This place is tucked away in a quiet community with lots of space in between properties, but close enough to town to be convenient to grab lunch etc. The house was perfect for our family of 5, and was even loved by the moody teenagers. We spent most of our time on the huge deck, watching all the wildlife in the meadow below and listening to the afternoon storms. Beds were super comfy, kitchen had all the right amenities and the hosts did a great job on communication. We would definitely come back and stay again.
We enjoyed our stay! The house is beautiful and so cozy. The amenities were a huge bonus especially having a washer and dryer. Everyone's favorite spot was the balcony!!We absolutely will recommend and return again.
We loved this cabin in the woods. It was roomy, comfortable, well-equipped, clean, lovely inside and beautiful forest views. Getting there from Phoenix was a simple drive. We watched a herd of deer stroll by one morning
Overall, a very nice place but we did experience some small inconveniences. They had very nice showers and a beautiful tub we didn’t use much because the water pressure was awful. We were also notified that the dishwasher wasn’t working prior to our arrival, so we were able to prepare accordingly, but it was inconvenient.
We were provided very little toilet paper and had to buy more, which felt silly for a three night trip with three people.
The patio cushion were stored away so we had to set those up ourselves before we could enjoy the outdoor space.
The beds were very comfortable and fitted with nice bedding. The deck was big and beautifully adorned with white lights which added a nice ambiance. The fire table was a fun addition we enjoyed as well. Cute decor too.

Thanks for your review and feedback! Due to the monsoon storms, patio cushions are kept stored in order to keep dry for your use. As for toilet paper, we do typically stage our homes with 3 rolls per bathroom so surprised to learn that was not the case for your stay! We will definitely be working with the homeowner about the water pressure upstairs as well. We look forward to hosting you again!
We enjoyed our stay. Excellent communication and friendly host. Beautiful property!
