Let me start by saying I do not enjoy giving negative reviews, but I am speaking very truthfully when I say this property was very disappointing.
Issues:
1) Pictures made it seem more isolated, but it was in a pretty crowded neighborhood with lots of misc yard items (junk and RVs, cars on blocks, etc).
2) Although it was clean, the inside did smell of must and pet urine, very unpleasant. I sleep with a CPAP and I'm still trying to get that smell out of it.
3) Kitchen and baths were tiny, with the upstairs bath straight out of a tiny homes showcase. The downstairs shower does not drain well, pooling water to your ankles during a shower. The upstairs shower did work well, and it was very clean.
4) The stairs were precarious, very small, and hazardous. Getting a suitcase up and down them was quite a chore! Took to calling them the "stairs of death".
5) Living room was super small, with a small loveseat parked 3ft from the TV and a very uncomfortable "sofa" off to the side. Not a good conversation area.
The one redeeming factor of the whole stay was the deck. It is huge as advertised, and has a great view directly behind it. The night sky was great. The grill worked well, and was easy to use. But still I was disappointed by the view of neighboring properties so close on the left and right. However they were generally quite neighbors, except for the ones across the woods who were doing construction the whole time.
I've stayed in a lot of cabins in northern AZ and southern UT. I've always gotten a good property at this price point. This was definitely the exception and belongs at a much lower price level.
