Neighborhoods
Our historic neighborhood is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Central Phoenix. The streets are lined with palm trees and one of a kind homes from the early 1900’s. The neighborhood runs down Flower st, Cheery Lynn st, and Earl dr and is bordered by Randolph Rd, 16th st & Osborn. Each house is unique with it’s own history & charm. Also Bordering the neighborhood is the Phoenix Country Club, The Phoenix Conservatory of Music, and several local restaurants. You will see plenty of neighbors out walking their dogs and enjoying the AZ sunshine!

Known to locals as “Roosevelt Row”, this neighborhood is home to several unique local spots that line East Roosevelt street. Some worth mentioning are: The Killer Whale Sex Club (don’t let the name scare you away!) The Churchill, Greenwood Brewing, Rough Rider, Lucky’s, Jackalope Gastropub, and Tap That. It is easy to get to sporting events and concerts from Roosevelt Row via the public transportation, and we love all the local art and murals that line the street! Street parking is available, but don’t forget to pay the meter.

The Arizona Biltmore is a beautiful hotel with deep rooted history. The surrounding area offers high end shopping and restaurants and beautifully manicured landscaping. A few spots worth mentioning are: Hillstone Restaurant, Flint & The Upstairs at Flint, Saks Fifth Ave, Ralph Lauren, True Food Kitchen, Seasons 52, and The Collins. This area is a 10 minute drive from the airbnb. I also recommend checking out the hotel grounds and golf course if you have the time as they are stunning.

Cave Creek is about 40 minutes north of the airbnb and offers a more casual western vibe with country line dancing bars, rodeos, and great hikes and views. My favorite spots include: Buffalo Chip (large country bar with live music and a weekly rodeo), El Encanto (Mexican with an expansive gorgeous patio) Ravens View Wine bar (go for happy hour after a hike!), Blue Wash Trailhead Hike (it has awesome views at the beginning and a little waterfall at the end!), and The Grotto Cafe (great for lunch with occasional live music). If you love the country western vibe, and want to plan a day trip here, please reach out and I can help give itinerary recommendations!

Sightseeing
Just 40 min east of the house, you’ll find the beautiful Saguaro Lake & Salt River. You can take a leisurely hike around the lake or bring a blanket/towels and have a picnic on the lake’s sandy shore. There are also kayak and paddle board rentals available! If you’re lucky, you’ll see the Salt River wild horses grazing nearby! This is a great day trip for water lovers or people looking for an easier hike with gorgeous views!

The farm at south mountain is an expansive plot of land at the base of south mountain with 3 restaurants and tons of space to spread out and enjoy the views and sunshine! I highly recommend their breakfast restaurant Morning Glory Cafe! There are picnic tables spread out all over the property or you can also bring your own blanket to throw down and have a picnic. You can walk around and explore the farm or just bask in the sun or shade.

Breakfast
Luci’s is hands down my favorite breakfast/coffee spot in town!
They have THE best green juice and cold brew, a delicious food menu, and an adorable gift boutique too with lots of local AZ items.
Luci’s now has a few locations in Phoenix/Scottsdale. Two of them are close by the Airbnb, both about 10 min away. Luci’s at the Orchard is my favorite because of their outdoor space, and neighboring candy/ice cream shop! There is also Luci’s marketplace that has open air seating and the exact same menu!
If going with a large group, I suggest sending someone from your party early to save a table or 2, as seating is first come first serve!
