The house was well equipped with everything we needed and the large fenced property was a treat. We loved the hot tub, sauna, and outdoor area.

My son really wanted to stay in the desert during his break and luckily we found the perfect place. The house was modern and very clean with an amazing sauna! The yard had plenty of amenities that kept the little ones busy while the parents found pockets of time to rest on the hammocks. There are plenty of picturesque places to take great pictures, also. All in all, this is a great home for a family trip. You have everything you need on site plus you’re close to several attractions. ##### DeMarquis Y.

Apr 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spring Break in the Desert My 11-year-old grandson LOVED this property. He and his mom slept in the Airstream trailer, which he thought was so cool! We also had a great time playing with the huge Jenga game that is on the patio. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals. We brought a lot of food since the property is located outside of town, and we were glad we did. Jimmy was so helpful and responsive to all my questions, and the house had everything we needed and more. If I had one wish, it would be for a bigger spa. Looking forward to next time! ##### Donna D.

I have been doing vacation rentals for about 10 years, this place is by far the best one yet. James was easy to contact and he explained everything you would need to know about the property. This property is so peaceful it was pretty much the topic of most conversations. Whenever I have a need to be in this area, this the I will be. Thank You...

This was a beautiful property! The home was immaculate and decorated in a very clean, not overcrowded and comfortable manner! They had LIVE plants, which I LOVED! The quality of the furnishings, bedding and towels was wonderful! It was very calm and peaceful! Directions and access were clear and we loved the gates to the property, making us feel even more relaxed. The property is out of town a bit, but for us that was a plus! We usually have to work some while we travel and the quiet of this place was great! It is only about 10 - 15 minutes from the new Acrisure Arena, making it a great place to stay for hockey or music events! The owners were very responsive and I would highly recommend this place! The master bed was also very comfortable! ##### Tara A.
