The pictures of this property, as great as they look, don't do it justice. This house is a beauty. Decorated lovely with signs of inspiration and happiness throughout. Gives you that welcome home feeling. The pool and hot tub were great, as was the pool table. There is plenty of room to socialize and chill in and out the house. All of this was made better by and outstanding host. Thank You Kim. If I'm in Phoenix again, this is my choice.

Great place to stay!
We had an awesome time in Arizona staying at Kim’s place. Kim’s house had all of the things we would ever need and then some. The guest book was very informative and answered any lingering questions you may have. Anything that we came across that wasn’t in the book Kim was happy to answer quite speedily. We had some technology troubles but Kim was on top of it and had it fixed for us within the day.

Fun & Relaxing Family Vacation
We had a wonderful family vacation at this property in New River. The house was clean and spacious for 6 adults, furnished with comfortable beds and furniture. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking & eating meals. House had many basic starter amenities. Enjoyed several games of pool as well as the amazing outdoor space, utilizing the hot tub, pool and firepit/heaters. The pictures shown online are an exact depiction of the home. Set in a nice quiet neighborhood, about 10 minutes from restaurants and shopping. Excellent communication with owners with quick response time. Thanks you Kim & Dennis for sharing your wonderful home. We would definitely look into renting this property again if we get back to the Phoenix area. Many great memories made!

Christmas in Phoenix
We had great stay at this property during Christmas 2022. The house is well equipped and this has one of the nicest yards we’ve ever rented. Dealing with the owners was great. The only downside is you need to drive to everything from the property which is in New River. On the map, it appeared closer to the outlet malls but it is not walkable to my knowledge. All in all it was great.

Very close to so many things to do , Hunting, hiking, trail riding , fishing , swimming to name a few.The pool was perfectly heated even when it was cold out & our family really enjoyed the swimming even at night in the 50’s..

The house and property are very well maintained and comfortable! The kitchen is well stocked and made it easy for us to cook together as a family and grill outside. The large number of beach towels and pool toys were a nice bonus as well. We had a small issue with the pool but the owners were extremely responsive and acted as quickly as possible to fix the issue, couldn't have asked for more! I would highly recommend this property for families and larger friend groups. The house feels very spacious and is laid out perfectly so that everyone has their own area while still being all together in one place.

We have stayed in probably a dozen VRBO properties including several in Phoenix area and this was by far the best experience. Everything was simply perfect. Loved the location away from the hustle and bustle and the trails close by. The pool and hot tub and outdoor area were amazing. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Very well stocked home with great amenities. Excellent communication. Couldn’t ask for a better vacation! We hope to be back!
