Happy Valley Hideaway | Resort-like home with amazing views & walking distance to hiking trails!

TPT License # 21379272 | Happy Valley Hideaway

7,000 sq. ft. custom, resort-style home adjacent to the Phoenix Sonoran Desert Preserve and Cave Buttes Recreation Area. This 2.5 acre estate has both colorful mountain and twinkling city views. The always-changing colors of the sunset in the backyard are breathtaking! One of the big secrets you will enjoy at this home located in Happy Valley, is the weekly hot air balloon “shows” directly over the house. It is a memorable, quiet, slow moving, colorful, up-close experience you won't forget.

This 7 bed/6 bath home sleeps up to 10 adults and 11 kids, on three levels. There is a huge, adult loft game area AND a kids gaming/play area with two bunk rooms in the walk-out lowest level. Zero entry main level has 3 bedrooms with King beds and 1 with a Queen and ALL 4 King bedrooms have their own private balcony or patio. Two bedrooms have an en-suite bathroom and then two others have a split en-suite, meaning it has a door to bath directly but also a door from a hallway.

This oasis in the heart of the desert hosts, a heated pool with a waterfall, fire pit, 9-hole putting green, 1 fireplace, outdoor BBQ kitchen, baseball hoop area, ping-pong, pool table, slapback shuffleboard, poker table, “Golden Tee” machine, a 4 person arcade with 1,300 games, dart machine, air hockey, foosball, double “pop a shot”, all smart TV's, Direct TV and free wifi, and more.

36 miles of trails begin less than an acre away, to bike or hike (easy to difficult) with its native cactus and plants, desert wildlife and awesome views. Easy access to the 101, 17 & 51 highways.

Location
Major crossroads are N Central Ave & E Quartz Rock Rd

Wonderful stay and a beautiful home!
Some friends and I went out to this property for a bachelor party / golf trip, essentially serving as a "home base" for the weekend. The home exceeded our expectations and was an absolute gem for the trip. There was PLENTY to do at the home, with games, a pool, a putting green, a fire pit, etc. The home was truly a highlight of our trip and every person who attended enjoyed it thoroughly. The kitchen and main floor was plenty big enough to accommodate the 14 people that stayed. The patio and pool area was amazing, providing plenty of shade and entertainment throughout the days! I highly suggest this property to anyone needing a larger home to stay in in the Phoenix / Scottsdale area.

Disney World for Adults and Kids
This house has something for everyone to enjoy! So much recreation for all ages which is nice given its proximity (or lack thereof) to most Phoenix/Scottsdale activities. We ended up spending a lot more time at the house than expected due to how remote it is. That bothered others in our group more than me. Property Management company was extremely responsive and easy to work with. Would recommend.

Awesome during day; sauna at night
We stayed there with three other families (16 adults and kids in total). The games, pool, and outdoor facilities were awesome. House is a great space. The only problem, which was a massive one, is that the HVAC couldn't keep up at night in several of the bedrooms, including the bunk room (supposed to sleep 6), the primary, and 1 other. With people sleeping in them, temperatures were in the 80s in the rooms, as the HVAC just wasn't strong enough. Kids had to sleep on couches in the great room, and the adults had sleepless nights. Outdoor temps weren't higher than 90 at night, so very frustrating. Great place during the day, sauna at night. Replace the HVAC!

Great house for large family with many kids.
The house and property are beautiful!! The kids level is a stroke of genius - allows the kids freedom to enjoy games without hovering parents and keeps the noise down there. We had local family join us for many meals so more silverware and kitchen towels would help. Had a few challenges with a weak internet signal and there was some confusion on the garbage & recycling pick up so the management team may have needed to make another recycle pick up - Tuesday vs Friday. The management team was very responsive!!

Beautiful Home. Lots of activities.
This home is beautiful and has so much to offer in activities and living space. We had 10 adults and 2 children under 6. Plenty of space. The kids and adults really enjoyed the available games and the pool. We had a beautiful weather week for October. Being it was in the 90s we thought for sure the water in the pool would stay warm, but it was a little chilly getting in. But once in all was good. So if you are staying outside of the summer you may want to consider heating the pool. The management company was very responsive to any questions. I think there was just a few communication issues on a couple of items. I would say there was some confusion on the garbage collection but it got straightened out in the end. Also, the dishwasher was not operational until later in the week. By Thursday the unit was replaced. Not that it would have made a difference but it would have been nice to know about the situation as the repairman told us he had it ordered and was just waiting for it to come in. And we had no idea he was coming, he just showed up while we were outback. But overall, this did not impact the great time we had during our visit. We would definitely consider this home again if we find ourselves heading back to Phoenix!

Wonderful home, perfect for larger families. Lots of game time, while still enjoying outdoors, with pool and mini golf course. Only complaint, and you have no control over this...a very loud, barking dog in the morning, and afternoon, and evening....I couldn't believe how long that dog would bark?!
