Fantastic stay at this perfectly equipped home that truly feels like home away from home! Accommodations were very clean and extremely comfortable. The yard is enclosed and there is lots of room for a dog to roam and clean up was very easy! Loved it and will reserve it again!

House was comfortable and pretty much had everything we needed for our stay.
This vacation rental was great! We walked to the golf course every day to have lunch and spent time by the pool. It is in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Thanks for an awesome stay!
A wonderful place to come back to after a day of hiking. Everything was great - thank you!

We are repeat guest at this outstanding location. The accommodations are very clean and offer all the comforts of home and more.

The host is easy to communicate with to address your concerns. Enjoy your stay.
House is in a safe, quiet neighborhood. Loved the pool- no need for it to be heated. Temps were in the mid-upper 90s so the pool was great. Inside was quiet. Dogs had plenty of space to roam, lots of shade. Had everything we needed! Thank you for sharing your place! We’ll be back!

Excellent!
House is in a nice, safe neighborhood. Temps were on the mid-upper 90s so no need for a heated pool- it was perfect. House had everything we needed. Dogs had lots of room to roam outside. House is very well laid out so the bedrooms were pretty well sound proof. Loved having access to park inside the garage- very much appreciated! Loved our stay! We’ll be back!

Four old friends from 4 different places who try to get together every year somewhere near one of us ( Tucson, Prescott, Massachusetts snd Nashville). We enjoyed hanging out in the house and back area and playing games snd cards, some shopping, eating out and going onto Csnyon Lake Dolly boat ride. Found good places to eat nearby btw! Would return to this VRBO!!
Visit with old friends and a spa day at Gold Canyon Resort made this house a perfect fit, good location, great yard for our 2 ShihTzus and nice pool, all reasons for renting this home. Unfortunately neither were rental ready when we arrived. The owners responded immediately and got the pool and landscape serviced the next day. It would have been a much better visit had the house been rental ready when we arrived.
From our first interaction to our last, we really appreciated the property manager / home owner's quick responses to questions. The home and property were beautiful, well maintained and well equipped all around. We enjoyed our stay and hope this home is available for our next visit to Gold Canyon.
We had a few friends and family members in from out of town to celebrate my husband 60th birthday! This was a great nearby home for our evenings. The home was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows were so comfortable and everyone slept very well. Communicating with the manager was easy and check in and check out or simple. We would stay again in a heartbeat!
Very roomy, clean, home. Kitchen was stocked with all the small and large appliances you would need. I've stayed at this home before and will stay again. Nice size back yard for your pet to move around. If I could suggest anything it would be to trim the tree that hangs over the pool a little. Love the shade that it provides but get a lot of leaves in the pool.

This property is in need of several updates. First the toaster does not work. The master bathroom sinks need stoppers along with major work in the shower. The faucets in both the shower and the sinks are extremely hard to turn on. The exterior doors leading into the house need to be painted and or washed. The patio door screen needs to be replaced. The bed linens - mattress pads need to be replaced and or washed (dirty). Need better lighting in the living room. Tooooo dark. Windows need to be washed on the exterior - especially those in the kitchen.

Appearances are not always what they seem!
We stayed 75 days at this property. On the peripheral it looks nice, however the stove has one burner with tape over it, the garbage disposal had a bucket under it under the sink as it leaked, finally broke and flooded the kitchen.HVAC SYSTEM broke 4 times and we had no heat.plus the ventilation system is so dirty we had thick dust all over the house , but particularly in our closet. 2 of the gas grill burners were out and my husband took it apart and fixed it. The handle I’m the master shower was broken upon arrival which we replaced. I could go on!
The PM’s we’re as accommodating as they could be given the constant issues and a small portion of money returned. I caution all, it looks nice at fist glance but has a lot of deferred maintenance, and if you have allergies beware.
It’s a shame it could be nice if the owners put some money into it.

Roxanne, The homeowners were surprised to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and would like to clarify the following:
- We're sorry that after all our efforts you were unhappy. We came out each time you reported an issue and we responded and got everything addressed immediately
- The bucket under the sink was not for the purpose of the garbage disposal
- The gas grill was brand new and you were the first ones to use it
- The HVAC system was newly installed in November 2022 and is clean, the technician came out each time and verified the cleanliness and effectiveness of the system with a camera scope. The system shut off on a safety switch due to being incorrectly operated, the technicians did advise you how to use the system so that this would not happen
We truly go above and beyond for our guests, and are confident that future guests will have excellent stays! We will continue to deliver the 5-star experiences we are known for.
