We found the home to be beautiful and spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. The pool is not heated. We did enjoy the hot tub. However, the property felt tired and in need of a deep clean. The pool area had worn and some broken furniture, and most of the pool toys and umbrellas were unusable. In the kitchen, the skillets were in poor condition, and the dishwasher didn’t work during our stay. The host did offer to send a handyman. We also noticed ants on the island and cobwebs above the sinks. With some maintenance and a thorough cleaning, this could be a great stay.”

Hidden Gem in a Desert Community
The pictures are exactly what the house looks like. It was large, roomy and I love all the Spanish accents tiles and decor. The pool is amazing, and the largest I’ve seen. Star gazing at night is something to experience. This house has it all if you’re looking for a get away, plus a golf course within the neighborhood! Would definitely come back again, thank you for opening your home up to us!

Great Rams Hill House
This is a lovely property with a good view, a nice outdoor pool area and good living space. The main bedroom has a comfortable bed (did not sleep in the others) and the kitchen is adequately stocked with what you need although we did not really do any cooking. Rams Hill is a great, quiet community. Nice for relaxing and enjoying nearby hikes and the desert nature.

Artfully decorated desert sanctuary with amazing views
I loved everything about this house! The bed was so comfortable, the outdoor seating as well. If you love beautiful desert views and stargazing, this place has two lovely outdr areas that allow views in all directions. I felt very safe inside the gated community. And it was so quiet and peaceful. The host was delightful to communicate with.

Amazing getaway
Amazing and beautiful home. Well maintained and fully stocked with all the necessary in the kitchen. Melissa was very helpful and responded immediately with any questions or concerns. The beautiful pool was well kept and so was the hot tub. Plenty of outdoor space with beautiful views to the stars at night. All the bedrooms were well appointed and had their own bathroom. Spacious living room with big screen smart TV. Plenty of parking for up to 3 cars. The house is in a gated community but acess was friendly and easy. Highly recommend this beautiful oasis.

Nice place
Nice place, we enjoyed it a lot. Only issue was that we found two scorpions on the floor of the bedroom when we woke up the first morning. We killed them right away and it was no big deal, but it could’ve been a big deal if our dog had found them first. Or if a family with small children were the renters, instead of us.
