    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.

    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.
