We had such a wonderful stay at this property! There are covered sitting areas both front and back so there are beautiful mountain views (Tortolitas in back, Catalinas in front) under shade or in sun any time of day. In addition to the 3 bedrooms, there were 2 living areas and an office so plenty of room for everyone to relax - the kitchen was great, the place was super clean and we had everything we needed. Was very nice to park in garage on hot days too! Very quiet other than sounds of many birds and occasionally coyotes, we saw a desert cottontail regularly and even a javelina once!
Incredible views! We loved being able to see two mountain ranges from the house, which made for some epic sunrise and sunset views. And the house was very spacious.We had a few small hiccups during our stay: we didn't receive the check-in instructions in advance, but thankfully the host was very responsive when we called upon our arrival and helped us get in quickly. The house was somewhat sparsely furnished (no chairs in the bedrooms, no coffee table in the living room, only half a box of tissues provided, many lamps were unplugged when we arrived). Though there were plenty of kitchen utensils, there were no cooking basics in the kitchen (salt & pepper, cooking oil, coffee, sugar, plastic bags, etc.). And the bedsheets were mostly polyester.
