Scottsdale, Arizona

Nestled in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, Scottsdale is known for its sunny skies, stunning mountain views, and vibrant blend of Southwest charm and modern luxury. November is one of the most beautiful times of year to visit, with warm days, cool evenings, and plenty of sunshine. Our retreat house is located near Old Town Scottsdale, a walkable district filled with local boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, coffee shops, and lively nightlife. While retreat activities will keep us cozy at our venue most of our stay , we do plan to hit up the city for lunch on Sunday and after checkout for lunch. Additionally, guests traveling from out of town and arriving early or extending their stay will find plenty to explore, from scenic desert trails and spa experiences to shopping, dining, and cultural attractions.

We will be staying at a spunky and fun Airbnb in Scottsdale, Arizona, just minutes from Old Town Scottsdale. The home has 5 bedrooms (4 private rooms and 1 shared room with multiple single beds), a hot tub, a fully stocked kitchen, multiple dining areas, a putting green, a fire pit, and tons of places to cozy up and read! You will specify your rooming preferences at checkout.

Exact address will be provided after booking.

Payment is due at the time of booking.
