Spectacular panoramic Phoenix Valley views and desert mountain hiking /bicycling

This property is located on the mountain preserve border of South Mountain Park, the largest city park in the world. There are wonderful mountain bike trails right from the property, as well as some of the finest hiking in the Phoenix area. While being only a few minutes from Downtown Phoenix, it is very private and quiet, nestled in a scenic desert mountain bowl with coyote and javelina occasionally visiting the site.

There are multilevel decks facing both toward South Mountain and Downtown Phoenix, providing some of the best panoramic scenery in the Phoenix area. If you are looking for quiet time to catch up on reading, fantastic hiking right from the property, and scenic desert vistas, this is the vacation house for you. Although the road is rough, it is worth the drive

We have good news for those who have stayed with us in the past! wifi is still satellite only, but the speeds have increased tremendously and we have upgraded to the fastest option available.

Just to be perfectly transparent: In the summer months (June, July and August) the water runs warm as the distance it travels underground up the mountain is great. It takes a bit for it to cool down.
