Pleasant vacation

This location is amazing! Great area to take walks around the golf course. Got to see numerous amounts of elk, mule deer, and wild horses everyday in the area is this home during our stay. Fabulous large deck to sit on and take in the fantastic weather and wildlife walking the neighborhood. Great parking for this home also. House was clean, spacious, and well supplied.

Has potential

This property has a lot of potential to be a really nice place to stay. They need to make sure that they are advertising correctly with this property though. The beds are not queen sized and there are some pieces of furniture that are broken and not kid friendly/ safe- like the day bed in the room with the bunk beds.

Nice..but needs some upgrades

I like the property and the neighborhood. My first impression was the front porch area needed some TLC and a good coat of stain or paint. The house was clean. The sofa and love seat really needs replaced, the both are outdated and very uncomfortable. The lamp shades in the living room need replaced. The pillows need replaced. We had a couple of issues and the maintenance was right on top of it and resolved them very quickly. I was very impressed. If they make just a few updates it would be the perfect stay.

Ver specious

It was a very comfortable stay, was under the impression we would not have neighbors close by by the pictures on the website. Stove was not working properly, which also was a bummer. There was trash in the trash can left from previous occupants and also lots of confetti and a couple of balloons left behind.

Heating

Very poor heating system, breaker kept flipping every time we used the electric heaters in the bedroom. My kids slept in the cold every night because of this. We only had 5 towels for 5 people for 3 night stay. It was the most unsatisfying stay ever! And now my kids are sick
