Blissful Backyard Retreat, Mesa, AZ
When is the best time to visit Mesa, Arizona for a group stay at Blissful Backyard Retreat?
Spring is the busiest season at Blissful Backyard Retreat in Mesa, Arizona, when spring break trips, Cactus League spring training, sports weekends, and multigenerational family gatherings fill the calendar, snowbird stays run December through March, and the private heated pool is open all year.
Winter is the reason this backyard exists. Swimsuits in January. The heater keeps the pool in the low to mid 70s through the winter months, the adobe fireplace takes the evenings, and Cactus League spring training brings baseball to the Valley in February and March, with ballparks nearby. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's carry a 4 night minimum, so book those early.
Spring and fall are the trail seasons. Usery Mountain's Wind Cave Trail is about 15 minutes away, Goldfield Ghost Town is about 25 minutes east, and Saguaro Lake is about 30 minutes for kayaking and wild horse sightings. Spring and fall weekends fill early, and Schnepf Farms runs seasonal U pick and festivals about 35 minutes away.
Summer is pool season and heat season. Arizona heat is intense, so mornings go to the trail and afternoons go to the water. The pool swims best in spring, summer, and early fall, and Salt River Tubing runs May through September about 25 minutes away. Indoors, central air runs throughout, and keeping the blinds closed by day helps the vaulted rooms stay cool. Rainy or too hot days have Fat Cats, the Mesa Arts Center, the i.d.e.a. Museum, and Golfland Sunsplash about 15 minutes away.
Whatever the month, the pool table, the smart TVs, the covered patio, and the heated pool are all yours.
