    The house was impeccably clean, well-maintained, and perfectly situated in a peaceful, cozy location. The jacuzzi worked flawlessly, offering the perfect spot to unwind and relax. Sleeping here was a real pleasure — a comfortable bed, fresh air, and complete quiet created the ideal atmosphere for rest. Every detail in the house was thoughtfully arranged, making the stay feel warm, welcoming, and truly special.

    Just What We Wanted

    This house was just perfect for our quick weekend away! Everything was great and the house and surrounding property were very clean and well maintained. The location was great as we didn’t want to stay “in town”. We hope to book again in the future!

    This place was great. The wife and I now live in Havasu and it’s always HOT! A peaceful few days in the mountains in this cozy cabin was just what the doctor ordered. The fireplace was great! It had a full kitchen complete with any pots and pans you may need. The washer and dryer on site was a nice touch, The WiFi was easy to use. We loved the front porch and the backyard is amazing! It had a gas grill that we didn’t mange to use, a propane fire pit, nice lights, and the hot tub! The owner was also very easy to reach and communicate with! I would definitely stay here again!

    Great Time!

    Girlfriend and I had a great stay, back patio has room for the dog to play. The hot tub was nice under the stars and the fire pit was gas powered, so no permit required and no restriction to use. The place had plenty of games and corn hole which was also nice.
