NO BIRTHDAY PARTIES, WEDDINGS, ANNIVERSARIES, FAMILY REUNIONS OR EVENTS ARE PERMITTED WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL, YOU MAY BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE HOME AND WILL FORFEIT YOUR ENTIRE AMOUNT OF RENT PAID IF YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE AN UN-AUTHORIZED PARTY OR EVENT. If extra guests come to the house without prior communication you can also loose your deposit. We ask that you be respectful of our neighbors, they are very watchful and update us if there’s a problem. No music or dj’s are allow in the back yard. No “loud” talking, laughing or yelling after 10pm on the week days and 11pm on the weekend. Thank you for being understanding that our neighbors live here every day- we want to be quiet, enjoy the amenities and make memories in a quiet respectful manner. If you respect the noise ordinance curfew you will have no problems.

Welcome to our southwest Spanish style Hacienda! Almost 6,000 square feet, 8 bedrooms and 6 full bathrooms.

This backyard is amazing, your own private resort! The pool has two water slides, a grotto with a waterfall, a tanning ledge and a separate hot tub. Plenty of patio seating for your large crowd. Many pool lounge chairs, 4 plus patio seating areas- in the shade and in the sun. Many large patio heaters for the cooler desert evenings. Heating the pool is $200 for up to 7 days. (please note, our pool is over 17,000 gallons and we bought the largest heat pump our pool company could find. In the winter months the heater will struggle to maintain temperaures above 80 degrees when the overnight temps are low and the sunlight is so short of hours and also low temperatures. The heat pump will automaically shut off as an equipment saftey feature when air temps go down to 45 or below. When your use the waterslides and the water is cycling thru the cold air, it will also cause the pool tempature to lower or in the hot summer days it will heat the water. Please message us for any other questions before booking and please understand the water will not feel like a hot tub.) The pool has its own full bathroom and is completely fenced off from part of the yard with a gate for safety of the little ones.

There is a golfing cage to practice your swing, a basketball hoop, 11 hole mini golf course, and a pickle ball court. Yard sized chess game! We also have corn hole, ladder ball, lawn darts, and spike ball. We added two sun sail shades over the playset and miniature golf areas in 2023.

We have a RuffHouse Playset, large enough for older children also. Made local here in Mesa, Az!

The outdoor kitchen is so large! It has a brand new griddle and grill fall of 2023, 2 beverage refrigerators, an ice maker with a hand painted mural that continues your view of superstition mountain right into your back yard. It’s covered- so plenty of shade and a sectional, a table that seats 8.

We have a game room with a pool table, dart board, connect four, shuffle board table, and a poker table. You won’t have time to leave the property to do other activities!

Our beds all have quality linens and sheets. We have two cribs, two high chairs, 2 toddler cots & two pack n plays. Kid friendly plates, cups and bowls. Plenty of books to read to the little ones and chapter books for the older ones. We have family friendly board games and puzzles. These are located in the bedroom with buit in bookshelves.

The master bedroom and bathroom are huge and has a loft with amazing views of Superstition & Dinosaur Mountain and a desk for a working vacation.

We have two additional bedrooms that also have desks and office chairs so online schooling or a working staycation are easy at our house. A printer is available for printing.

We have remodeled the kitchen June of 2024! Brand new kitchen aide double wall oven, TWO dish washers, French door refrigerator and a smart built in microwave. A 6 burner built in down draft cooktop. We added a breakfast bar with 4 barstools. The kitchen is stocked!! Paper towels, Saran Wrap, tinfoil and some condiments, spices just to mention a few. We have a 4 slice toaster, kitchen aide hand mixer, vitamix blender, nesspresso ventura coffee machine, a keurig and a drip coffee maker. Full set of pots and pans with extra skillets. Crock pot, instapot and Dutch oven. Table place setting for the crowd and lots of kids cups, plates and bowls. Our dinning room table can seat10 very comfortably, and of course the two high chairs.

We have parking for two RV’s with 50 amp RV hook ups and septic dumps.

This property can handle multi generation family get togethers or multiple friends and families that want to vacation together. The sunsets and the stargazing will surely be a part of your memories on this vacation as Gold Canyon is a small quiet town with very little light pollution. This is our personal vacation home and we want to make your stay wonderful for special family memories.

We are close to beautiful hikes on Superstition, Dinosaur and Silly Mountains, a Goldfield ghost town and gold mine is near by and the annual Renaissance Festival. Canyon Lake and Saguaro Lake are close by. You can rent paddle board & Kayaks and get out on the water. Salt river tubing is another fun way to spend the day. Rent a tube from them, float down the river and take the shuttle back up. Apache Junction & Mesa are close by with Costco, Marshall’s, Target, malls and so much more. There so many restaurants to choose from right here in Gold Canyon and such a short drive to Apache Junction and Mesa. Mesa Flea Market is open on the weekends and so fun!

We are 35 mins to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport- 20 mins to Mesa Airport, 40 mins to Scottsdale, all the conveniences nearby but Gold Canyon has the relaxation of small town living.

Gold Canyon has several top golf courses and this home can easily fit several families for a golfing vacation!

