Short stay

My kids and I stayed here for a few days to see our snow bird family. This house was clean and had lot of room. There was a holiday gift basket waiting for us and a small dish of danishes. My kids loved playing the games especially pool. We had a blast staying here and would highly recommend this place!

Cozy stay

The place is very out dated but we loved it. Very 70s. Nice layout to entertain. The neighborhood is alittle run down but the overall stay was great. Cul-de-sac is abit tight but we made due with 3 trucks and boats so it very doable. Location is is close to everything so that part was great. We will probably book again sometime.

Thank you Brandon for the well deserved 5 Star review! The listing title is listed as a 1970's Hidden Gem and it truly is! This was our intent so we're glad you liked it. Yes it is Parker and the neighborhood is what it is. After all we are all River Rats lol. The city design of the streets are a bit tight but you get the whole cul-de-sac to park in totaling 4 lots. As you stated 3 boats and trucks you made it work which I'm so glad you did. Take note that there is much more space for motorhomes, trailers, boats, all your toys! Thanks again and I hope to see you again soon. Take care!

Just what was needed

The location was great for what we needed it is truly the 70s all works comfortable beds and rooms kitchen clean well stocked ,things should be fixed dinning chairs should be adjusted not to wobble along with master toilet. Front steps need to be replaced and railing weak living room coffee table leg is falling off . Bar and pool table nice

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Apr 2025
At any time during your stay you could have contacted us but you did not. I would have been happy to address any issues. The handrailing is brand new and does not wobble. In fact it's made of 2x6's, 4x4's and 2x4's all bolted to the concrete and the porch platform. It is extremely sturdy. This is the first complaint about the furniture or the outdoor steps. Including the first four star review all of which I feel is disingenuous. Of course I will happily look into everything and make sure it is still a five star stay as others have reported. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Greg

Host profile image

I'm from Southern California but I've been coming to the river my whole life. I currently live in northern Arizona a few hours away from this property. I'm semi-retired from working in land development and geology.

Why they chose this property

I enjoy the quietness of the neighborhood and the fact that it's a cul-de-sac home for privacy at the end of the cul-de-sac and that I own the entire bubble of the cul-dec so you have plenty of privacy and no one staring at you from a distance lol. Not to mention the boat ramp is close and so is shopping everything is right here.

What makes this property unique

You're renting my personal vacation home, that my wife personally cleans. It is very spacious at 2000 square feet that's the biggest comment everyone makes is the amount of room. We provide a ton of amenities from food, drinks, basic cooking supplies, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, sunscreen, sunglasses, flip-flops, towels, toiletries, everything you could think of. The amount of parking for two properties is immense. I try to point out that you won't find that at any of our competitors around the neighborhood. Every detail you find is a detail directly from us to you as this is our family run property.
