Great communication!

We were very happy with the proximity of this rental related to the various daily excursions we made. The unit was fully stocked with everything we needed. Although in a neighborhood, it felt very private between fencing and plantings. The pool was well-maintained and a pleasure. The owner was in constant contact to ensure our satisfaction, and even made some adjustments for us remotely. Highly recommended!

lovely, well-appointed home

This was the second time we've stayed in this home and hope to return on a future visit. The home is lovely, with a well-equipped kitchen (better than my own) and the owner has clearly thought about making guests comfortable.The yard is beautiful and private (great for sunset watching). The owner is quick to respond to questions and issues, and very easy to deal with.

Beautiful Property!

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The main living area has a great view of the gorgeous patio and pool. It was very peaceful in the evenings to sit out by the pool and star gaze. The kitchen has everything you could need and the entire house is well stocked and very comfortable. Kirk was very responsive to any questions we had. We love the north Scottsdale area and its proximity to great golf courses, as well as great restaurants - Jalapeno Inferno and Nick's Italian are 2 of our favorites. Wonderful stay!

I wish we could come back

This is a spectacular vacation home! The location in Scottsdale is perfect for hiking, golf, pickleball, shopping and any other activity you might enjoy. The gourmet kitchen is wonderfully appointed, the master suite is gorgeous, and the grounds, especially the pool cannot be beat. The host, Kirk, is very responsive to any needs that may occur. The only problem is that we are unable to return next year.

About the host

Hosted by Kirk Pischel

Host profile image
While having lived most of my life in California (Go bears!), I spent several years as a child on a working cattle ranch in Oregon. I'm a CPA/financial analyst by trade, virtual CFO, forensics expert, still working on a remote consultancy basis. After the kids got out on their own I've rekindled an interest in photography (as you'll see images scattered about), nature and the ancient peoples of the Southwest.

Why they chose this property

First and foremost this is a home. The main living area is bright and open with a wall of windows opening to the inviting patio and pool. The kitchen and its substantial granite countertops as well as custom dining table for eight are built for entertaining. The backyard with its beautiful landscaping draws one outside for dining, swimming, lounging or just enjoying the sights and sounds of the desert.

What makes this property unique

The property is close enough to downtown Scottsdale/Phoenix to be able to take advantage of what they have to offer. Yet, far enough north so as to be able to enjoy the open space and access to Carefree and Cave Creek to the north. Local activities include cycling, horseback riding (5 minutes south), hiking, golf, shopping and dining.
