    **Important things to know about Cardinal Home**
    》Shares a driveway with the casita on the property, which could be occupied when you rent. Please respect the other’s privacy.
    》Remote property without many stores. Plan accordingly. There’s a Walgreens nearby; however, a grocery store is 20+ minutes away.
    》Located on a dirt road. Expect a little bit of dust.
    》Food delivery is sparse; however, a few places deliver on UberEats
    》You'll need a car to get around. Uber and Lyft are difficult here.
    》Pest control sprays the home monthly with non-toxic, environmentally friendly chemicals to help keep the bugs away.
    》We’re preparing for a full remodel in the near future. In the meantime, allow us to share our home with its imperfections and a handful of outdated features (albeit charming). The home is plenty comfortable and functional for your stay.

    ✨ Is This Home Right for You?
    This home is ideal for guests who are:
    - A couple or a few guests looking for a peaceful outdoor escape
    - Someone who enjoys nature, fresh air, and wide open space
    - Comfortable with a quiet, rural setting, with dirt roads and local wildlife are part of the experience.
    - Enjoys an active, outdoor lifestyle—hiking, desert walks, biking, or running in wide-open spaces.
    - Looking for privacy, calm mornings, and starry nights

    This home may not be a good match for guests who are:
    - Looking for a resort-style experience with instant, on-site support.
    - Looking for walkable restaurants, nightlife, or shopping nearby
    - Uncomfortable with country roads or rural surroundings or wildlife animals
    - Prefer a highly urban, polished, or luxury environment

    Guest Access:
    Guests have access to the entire home. Only the garage and the master bedroom closet are locked and off-limits.

    The Neighborhood:
    The home is on a dirt road with a charming desert vibe! It's about 35 minutes from North Scottsdale’s restaurants & shops. The location is special as it's surrounded by nature, endless hikes on beautiful trails, and provides lots of privacy! It’s a wonderful opportunity to disconnect, enjoy tranquility, and be away from it all.

    Getting Around:
    The home is 37 miles | 60 km (about a 40-min drive) from the Phoenix Airport (PHX) and 18.6 miles | 30 km (about a 30-min drive) from the Scottsdale Airport (SCF). Check your mobile map apps when you arrive, as driving times vary based on the time of day. You’ll need a car to get around, as Uber and Lyft ride services are difficult to get from the property.

    Interaction with Guests:
    The home uses a Smart Lock keyless entry where you can check yourself in using the electronic door code.
    You’ll have complete privacy during your stay, but we’re available 7 days a week. Should you need anything, just send us a message.

Lovely property!

We truly enjoyed our stay here! The house was clean and as pictured/described. The kitchen was well stocked with basic necessities. The back yard is lovely. The pool is very small but not heated (option was not offered), and that was our one disappointment. We would have used it had it been warm. We enjoyed walking on the quiet dirt roads around the neighborhood. Communication with host was timely and excellent. We would definitely return!

A real taste of desert living. This is an awesome house with fun furnishings and decor. The outdoor space is fantastic as well. Great communication from host. We enjoyed sipping coffee on the back patio at sunrise. Nights in the desert are so beautiful and this location has no noise or street lights so you can relax and see the stars!
