Staff was wonderful, and helped us upgrade our room to one that included a jacuzzi, which would have been alittle more enjoyable with a deep clean.

Southwestern style home! We are your home away from home & close to everything.
The place was the cleanest I'd ever seen, and was like staying in a model home. It was close to everything we would ever want to see or do. The owner even had the house warmed up for us when we arrived. Would totally recommend.
