The home and experience we had there was absolutely fantastic. The photos of the home on VRBO simply do not do it justice- especially the grounds. The grounds are like a hidden oasis in the desert. On the "main level" there is a swimming pool (complete with basketball hoop, swim up sunken bar, bbq) and approximately 1000 sf of covered terrace surrounding a large water fountain. The second level below, and literally carved out of the hillside, is a large grassy area (suitable for volleyball, badminton, and our favorite "Nerf gun wars") and a sunken fire pit which easily sits 12 people and is perfect for roasting marshmallows. There are also two promontories on the property - one faces east and the other west- the east facing promontory is a steep climb, but well worth it, as it has another fire pit and affords 360 views (which honestly, probably isn't available anywhere else in the area), the second promontory is off of the private terrace of the master suite, and also has a fire pit and table, and is perfect for watching the sunset. The interior of the home probably has the best layout (for the square footage) for entertaining in a private residence that I've ever experienced - large living room comfortable for 8 adults, sunken bar and conversation pit for 6, dining room for 8, and a "great room" for another 10, and that doesn't include all of the seating available on the multiple terraces and pool area. I didn't have that many people in the home at once- but it was easy to accommodate 20 people for a brunch and then seamlessly transfer to a pool party and bbq for a bunch of high school seniors. If you want everything new and perfect- this isn't the place for you- the kitchen is original (but still highly functional) and the entertainment/sound system may not be what you would expect for an estate of this quality. However, with a house full of teenagers and tweens, not one of the televisions was turned on for a period of three days- so it wasn't like there wasn't anything to do. As my schedule and funds allow, I will be returning to the property, and might even make it an annual family event-such were the incredible memories that were created. There are two "conditions" of the property that should be noted: 1) To fully enjoy the property, you are going to to A LOT of climbing- those that do not move so well may want to look elsewhere. 2) The driveway and parking can be challenging to navigate for less than experienced drivers-.
