We picked this house to get married in because we loved the outside of the house so much. The day we got married it was cold and a little windy, but we still went forward with our plans of having an outdoor wedding. We had the reception indoors, and everything worked out perfect. Everyone complimented how nice everything turned out. The house was very clean and the outside was beautifully manicured. Charlie is a great host, and was always there to answer any questions. I would without a doubt recommend this property to anyone, actually I already have a friend that has asked me about it for her aunt's wedding. Thank you so much, Charlie and Gena for letting us create "our dream wedding" ~The Ryders~

We rented the property for a family Wedding. The property was perfect for our wedding of 45 guests. Charlie made sure we had everything we needed and assisted with the wedding set up and take down. Gena was exceptional with helping with the wedding, spending the entire day making sure everything went smooth. Thank you to both of them. The property is a quick ride to the strip and all major stores. We would recommend this property.

Our loved staying here a few weeks ago. The house is pleasantly decorated and very comfortable. Since there were 12 of us, this was the perfect option and much better than hotel rooms. The house was very clean and well maintained and the owner was very helpful with recommendations and answering our questions. We enjoyed cooking breakfast every morning and eating in the backyard by the pool. The house is private and quiet which is exactly what we wanted. We went out on the Strip every day and found it was easy to commute back and forth. We love Trader Joes and there was one a few minutes away so it was perfect for us to stock up. The game table kept our kids entertained and it was a great way for us to spend quality time together. We have recommended this house to our family and friends who need a getaway and we plan on staying here again the next time we are in Las Vegas.

Glorious Wedding Site!

We had our wedding at this property and it was absolutely amazing. The setting was perfect for our ceremony and reception of 75 people. This property is neighboring another 4 bedroom house which we also rented. The grooms family stayed in one house and the brides in the other. It worked out perfectly; there was so much space and the scenery, landscaping and architecture were a beautiful backdrop. It also is a quick cab ride to the strip and to Walmart so we had easy access to everything we needed. The owner of the home, Charlie, was much more a host than a landlord. He checked in on us to make sure we had everything we need and even let us use another one of his properties (also beautiful) to take our wedding party pictures! He went above and beyond to help make our wedding special and memorable! Thank you so much for an amazing time! Lauren & Bryan

Beware

I would not recommend this property to anyone. The home was dirty. There was left over food in the refrigerator. The owner was intrusive and was showing the property to other people during our stay there. He wrongfully kept our security deposit and after doing a little research he has used the same tactics on several other people. He fabricated damage in order to keep our deposit and when I asked for pictures he could never produce them. I have reported him to the Better Business Bureau and to the Nevada Attorney General. Beware! I live out of State and did not have the resources to persue the return of my security deposit. Especially if you live out of State and are renting this sight unseen. If you do decide to stay there make sure you take out the extra insurance to avoid losing your deposit.

Owner response:It is a shame that there are always a few bad apples. We have had years of very happy clients and hosted over 68 weddings. These folks visited over a year and a half ago and they have been trying to extort money from us ever since. They damaged our property and denied having done anything when our staff documented and witnessed such. They continue to have the ability to damage our reputation and hopefully VRBO will change policies to help protect their owners from unscrupulous guests. We have not taken security deposits since beginning of 2010 in order to save ourselves from wasting so much time with bad apples. Sad scenario but I wish them well in their life ahead.

The description was accurate regarding the location it was very close to the Strip and the airport which was good for us with so many of our guest flying in from all over the country. The photo's were exactly what we saw when we got there. The place was clean and maintained. Charlie and Gena were extremely helpful with everything we needed to make our wedding very special. We would highly recommend this property to friends, relatives and people we meet.

Owner response:We enjoyed hosting Greg and Debbie along with their family and friends. Very kind and generous people and we want to wish you the very best of life together! Please visit again as you and yours are welcome anytime! Thank You

Great Wedding Reception Site!!

We traveled from North Idaho to Las Vegas for our daughters wedding at Caesar's Palace. We had the reception at the house with about 50 people attending. All our guests were so impressed with the comfort of the house and the location. Everyone had a wonderful time and we really enjoyed the pool!! . I would recommend this home to anyone hosting a small wedding and reception in Las Vegas. We found a wonderful caterer, bakery, and even hired a shuttle bus to transport guests from the Strip. We saved THOUSANDS!!! Now we can afford to visit again. Thank you Charles for making us feel so welcome!!

Great family reunion place

We just spent our family reunion at this estate. We traveled from California and the remaining family flew in from Atlanta. Charlie was on the spot and treated my family very well. This beautiful property accommodated all of our family comfortably. We felt like we were all at home. We cooled off in the pool from the Vegas heat. Some of the family enjoyed playing pool or ping pong, some played cards, while other family members just sat around catching up. We will use this home again when we travel in the area again. Thanks Charlie for a wonderful vacation.
