Family Reunion met expectation
This property is exactly what you get - large house and sep. apartment, functional kitchen, and clean rooms, many of which are en suite. Plenty of space for a large family or multiple families to spread out and enjoy the space. There was a pool malfunction prior to our stay, but the manager got in touch and addressed the challenge and refunded us some of the heating costs proactively. The kids really enjoyed the pickleball court, play structure, and pool. Great space. Thanks!

Great Girls trip
We stayed here for my Bachelorette party. We had 13 of us. This place had plenty of room for all of us. The beds were super comfy. We loved that almost every bedroom had its own bathroom. There were a couple issues when we got there but the property manager took care of it right away and was very friendly. Would definitely stay there again.

This is such a unique location in the desert. The split residence to sleep so many people was a huge plus for us and our group. From the pool to the pool table, there was something for everyone. The hosts were gracious and left us some fruit from the trees out front, and it was just the right way to welcome us. Thank you for a great trip!

This property is amazing! There’s just so much space inside and outside the home for our group to enjoy. Everything was neat and beautifully kept. Rooms and home were clean and tidy. There was staff from the management company that helped with our check in and provided support during our stay. The house is spacious, clean and very beautiful.

A Great Time Was Had By All!!!
We’ve stayed at many wonderful VRBO properties but this was the first time that pictures undersold what the property had to offer. Kitchen, Game Room, all Bedroom and Bathrooms and outdoor spaces were extremely spacious and well appointed. The pool table and life sized Jenga were big hits with our group of 18 family and friends who came from California, New York and Montana for a family wedding at a wedding venue less than 20 minutes away. The price was far more affordable than individual hotel rooms would have been and the memories made by staying together were priceless!!!

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOUSE
We have rented houses for our annual retreat for over 15 years and typically like to leave a positive review. Unfortunately, there are multiple and big problems with this house, which make for an unpleasant yet costly stay: -In the kitchen, the trash compactor does not work and it falls out of its mounting when you open it; One dishwasher hangs off its mounting and is falling out of the cabinet; Other dishwasher the racks are falling off the walls of the dishwasher. -Many electrical outlets throughout the house did not work -Heat throughout the house is inconsistent. Thermostat in bedroom wing is not calibrated and does not regulate the temperature. If one room is a comfortable temperature, it makes another bedroom extremely hot. There is a constant need to turn the thermostat up or down -There was no wifi internet in the entire guest house that has 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. Also in the guest house, the upstairs shower had very little water pressure, only came out as a trickle and the bathroom doorknob would not work. -Water in the showers were a huge issue all weekend. Some take upwards of 10 minutes of running before the water gets hot. In another shower, the handle would not turn the water off. -The Main gate to the house does not open from the inside with motion detection from a car and there was no control pad to open from inside the gate. -Gas smell in back near propane tank -Spa needed repair before we could use it. -Knobs/levers not work

Not what I paid for
The property is large, with plenty of sleeping spaces for a large group, and privacy. Kitchen is large and well-appointed. There was plenty of space for our group to spend time together, and have time alone, too. Property is older, and unfortunately fixtures are not well maintained. Shower, tub faucet, and one sink faucet in the very large master bathroom were wobbly, and barely usable, faucets in at least two other baths were also wonky. Basic plumbing desperately needs done. I paid extra for the pool to be heated, and contacted management two weeks early to insure heaters were turned on well before our arrival so we could use pool and hot tub. Both were cold when we arrived. Management let me know to turn on hot tub and it would warm up in an hour or so. Hot tub did warm up enough to use, and on Friday, Jan 6 was warm enough to use. Pool was never warm enough to enjoy except for one intrepid kid, who will swim even when cold. On Saturday, part of our group went sightseeing, while others stayed at the property. The pool maintenance person came by early on Saturday, and from then forward not even the hot tub was warm. I paid $800 for a warm pool and the hot tub, yet they were usable only 1 full day of the three I paid for. The cost, plus add-on fees was very high for this property, and I don’t feel I got the experience I paid for.

Great rental if you don’t plan on leaving the property.
Beautiful home with great amenities that adults and kids can enjoy. This is not an open plan space so if you want more compartmented rooms, you will appreciate this floor plan. The right wing houses 5 en-suite bedrooms down a single hallway. The separate apartment houses 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a full kitchen, dining and living room- great for a small family that like a bit of separation from the main house. The formal living and formal dining room did not get used at all during our stay. Instead, we all congregated in the kitchen and pool area, which was perfect for our party. Major bonus points for super comfortable beds and pillows. We all slept very well. Now for the cons: 1. Thermostat was wonky and property manager corrected the issue upon contact. 2. Treehouse/ play area for kids was very dirty. The kids wanted to play, but there was poop littering the grounds. Not sure from what animal since the property is pretty secluded. 3. Not enough propane in the grill. All in all, a wonderful stay and beautiful property. Would definitely recommend!

Expected better and were very disappointed.
The neighborhood is not great so that was a weak start. The main house is pretty nice with a good pool/patio area. The guest house with 3 small bedrooms is below average, old, dingy and only has 2 bathrooms. The biggest issues in both houses were the thermostats are programmed, code locked and set very high. It took all of the first night to get in touch with the managers to get the heat below 80. The guest house air conditioning did not work at all and a repairman had to be sent to repair. Even then, it was very poor and remained in the mid 70's no matter the setting. Also, the hot tub is set remotely so we had to contact the property managers each time we wanted to use the tub and then wait 30 minutes to heat up. Bottom line is this property is not remotely worth the price, especially after a ridiculous amount of “owner charges”. And to make matters even more annoying, once we made a deposit, we were stuck with the house as they had a no refund policy. Walk, no run, from this grossly overpriced hovel.

Incredibly large and spacious property. Made everyone felt at ease with current social distancing guidelines. Everyone had their own suites, and the kitchen and dining table in the kitchen really allowed our team to bond over the 2 nights that we had the pleasure of staying. The space encouraged us to prepare meals, break bread, and clean up together. I do not think we could have planned a better team-building activity. Bedrooms were spacious, linens were of good quality and everyone was very comfortable.
