This welcoming home was the perfect size for me and my two small dogs. The location is easily accessible off the main highway, but in a private cul-de-sac which was very quiet and peaceful. The home is tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Perfect get-away for a small family or two couples. I appreciate Sarah providing all the information I needed and checking in with me during my stay.

Hi Bill, thank you so much for visiting. We welcome you back any time. Thanks for being respectful of the property and easy to communicate with- safe travels!
This was a very clean property and plenty of extra amenities like firewood for the firepit on the deck and for the firepit at the bottom of the stairs. The gas fireplace on the front porch was very nice as well as the grill very handy and of course the hot tub quite a nice addition.There were games such as board games inside and outdoor cornhole setup and bicycles.Driving distances to the grocery store and restaurants and to the athletic amenities were 10-12 minutes. The local pickleball and tennis courts were excellent. The gym is adequate and the pools are excellent. However, the local par 3 golf course is in bad shape (driving range is OK) and the Sapphire Valley 18 hole public golf course is closed.

Hi Rick, thank you for choosing The Onyx. Happy to report the second golf course should be reopened and cleaned up by next summer, yes, for this one there was only the smaller Red Bird Links. It was a whole thing between the golf course owner and someone who sued him but they just announced this month actually that that is now being mediated thankfully!
