"My husband and I stayed at Sunset Ranch in 2020 and had a great stay...so much so we booked it again. This place is located in the neighborhood but feels very secluded on the acre lot and you're facing an open plain with a beautiful view and a great opportunity to catch some amazing sunsets. This place is well appointed throughout, too many great things to list. The listing gives a great detailed description. We appreciate the builtin indoor/outdoor speakers, dark roast coffee beans, great...

The view of the surrounding mountains was beautiful. My grandchildren and I enjoyed the nature walking path located right outside our door. Our unit was set up perfectly for our dogs. The backyard was secure and the back door had a doggie door for easy access. The fence is low though, so I wouldn’t advice...

Cactus Cabin with skydeck
8.4 out of 10, Very good, 29 reviews
"There were several good things about this place. The sky deck was very enjoyable. The little "cabin" is cute. The location is great for someone who needs to walk a dog. The owner made check in very easy. However, the bathroom floor and shower were not clean. (We wore our shoes) The microwave had to be moved and the top of it and the fridge were filthy. It was dirty behind the trash and in the corners of the room. The sheets and bedding didn't seem clean. We gave this place a 4 anyway because...

Chic Tiny Home Close to Everything @ Casa Paloma
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, 12 reviews
"This tiny home was exactly what we were looking for while we stayed the night in Alpine. Everything was as expected and even better. Communication with Kimberly was great. The only thing I’d say is that the outside tables are a bit small for tall people and they were a bit loose but overall still a great little outdoor area and we took advantage of the fire pit which was great too! The water heater for the shower is a bit tricky as well so maybe some instructions on that and the AC would be...
