A five-night getaway awaits two guests in Scottsdale, Arizona, hometown to tonight's Great Scot honoree Diana Gabaldon.

Stay in a lovely two-story Spanish style home located within The Phoenician East, a gated community in the shadow of Camelback Mountain. This Mediterranean style dwelling is situated on the 2nd hole of the Phoenician Golf Course. Admire the lovely sculpture garden in the backyard and take advantage of the community's semi-private pool and hot tub, located just steps away. Fine and casual neighborhood dining are at your fingertips as well as numerous grocery stores and exotic markets should you wish to stay in. Old Towne Scottsdale, with its numerous galleries, famous art walks, shops, restaurants, and the magnificent Heard Museum are only minutes away. Downtown Phoenix, Cave Creek, McCormick Ranch, Taliesin West are all a short drive. Don't forget your sunscreen. It is, after all, The Valley of the Sun. Tucson and Tombstone are 3-4 hours to the South and the mysticism of Sedona and majestic Grand Canyon 3-4 hours to the North.

For an unforgettable evening filled with stories, Diana Gabaldon and her husband Doug Watkins will join you for dinner at elements at Sanctuary Camelback Mountain, known for farm-fresh cuisine and sweeping views, one night during your stay. Experience all that Scottsdale has to offer, with a private tour of Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and studio, stewarded by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. Built over the winter of 1937-38, comprising 15 complex buildings and nearly 500 acres of land in the City of Scottsdale, Taliesin West is one of eight sites proscribed as UNESCO World Heritage sites representing the depth and breadth of Frank Lloyd Wright's work and legacy across the United States. Then, tee off a round of golf at The Phoenician Golf Course right at your doorstep.

Offer valid through December 31, 2023. Dates subject to availability, to be worked out with owner. Tours and activities subject to availability at a mutually agreeable time. Golf voucher not valid for holidays, or months of February, March, or April.
