From the Publishers

Welcome to the December 2010/January 2011 Edition of Forum Magazine!
We are pleased to feature Randy Scarrow and Forestwood Homes of Oakville! Randy is virtually a new kid on the block when it comes to building custom homes, only building for a short time he has already nestled quite nicely and comfortably into the most popular and desirable area of luxury custom homes. Many of his homes within Oakville blend seamlessly with older existing homes and with an incredible background in finance, and Randy's acute sense of service and communication – he is sure to continue to have some very happy clients!

The Hermosa Inn, a boutique hideaway located between Phoenix and Scottsdale is beautifully situated on six acres of lush desert landscape. Inspired by the architecture he studied in Spain and Mexico, cowboy artist Lon Megargee built a one-room adobe studio and residence in the early 1930s. After several additions, his private hacienda was converted into a guest ranch, and eventually an inn. Today, The Hermosa Inn is known for its unmistakable charm and style, the classic adobe dining room, Library, Boardroom and underground Wine Cellar; with a staircase that winds below ground to one of Arizona's most intriguing private dining venues with seating for up to 12 guests and with a collection of nearly 1,000 bottles of award-winning wines. The inn's rustic but luxurious setting filled with Megargee's original artwork and surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery Arizona has to offer provides guests a peek into the past and an experience one will not forget!
