About this property

Welcome to SmokeTree Resort and Bungalows

SmokeTree Resort and Bungalows stands as a rare gem in the ever-changing landscape of American hospitality. Nestled at 7101 E Lincoln Dr in Scottsdale, Arizona, this family-owned resort effortlessly blends old-fashioned charm with thoughtful modern amenities. With a solid 4.3-star rating, it offers a welcoming retreat for travelers seeking comfort, tranquility, and authenticity.

The resort’s layout is inviting and unique: each guest enjoys their own bungalow, opening directly onto lush, shaded green spaces. These personal patios, complete with cozy chairs, create a sense of peace and privacy that is increasingly hard to find. The grounds themselves are a masterpiece of mature landscaping, evoking a quiet oasis that contrasts sharply with the nearby urban bustle.

Guests frequently praise the spacious and comfortable rooms. Though some are dated in style, the presence of practical amenities like refrigerators and coffee makers sustains a homey, lived-in feel. Beyond the rooms, SmokeTree Resort offers an array of thoughtful extras: a heated outdoor pool, complimentary bicycles with helmets, a half-court basketball court, and even classic lawn games such as horseshoes and bocce ball. For visitors, the proximity to the Scottsdale Silverado Golf Club, just a mile away, and the Pavilions at Talking Stick, 2 miles distant, adds layers of convenience and enjoyment.

The resort embodies a quiet, family-friendly atmosphere that resonates deeply with its guests. This is a place where time seems to slow, creating space for genuine rest and connection.

Wow. This is one of those old-fashioned resorts that are disappearing from the American landscape. The rooms are very comfortable and large, although a bit dated. The grounds are beautiful and there is a lovely heated swimming pool. They have horseshoes and bocce ball and it is close to Great stores and restaurants. I wish we had been able to stay for a week. I truly loved this place. Oh, the best part is that it is very pet-friendly! I am sad to report this wonderful, historic,resort has closed! Shame on Scottsdale.

Smoketree Resort is an older resort owned and managed by a family. Each room opens on a large shaded green area, each with a patio and chairs. It’s a restful, quiet place to stay, and it’s our local favorite. There are refrigerators and coffee makers in the rooms, and there is a upscale grocery store nearby. Prices are significantly lower than other Scottsdale/Paradise Valley resorts or motels. It doesn’t look impressive from the road since there is a closed restaurant in the front, but once you drive around to the rooms, you find a sweet and restful retreat.

This place is a hidden gem! Each room is a personal bungalow, the grounds are breathtaking and the service is top-notch! The landscaping is green and mature- I almost forgot I was in Phoenix! It has a family atmosphere that makes you instantly feel comfortable. There are complimentary bikes (and helmets!) a half-court basketball court, a little home-like gym packed full of any equipment you can imagine and a small pool that is nestled in a beautiful gated area that has grills and comfy lounge areas that make it easy to forget the world outside. And we stayed for less than $100/night! I was blown away that I didn’t even know this place existed and fell in love with it almost instantly. We already extended our stay and will definitely be returning again!

I am devastated this place is not open right now! I wanted to ask them for a long-term rental in a specific bungalow that I love. I have no idea how to get a hold of anyone there now it's been a while since I've been back there. You can't ask for a better place to stay. The location it's perfect, the grounds are beautiful, in my opinion, perfect and so is Managment. I stayed there many times during the process of looking for a place in Scottsdale , with my little dog Suki end it was almost like staying on a private residence, a beautiful private residence. There was no fence around the pool or anything yucky like that it was just absolutely gorgeous I love it so much. I stayed in different bungalows, which is great about this place they're all different and you can have full kitchen amenities, the beds are super comfortable, good water pressure in the showers, fruit trees, Mountain views, close to all the restaurants and shopping that's a matter fact one of the finest steak houses in town is right across the street. I'm telling you, if you like quiet ,remote , family feeling accommodations ,this is it. If you guys get a chance to read this please contact me I want to be updated on what's going on if you don't mind, thank you, Loyal residents, J'aime & Suki' Del Vecchio
