Recent McDowell Sonoran Preserve - Scottsdale guest reviews

Family vacation with adult children children. The layout was great for our needs. Great location. Would recommend.
Rebecca B. | May 2025
Quite. The view from the back porch, pool view is breathtaking. Great family space. If you have teens, the master is on one side of the house, while the other rooms are on the other. I loved this house. I think I stepped outside every morning and took pictures/videos of the Mountain View. I really hated to leave.
Amanda R. | May 2025
The condo was very close to everything you would want. There is a walking trail a few minutes away which is a lovely nature trail. There is also a pool and hot tub a short walk from the front door.
