This place was amazing! Kristie is by far one of the BEST hosts and goes above and beyond for her guests adding personal touches and making sure the home is stocked with everything you need. The home itself is super cozy and in such a convenient place - close to everything you may want/need - and the backyard is heavenly on those hot days. We will definitely be returning to this home in the future!
We loved our stay in this clean nice home! We appreciated the supplies in the closet that my kids forgot such as toothbrushes and toothpaste- that was a nice touch!
Loved the house! Kristie was awesome and she checked in on us to make sure we were ok when we had bad weather. Everything was well stocked and super comfortable and clean! Would stay here again.
Truly one of the best experiences we've had with a host! So, so responsive and friendly. We plan to stay again when we visit family this time next year!

We loved staying at this house! The beds were comfy, the house was beautiful and the location made it easy to get to a variety of activities. The owner (Kristie) did an amazing job with communication and made sure the house was equipped with everything we needed!
Had a wonderful time and Kristie our host was fantastic. The house was well stocked with supplies we needed. The beds were super comfortable and the house was located in a quiet neighborhood.

The back yard is as advertised, very nice. The house was perfect for our needs.
We had a great time. The house is centrally located and was perfect for us. It's in a quiet, well kept neighborhood with all you could possibly need is close by. There is so much to do and see, all within a short drive and the Grand Canyon is a good day trip. Great experience and will definitely stay there again if we come back to the area.

We appreciate your feedback and will have our team promptly address the cleaning issue, as maintaining a spotless and comfortable space is our top priority.
The house is so nice, comfy beds, nice sheets, great shower heads. The rooms are nice sized. Loved the robes, comfy blankets well stocked kitchen. Beautiful yard.
Thank you for sharing your home.
We wanted to be in a neighborhood for the holidays near our friends, and this house could not have been a better home away from home. Everything you could possibly need was available and we were able to also bring our dog and enjoy the yard.

Thank you for your great review, we look forward to having you back next winter!
Great yard, especially for our dogs. Nice, quiet neighborhood with sidewalks for dog walking. Beds were comfortable. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. The ceiling fans were appreciated and a great addition to the air conditioning in the hot weather.
We went for a last minute visit with family. The property was very comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor area. My 25 year old son, said that it was his perfect home. The details were appreciated.
The house was perfect for our needs and the owners added so many extra touches to really make us feel "at home." The backyard was spectacular. Although the pool water was too cold for swimming, we truly enjoyed the fire pit, the sun, and the TV by the fire table. One of our best rental experiences.

Thanks so much for your great review, Valerie! We loved hosting you and thank you for taking great care of our property. Can you believe I had people swimming in the pool a couple weeks ago!? Though, I agree, it's still a bit chilly in early March.

Hi Everyone!
I love my home and I love to travel. I decided that I'd list my home for rent so others could enjoy it and I could also enjoy the world. When I'm not in Phoenix I'm off traveling the US and Canada in my RV with my pups.
I take pride in my home and I'm sure you'll love staying here. It is set up 100% as a vacation rental and I'm available to make sure your stay is 100% perfect.
I was born in Michigan, but moved out to Arizona over 10 Years ago. Arizona is an amazing state and there is so much to explore. Tell me why you're in town and I'll help you find the best that we have to offer.
