Sixteen guests
Two homes side by side in Mesa
Entertainer's Retreat and Lakefront Adventure sit next door to each other on the same quiet circle. Book them together and the group has six bedrooms, four bathrooms, two private pools and two hot tubs.
Why two houses beats one big one
A sixteen person house usually means one kitchen, one bathroom queue in the morning and one television. Two houses next door means two of everything and somewhere to go when the group needs a break from itself. Families with small children put the early sleepers in one house and the late talkers in the other. Couples travelling together each get a front door.
They are genuinely adjacent, not a five minute walk apart. You cross a driveway.
What is in them
- Entertainer's Retreat carries the games: mini golf and a putting green in the yard, an arcade room inside, a private pool and hot tub.
- Lakefront Adventure carries the water and the evening: a private pool and hot tub, a fire pit ringed with chairs, and the lake behind the fence.
Who books it
- Two or three families travelling together over a school break.
- Golf groups and spring training groups who want beds without a hotel corridor.
- Birthdays, reunions and milestone weekends where the group wants a house rather than a venue.
- Work retreats that need a kitchen table long enough to sit around.
Booking the pair
The two houses are also listed on their own, and the calendars are linked, so a booking on either one closes the pair. If you want all sixteen beds, book the pair listing rather than the two houses separately.
House rules for a group this size
Sixteen guests is the maximum and it is a real number, not a soft one. No parties and no events. Quiet hours run 10 pm to 6 am, which the neighbours appreciate and which is part of why these houses are still here.
