We enjoyed the house. The house was well maintained, the linens were nice. It is kind of far out, but it worked for us. The neighborhood was quiet. I would stay here again.

Hi Chris, Thank you for your kind review! We're glad you enjoyed the clean and spacious home. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon!
Hi Colette, Happy to hear your stay went according to your plan and everything was seamless. Hoping to get the chance to host you again for future stays!
Home was just the right size for our family, the ping pong and pool tables were a bonus to keep my boys entertained. Mattresses were very comfortable which is the most important thing to me. Quiet, family-friendly neighborhood and the perfect in-between location for our visits to family south in Oro Valley and north in Scottsdale.

We would love to have you stay with us again, Maureen! Thank you for the kind words and we will hopefully be hosting you again in the future.
Life long high school friends get together. The house was great. The backyard was so cute - just wish it would be kept up better - LOTS of weeds. And, we couldn't figure out how to turn on all the cute lights around the patio.
Overall - nothing bad enough to change the wonderful weekend!!!!
Also, the description of the property - "near" downtown Florence is a little misguided....probably 15-20 minutes.

We'll definitely look into making those areas even better and more welcoming. As for the distance to downtown Florence, I appreciate you pointing that out. We’ll revisit our description to ensure it's more accurate and helpful for future guests.
It's great to know these small things didn't dampen your spirits. We’d love to have you back anytime!

The property was decent but was outdated inside! Thought we’d get more for the price we payed! Dishwasher leaked when on hot cycle and bathroom rugs were not cleaned! Had to take outside and shake out! Wasn’t happy about been told it would cost $10 per guest to come for dinner! Plush finally waived that charge! Back yard was decent! Supplies were lacking such as kitchen dish towels, paper towels etc! Will be looking elsewhere next time!

Hi Terry, Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay. I’m sorry to hear that some aspects of the property didn’t fully meet your expectations. We appreciate you pointing out the areas that could use some attention, like the cleanliness of the bathroom rugs and the property’s dated interior.
Regarding the dishwasher, I want to clarify that our checks after your departure didn't show any leaks during the hot cycle. We'll continue to monitor this closely to ensure everything is working well for future guests.
About the extra guest fee, we usually charge $10 per guest to cover additional utilities and amenities. We were happy to waive this fee for your dinner guests as a one-time courtesy to make your gathering more enjoyable.
Thank you for letting us know about the kitchen supplies too. We’re on it, making sure future guests have everything they need. We truly value your input as it helps us improve. We hope to welcome you back in the future for a better experience.
