About this property

Big, Beautiful Home with Sweeping Views of Mtns & Golf Course ~ 3 Bed, 2.5 Bath

Accommodations: Enjoy this stunning, 2,800 sq. ft. desert oasis set within the beautiful golfing community of Rio Verde. Wake up to views of Four Peaks right outside your window as you watch golfers try to sink one in at the third hole just steps from the patio.

Huge vaulted ceilings allow for plenty of natural light that brightens up the entire house. The fully appointed kitchen makes cooking a breeze with ample counter space to put together a feast. Keep the conversation flowing with the open layout perfect for socializing with family and friends. Start your day in the quaint breakfast nook overlooking the 7th tee box, and finish your day cuddled up on the plush couches next to the wood-burning fireplace.

The large master bedroom has a door that walks out to the patio so you can watch the sunrise as soon as it starts peeking through the windows. The master bathroom has his and hers sinks with a spacious walk-in closet. Unwind with a shower or bath tub while looking up through the skylight overhead.

The two guest rooms include twin beds perfect for accommodating friends or family. Each room has a bathroom just steps away and large sweeping windows to soak in the warm Arizona sunshine. There is plenty of dresser and closet space for all of your packed essentials.

The den is equipped with a pullout couch and an inviting recliner for putting your feet up at the end of the day. If you need to get some work done on your visit, pull up a chair to the desk with plenty of space and easily accessible power sources while you enjoy secure WiFi internet.

The laundry room comes equipped with a washer/dryer and an ironing board. The garage has space for two cars.

Rio Verde is an age-restricted residential community (55+)

Amenities: If interested in playing public golf courses in the area, there are many great options nearby like Tonto Verde, Troon North Golf Club, Tegavah Golf Club and more.

The community center features a large, heated pool and hot tub, tennis and pickleball courts, a fully equipped fitness center, a library and pool table, fitness classes, art classes and more. If looking to hit the trails, McDowell Park has infinite opportunities for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking.

Activities: There are Protestant and Catholic masses held at the Community Church of the Verdes and services for all denominations can be found in nearby towns.

If you'd like to venture outside of Rio Verde for a meal, head down the road a few miles to the Mesquite Grill in Tonto Verde with a beautiful patio for dining al fresco. Other restaurant options are available in nearby Fountain Hills or Scottsdale, both a short drive away.

Never Disappoints!

We have stayed at this beautiful home many times and, as titled, it never disappoints! The home is set facing the mountains with a stunning view of the four peaks, is always spotless, fully stocked, and oh so very comfortable. The area offers mountain biking, hiking, golfing, and quiet neighborhoods to walk through. As always, we look forward to our return!

Lovely Home

House was clean, spacious and comfortable as described. Plenty of room for us. It has a large covered patio which faces east giving us good sun with our morning coffee and shade in the afternoon/evening for our cold beverages. Margaret was a gracious host, communicated well with us and easy to work with. Would rent this house again.

A Million Dollar view of the mountains!

This was our twelfth year staying at the property during the spring; I can't say enough about the amenities which it offers and the view looking east over the desert at the mountains. Some of the fixtures are dated, but the owners are easy to get along with.

More than five stars!

I’d like to start by saying, as soon as we walked in the door we all felt at home. Our son was moving from Florida to California and we decided Arizona was the best place to meet as he drove with his best friend across country and we flew. They’re all golfers and there’s plenty of golf in the Rio Verde area so that’s what they did and they all had a blast! When looking for a place to stay, I saw this listing and I knew it was for us! It sits on the 3rd hole of the Rio Verde Golf Course of the Country Club. Just beyond that are spectacular views of the mountains. Watching the sun rise over the mountains while drinking my coffee was the best way to begin my day. The home had everything we needed. It was important for us to have a garage since James had all his belongings in the car. The beds are comfortable so we all slept well. The water pressure is fantastic with tons of hot water. It was also great to have a washer and dryer there. The kitchen is fully stocked! When I spotted the juicer I went outside and picked some lemons off the tree and made some delicious lemonade! This is the recipe I used https://natashaskitchen.com/lemonade-recipe/. It was so good! We all said if we were ever in the area again, this is where we would stay! More than five stars!!!

My Best VRBO rental ever

My wife and I have done VRBO all over the world and I am pleased to say this was the Best Home I have ever rented. Why....First the place was better than the pictures, great view of the third hole at Rio Verdi, the house was spotlessly clean, plenty of room in the garage for our golf bags, the kitchen had all the utensils, pots, pans, dishes you would ever need. It really felt that we were guests in someone's home. Last of all the price was well worth the pleasures that we enjoyed at this wonderful golf vacation house. Ed Padilla

Simply amazing!

We cannot begin to express how amazing this property and our stay in Rio Verde was! By far one of the cleanest properties we have ever rented. The home is exactly as described... well furnished, stocked, and plenty of room for everyone. The view has got to be one of the best in Rio! The owners were a dream to work with.... quick to respond to any questions and highly organized. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet, and offers great walking and biking areas. Needless to say... we cannot wait to return!!

About the host

Hosted by Margarete Hileman

Host profile image
This home was originally built in 1993 by a loving couple from northern Minnesota. It served as their winter oasis for many years. The extended family has come down for the past 20 or so years and continues to enjoy every trip spent in Rio Verde. When we aren't using the home, we like to rent it out to visitors in hopes that they get as much enjoyment from it as we do.

Why they chose this property

The original homeowners had a knack for building beautiful homes and did their due diligence to ensure they were choosing a lasting spot. They fell in love with Rio Verde and everything else the area had to offer. This home has entertained many family get togethers over the years and serves as a beautiful retreat to enjoy sunny Arizona and friends and family.

What makes this property unique

For those unfamiliar with Rio Verde, there are four peaks that stick out very prominently when looking at the mountain range. Fittingly, these are called Four Peaks. Although it is hard not to get a great view of these majestic mountains, the view from our front porch is hands down the best in town. Whether it's the sunrise popping out from behind them in the morning or the colors cast upon them from the sunset in the evening, each look at Four Peaks from our property will leave you breathless.
