Five year anniversary trip

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property and the location is perfect. Just close enough to Monarch, but just far enough away. The view is amazing. The owners of the house are very accommodating and everything is just like it is described.

Amazing home!

We loved our stay. The owners gave amazing directions to get to the home in case we lost reception and once we arrived everything was perfect for our stay. Check-in and check-out was super smooth. The kitchen is well stocked in kitchen supplies and everything you could need to spend days in this beautiful location. Lots of games and places to relax throughout the home. Close to town and the views were amazing!
