This location in Fountain Hills was all we could hope for. The hikes surrounding it, the quick trip (25 minutes) to the Phoenix Farmers market, Whole Foods, Scottsdale was so easy. An easy drive to Payson (1 hour) and an easy exit to Sedona (2.5 hours) made for a great day trip. The area and house are beautiful- so quiet with no light pollution to steal the stars. Coffee in the morning in the backyard is lively with birds and bunnies and wine on the side patio provides a great place to view the sunset. I would absolutely stay here again. The house has a great south western feel, is bright, comfortable and equipped with all we needed.
