Mar 11, 2018 #### Stay at Anthem - Jim’s Place We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jim’s home, the house was well set up and he took the time to show us around provided us with extras such as activities, introduced us to people in the community and made sure that we had everything we needed. He also took the time at the end of our stay to meet with us and ask for any recommendations. Will plan to return to Arizona next winter to enjoy the town and beautiful sunshine. It was a wonderful holiday ##### JOHN S.
