Top Ghost Towns to Visit in Arizona

I stayed at the Lantern Retreat and had an unbelievable experience; the place was extremely clean, vibrant and overall the perfect spot to host a large group of 15+ friends - I would recommend this place to anyone, big thanks to Darlene and the team for all their support

Paradise Reserve and SWSS were everything we could have hoped for and more in a home and vacation experience. Every detail was thought of for this home and executed to make for the most luxurious stay for our group. 10/10 would recommend Paradise Reserve and Darlene and her team, who cultivated such an incredible experience for our group. Communication, concierge services, and general kindness for our trip were top notch and truly made our stay so memorable.

We stayed here for a golf trip and it was perfect from start to finish. The location is fantastic—convenient to great courses, dining, and everything we needed. The house itself is beautiful, but the awesome pool was the highlight. We spent every evening relaxing and unwinding there after long days on the course. Darlene and the entire staff were extremely helpful and communicative throughout the entire process. They made everything seamless and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. If you’re heading to Scottsdale for golf or just a getaway, book this place—you won’t be disappointed!

The place was even better than we expected!! Great outdoor space with lots to do for everyone. Close to everything we needed. This was our second stay at FORE! and won’t be our last . Another great vacation !

Awesome experience. We had plenty of space to spread out even with our crew of 15. Super clean. The pool, hot tub, sports court and lawn games were great for all especially the kids. The covered outdoor kitchen was a great place to grill and we loved the fire pit. Highly recommend!

Beautifully remodeled, contemporary interior, well appointed with everything we could ask for. We stayed for a week. Very clean and super comfortable. The pool temperature was perfect, the bbq clean as new and great quality. Comfortable patio furniture. I can’t think of anything that could be improved. Close drive to lots of great restaurants. Even the neighbors we met were nice. Easy 5 stars.

The property is amazing. What a wonderful experience

The Elite Retreat was truly that! The property was fabulous and a great location. The communication with the property manager was excellent. Would highly recommend for a large gathering or groups.

My family and I stayed at the Ultimate Compound in Scottsdale, AZ. We had an incredible experience! The host was amazing and very responsive. There were so many things to do right at the compound. Fun and comfort for all ages! We will be back! Five Stars in every category!! Doug J

I highly recommend Stay With Style Scottsdale. The house was clean and organized with plenty of fun things to keep you entertained. The communication was exceptional. We look forward to returning.

This place is amazing! Don’t even hesitate to book this house. Everything you need is there… every need is met. Management is super responsive… not that we really needed anything but still were engaged with us during check-in. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!

The house was amazing, clean, well stocked and had everything you could ever need ! Stay with style Scottsdale was the best company we have used for rentals and will definitely use them again

The house was very convenient to all the places we visited. The Host was very responsive & the house was everything as she described. The golf simulator & pool was a HUGE hit. Would stay here again.

We had the best time at Tailfeather. It was immaculate, peaceful, comfortable and well appointed. Darlene was responsive and helpful. Would definitely return.

Very clean, plenty of space, nicely furnished, fantastic pool and backyard. Excellent communication. Would definitely stay again.

Very well run operation and beautiful properties. They made planning our family gathering easy and even had a passenger van waiting for us upon arrival. So much easier to work rather than trying to stitch together the logistics when you have a bigger group. Highly recommend!

This will be an easy review..First off LOVED the house! The setup was magnificent. Everything from the pool and the backyard to the pingpong and pool table!On top of that.. it is close by everything in Scottsdale as well!The host was just as good. Communication is top notch and gives you everything you need.DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

My family of 13 loved the Celebrity Hideaway! The tennis court in the back yard was a real plus and the pool table, putting area, and ping pong table added hours of fun.The pool and slide were loved by the kids and we heated the pool for extra comfort. The house interior was laid out perfectly for our large family; we wouldn’t chance a thing! And if you haven’t been to Scottsdale, go!! There’s so much to do.

If I could give six stars I would. My group and I had to last minute pivot a trip we had planned and were struggling to find accommodation with such little notice. Darlene’s kindness during a stressful situation really set the tone for the entire experience. She was supportive throughout the whole booking experience and was available throughout our stay. The home itself was absolutely incredible. Exactly like the photos! It was perfect for our group. So much so, we are looking to plan future trips out there so we can utilize the space again. I can’t recommend the property and Darlene enough!

