Wüsten-Oase - Haus in North Scottsdale - Riesiger Garten/Hof/Terrassen/Pool

We have 4 guest bedrooms, and each bedroom sleeps two (we have recently purchased new top-of-the-line mattresses for all our guest rooms - you won't be disappointed). Our home is pet friendly, and the spacious yard and patios are a dog's heaven.

This single family home could not be better located for easy access to the best that Scottsdale has to offer. It is situated between two major freeways for quick travel to the entire Phoenix and Scottsdale metropolitan areas, and it is only 2 miles from the Scottsdale Airport/Airpark area where you will find all the upscale and luxury shops and restaurants within almost walking distance. The Quarter and Kierland business and shopping centers are less than 2 miles from this home. The Westin is one mile and walking distance for those attending conferences there. Mayo Hospital and Musical Instrument Museum are each 4 miles and an easy drive. Restaurants galore populate our immediate surroundings!

Almost an acre is populated by many fruit trees and every citrus variety imaginable (pomegranate, apple, peach, nectarine, fig, lime, lemon, kumquat, orange, tangerine, tangelo, grapefruit), and you are encouraged to sample them all! We are passionate gardeners, so please enjoy and share the produce. See the many pictures of the gardens. Definitely use the far infrared sauna, which is set in a remote and private nook under the sumac tree!

You will find a twin-size bed with regulation mattress as well as a beautiful and comfortable leather couch on one of the patios, and if you would like (during nice weather...or when there is an awesome thunderstorm!), you can even sleep out on the patio . At least choose to enjoy your meals on the patio at one of our rustic hand carved wooden tables. It is delightful. Bring a book to enjoy in the peace and quiet of the patio and gardens and listen to the birds sing. Enjoy the silence. It is magical.

Three of the four bedrooms have a television as well as the living room and the patio. Roku with its many channels is installed on all five TV's.

Wheelchair friendly! Entry into the home, the backyard and patios, and all 4 bedrooms is without steps. There is one step down into the living room from the dining room and one step from the family room into the kitchen; however, it is possible to stay in this home without navigating any of the steps, so a wheelchair is easily managed.

The pool is huge and deep! At 35,000 gallons, it is 2-3 times larger than the customary home in-ground pool. Because of its size, it is possible to swim "laps" around the circumference without ever touching the sides.

Guest access
Please enjoy all we have to offer - our fresh produce when in season, our two seat far infrared sauna, our pool, our patios. The entire home and outside space will be offered to the guests. The only restricted area is the piano. We do not allow people to play the piano.

Other things to note:
This is a home, not a hotel, so please respect the antiques and other furnishings.

Lush garden spaces create a sophisticated "urban farm" feel, and the grounds are truly spectacular. Dogs, pets, and children are permitted to allow for a whole-family experience. Please note that there is a swimming pool and that you are responsible to carefully supervise your children. The pool is gated from the outside world but not from the home. There are locks on all doors leading to the patios and backyard. Please use them to control access from young children.

Smoking is allowed outside on our three patios only and never inside the house.

We have recently begun allowing events, such as small and respectful family gatherings and dinners, birthday parties, and intimate gatherings of all kinds, as long as you clear it with us ahead of time. We understand that it is an amazing experience to share the romantic ambiance on the patios at night, but please be subdued and responsible and do not exceed the number of guests nor the type of event that we both agree upon at the time of booking. Parties will be shut down and guests asked to leave without reimbursement for remaining days if your event is not as we agreed upon and authorized at the booking step.

Outdoor security cameras are located in the pool and patio area as well as at the front and back doors. This is for the protection of both guests and hosts.

Please be aware that our pool maintenance person comes every Wednesday between 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM. He will have access to the pool from the side gate of the house and leave after he is done. No need for our guests to do anything. Please never take the pool cleaning equipment out of the pool, as it will easily be damaged and expensive to repair.

Occasionally, you may encounter our yard maintenance men. It takes a lot of time and effort to maintain this yard, so please be understanding if they are working in the back. They are very non-obtrusive and quiet, and you probably won't even know they are there. If you have brought dogs, keep them inside while the yard men are present, because they leave the gate open while they are working.