Please note there are several cameras located on the exterior of the property for security reasons. Camera 1 faces the large gate at the front of the property. Camera 2 faces the side yard. Camera 3 faces the backyard, Camera 4 faces the game room and small gate.

We do not allow any jumping or diving off the top of the water slides or the grotto/waterfall for safety reasons and shallow depth of the pool.

We have a very large rooftop balcony with a spiral staircase. The surface of the roof cannot hold patio furniture, it has the potential to poke holes in it. The wall going around is too short for safety. We have choose to padlock the gate so that little ones and furniture are not climbing up. Please be aware of our safety rules and if you choose climb over our gate and padlock it is at your own risk.
There is another rooftop balcony upstairs by the two bedrooms that has a bench so you can enjoy star gazing and the view.

Please note. We have many propane tanks at the property for the outdoor kitchen and the patio heaters. As we live out of state we are unable to keep the tanks filled used by guests. You will probably need to fill them when you arrive at the house, there is a swap at walgreens less than a mile from the house and Basha's Grocery store a little further away. Our house keeper can also swap them for you at the price $250 for 6 tanks. Please let us know when you are booking so we can have the tanks filled prior to your arrival. Thank you.

An Arizona Resort
The hosts were gracious, informative and attentive. I would highly recommend this property to anyone interested in a well laid out and thought out floor plan for accommodating a large group that includes married couples and children of all ages.The amenities are over the top. The grounds are similar to a five star resort. A 5-star hotel, services are offered proactively based on your expected needs and what the hotel perceives you might need. That is exactly the experience we had. I feel like the hosts supplied everything they thought we might need during our stay. We all had a great time and we look forward to coming again.

We had family in from all over the globe and with a crowd like that and the range of ages we found the perfect place for all of us to stay which was this VRBO rental. We had a few issues but were able to resolve them ourselves quickly and notified the owners for future reference. All in all the owners were very responsive and helpful throughout our visit. I would definitely like to try and make this an annual event with the family.

Great property for a large group. 11 women, 15 girl age 7-19. 5 nights, no fighting or complaints from anyone! Pool and outdoor amenities kept everyone occupied. House large enough that everyone has enough space and really makes the trip enjoyable. Teenagers all slept in the outdoor bunkhouse, they loved having their own area to hang out in. Great hiking just down the road, sunsets were breathtaking. Owners attentive and quickly responded to any questions. Highly recommend!

Something for everyone
My family loved this rental. 4 generations and everyone found something to love. Pickleball tournaments, great playset for the young ones, swimming pool, spa and a lot of time spent around the firepit. The game room got a lot of use. It's a little thing, but the best pantry of any rental I've done in the last 12 years. Well stocked with cookware and serving pieces and easy to find what we needed. Multple regerators helped out w/the age old conflict of storing food vs beverages. Plenty of parking which can be an issue w/larger properties and numerous cars coming in from out of town. We were happy to be outside the city limits and close to hiking and golf. But one of the best things for me-The property owners were amazing to work with. I feel they really care about the families renting their home. Definitely 5 stars from this family!!!

Fantastic stay for all. We could not have asked for more activities. Very safe for little kids. We had a few very minor issues (as expected for such a large property) that Mark and Tammy quickly resolved. Of note if you plan on using the outdoor heaters and fireplaces and grills be sure to check your propane supply. It goes quickly, especially with the cool evenings. Tanks are easily exchanged at Walgreens just a mile or so away. We really enjoyed being outside in the evenings. Thanks so much Mark and Tammy. This is a great place.

It's like a Mini Resort with Endless Activities!
This was the perfect place for our Teddy Bear Yorkies Retreat!! We didn't have any reason to plan activities anywhere else during our 4 day stay, because there was just so much to enjoy right there on the property. With 15 adults and 10 yorkies, there was a ton of space for everyone to run around, and no one ever felt like they were on top of each other. This place is safely confined with cement block fencing all the way around and there are fun surprises of things to see and do around every corner! Mark & Tammy communicated every step of the way, as we were planning, checking in, during our stay and checking out. They were quick to respond to any challenges or questions we had and that was so appreciated. We loved the pool with the waterfall and the covered play area. We felt welcomed, even with 10 doggies, and all the pups & their "pawrents" had an amazing time! Thank you Mark & Tammy for helping us make our very first Teddy Bear Yorkies Retreat so special and memorable! Puppy kisses from our pack to yours! xoxo

Great time at the "Compound"
We had an awesome time in Gold Canyon! Our family, ages 18-80, had plenty of room to spread out and have fun and relax. We really enjoyed the pool, where we spent many hours in the AZ heat. The outdoor kitchen was great. From smashburger tacos and a breakfast of champions on the griddle, to wood fired pizza in the oven, and burgers on the grill, we used it a lot. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the essentials and 3 sets of washers/dryers came in handy. Plenty of garage space for parking and plenty of refrigerators for food and drink. The covered turf area made a great place for cornhole. The owners communicated very well before and during our stay. The house is close to many hiking trails and close enough to all the activities available in the greater Phoenix area. Highly recommend a stay here with a large group.