We had an amazing family vacation (2 parents and 4 young adult kids) at this home. Location was great, so much space for everyone to spread out, yet we all enjoyed time together in the multiple common areas. We played pickleball and used the pool every day. All amenities were provided and the kitchen was fully stocked for our needs. Most importantly, the house was super clean and the property managers were very prompt in responding to any of our texts. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing location! We had stayed here 8 year ago and decided to return this February. Extremely please with the layout, house was perfect with great amenities and top notch concierge services. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you Darlene for everything!

We had a great family reunion at the house. Everyone enjoyed all the amenities of this beautiful house.

Incredibly done! Dream house, perfect for a large gathering. Attention to detail from the SWSS team was first class.

The house was perfect for our team offsite! It’s conveniently located in a nice neighborhood and has great amenities! Really great experience working with the Stay with Scottsdale team and would highly recommend staying at one of their properties.

I cannot recommend SWSS higher. They are extremely professional and helpful! We were lucky to tour 5 different properties they had and settled on Elite Retreat. All of the properties were extremely clean, well kept, and easy to simply unpack and enjoy our stay! If you are looking to stay at a short term rental in Scottsdale, I would highly recommend you check out their property portfolio!

The staff were super accommodating before our arrival!!! Would 10/10 recommend staying here or at any other property they have! The space was exactly as described & super clean. Had everything needed to stay there & perfect location.

Great house plenty of room everything needed for a good stay

Great place! Would definitely rent again.

Our best Airbnb experience to date. The house had all of the amenities that we possibly could’ve needed. Everything worked great especially the heated pool. The game room was amazing and kept their children, busy and off of screens. The outdoor activities were amazing. Also mini golf bocce ball beanbag toss. Would highly recommend staying here. We will definitely try to book it. The next time we come to Scottsdale.

We had the most amazing experience at this Scottsdale home. I’m sorry we didn’t take pics of the house or the backyard but the accommodations were fantastic. The house itself is spacious and impeccably kept. The bedrooms are so comfortable with excellent mattresses and clean linen that did not look old or used. There was an abundance of towels, in all sizes, which was very helpful. We loved that every light switch was clearly labeled so you didn’t need to keep turning lights on and off to see which fixture it belonged to. The open floor plan was beautiful- we are a family of 8 on winter break and the setup allowed for ppl to be in the kitchen and the den with lots of room to walk around and still be able to spend time together. The sliding doors in the kitchen area allowed for the doors to either be semi or completely open which really opened up the space even more. The backyard was magnificent!! The pickleball/tennis/basketball court is well kept and well lit for night play as well. The outdoor kitchen and built in bbq had plenty of seating and offered a warm, cozy, inclusive vibe. The pool and hot tub are gorgeous and clean. The double washers and dryers were a game changer- have to add this to my own house now! We cannot rate this house high enough. The communication was always clear and immediate- we always felt there was someone to speak to if we needed anything. When our flight was cancelled at the last minute they were very accommodating in extending our stay day by day as necessary. Forget hotels- this is your private resort with all amenities. We can’t wait to go back!!

We had an awesome stay at Cactus Crown in Scottsdale. The outdoor amenities were top-notch — perfect for relaxing and hanging out after long days on the golf course. The accommodations were spacious, comfortable, and extremely well set up for our large group of golfers. Our group had a total of 8 and everyone was comfortable. Everything was clean, well maintained, and exactly as advertised. Location was great and made getting to courses, dining, and entertainment easy. Highly recommend this property for golf trips or large group stays. We’d absolutely book again.

Absolutely stunning property & amenities. Pool, hot tub, basketball court, pickleball court, outdoor kitchen, fire pit. 6 master suites. Stayed with 4 couples for a 3 day golf trip. Fabulous courses only 15-20 minute drives away. Highly recommend!

This home is absolutely breathtaking and amazing. Do yourself a favor and book this location as soon as you can for you and all of your friends and family. Sleeps 20 people but feels so much bigger than that. So many activities and things to do at the house or enjoy the wonderful back yard.

