  Love it! We stayed here even before the back yard and BBQ were complete and still had a fabulous stay. Everything is new and comfortable and private. We'll never stay at a hotel again. The casinos are just a few minutes away without having to drive through town, yet town is right there when needed. Airport, river, lake and desert access are all real close, too. We can't wait until we return this winter and enjoy all the new additions!

  We stayed at this property from Mar 22-30, 2012. We had a very nice time. The home is very well appointed and the outside and inside is just beautiful. The house is just a couple of miles from the casinos in Laughlin and just a couple more miles to Katherine's landing on Lake Mohave. The neighborhood is very quiet and the backyard is very private. The photos don't really do it justice. The pool area is very pretty during the day and it is like a resort at night when the lights come on. They have a spa at one end of the pool and a heater for both the pool and spa. All of the appliances are brand new and so are the furnishings. Very, VERY clean and neat!!!
