Maricopa Stay

Overall, the house and location is great. This is our second time staying at the Maricopa River Resort. The location is perfect for what we enjoy doing, fishing, paddle boarding and tubing. However, we did have a few issues with the house. When we arrived, we noticed there was leftover trash around parts of the house. Soda bottles under the bed, candy wrappers on the couch, there was a pill on the floor of one of the bedrooms. We do wish that the lighting was different in the house, I feel like having brighter bulbs would help light up inside a lot. The biggest issue was the AC on the last night of our stay. It would not cool down at all, so our last night and morning of was pretty rough. Vacay Hill Country is a great company and I really enjoy using you for our yearly trips.

Great location!

Stayed the 1st weekend in September 2019. The house was a great size for a big group and the location was perfect. We could easily walk to several tube rental places. There was an issue with one of the toilets and they came and fixed it right away. Would stay here again.

Great stay!

We had 8 people including 4 children under 10 stay for a weekend and the house was great. The kids loved the riverfront access and the backyard. Only small complaint would be there was no tv or streaming box available, but there is WiFi, so bring a device if you want any live tv. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay!
