Our rental was a very positive experience. The home was large, airy, with all the amenities needed for a two month stay. The mountain and arroyo views were beautiful. The animal and bird life we had at our door step was great fun to observe (colorful birds each day at the seed feeders near the back porch, quail of many colors and types, pecked at the stones below the feeder, a roadrunner came almost every day to peck at his image in the slider glass on the porch, rabbits hopped by beyond the fences of the large back yard, and many other desert creatures went by as well). Mary Ann was a very attentive hostess, providing bird seed, maps, brochures of local attractions, extra paper products, improving the TV connection to assure we would not miss the World Series or any other TV programs! At first it seemed somewhat isolated from amenities, but we learned within two days to navigate for 10 minutes or so to almost all the places needed, whether stores, restaurants or local attractions. The room layout was such that we could have company stay over with ease in the spare bedroom and bath, use the study for computer work or quiet reading, have dinners in the sizable kitchen or the table and chairs on the covered porch and never feel we were falling over each other. The kitchen was well equipped for full meals with lots of spices and dry goods in the pantry unit. We highly recommend this home for anyone seeking a beautiful, restful vacation spot.
