Casa de la Montana was exactly as advertised, and probably the cleanest home I have ever rented. Upon my group’s arrival we were greeted by Jacques, and inside were a dozen red roses with a fine bottle of Sonoma County Pinot Noir.
Accommodations were welcome and comfortable for our group of 7 adults. We enjoy cooking, and found the large kitchen well-stocked, with a good set-up. Having a Traeger grill outside was a huge plus! Every meal was eaten outdoors on the spacious patio, enjoying the warm weather and spectacular views.
Each day included a lot of time in the the hot tub and gigantic pool, taking advantage of the rafts, floaters, and super soakers provided (there was quite a competition with the soakers on one occasion). A huge game room allowed all of us to be playing something……all at the same time……which was advantageous, as some of us had not seen each other for some time.
The property is located in a peaceful neighborhood, and nearly every day we watched a family of deer meander past the expansive windows in the great room. As well as being close to shopping, Sabino Canyon staging area is a very short drive, having an abundance of hiking trails to choose from.
Of course, we had questions, and Jacques was quick to respond to texts. To our delight, he brought us a number of pies and a warm pretzel bread, which were gone in no time.
Casa de la Montana was a beautiful, much-needed respite for our group of friends. Next time we plan to extend our stay.
