We had a wonderful time at this property. The communication before check-in, during our stay, and after was wonderful. House was very clean and well equipped. Beds were comfy and clean. Towels were plentiful and clean as well. We used the cornhole boards, pool noodles, shuffleboard, pool table. The pool seemed a little smaller than expected but we still enjoyed it multiple days. Everything from start to finish was great!

Stacy and Kurt were absolutely amazing! Their communication throughout the booking process, stay, and checkout exceeded my expectations. The residence was way nicer in person to say the least. The pictures just don’t do justice for how spacious it was. I can say for all 10 of us that celebrated my bachelor party at the big dog, we were extremely impressed and satisfied. Again, Stacy you are amazing and thank you! 🤘

Our stay at the big dog property was perfect. 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!

We gathered our adult children and grandchildren for a week at the Big Dog Home. 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.

Great house, as advertised. Huge open common area for hanging out. Very clean and stocked with all the necessities. The host, Stacy, is fantastic to work with, very responsive, and genuinely wants to make sure you enjoy your stay. Grapefruit and orange trees in the backyard were a nice bonus.

What a fantastic property! The place was beautiful, immaculate, and looked just like the photos (if not better). 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. Stacey was super helpful and communicative throughout, making the entire process so easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

I booked this house for a guys golf and Spring Training weekend. We had 10 men staying there and the place was perfect 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.

From start to finish, cannot say enough good things about the property and hosts. Perfect fit for Waste Management weekend. Stacy stayed in constant contact and was very accommodating. The property size was perfect for our group of 14 and the neighborhood was nice & quiet. Would definitely recommend and would love the chance to stay again in the future. -- Matthew
