La Gruta Luxury Villa: Scenic Mountain Views with Impressive Outdoor Features!

Hidden in the foothills of Camelback Mountain, La Gruta is a modern desert sanctuary where the landscape inspires, the design delights, and every stay feels effortlessly elevated. Named for its grotto-like tranquility and stunning views, this 7-bedroom, 5-bath estate blends the bold elegance of modern architecture with playful, resort-style living.

Here, your group can spread out in style. Start your mornings with a swim in the sun-drenched pool or rally your crew for a friendly match on the private pickleball court. Take in sweeping views of the mountain ridges as you relax beside the fire feature or craft cocktails at your own private bar. Indoors, the home is bathed in natural light from expansive windows that frame the desert like a living canvas.

With ample lounge areas, a putting green, spa, and chef’s kitchen, La Gruta is designed for both celebration and serenity. Whether you’re planning a golf getaway, milestone celebration, or gathering of close friends, this home transforms shared time into unforgettable memories.

Best short term rental I’ve ever stayed in

I’ve stayed at a lot of VRBOs, and other ST rentals and this was by far the nicest property with the best service. There are no asterisks here, if you are looking for a house for a large group where you are close to the action but also a lot to do at the house, this is the place for you

Great rental

Our large group had a great time at this home. Clean and exactly as advertised with all the amenities for kids and adults. Great place with lots of privacy if you plan on spending time at home and in the pool. Communication with property manager could have been better leading up to our stay, sometimes I had to send multiple messages to get a response. Communication during our stay was good. But no issues other than that. I woukd definitely stay here again.

Such a fun property!

We loved staying here. The property was absolutely adorable and the host was awesome. The backyard was a dream. We loved the fun waterfall feature to the pool/spa and all the games in the backyard. Would love to stay here again.
