About this property

Beautiful Private Gold Canyon Home

Our home is located in a very quiet area of 32 nicer homes on large lots. While not a gated community, it has that look and feel as everything is very well maintained. Our home sits on 2/3 acre with a 6’ painted privacy wall in the back. The exterior of the home is adobe style and features desert landscaping with landscape lighting in back and out front. 4 large queen palms, an orange tree, a limequat tree and other palms, bouganvilla, large handgrown cactus highlight the back. We have a nice non-heated pool as well as a large 60 jet hot tub that is surrounded by sand set pavers and cool decking closer to the pool. From the south facing back patio you can enjoy stunning morning desert sunrises to the East and evening sunsets to the West and peekaboo Superstition Mountain View’s. Out front is a small privacy wall surrounding a sand set paver patio that is shaded by a mesquite tree with small views of the superstitions. A glass patio table and chairs as well as nice sunbrella cushioned loungers are here as well with a small gas fire pit for a quiet evening sipping wine, cocktails or beer!

The home itself is roughly 2300 sq ft and was built in 2013. Interior floors are primarily tile with wood floor upgrades in the two spare bedrooms and den. The master bedroom features brand new carpet in 2022. The interior of the home is decorated in a mix of Southwest and contemporary styles. A large oversized wood entry door greets you leading into a spacious open family room/dining/kitchen area. Comfortable leather sectional and a large 82” 4K television are featured here. A ceiling fan moves air nicely along with the dual zone AC units and there is plenty of ambient lighting. There is a den for relaxing in off the family room. The master bathroom has a large tile walk in shower and double on top sinks featuring new granite counter tops. The master bedroom has comfortable furnishings, a queen bed and a large 65” television. A large walk in closet is also located here. In the other wing of the home are two separate bedrooms featuring queen beds and nice furnishings. Refinished guest bath with new sink, granite countertop and fixtures. All in all a very comfortable livable home for short or long stays. A three car garage houses two of our cars and a golf cart that are not for renter use. Parking for two cars is available outside the home. Street parking is not encouraged. A laundry room features new upright washer and dryer. This is a non-smoking home that is fully furnished without a need for anything except your personal belongings. No pets. We ask that you kindly replace anything you use during your stay from the pantry or liquor cabinet. Thanks for taking a look and as always if you have any questions dont heaitate to ask!

Stay in January 2025

Pro: location good, property was quiet, large space for the 4 adultsCons: hot tub was not working during our entire stay. Owner was notified and maintenance was not able to come out till the end of our 14 day stay. Owner was less then helpful and found to be unaccommodating. Couch was uncomfortable. Would I recommend this property: not for the price if the amenities are not fully functioning.

Family visit

Home is Beautiful! And very comfortable. We were four adults! Wish a grocery store was closer as we did not have a car rental but we used Uber and had no issues. We are water drinkers and needed to load up a few times. The pool was too cold to enjoy but a beautiful private backyard was enjoyed!

Great Spring Break Desert Getaway!

Beautiful and very comfortable home. Our small family of 3 (2+10 year old) found this home to be a great base for an active week of hiking, biking and exploring. Great location and everything we needed we found. Grill, hot tub and lounging chairs for soaking up the sun! Thank you for sharing your oasis with us!

It was a perfect size for our family to host Thanksgiving dinner. The kitchen and was well equipped and the counter was large with plenty of chairs. Of course, the pool was too cold to use but we sat around the lovely patio area.

Oasis.

We stayed here for spring break. The home is beautiful and private. Felt like we had our own little resort with the pool and the private back yard. The pool was immaculate, but a little chilly. In talking with the pool cleaner we found out that this is typical for the area. Very few pools are heated. The home is located in a very quiet, safe neighborhood so my wife was comfortable walking in the mornings. Truly a relaxing vacation. Owner was great to work with. One of the best vacations I've ever taken. We will definitely be back, and I would highly recommend the property for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway. Thanks Don and Judy for sharing your home!