We visited with a large group of friends and family, and the compound exceeded all expectations. The bunk house, in particular, was an absolute hit with the children. Everything was perfectly clean, and the compound was impeccably appointed. All bed were comfortable, and there was room for everyone to spread out and do whatever they wanted. We are a finicky group and everybody was still impressed.

Fantastic location with an amazing, completely private yard. The wonderful pool and hot tub were a big hit with the kids and the proximity to several different hiking options topped it off. What’s great holiday location!

My family rented Catcus Crown from Stay with Style Scottsdale (SWSS) over Christmas week 2025. I've rented houses all over the US and Caribbean and I can say without hesitation that SWSS is excellent at managing and delivering a rental home. The home was very clean, had plenty of linens, towels, and was in great shape. There were so many plates, bowls, silverware, pots and pans. We had 15 adults and 4 kids and we never ran out of cups or plates. This home in particular was very new and had top of the line appliances including a big subzero fridge, new wolf ovens, and 2 big washer and dryers to use should you need them. There are 7 bedrooms and 7 full baths. There is ample seating for big family gatherings. The outdoor space was amazing including an eating area, and a tv area. There is an outdoor grill, hot tub, and a gigantic heated pool. There is also a pickle ball court and a big wood fire pit. We absolutely loved this home and are already planning a return trip. I also want to emphasize that the staff at SWSS is excellent. Darlene, Jorge, and the maintenance crew quickly dealt with all of the very small issues we ran into. Darlene is incredibly friendly and responsive and so very easy to work with. Jorge was always available by text and quickly resolved any of our concerns. If the Catcus Crown home is not available, I have no issues working with Darlene and SWSS to find another home they manage. They really are the best company I've dealt with in over 13 years of renting homes. thanks Darlene and the entire SWSS staff.

A perfect place to stay with our high school basketball team. So much to do to keep them all entertained.

This is our second time staying at the Place. 1 year later and it is still as meticulously maintained. Most vacation rental properties don't look like their pictures, this one does. This is a must stay.

Great place for our family of 11. We loved the backyard with large clean pool and the racquetball court was so much fun.

Wonderful stay! The house is beautiful and the service that Stay With Style Scottsdale provides is top notch (thanks again Darlene)! Will definitely stay again.

This property was over and above my expectations. Every photo and description was spot on. The hosts were amazing and quick to respond too. We will be staying again and again.

Perfect location for our pilates/pool retreat. Bedrooms were spectacular. Everyone loved having their own room. Large, well stocked kitchen was roomy enough for all 10 of us to gather and cook. Outdoor spaces were well planned and pool was gorgeous. Great area for private parking. Ideal location for easy access to shops, restaurants and airport.

Loved the house and all the amenities. Came for my daughter’s wedding and we had family in from London, Chicago and LA. We were able to stay together which was amazing. Darlene was very helpful and informative at booking answering all our questions. Would definitely book with Stay in style Scottsdale again!! Very good experience! Angela

Everything was just as described and wonderful. Thank you!!!

Our stay at Casa Consola was nothing short of amazing! We were blown away by how beautiful the house was with every detail from the wonderful decor, the fully equipped kitchen, the bedrooms, the casita, and all the amenities! The outdoor space was incredible - the pool area was private with plenty of seating and the peaceful surroundings. Stay With Styles Scottsdale (the hosts) were exceptional. Very friendly, welcoming, helpful, always responsive if we needed anything, and they made our trip all that more enjoyable! We didn't want to leave and we are already planning our next visit to Casa Consola. It was the perfect choice for our family vacation!

Had seven guys on an annual golf trip. Great place to stay. Very clean and spacious. Great people to work with. As the pictures show, lots of activities in the backyard. My only regret is that we didn’t use their on-site rental cars available. Renting cars from the Phoenix airport is not very convenient. Probably best to use their cars and Uber to and from the airport. Only a $30-$40 charge for the Uber each way. Will definitely book again if we’re back in the area

I would like to share is how fantastic to stay with style Scottsdale team, and Darlene are! This team was a complete joy to work with every step of the way. They were kind they were curious, and they were wonderful communicators. The house was completely immaculate. We enjoyed every aspect of the house. The styling was fantastic. My family thoroughly enjoyed this property. We spent most of our time here. The value is definitely there for the money. Do yourself a favor and book with them today.!
