This is an excellent rental with very communicative hosts. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Fun house for a family gathering - lots of games and a great pool/hot tub. Not too far from town, but far enough for privacy, hiking trails, relaxing. Really great hosts!
We loved the location, with hiking access so close to enjoy the desert. The neighborhood was quiet with beautiful views. A beautiful new kitchen with all the amenities you need, a great secure backyard that our golden retriever enjoyed, very comfortable home. Rene was promptly responsive if we had questions or needed anything. I would choose her rental again when we return!
Above all we look for a clean home with wonderful beds and that is what was received. The home was comfortable and the outdoor living was great! The pool was used almost everyday. We had everything we needed to cook our meals at home if we felt so inclined as well. Rene was very attentive, making sure our stay was perfect including advice on restaurants and biking the loop etc.
