We rented this property as a getaway for my family, my parents, and sister's family. (6 adults, 8yr old, 6yr old and 18 month old). We chose the property for the layout and private pool. It did not disappoint! The rambler layout was great for multiple families. In the main area of the house, a master (with huge bathroom and shower), guest bedroom, and bunk room that my kids loved. The beds were all comfortable. Down the hall in the other part of the house is an area perfect for my parents, a guest room, bath, and bar/living area. The kitchen/living is open and spacious. We appreciated the large dining table that fit all of us. The large kitchen island was perfect to set out all of our snacks and for food prep. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans/utensils and condiments.
The pool/yard was perfect. The pool starts shallow (3ft I believe) then dips down to 8ft. There is a little ledge even in the deep end that my kids could stand on then dive down. The pool deck was great for lounging. The pool was heated and felt warm, even on a cloudy day. The pool cover was easy to operate. We also enjoyed using the hot tub.
The view is an added bonus. It was great to sit out on the deck or look out the big glass doors at the river and hills. There is a walking path along the river just outside the door. My husband also did the very short walk down to the river to fish multiple times a day.
There is a fantastic neighborhood park 0.5miles down the road we walked to with a great play structure, swings, slide, and open areas to run. Large neighborhood to walk/run in the mornings. Gas station and little store/restaurant also within a mile but we didn't need to leave the property.
Lots of flies/bugs common to dessert aire but we appreciated the electronic fly swatter to get after them in the evening.
Anna, the host is extremely responsive and helpful. We felt like we found such a great private retreat and had a great vacation. Thank you!
