Explore the hidden secrets of Scottsdale, nearby activities include: (We actually tried all of these activities ourselves, and can highly recommend!) Drive to Barlett Lake and cool off in the Summer heat or fish in the Wintertime. (12-person boat rental available at the lake for $250 / 4 hours) Golf at one of the 15+ different Golf courses nearby Horseback riding in Tonto National Forest, it's literally our backyard! (It's about $60 / person, 5 mins from Casa Cactus) ATV, Bike, or Hike on one of the nearby trails (Granite Mountain, Tom's Thumb, & more) Hop on a hot air balloon to catch the sunset over the desert landscape We thoughtfully furnished this home to offer premium hotel-like amenities, while providing more space, comfort and privacy.

Here are some direct quotes from our guests at Casa Cactus: Pros "... Nature lovers will be very pleased with its tranquil spot nestled at the edge of Tonto National Park, and the centuries old saguaro in the backyard is epic. " "... Design appreciators will love its interior which is artful yet minimal and beautifully spacious. " "... Everything is brand new and energetically clean. " "... A serene getaway from the hustle and bustle" "... Communication was immediate and clear every time. Housekeeping was five star, stargazing a billion." Note "... I do recommend a 4x4 car if renting as it makes the dirt road part of the drive more fun :)" "Casa Cactus is 30 minutes away from Old Town Scottsdale, so Instacart is a huge win for this place." ## Property amenities ### Internet -
