Home in Phoenix, Arizona

Built in 1918 and reimagined with a modern, resort-like feel, Worth the Wait Ranch is Arizona history done differently. Set on 1.3 acres in a convenient North Phoenix location near golf, dining, and major freeways, The Manor features expansive interiors, a massive private backyard, indoor pickleball & basketball, a resort-style pool, mini golf, fire pit, billiards, and space to gather—or disappear. Designed by a nationally recognized designer and intentionally overbuilt for unforgettable stays.

This listing is for Worth the Wait Ranch’s main house, The Manor. When you book The Manor, all outdoor areas—including the pool, lawn, and outdoor amenities—are exclusively yours for the duration of your stay.

The property includes additional accommodations that are managed separately, but they are not occupied during Manor reservations and do not share access to any indoor or outdoor spaces. The Manor functions as a fully private, standalone retreat.

Worth the Wait Ranch includes the main house (this listing) and two separate casitas located beyond the main residence.

Guest spaces are fully private and intentionally separated. The owner resides in one casita and does not interact with guests during their stay.

We respect privacy above all else. Guests should expect a self-guided, uninterrupted experience. We are available via messaging if questions arise, and may access exterior areas only if necessary for maintenance, deliveries, or emergencies.

Otherwise, you won’t see us—and that’s by design.
