If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Not only does it look exactly like the photos this place was beautiful and well kept. It had everything there that you would need. A great stay and would definitely stay again. Everything is stocked so well and clean. 2 porches, bbq grill, fire pit, hammock etc. They nailed it with this one. It is a must stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. The interior was nice and had everything we needed. The sound system was fantastic. The host was very accommodating. The house just 5 minutes away from the main street that runs through town which was very convenient. The setting was a bit more rural than we expected but the neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful and we really ended up really liking it.

The house was very clean. Appears to be recently remodeled on the inside. The property is fenced and our dog was able to roam around the property of course we were always with her. Watching the sunrises from the upstairs bedroom deck was really nice. Hummingbirds and swallows would fly around the front yard every morning. Don was very responsive. This was the break we needed from the West Valley heat!

Luxury in the pines

The inside of the home is decorated beautifully, updated, and very nice. It is in a quiet neighborhood and we had very comfortable beds. There is a fire pit area outside. You can have a fire if you want or just walk around the surrounding area. The location was nearby other things so that was great.

Great, cozy place!

We loved our stay at this home! The views are amazing and the home is very clean with everything you need. A nice big kitchen and dining table. Love all the windows! There is a big TV downstairs and in the upstairs bedroom. There are three beautiful patios to enjoy the outdoors, including one right off the upstairs bedroom. Very private property with an acre of land and outside seating with a fire pit. We enjoyed a small fire and making s’mores. They even have it decorated for Christmas with a gorgeous tree and had several board games. Feels like home away from home. We can hardly wait to come again! Compliments to the host who made our stay perfect and stayed in close communication.

Decent stay, but a few things to note

Pros:The home smelled clean upon arrival and had a nice, modern interior. The host left some snacks and a thank you note for our stay. The couches were comfortable, and the bed and bedding were especially cozy. This is rare as most rentals we find have extremely uncomfortable beds. We appreciated how many things were clearly labeled in the kitchen and throughout. The fake fireplace and Sonos speakers were our favorite features. The front patio was a highlight—it was fully gated, making it a great space to relax with our dogs. The location was decent, and the neighborhood seemed “ok”; the few people who walked or drove by were friendly. Cons:The yard felt a bit overgrown, so we didn’t feel comfortable letting our two small dogs roam freely. On what we believe was the west side of the house, several windows (glass door, kitchen window, and bay window) had no curtains or blinds, which felt a bit exposed. Additionally, the living room curtains didn’t fully cover the windows, offering very little privacy on that side of the home. The back patio lacked a door or gate, so we couldn’t relax there with our dogs unless they were leashed. Fridge water and ice maker didn’t work—not a big deal since we usually bring our own. Host mentioned an osmosis system, but the ice still tasted off.Overall:The stay was decent and the bed was comfy!! However, we wouldn’t stay again without curtains and would advise others to ask the host if this has been taken care of.

Nice place

The inside of the house was beautiful and stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The location is close to beautiful lakes, and close to the town. The owner made sure to check in with us to make sure we settled in well. They had a card, snacks, and some wine to greet us. There was a couple of downsides to our stay. The place was not fully checked before we arrived. The previous guests spilled something on a chair and the floor, and didnt clean it up ( I did). They left a window open and another one unlocked. They also left beer cans under the back porch. The place did get scary at night due to lack of curtains on the windows and the glass door. My kids were so scared that they slept upstairs instead of downstairs like originally planned. To make them and myself feel somewhat safe, I put chairs in front of the door, including the one that lead from the garage into the house. I did this because there was an opening on the side of the house that lead into the basement. It would be easy for someone to get into the house through it. As beautiful as the house was, we just didn't feel fully safe staying there since it was just me with my children. There was also some alarm or something that went off at 6 in the morning. I had no idea what it was or where it was coming from. iniwell. We well.

Home was just a pictured, beautiful! Much attention to detail and very clean. The sound system was such a wonderful bonus! The neighborhood was quiet and we found area hiking trails that were perfect for quick little get aways. The road leading to the house is I bit rough, but don’t let it deter you!! Would highly recommend!

My husband and I stayed here for 4 days in late May. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the home and how updated the decor was inside (the mattresses were really comfortable!). Both bathrooms were very roomy! The outside of the house could use some updating and maybe some kind of landscaping, as it’s a big property with a lot of potential. There is a nice outdoor firepit area with chairs, as well as a comfortable back porch and a small balcony off the master bedroom upstairs. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, and even had a hand mixer so I could make a cake! The neighborhood was nice and quiet, and the owners were very responsive and helpful when I contacted them with questions. We would definitely stay here again!
