Snowbird Working Vacation in East Mesa
February 1-March 8We spent five wonderful weeks at the Riverdale Retreat. We couldn’t have asked for a better location for a “working vacation” while spending time away from the cold and snowy Midwest. Fortunately, we had AMAZING weather for most of our stay, so the backyard and heated pool were put to good use. The house is pretty much as seen in the photos. The master bedroom and walk-in closest are quite roomy. The tvs have only very basic cable but we were able to stream sports and other tv shows with ease from our own devices to the tvs. The WiFi signal was strong.The house was so conveniently located for our needs. Very close to the 202 loop with easy access to groceries, shopping and dining. Some of our favorite restaurants: Red, White & Brew, Echo 5, and The Hub. The Hitching Post in Apache Junction is also a fun saloon. If your travels take you to Fountain Hills, be sure to try The Saddle Bronc! Travel was easy, too. We were able to get to each of these locations in 30 minutes or less: Gateway Airport, Sky Harbor Airport, Downtown Tempe, Old Town Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, Sloan Park, Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, and The Mesa Market. The hosts were very responsive and gave us pointers on arrival about the house and the area. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
