Several friends from around the country gathered here for a long, warm winter getaway/reunion and we loved every minute of our time there. The pool, hot tub, location, and all the on site games made The Big Dog a perfect choice for us.

Everyone had their own bed, the place is full of fun things to do (shuffleboard, pool, ping pong, cornhole, etc), and the outdoor living area is incredible. The house has everything you’ll need. We cooked a big steak dinner one evening and they had all of the equipment; great grill, double oven, several refrigerators, wine fridge, etc. Stacy was awesome. She made it very easy to communicate and accommodated every request. I can’t say enough good stuff about the entire experience. ##### Corey H.

It exceeded our expectations. The home was very clean and well appointed. It is a large home and we appreciated all of the separate spaces. The beds were comfortable, there were tv's in almost every space. The kitchen and laundry had high end appliances and the pool and outdoor space was beautiful. Plenty to do here, ping pong, billards, shuffleboard, board games, etc. Both the pool and hot tub were clean and warm (we paid for the pool heat as it was chilly on arrival) The neighborhood is quiet and the location is convenient to grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants. It is obvious that the owners care for this home and it shows in even the smallest details. The owner/host was very responsive to our questions and requests. We would definitely return to this beautiful oasis. ##### Linda T.

We were a group of 15 friends who have known each other for years. We came to Scottsdale from all over Canada and the US. The property was perfect for us. We were interested in a house that offered plenty of room, sporting activities, great lounging areas, a gourmet kitchen, and a pool. The Big Dog met all our expectations and more! Stacy and Kurt were excellent hosts. The level of communication with me was above my expectations. Check in and out was a breeze. All questions were answered within minutes. Unbelievably responsive! Our group was happy to stay close to home for most of the trip watching sports in the enormous TV in the huge games room or hanging out by the pool. We used the ping pong table, cornhole game, and the poker table. It was a paradise for a guys weekend! The property feels very private and the neighborhood was great. The location was very easy for us to get to golf and to get to old town for dinner and drinks on one night. If your group is a bunch of friends looking to have a comfortable weekend lounging in a guys paradise, this is the place! Couldn’t be more happy with our choice of house rental. Thanks again Stacy and Kurt! ##### Garth S.

The house was in a perfect location and the house itself is awesome. Tons of space, great bedrooms, pool, hot tub, shuffle board, pool table……….it was the perfect house for our big group. The hosts are super super nice and easy to work with. We will be back multiple time to Scottsdale and won’t stay anywhere else now. Loved it ##### Darwin H.

This vacation rental was excellent, massive TVs for March madness games in every single room and in outdoor common spaces. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub especially! So many activities for a guys trip with the ping pong, pool table, shuffle board & corn hole. This was one of the nicest rentals I have ever stayed in and communication with Stacey was terrific, they made the entire process simple and transparent. Five stars all around!!!! ##### george g.

Had the weather been a little warmer it would have been perfect. The property is spacious, beautiful and appointed very well. On arrival the water was already warm and everything was ready to go as advertised. Plenty of gaming equipment and amenities that we took advantage of throughout our stay. The quality of the furnishings and equipment is above average. The pool and back deck area is set up very nice for entertaining and hot tub was used plenty. Enjoyed the oranges right out of the tree in the backyard too. Our hosts Stacy and Kurt were great and very pleasant. They were always available to answer a question or offer whatever we needed. Our next trip back to Scottsdale will include another stay at The Big Dog! Kent ##### Kent F. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2023 ---
