We had a magnificent stay at Sunset Canyon Retreat! Nate was very helpful and communicative. We absolutely loved the backyard, and the beds were very comfortable. The number of beds gave everyone lots of space to spread out. Plus they provided some basic amenities that enhanced the stay- like coffee and coffee syrups! We would definitely stay again if we are back in the area.
Amazing property inside and out. We traveled with another family and the setup was perfect. Everything was in tip top shape. We all enjoyed the heated pool, game room, turf for yard games, blow up movie theater. We stayed for 7 days and could have stayed entertained without leaving the property. Nate is the best. His communication through booking, arrival, and reaching out during our stay made for one of the best getaways ever. Highly recommend and if we have the opportunity we will definitely book again with the location convenient for access to the city and nature.
