House was very nice and pleasant. Very nice mountain view. .Beds comfortable. Nice pool, patio area. No railing for the pool which made it a little scary to get in for kids. No info book in the house about the house.
Nice house. Pool was unusable. Sediment on surface though the pool cleaner was in the pool full time. Notice on wall to not move pool equipment & didn’t want to try to swim around hose.
Such a beautiful and well-kept property! It was so relaxing and comfortable. I will definitely be staying again and/or recommending to others. Thank you!
We came for a concert for the weekend and enjoyed everything about this stay. It was a rare gem. Our favorite part was having the canyon hiking trails in the back yard. Everything was in close proximity to the house, and it was just like pictured. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms were very comfortable. Our kids enjoyed the pool. We will certainly be back!
This is a really nice property. The home is comfortable. The back pool area is lovely and the view is wonderful. The easy access to hours of hiking is a real perk. Would stay again.
Outstanding property and location. We found the kitchen well appointed, which is perfect for us. We like to cook at home and save a lot of money that way. Also loved the Air Conditioning and fans for a perfect setting indoors during hot weather. The view is amazing. We even spotted Havalenas and many birds we have never seen. We would highly recommend this property.
Loved the location and house. Only complaint was the blinds in the master bedroom where broken prior to our stay so we did not get to wake up to the Mountain View
We enjoyed our stay. Nice house. Check in was a little tricky. We didn't have both codes but a two minute phone call solved the issue. It was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the hiking right in the backyard. Recommend this home.

Nice place!
The unit was clean, well appointed, great location, no problems of any kind. The bunk room could use some coverings on the doors to ensure privacy but overall we had a nice stay.

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the location and amenities of our peaceful Mountain home. Moreover, we are glad to inform you that the owner has recently installed opaque glass coverings on the bunk room doors, ensuring our guests' privacy. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
I stayed with 2 friends for a long weekend to attend a concert and soak up the last of summer. The house was clean and as described. We really enjoyed the pool and view of the recreational area.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very comfortable and a good location. We wished the owners would have listed more of the amenities they had in the VRBO as it would have helped with our packing. Only other thing that would have been nice were more restaurant suggestions. Maybe consider a place for your guests to write their recommendations for future guests.
