It’s a really nice property. It’s very large. My family would stay here again. We had one hiccup at check in that was quickly resolved at 10pm.

Family visit

The house is beautiful and clean. We had everything we needed. The location is easy to get to and close to grocery stores. The view is stunning. There are 2 decks outside with tables for breakfast/dinner and lots of space in the backyard. We will definitely book again. Our 2 daughters are in college and we visit them often. They loved the house. Property management was amazing throughout entire process.

Beautiful home. Beautiful view.

We rented this home over Thanksgiving so we could host a family get together and meet our new granddaughter :) It was a perfect location: plenty of room for the family, a huge dining table for our Thanksgiving dinner, and lovely views of the sunrise and the canyon from the two balconies and garden. The house was clean and well supplied. The neighborhood is lovely. And our dog was allowed to come too! We would stay here again!
