial use of the property, including video production, is not permitted **
