What a lovely home and neighborhood for spending a week in
the Scottsdale/Phoenix area! We were a family of three generations staying at Paradise Valley Village. Beautiful desert
landscaping greeted us in the front yard as we arrived. The backyard is totally paradise. It made us feel like we would entertain all the time if the backyard were ours! A large, wonderful heated pool was the center of much fun for the kids and adults. Meals were enjoyed at the outside table (there are actually two outside seating areas for dining). Bird watching in the backyard was amazing, especially when we sighted the green and orange Arizona Lovebird--so colorful. The owner, Cory, is a timely responder to any questions guests might have. The neighborhood is very quiet, with little traffic, yet a shopping area with restaurants and retail stores is close by. In walking the neighborhood we discovered that there were horses and chickens within 6 blocks or so of the house. There's also a children's playground within easy walking distance. We visited the Phoenix Zoo, the Desert Botanical Gardens, hiked at the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, and thoroughly enjoyed the McCormack-Stillman Railroad Park. In the cool of the morning and evenings all kinds of billiard tournaments took place at the home's excellent pool table. We found no downsides at Cory's. Come stay and enjoy the beauties of life in AZ.
