This is the fourth consecutive year our 8-man golfing group has stayed at the Backlund home. Justin Backlund is very responsive and very helpful in ensuring that everything works smoothly. His home is spacious, well-appointed, and well-maintained. Kitchens and bathrooms are well-stocked with everything one needs. The pool and patio areas are very enjoyable, with a large gas barbecue and outdoor furniture. We plan to return in 2019.

Could not have been happier with this rental!

Pictures on the website do not begin to do this place justice! The property is huge, and maintained wonderfully! We had about 15 people, guys and girls, for a golf trip and it was spacious enough for everyone! At the end of a cul-de-sac of beautiful homes, with no real neighbors on either side or behind us so we could make noise around the pool without offending anyone! And the pool is very spacious, and the surrounding deck is enormous, with a great fire pit, or gas pit if you preferred! Felt like you were out in the country, but stores and restaurants are just minutes away. Plenty of towels, two washers and dryers to continually keep them clean for the next day.. Owner was very responsive to any issues we had, which were just a couple and very minor! Everything resolved to our satisfaction. Cant wait to go back next year! And.. the separate casita was fantastic for those that wanted to break away from the crowd for some quiet time! Thanks for everything Justin!

We've been renting this beautiful estate for four years now and each time is more magical than the last. Perfect desert oasis escape for large groups! Breathtaking sunset mountain views and luxurious, comfortable home. The owners are lovely and always more than happy to help with anything you need ahead of time to make sure your stay is exactly how you envision it. Truly special place!

We had 15 adults and two children, ages 18 months to 100 years, staying at the property for a 100 year old birthday celebration. The property and especially the pool was perfect for the group. Justin, the property manager, was helpful and did everything that he could to insure that we had a wonderful time. The accommodations were clean and very well equipped, particularly the kitchens. We would happily use this property again!

Amazing property and owner!

This was the third year some dear friends and I have stayed at this property, for a guys' golf and tennis weekend. I can't say enough good about this property or Justin the owner. Plenty of space for gathering indoors or out, and especially to enjoy amazing meals, whether prepared in the spacious kitchen or huge outdoor barbecue. We're already looking forward to next year!
