This is a beautiful home in a great location. Super clean and well-appointed with everything you might need. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Highly recommend.
Great property, location, cleanliness! Very welcoming and well appointed! Don’t hesitate to stay here! We’ve stayed in numerous rentals and this is one of our favorites!
We enjoyed a very fun and relaxing weekend in Tempe! The property was very clean, had everything we needed, and the pool and spa were perfect, check in and check out were very easy as well. Neighborhood was very nice and quiet. We would definitely stay here again!
We had an amazing stay at Tempe Lakes Retreat! It was just my family of 4 and each kid had their own room, which was great. My kids LOVED the pool. It was the perfect house for our extended weekend. We loved the little walk down to the lake. Would definitely recommend this house. The hosts were amazing and whenever I messaged they instantly got back to me. Wonderful stay!
We stayed here for a few days before flying back to the UK. The house was beautiful - pristine, spacious and, above all, cool. We loved the pool and the peaceful garden. And a great part of Tempe, too. Thank you, Maryann!
Loved this property and enjoyed our time there! The description and pixs are exactly what you will find. Friendly and quiet neighborhood, yet close to everything. The hosts are great and responsive. We look forward to a return visit!
Everything about this home was perfect. It’s by far the nicest rental home we’ve stayed in in Tempe, and we visit often. The property is quiet, nicely updated, and has everything you need for a great visit. The owner was responsive and kind. We look forward to staying here again on our next trip to AZ!
We rented The Lakes to spend time together for my daughter’s graduation from ASU. The backyard and pool are beautiful. We ended until taking family graduation photos there. It was a very comfortable place to stay.
We enjoyed this house very much. One of the best stocked homes I’ve stayed in. The back yard is adorable and so user friendly off the kitchen. Bbq worked perfectly and also right off kitchen. Communication excellent with MaryAnn. The only let down is the spa. Not very warm and super soft jets but that wouldn’t stop us from staying again.
Lovely house! The pool was fantastic and private. The outdoor area had plenty of space for sun or shade. The house has tons of room and very comfortable beds. We wanted a relaxing trip in the sun with a pool, and this was the perfect place to get it!
We had an amazing stay at The Lakes! High end finishes, very clean, super comfy bedding and couches. Beautiful pool with awesome outdoor area. I highly recommend and would stay again! Host was super responsive and extremely helpful. Loved it!
We had a great stay over Memorial Day weekend. The home had everything we needed, was perfectly clean, and the hosts were super responsive. Wouldn't change a thing! We hope to be back.
My wife and kids and I came for a short weekend. Just what we needed. The property is located in a great location and close to many fun activities. Very clean and quiet. Loved it!
This house exceeded expectations. It was clean and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed. The outdoor space and pool were wonderful. The hosts were helpful and welcoming. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
Spotless, beautifully decorated, well-maintained property—inside and out. It was a perfect location for our month-long stay. We, including our dog, were more than comfortable. The well-stocked kitchen and two TV areas were appreciated. Highly recommend.
Stayed 2 weeks with our kids and grandkids.
The house was clean and comfortable. Pool was great, we paid to have it heated since we had really young kids. The owners are always available and got back to us right away if we had questions.
Location was on a quiet street but so close to everything! Would stay here again.
We loved staying at this property for an extended period. The property owners thought of everything and were very reachable. WiFi was great for working remotely. Highly recommend for someone coming for an extended period… or visiting a student at ASU. Very comfortable home. Wish were coming at a time where we could have used the inviting pool, too!
Excellently refurbished interior along with terrific floor plan. Experience compromised by tree trimming crews, landscapers, pool cleaners and rules on who can come visit during stay... and you can't even park in the driveway...
Busy family always on the go who enjoyed our time at the Lake house. My daughter and son in law live in Phoenix. My daughter who is a professional photographer is very busy. She got to see her dad and also enjoyed a much needed weekend by the pool. We live in Tucson.
This was our first trip to AZ so we had a few key items we wanted in a house. Convenient location, pool (and hot tub), safe area and spacious for a family with two teens. This property fit all our needs. The house was very comfortable. We enjoyed swimming every day. The owners were very quick to help with any questions we had. We will definitely stay again when we return.
This home was clean, exceptionally quiet, and the IDEAL location for us moving our son into ASU for the first time! Maryann and her husband were responsive, helpful and kind. We would definitely stay again.
