Wonderful Property

We had a fantastic stay at the “Big Dog.” The house is very spacious with plenty of room for our four couples. We made good use of all of the amenities: pool, hot tub, ping pong, pool table, games, grill and tvs. Communication with the host was excellent. Highly recommend!

Great time - as advertised and more!

We had a wonderful time at this property. The communication before check-in, during our stay, and after was wonderful. House was very clean and well equipped. Beds were comfy and clean. Towels were plentiful and clean as well. We used the cornhole boards, pool noodles, shuffleboard, pool table. The pool seemed a little smaller than expected but we still enjoyed it multiple days. Everything from start to finish was great!

Stacy and Kurt were absolutely amazing! Their communication throughout the booking process, stay, and checkout exceeded my expectations. The residence was way nicer in person to say the least. The pictures just don’t do justice for how spacious it was. I can say for all 10 of us that celebrated my bachelor party at the big dog, we were extremely impressed and satisfied.

Golf weekend and 50th birthday celebration with old friends

Our stay at the big dog property was perfect. We were a group of 15 friends who have known each other for years. We came to Scottsdale from all over Canada and the US. The property was perfect for us. We were interested in a house that offered plenty of room, sporting activities, great lounging areas, a gourmet kitchen, and a pool. The Big Dog met all our expectations and more! Stacy and Kurt were excellent hosts. The level of communication with me was above my expectations. Check in and out was a breeze. All questions were answered within minutes. Unbelievably responsive! Our group was happy to stay close to home for most of the trip watching sports in the enormous TV in the huge games room or hanging out by the pool. We used the ping pong table, cornhole game, and the poker table. It was a paradise for a guys weekend! The property feels very private and the neighborhood was great. The location was very easy for us to get to golf and to get to old town for dinner and drinks on one night. If your group is a bunch of friends looking to have a comfortable weekend lounging in a guys paradise, this is the place! Couldn’t be more happy with our choice of house rental. Thanks again Stacy and Kurt!

Perfect Home

We gathered our adult children and grandchildren for a week at the Big Dog Home. It exceeded our expectations. The home was very clean and well appointed. It is a large home and we appreciated all of the separate spaces. The beds were comfortable, there were tv's in almost every space. The kitchen and laundry had high end appliances and the pool and outdoor space was beautiful. Plenty to do here, ping pong, billards, shuffleboard, board games, etc. Both the pool and hot tub were clean and warm (we paid for the pool heat as it was chilly on arrival) The neighborhood is quiet and the location is convenient to grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants. It is obvious that the owners care for this home and it shows in even the smallest details. The owner/host was very responsive to our questions and requests. We would definitely return to this beautiful oasis.

The Big Dog was exactly what we needed!

What a fantastic property! The place was beautiful, immaculate, and looked just like the photos (if not better). Several friends from around the country gathered here for a long, warm winter getaway/reunion and we loved every minute of our time there. The pool, hot tub, location, and all the on site games made The Big Dog a perfect choice for us. Stacey was super helpful and communicative throughout, making the entire process so easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

I booked this house for a guys golf and Spring Training weekend. We had 10 men staying there and the place was perfect for us. Everyone had their own bed, the place is full of fun things to do (shuffleboard, pool, ping pong, cornhole, etc), and the outdoor living area is incredible. The house has everything you’ll need. We cooked a big steak dinner one evening and they had all of the equipment; great grill, double oven, several refrigerators, wine fridge, etc. Stacy was awesome. She made it very easy to communicate and accommodated every request. I can’t say enough good stuff about the entire experience.

Exceptional Property and Service!

This is an awesome property run by an awesome owner! Stacey was easy to get a hold of and communicated exceptionally! My wife and I stayed here with my brother and his wife and our five kids. Everyone had their own bed and we all commented how comfortable our beds were, how nice the sheets were, and we all slept great! The amenities on the property are top-notch! We loved hanging out at the pool, playing basketball in the driveway, ping pong in the garage, shooting pool, playing shuffleboard and playing family games around the game table in the living room. Being from Minnesota, we also loved having the outside living areas to eat breakfast, lunch and dinners. One of the highlights was to be able to stream the Minnesota state high school hockey tournament to the outside TV while eating dinner in the outside living area. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to travel to the Scottsdale area. The Big Dog is a Blast!

Semi Annual Golf Trip

Eight of us stayed at The Big Dog for 5 days and it was pretty much perfect. Had the weather been a little warmer it would have been perfect. The property is spacious, beautiful and appointed very well. On arrival the water was already warm and everything was ready to go as advertised. Plenty of gaming equipment and amenities that we took advantage of throughout our stay. The quality of the furnishings and equipment is above average. The pool and back deck area is set up very nice for entertaining and hot tub was used plenty. Enjoyed the oranges right out of the tree in the backyard too. Our hosts Stacy and Kurt were great and very pleasant. They were always available to answer a question or offer whatever we needed. Our next trip back to Scottsdale will include another stay at The Big Dog! Kent

About the host

Hosted by Stacy & Kurt

Host profile image
My husband Kurt & I have made Scottsdale our home for over 13 years. We love the active lifestyle and all the area has to offer. This home is amazing and absolutely perfect for entertaining and large groups. We raised our children here and know the place inside and out. All home updates were made with guest enjoyment and needs as a priority! We live very close to the home and are able to offer help and local advice to ensure you have an excellent time in Scottsdale! The home is located on a quiet residential street in a private upscale neighborhood. We'd like for all of our guests to enjoy themselves while also being respectful of our home and neighbors. Therefore, this is NOT A PARTY HOUSE. If you're looking for or planning for a rowdy time then this home will not be a good fit.

Why they chose this property

The Big Dog is in the heart of Scottsdale and is in the PERFECT location. You'll be just a few minutes away from the best restaurants, world class shopping and golf, scenery, activities, events, grocery stores, casinos, hiking, biking, and nightlife.
