We enjoyed our stay immensely. The house was clean and well appointed. Spent a lot of time in the backyard enjoying the peacefulness. Would definitely stay again.
We really enjoyed our stay, the location is peaceful and beautiful. The kitchen was amazing to cook in. We could all hang out together in the outside and inside sitting areas. A lovely desert oasis.
