This property is not only beautiful, it is fully stocked with all the comforts of home. Perfect space for our two families of four and plenty for the kids to do. Also had an easy check in process. Thank you for sharing your home. We can’t wait to come back! ##### Rhonda H. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan B.

Huge yard for kids to play in, basketball court, game room with ping pong and pool. Fantastic. Group size was 13 people and the house still felt spacious. Mass was great as well… highly recommended ##### Ryan B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan E.

Wonderful setting and close to outdoor activities. Basketball, and plenty of games for the kids to do. Cons- We had 14 people staying at this home and there were not enough towels to use. The ones that were provided were not comfortable or a good size for adults. ##### Ryan E. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MIKE R.

I wanted a place that was suitable for the grandchildren and my father. Place was perfect! We had a wonderful time in this gorgeous home. Plenty of house and yard space against the woods. Went up to Snow Bowl and took the gondola ride to the top to see the majestic views below. Property management were professional and a pleasure to work with. I live two hours away. Will gdefinitely be back! Thank you! ##### MIKE R. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark A.

It has everything you need for a great weekend retreat especially for a bigger group or family. I will say you need to know that only 4 cars can be visible in the driveway at any given time or the neighbors complain. We were able to put two in the garage and leave 4 out front. Cell service is really bad as well because you are basically at the bottom of Snow Bowl. Two minor details to what otherwise was a great stay. Thanks for having us. ##### Mark A.

Mar 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### “El Ranch” review and suggestions Overall an amazing property with spectacular views of snowbowl. The description of the house is spot on. As a frequent VRBO renter, I always want to provide positive criticism to help out the owner. The master bedroom windows have absolutely NO coverings so if your planning on sleeping in on your vacation, your dead wrong. The only space provided for your pantry items is 2 small cupboards, we had to use the nook table and countertops for chips, snacks, etc. The kitchen pantry door is locked!!! DO NOT ATTEMPT to grill anything unless they clean the bbq, flare up after flare up due to past grease. Lastly, we had to buy our own bath towels as only one per room was provided. Overall could easily be a 5 star plus rental if the owner made some minor adjustments to the house which I hope they do. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to be close to the ski resort but just outside of town. ##### Lou M. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Adam H. Feb 13, 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Could’ve been better The location of the property is great, close snowbowl so if you’re skiing or snowboarding it’s great but the property itself could use a lot of upgrading especially when you’re paying roughly $1300 a night after fees. To start, the beds are probably the worst beds i’ve ever slept on, no one in our group got a good night sleep, we found sleeping on the floor was actually more comfortable, secondly the fire pit outside was completely filled with snow, all the chairs were left outside and covered with snow and ice, the host knew we arriving weeks in advance, chairs could’ve been put inside and pit could’ve been cleaned out or covered. Also the fire pit itself is pretty much falling apart, we didn’t feel safe having the kids around it from how damaged it is, and lastly the place can use deep cleaning, dishes were still dirty and had food stains, no tv’s in the living room to watch the super bowl, we just didn’t find a single room that was comfortable from the game room to the living rooms to even the bedrooms. the grill outside is completely filthy and covered in grease, it’s impossible to grill without having all the grease on the bottom ignite into flames and when you ignite the grill with the push button it actually shocks you, i would probably change that asap. Overall for the price it’s definitely not worth it not even close. ##### Adam H. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Marcus K. Jul 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good experience, not excellent Overall a good experience and we will try other properties next time were in flagstaff. This property did not have AC and in the summer the house was warmer than we'd like. For the location, size, daily cost, and overall quality a property like this should have AC in Arizona and the fact the investors have not contributed to that yet is very much a loss - win situation. They need to spend the 15 - 20K investment and the property would be significantly better. The bedrooms upstairs (which is all of them besides the master downstairs) did not cool off enough at night. Many of the children had a hard time sleeping during our 3-night visit. Also, they provide very few towels and toilet paper. What a funny thing to skimp on... and there are some minor maintenance things needed but not worth listing out. All things together make it seem the owners/investors are most interested on profits and not sustainable long-term practices. After fees we paid over $1,000 per night. I will absolutely pay that again but at a different location and I'll make sure to ask questions to have these concerns addressed ahead of time next time. As for renting this home again, it is unlikely they'll have a returning customer here due to the issue listed. It might seem minor but for this type of money these minor comforts should not become an issue. ##### Marcus K. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer H. Dec 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Terrible Beds I would love to give our stay a perfect review however, the beds were awful. I assumed it was just the primary, but soon found out everybody else's beds were broke down and terrible. I saw a review about how awful the beds were, and assumed they had been switched out... I was wrong. We had six nights of awful sleep, and people waking up with neck/back pain daily. Otherwise, the house was incredible and met all of our needs! New mattresses would have made this home 5 stars. Would rent again only if this problem was rectified. Good sleep is too important. Such an easy fix. Great views, games to play, and perfect location. ##### Jennifer H. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt B.

Mass the property manager was great in notifying me and getting an alternate property set up as we were en route. Even though the replacement property was more per night than the original property, Mass honored the original price and made sure we got an early check in. Overall great experience that could’ve been much worse. ##### Matt B. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Harley T.
