Where to Stay in Scottsdale for Thanksgiving: Our Local Guide

The best Thanksgiving in Scottsdale starts with a house that fits everyone. One kitchen big enough for the turkey and the sides, one table where the whole family sits together, and a backyard with a heated pool for the days in between. That’s exactly what our Scottsdale homes are built for.

At Endless Stays, every home in our Scottsdale collection sleeps 12 to 22 guests and comes with a private pool, and each one is hand-picked, vetted, inspected, and cleaned before every stay. With a 4.9 average rating across more than 23,000 reviews, our homes are where families come back to holiday after holiday. Below are the homes we recommend most for Thanksgiving, matched to the size of your group and the kind of holiday you want.

Find Your Thanksgiving Home Fast

If your group is 18 guests or more, start with the Scottsdale Theater Resort, the Dream Scottsdale Resort, or the HUGE Scottsdale Resort. If everyone needs to sit at one table, Scottsdale Sportscape seats 16 in its dining room. If you want to walk to dinner or the holiday lights after the meal, our Old Town homes put you about 5 minutes away. And if your family wants mountain views and a slower pace, the Fountain Hills estate is the one. Every home links straight to its booking page, so you can check your dates as you read.

Homes Where the Fun Is Built In

Thanksgiving is often the one time of year the whole family is in the same place. The kids are out of school, the adults are off work, and the usual routine of screens, errands, and separate schedules finally takes a break. A home with amenities you won’t find anywhere else turns that time into real time together. Nobody needs to plan outings or split into cars when the movie night, the volleyball rematch, and the margaritas by the fireplace are all right at home.

Scottsdale Theater Resort

Sleeping 22 guests across 5 bedrooms, this is the largest home in our Scottsdale collection, and its private theater room makes it one of a kind. After the meal, the whole family can settle in for the afternoon football games or a holiday movie marathon together. Two dining rooms seat 14, with outdoor dining for the kids’ table. Two game rooms with a pool table, air hockey, and shuffleboard, plus mini golf, a basketball and pickleball court, a heated pool, and a hot tub fill the rest of the weekend. Guests rate it 4.8 stars across 165 reviews.

Scottsdale Sportscape

For the family where everything turns into a competition, Scottsdale Sportscape has basketball, pickleball, and volleyball courts in one backyard. That’s room for a Thanksgiving tournament that ends with bragging rights at dinner, and the dining room seats 16, so the whole group eats together. The home sleeps 16 across 5 bedrooms, with a heated pool, a hot tub, mini golf, a fire pit with an outdoor fireplace, arcade games, and a jungle gym for the youngest guests.

It sleeps 12 across 4 bedrooms and is rated 4.8 stars across 184 reviews.

It’s the kind of space where the adults gather for a drink while the kids take over the putting green. A dining room for 8 plus counter and outdoor seating handles the feast, and two separate game rooms give every generation its own corner. It sleeps 12 across 4 bedrooms.
