Southern Mountain Garden Retreat

A tranquil retreat at the foot of The South Mountain Preserve with a view of one of Phoenix's best public golf courses ! We are in a very quiet, small gated community which has a well maintained Pool & Hot Tub to relax in. It's a 10 minute walk to hiking, biking & Horse riding trails at the preserve. Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport is only a 7 minute drive away yet you never hear a plane go by!
Shopping & Dining are only a few minutes away in any direction with some of the best Southwest restaurants awaiting you.
You are only a 15 minute drive to Scottsdale, Downtown Phoenix or Chandler. ASU is just a couple of miles away if you're visiting for the annual Spring training.
The house itself is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There are 3 bedrooms: The master has a King size bed & an ensuite bathroom & Cable T.V. There is a Queen size bed in another bedroom with a full bathroom nearby in the hallway to share with the third bedroom which has adult size bunk beds with the lower bunk being a larger double bed. A pack- n -play for your baby with the appropriate bedding is provided, bed linens, towels for the house & the pool, Shower essentials ( soap, shampoo & conditioner) & all paper products are also provided. The kitchen has all the utensils you will need for cooking & serving. There is a gas grill for you to barbecue in the back yard where you can listen to the sound of the fountain & watch native birds come for a drink.
The driveway can accommodate a large SUV & there is nearby street parking too.
We have decorated the house with objects of art & handmade rugs we love & hope you enjoy too. We always strive to make it the home you will always remember & where you made some great memories!

This property it very clean and is easy access to golf both at the Raven and Legacy golf club. We attended a lesson at Tour Striker golf academy located at the Raven. This place is highly accessible and close to great food options as well. Thanks for making this such an easy stay!

This was a clean property that was better than depicted in the pictures. The 3 codes (gate, door, alarm) were kind of cumbersome but worth it. The back yard was small but very private considering the house was in town and close to other houses. We would stay again.

This house exceeded our expectations! Beautiful, clean, beautifully decorated in a gated community. Has a community pool and hot tub. Used the hot tub 1 day and was really nice. Has a lovely back patio area with a fountain. Plenty of space and had everything we needed to feel like home! The owner has thought of everything from providing pool towels to laundry detergent! Saadi answered all my questions quickly and was very helpful! Lovely stay!

Clean, well equipped house. We didn't need to contact owners for anything. Only reason for 4-stars was temperature of subdivision whirlpool was set too low for use.

This home has nice features like the artwork and decor. The outside if very nice and includes a dining table and fountain. We stayed there with three children, and I am not certain this is the best home for children as the rugs require special cleaning, and some of the leather seats and stools are difficult for children to navigate. The description includes a reference to hiking trails nearby. If these are the South Mountain trails, I am not sure I would have walked to the trails. I also did not see trails on the mountain. The home is in a neighborhood that is gated. There are a lot of codes to navigate - a code for the community gate, then the house, then an alarm for the home. This was a lot - once I forgot an item and had to run back into the house. I was worried I would set off the alarm. An outside light must also be kept on at all times, and the light comes into one of the bedrooms.

Saadi was a great host and his home was wonderful—clean and thoroughly stocked with everything we needed. The only thing that needed attention was the fountain, but we didn’t spend time on the patio so it wasn’t a problem for us.

We had a very nice time visiting our daughter who goes to school near by in Tempe. The house was clean and very homey. We visited the hot tub after a long day of hiking. We had everything we needed to fix meals. It was a very nice experience. Thank you

My son and his family joined me for my Niece’s wedding. The home had plenty of room for all 6 of us. It was close to the airport as well as the wedding venue. We loved exploring the area, especially The Farm at South Mountain. I had a few questions about the location of a few things and Saadi was quick to respond.

This property was amazingly quiet and comfortable for our family of four. We never expected to have such a beautiful back patio with so many different types of birds when we were physically located in a large city, but this home felt secluded and we enjoyed sitting outside by the fountain whenever we were at home. The rooms were spacious and had comfortable mattresses, and it had an exceptionally well-outfitted kitchen. We were able to get everywhere we wanted to visit within 30 minutes as long as we avoided rush hours.

Perfect place for a group of 6 adults to stay for a great weekend of dragon boat racing! It was definitely nice to come back to a clean, homey place after a long day of paddling. Adults might have a hard time sharing the bunk beds though since they squeaked and moved with every tiny movements. Kids probably will have no problem.

The owners thought of everything possibly needed! The kitchen had everything imaginable! Beautiful home, nicely furnished, comfy beds and furniture. Nice patio area with a fountain, which I really enjoyed in the afternoons while family was at spring training ball games. Owner was very responsive. Unfortunately, the hot tub was not in working order, even though a call was placed to maintainace by owner. We'd like to visit again! Mike and Gay H.

I’d say the place was better then pictured! Spacious inside. Outside on the smaller side, but large enough for 6 and as they say, parking is limited. We found the place perfect for our needs and the owners were very accommodating.

This property was very peaceful and tranquil. I was a little concerned about the area, but once inside the gates, it was very peaceful and felt as if you were safely secluded. The home was immaculately cleaned inside as well as roomy and wonderfully furnished. The kitchen had lots to choose from if you're a cook! No need to bring anything. We absolutely loved the beautiful backyard with the fountain and the amazing vegetation! What a retreat! We were very happy with Saadi and his response time as well as being kind enough to allow an earlier check-in, even though we actually got there right at 4. We would highly recommend this home to all!