Fantastic home in a great location!

This was our first 2 month winter stay in Arizona and we couldn’t have picked a better place. Don and Judy’s house was comfortable, well equipped and in a lovely quiet neighborhood. We loved the house’s proximity to the mountains and golf courses. It was a great place to hunker down in during the pandemic! We will definitely return!! Thanks Don and Judy!

This house was immaculate in every way. Had all necessary household supplies and was clean throughout. The interior design is appealing to the eye and the inside of the house is huge. Love the master bath and the pool was incredibly refreshing and clean. I will be booking again next year!

Home away from Home

A home away from home. Stocked with what we needed and grocery close by. Rooms were spacey - with the tall ceilings - liked the dining room, kitchen, and family room all connected with a side den. Nice poolside patio and quiet neighborhood. Accent lights at night in both the spacious back and front yards. (and some inside). Very nice neighbors next door that checked to make sure everything was OK. A nice well furnished clean home - would definitely recommend staying here.

Beautiful property.

This beautiful 3 bedroom home is located in an extremely quiet area of Gold Canyon. The three beds are really only big enough for 1 person. The pool was nice and clean but too cool for use at this time of year. Overall a great place especially when the weather is perfect as it was for us.

Beautiful Gold Canyon Home

Don and Judy’s home was beyond our expectations - beautiful inside and out. We spent as much time as possible in the backyard and enjoying the warm sun by the pool. The property is very close to the activities we enjoy (golf, hiking, exploring). It was a pleasure working with Don. He was always very quick to respond to our questions and requests. Don and Judy...thank you!

Beautiful home, great neighbourhood. Great experience!!

It was our first experience with a VRBO and it guaranteed it will not be our last. Don was extremely helpful making sure our stay went perfectly. The property was not only beautiful it was easy to feel at home there. Everything you could need was available from laundry, to wifi and a coffee pot, really too much to list. This home will be the top of the list for our next stay in the Gold Canyon Area.

My family and I were very happy with this house!

The house itself is of the highest quality and also, in a very nice neighborhood. It was close to a good restaurant and Walgreen’s was conveniently close by. There was very little traffic on the street and there were golf courses and hiking trails close by. It also has convenient access to 60 Hiway. It’s also great that the backyard was a very nice size with a beautiful pool and lounging area with a TV for viewing your favorite sports and programs. The house was comfortable and we especially liked the fact that the master bedroom was on the opposite side of the house of the other two bedrooms. We had a 9 month old baby with us and did have to provide our own crib/playpen. But, that wasn’t an issue for us. Really, the only thing we would have preferred is that the master bed was king sized rather than queen. Again... not that important. We had the opportunity to meet the homeowners. They were very welcoming and friendly. They were also committed to making our stay as nice as possible. It is definitely going to be our first choice next time we head back to beautiful Gold Canyon to visit our parents! We made a great choice! In a word... CLASSY😊

About the host

Hosted by Don Fenton

Host profile image
Don and Judy Fenton and we are from the Pacific Northwest. I am semi retired and Judy is a dental hygienist. We both grew up primarily in the Pacific Northwest but found that we had a love for the desert based on many trips to Palm Springs and other desert communities over the past handful of years.

Why they chose this property

We simply fell in love with the Superstition Mountain vistas. We spent two weeks in March of '16 based in Scottsdale and traveled near and far looking at all of the communities the greater Phoenix and Tucson areas had to offer. One of our last areas of discovery was Gold Canyon and when we came out one evening and saw the sunset against the Superstitions we were hooked. It did not hurt also that we are pretty avid golfers and "sunshine people". When we toured this home it quickly became the one for us that we compared others we had seen against.

What makes this property unique

We like the fact that we are so happy just hanging at home. There are tons of things to do nearby but we love our backyard/patio area and the privacy it provides. We think you will find the same qualities to be true for you if you decide to visit the area and stay in our vacation/rental home.
