It truly is a struggle to right a review without saying "Ditto" to what the other 35 folks stated in past reviews. The house is amazing. If you are going to be in Arizona in June and face 106 degree heat waves you should pamper yourself and book this little oasis! The pool came in extremely handy and was a great way to start and end each day. Michael thought of all the details: covered patio with a tv, cooler for your beverages, waterfall within the rock formation, surround sound piping your favorite tunes, and ample comfy seating for six people. The patio alone was a vacation; it is precisely the spot one needs to settle in with a good book and forgo any other planned agenda.

Michael is the best host on the planet. Even from a distance, he was quick to respond to our questions and help with our trip planning. When you arrive, he has a slew of information organized in a binder to make the best of your stay. He did fail to mention that the Frye's down the road has a wine and beer bar in the grocery store. Amazing! Such grocery luxuries do not exist in Denver... and we had the sweetest bartenders--Linda and Carla. Make sure you stop by and pay them a visit.

The house is warm and inviting. The layout is precisely right: room enough to take a breathe from one another (if necessary) and the kitchen/living room area is a great gathering space to bond with friends and family. We all raved about the bed/rooms and comfort levels.

The gals and I will return next summer with our golf clubs in hand. Trust me: the last thing you want to do is read this review and then book another house in the Phoenix/Mesa area. You'll be a "Vacation Planning Hero" if you book this place.

Much love and light to Michael for his wonderful hospitality.
