Property was perfect for our needs. Hosts were very responsive and promptly addressed any questions we had. Great location near two golf courses and close to town. Quiet neighborhood was perfect for morning runs.
It was a lovely place to use as a base for hiking in the northern parts of the Tonto NF. It was well stocked and extremely clean, and the bed was mucho-comfortable.
We rented this home because of all the great reviews and wow!!! It was all that and more. Excellent bed in the master, kitchen with absolutely anything you might need- lots of thought was put into everything. A mostly shaded, private backyard and so close to everything!!! We loved it!
I am so grateful for the gracious and welcoming hosts. They were very kind and accommodating for my changing needs. The house is amazing and located in a great neighborhood. Thank you so much!
Great 2 bedroom only a mile from town. Easy 5 minute drive. Felt like a very new space with comfortable furniture and good technology access. Will definitely stay here again when up that way!
We really enjoyed our stay at your property. It was impeccably clean and a great, quiet location. We were very comfortable, the hosts were friendly, great with communication and checking in on us. They had everything we needed to be comfortable. Would definitely stay there again!
We were extremely impressed by the property and the communications with the host. The property, furnishing and, most importantly, the cleanliness, were outstanding. Very comfortable getaway.
We arranged for an early check-in with the owner, as we had to rush off to a wedding rehearsal…my granddaughter was getting married. Unfortunately, the prior renters or the housekeepers, had locked the door from the inside, so my code would not work to allow entry. I called the owner and he was immediately and graciously at ‘the ready’, and guided us through the entry system to get in from the garage. As to the unit, it was clean, inviting and so convenient in location. I would most definitely recommend this VRBO.
We loved our stay. The property, the furnishings and neighborhood are very beautiful. We slept great and enjoyed hanging out as a family. Just a tiny bit of feedback to make it even more amazing…awning in the backyard to stop the furniture from get soaked by the rain and better shower heads. Thank you so much for a lovely stay.
This place was perfect for us. Close to town, but woods around to see wildlife. This placed was furnished with everything you would need. It was modern and neat and clean. We will be staying here again.
Property was very nice. The kitchen was better stocked than any other VRBO I've stayed in. Location was excellent. Having the garage to park in was a great perk.
Beautiful place to stay, kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need! place was very clean, close to many things in town. Sit on the patio and relax at night and look at the stars, listen to birds and animals rustling around. We even seen some elk and coyotes. Would highly recommend.
One of the best VRBO’s we have stayed at . Very clean , extremely well set up with anything you could possibly need. Quiet neighborhood with patio looking out at the beautiful pines which the elk enjoyed visiting . Very comfortable king size bed . Excellent WiFi and streaming. Owners available within minutes to answer questions we had. Hoping to visit again .
So enjoyed the feel of country although close to town. The home was very well equipped with everything you could need.
The owners were very helpful and kind.
Would definitely recommend this home and hope to return in the future.
