Some trips are about seeing a destination. A stay at Exeter House is about living in one. Set behind private gates in Phoenix's Arcadia neighborhood, just off Exeter Boulevard, this architectural retreat puts you inside one of Arizona's most loved zip codes, where tree-lined streets meet Camelback Mountain views and the best of the city sits minutes from your door.
The location does a lot of the work for you. The Henry is a two-minute walk for morning coffee, with AJ's Fine Foods, Steak 44, and rooftop dining at The Global Ambassador all within a half mile. The Phoenician and Mountain Shadows golf courses are about two miles away, Biltmore Fashion Park and Old Town Scottsdale are quick drives, and Phoenix Sky Harbor is roughly 15 minutes door to door, with Scottsdale Airport nearby for private aviation.
Home base feels like a boutique resort of its own. An oversized glass pivot door opens to soaring ceilings and a bright, open layout, where a 30-foot disappearing glass wall folds away to connect the great room with the backyard. The chef's kitchen is built for group cooking, and the dining table seats ten beneath floor-to-ceiling windows that frame Camelback Mountain.
When you need a break from the group, the combined wellness room and office covers both sides of the day. Roll out one of the two yoga mats for a morning flow or a few quiet minutes of meditation, get a workout in on the elliptical, or settle in at the desk when it's time to log on and get some work done.
Outside, days drift between the pool and hot tub, the covered lounge with its outdoor TV, and the high-top gathering table where dinners stretch into card games under the desert sky. Fire up the BBQ, start a match on the private volleyball court, or settle in around the firepit once the sun drops behind the mountain. After dark, the movie room is ready for film nights and big games, and the pool table keeps a friendly tournament going.
Five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and a powder room give a big group real room to spread out, and every bedroom has its own bath. The primary suite pairs a king bed with a private laundry room, separate dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired ensuite. A second bedroom has a king bed and a third has two queens, each with an ensuite bath. The oversized bunk suite is the kids' (or the crew's) favorite: two queen-over-queen bunks sleeping up to eight, with two ensuite bathrooms so mornings move quickly. The fifth bedroom is in the detached casita, where a king bed sits alongside a full kitchen, living room, and full bathroom, ideal for grandparents, a second family, or anyone who wants a quiet corner of their own.
Traveling with your four-legged family? This home was made with them in mind, and up to two dogs are welcome (an additional pet fee applies). Along the side of the house is a private, fully gated dog yard with natural grass and plenty of room to run, so big dogs can stretch their legs and little ones can zoom to their heart's content. The yard is completely enclosed, giving you peace of mind that your pup is safe and secure while they play. We just ask that you pick up after your dog, so the yard stays fresh for the next furry guest.
The best part is that you don't have to play doorman. A doggie door in the secondary laundry and refrigerator area, just off the theater room, opens directly into the gated yard. Your dog can let themselves out for fresh air and a sniff around while you settle in for movie night. Heading out to explore without them? Please crate your pup while you're away, and keep them off the beds and furniture during your stay. It's the kind of setup that makes the whole family, furry members included, feel right at home.
With space for 18 and a walled, gated setting that keeps the whole stay private, Exeter House works as easily for a multigenerational reunion as it does for a golf weekend or a winter escape into the Arizona sun. Access is through a private gate, and your gate code will be shared before arrival.

When visitors aren't playing golf, which truly is incredible here, they can enjoy year-round sunshine, hiking in the Sonoran Desert, kayaking on the Lower Salt River, and touring the Bradshaw Mountains on ATVs.
