    Amazing stay

    We loved this house. Everything from the pool, hottub, bedrooms, beds, large open house all were great. Other great additions like usb chargers at all beds, outdoor heater, food storage containers and countless towels really helped make the stay worry free. Only very small negative, not at the fault of the home is the location being a little far from most services/activities. But we would take that small sacrifice for how great the place was.

    If you want peace and quiet, you want to stay here. The noisiest neighbors were a donkey and a horse! Host responds quickly - we (9 women) ran out of toilet paper, and were sent some within an hour. Use Google Maps to find property, OnStar sends you down a dead-end.

    Fabulous

    Great house in a wonderful and quiet location near paths through the desert. So many sitting options on the patio. Corn hole was so fun as was floating around in the pool. Sadly, the hot tub did not work but they tried to fix it. Comfortable beds and a very spacious home. Highly recommend.

    The place was wonderful! Perfect for families. The kitchen was fully stocked. Plenty of pots and pans, drip coffee pot as well as a Keurig. The pool was great, too! The slight downsides included 300 to heat the pool (compared to 100 at other vacation rentals for the same length of time), ceiling fan in master bedroom didn’t work, and the pool cleaners showed up without being previously notified (this prevented us from using the pool for multiple hours). These are all minor things - everything else was truly wonderful! Plenty of towels and pool towels, lots of pool floaties to use, outdoor lighting was perfect, and plenty of hot water. We would gladly stay here again!
