Not for the technically challenged. For a smart house, it was a revelation. It couldn’t make up its mind on lighting or cooling. Hallways and bathrooms had motion-sensing lighting, kitchen needs that option. For space and location it was great. It is a house that could be wonderful after it transitions.

The rental process was very smooth.

House was just as advertised. Lots of room to hang out. The A/C went out briefly and the owner had someone out to fix it promptly (easy fix - breaker tripped but it was in a locked area so we couldn’t reset it ourselves). Enjoyed the hot tub and the scenic surroundings. Highly recommend.

"The Castle" is a truly unique property and the host provided an excellent experience. We have been renting vacation homes for our three-generation family for more than 25 years. Many of them provide amenities and comfort; but this one provided both in an exquisite surrounding. The engineering and construction that went into this home were truly awesome. Highly recommended for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

1. A large kitchen window screen fell down 3 times. 2. The bathroom sink garage, plugged. (we got it going) 3. Would have been nice for more outside chairs. 4. The furniture and beds could use an upgrade.

Beautiful and very large house in the forest. Lots of room in the house for a large family get-together. Very private and quiet location not far from shopping/restaurants in downtown Flagstaff and close to many places for hiking in the forest and beautiful/interesting places to visit.

The castle is amazing!

Amazing house. Perfect for friends and families. With plenty of room and beautiful views.

Great space, excellent kitchen and gathering areas. Air conditioning was noted as automatic at 78 but never came on; a little warm early evening but cooled off. Pictures show nice green lawn areas surrounding the property but there were none.. pictures could be updated to reflect a draught. Supplemental sleeping provided air mattresses; 3 went flat after a short time...bought 2 toppers at Sam's Club. Pool table had one good stick and pouches torn on two so balls would fall on floor. Some furniture ready for updating. Would have preferred plain old switches and thermostat ; smart system no so smart or possible the occupants. Gave a four because overall experience was good for the family; enjoyed it in spite of the irritations.

This place was so peaceful, the house/castle was huge. We had a total of 9 kids and they loved the space (hide and seek was amazing), and even with that many kids I felt I could just walk into another room and I had my own space (sound was blocked well from our room by a simple close of the massive wood door). Also I love unique style buildings and this was a beautifully designed home! I loved how centralized it was to places we wanted to visit, we could head down to Sedona for hiking or check out the Grand Canyon then head back easily and relax. And the stars at night were absolutely stunning. The night sky in Flagstaff is a marvel in itself, especially if you step out in the middle of the night. The only thing I could say is maybe having a larger washer or multiple washers would be handy. Having two large groups staying we were having to balance laundry, but it wasn’t too hard. Loved main master bedroom shower!!! I would love to visit again and would recommend to anyone looking for a gorgeous, comfortable, and relaxing experience.

The palace home was quite unusual. Owner and property manager were responsive to some problems we had. Pros and cons. I felt that it was expensive for what it offered my group.

Everything and more than we expected!!!

This place was amazing! My family enjoyed every part of this house, inside and outside. The kids had their own personal snow park right outside!! The fireplaces in the rooms made them cozy. The 3 living room spaces provided plenty of room for kids to have there own space. The grand living was big enough for everyone to come together. The heated floors upstairs was amazing and needed. My favorite space was the garage!! Everyone was able to park there, it was easy to get out of and it offered another space to gather. My family wants to come back every year now. We were spoiled!

Group of 4 dads and 10 kids. The house worked well. Size was great and kids loved the space. It was safe and not full of things that can break. Would visit again.

Place was amazing! Huge setup to accommodate 20 people and not be pressed into one area. I do wish the seating was a little better. I noticed we had to gather in groups of 5 or 6 in different parts of the house to enjoy the superbowl game since the seating was limited around the tvs. Other than that great place and highly recommended.

This property is incredible and spacious. The views were magnificent. The house was very clean and had all of the amenities we needed. Will definitely book this house again.
