Great place to stay, excellent location
Everything was exactly as described and the house was well stocked with amenities and clean. Very comfortable. The yard has a fence, though a small dog might be able to slip under in some places. Friendly, welcoming host who is on top of things. Highly recommend.

Awesome find!
This home is adorable! We came here to visit our daughter at U of A and this home is minutes away. It has three spacious bedrooms, two great bathrooms with big fluffy towels and space for all our stuff. Comfortable beds with just the right amount of firmness and plenty of pillows to choose from. It has a large kitchen with everything you would need. Comfy living room with large tv, games in a cabinet were provided, which was nice. The big surprise was the fire pit and casita in the back yard! It has a pool/ping pong table and a dart board. There is also a large TV and comfy sofa that expands to a sleeping sofa. My 20yo son loved this area and it’s perfect for kids and families. The owners were so nice and super responsive to our question!
