We really enjoyed the accommodations! Very clean and tidy. Would stay again! Pool very clean but we weren’t able to enjoy as much as we would like because of cooler temps and no heater, but still able to enjoy sitting around the pool sun bathing. Conveniently located !

Absolutely loved this property!! House was very cozy and well decorated! Plenty of space for our family of 4. Clean inside and out with all the extras we needed. Neighborhood felt safe. Dog-friendly for sure with fenced back yard! Loved the pool and comfortable outdoor furniture! House is on the edge of town so quick access to Tombstone and the National Park.
