Susan and Dan have created the perfect space for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. They thought of everything that would make us feel a sense of belonging from the moment we opened the door. The home is beautifully decorated inside and out. We loved sitting by the pool and using the hot tub. They even set up a fire for us so we could enjoy the stars. The location is perfect if you want to be close to everything without being right in the city. We can’t wait to visit again. ##### Alisha H.

This felt like a home away from home. It was exactly what we needed to decompress from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas. Not only did it have everything we needed to make the stay enjoyable, but the hospitality was great. I would definitely stay here again every time I visited, and even plan a trip just for this place. ##### dewine r. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy D.
