Somewhat remote, very clean, comfortable. The backyard was very large and out dog loved it. Michael was very responsive and flexible as we asked for an early checkin which he agreed to. Definitely would stay there again. ##### Richard B. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Beth 10 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I loved everything about our stay here. Didn't know what to expect since I've never rented an air b&b, but literally you just have to bring what you want to eat and drink here. Everything else was provided. this was completely tucked away and private, yet super close to the renaissance fair, which is why we went, and shopping if that is why you go. I will most definitely stay here again!!! Thank you for making our weekend so great. ##### Mary Beth Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mindy G. 3 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Saved Our Vacation We contacted Nathan on VRBO to see if his Desert Ranch Home was available after we had stayed one night at a terrible place. Nathan said he had to clean his place and said that he would have it ready at 7, he had it ready two hours early. The house is in a great location for hiking and views. It was clean neat and we really appreciated the welcome basket as we hadn’t had a chance to go to the store before arriving. Each bedroom had its own charm and personality. The beds were clean and comfortable and there were plenty of extra pillows and blankets. The kitchen was well stocked with all that we needed and there was a stash of Kirkland spices and a nice sampling of coffee pods. The bathrooms were clean with more than enough towels, new hairdryers and Kirkland shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We had a great time playing cards outside on the patio. The table and other patio furniture was comfortable and clean. The birds and rabbits were fun to watch, wish we had seen the owls, maybe next time. The TV and internet worked perfect and there was a huge selection of puzzles to work on in the office closet. Nathan’s home was so welcoming and comfortable that we would want to stay there on our next visit. ##### Mindy G.

It was a nice to have a comfortable and relaxing place to return to after a long day at work. We had everything we needed to make us feel at home. We didn't always have the ability to watch t.v. and the internet connection was spotty. Our host Michael went out of his way to accommodate our needs and made it easy for us to communicate with him when needed. ##### Peggy R. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ---
