The home is beautifully designed, clean, cozy and offered extra amenities like throw blankets in every room, beach towels, etc. The kitchen is well appointed and made meal prepping a breeze. We traveled with our teens and 2yr old and we all found something to enjoy. The backyard oasis is amazing. During our stay, we went horseback riding, rented ATVs, mountain bikes and made a trip to the Grand Canyon. Marie is a phenomenal host and ensured we were well taken care of. We were sad to leave and look forward to a return trip!

We are regular VRBO renters. This home was perfect for what we were looking for. There were plenty of places to sit and relax outside when not taking a dip in the pool. The kitchen is fantastic plus gas and charcoal BBQs (our fave). More equipped than any other VRBO rental kitchen we have stayed in and perfect because we like to cook. There are some fun bars and restaurants nearby and were not disappointed in any we visited. We did 2 hikes and 3 mountain bike rides, all different and all gorgeous within a 15-20 min drive. We rented mountain bikes in town. Our hosts Marie and Ivar made us feel very welcome. Not ready to leave this beautiful part of the country but will be back.

How lucky we were to call this beautiful property home for a week. Stunning architecture, decorating and property. Easily the cleanest and most organized home we've ever stayed in. Absolutely everything we needed and wanted. Spent so much time in pool, hot tub and back yard. Great location for golf, hiking and restaurants. Communication, check-in and out seemless and easy. Fingers crossed that we will come back to Marie's lovely home.
