The property is very nice. The game room was the seller for me and it did not disappoint. I was very impressed at how well the games have been maintained. The inside of the property was very clean, but we had to clean all the furniture and the equipment in the grill area in order to use them. In the desert I'm sure that is a challenge. The pool and the outside property were very nice.It was disappointing that the ice maker and the water dispenser in the kitchen did not work and were in the locked mode. In the desert, we rely on good cold water with the late summer heat. It would have been helpful to be told about that so we could have brought ice and bottled water with us rather than having to run to the store to stock up after our arrival, especially with a property at this price level.Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Great home, just outside the Boulders

The home is lovely with plenty of room. We loved the fitness room and the pool is completely private from neighbors. The kitchen is well equipped and the movie room is cool! The location is close to the Boulders Resort, golf, Cave Creek and Carefree downtown. I would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing escape

Came here with our 4 children for a start of summer vacation. We hiked Sedona and Grand Canyon prior to arriving here and spent the next two days relaxing by the pool and playing in the game room. Our kids were beyond happy and was a perfect place to spend quality time together :). House was beautiful. Thank you!

50th birthday girls weekend

The house was beautiful and just the right size for my 50th birthday weekend. Well stocked and very clean. We really enjoyed the beautiful sunrises on the rooftop deck with the gas fire pit. Then enjoyed the sunsets at the other fire pit. We planned a pool day on the last day. We didn’t pay to heat it but it was perfect temperature. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star is because the pool spa was not heated. We did contact the management who was able to turn it on the last day. But we could not turn on the pool lights or jets because the IPad (that controlled all of that) wouldn’t connect for some reason. I spent a lot of time trying to get it to work but it would never connect. Other than that, a great stay!
