Strains of classic rock waft into the desert air and Arizona sunshine slants across photo-ready rooms at this picturesque Scottsdale retreat. Though it’s inspired both by mid-century cool and the natural textures of the rugged landscape outside, this boutique inn has its own point of view. The location is just as enviable, a few minutes’ drive from outdoor shopping and dining.

The villa sits amid an oasis designed by landscape architect Donna Winters, where cacti bring a spiky desert element poolside and trailing vines hang over the alfresco dining area. Water features add a spa-like soundtrack, but you can supply your own from the curated record collection in the den inside.

Step through a custom-crafted door to the open-concept great room. Stone floors are a soft, natural counterpoint to the sleekness of the fully equipped kitchen and its breakfast bar. Make memories around a dining table for 6 and unwind on a deep sofa.

Though the villa’s cinder-block walls make it feel like a haven, keeping the rest of the world out, it’s only a short drive to an outdoor complex where you’ll find plenty of shopping and dining options. Take a ride-share to visit Frank Lloyd Wright’s Talies in West campus or to play on one of the area’s golf courses, where lush fairways spread out against a backdrop of the mountains.
