For the golf aficionados out there, you will find a 7-hole putting green to hone your putting skills all while taking in panoramic mountain views (putters and balls available)

        Great yard and location.
        We had a nice time. The property manager was always available and prompt in her responses I was worried before our arrival about the pool temp; as we had children with us that wanted to swim they made sure the poo was nice and warm when we arrived!! My mistake, in booking, was not noticing there are no on suite bathrooms. We had to share. We are family, so it was kind of ok. But just an fyi. Also, the pool is small. Four of the people that were supposed to be there, could not come. There were just nine of us. If the other family had been there and the weather was warm. It would have been a tight fit it the pool. The house is older. It was clean, which is super important to us!! It had everything you need!! The beds could use new mattresses. The location is so great! Pretty desert landscape just out of town. With everything you need 5 min away!! Again, property mgr is great!

        A good time was had by all. However, there were several housekeeping / maintenance issues that were a little offsetting. Like dirty dishes in the cupboard and an end-of-life battery alert in the fire alert system. Expected some kind of compensation from owner or VRBO to recognize us for our coping with these issues, but it never happened.
