Beautiful Guest House in the Foothills: Fireplace, Hot Tub, Patio, Grill

Nice place, other houses nearby (not evident in the photo). Manager/host was next door and prompt with helping with questions/requests. Fairly quiet at night. We did not try hot tub. We enjoyed our stay, and this place was not far from downtown.

It was fantastic

We had a great time hiking the foothills and arroyos. This place is serene - in the pinion pines and juniper. Very cozy.

My wife and I spent a week in the guest house for our honeymoon. While we enjoyed the centralized location the property offered and the beautiful scenery surrounding the house, there were a few issues with the property itself that made our stay less ideal. Firstly, note that the hot tub is advertised as "private" for the guest house, but this is not necessarily the case...Its actually situated behind the main house, with a path leading directly to it from the driveway. (There is no direct path from the hot tub to the guest house).This seems to cause confusion when other guests are staying on the property as it was in use when we arrived initially. (Note if you're seeking a 100% private getaway, the main house is rented out into 4 sections so this may not be ideal.) Because of this and the lack of cleanliness in the hot tub itself, we ultimately decided to only use it once.Also, since we were staying a week, we wanted to do a load of laundry. Unfortunately, the washer/dryer combo seems to no longer be working as we were left with wet clothes and a washer that doesn't spin.Lastly, we were disappointed to discover that many of the towels and some of the throw pillows had lipstick or holes in them from prior guests. There were also numerous spiderwebs around the inside of the property indicating it had not been cleaned very thoroughly. While we enjoyed our stay, more effort could be put into the cleanliness of the property and the accuracy of the listing.
