My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Verde Valley - and especially enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was comfortable, warm, inviting & had so many "little" things that mean so much - including many kitchen items s.a. spices, condiments, lots of kitchen utensils, an outdoor grill, cooler(s); laundry items; lots of literature on places to explore; the list can go on and on.
We loved coming home after a fun day of exploring, hiking, jeeping and having this incredible place to stay at. I went walking every morning and never tired of the views - and was very comfortable from a safety perspective in my surroundings. It was a great way to start the day! And then sitting outside and watching the hot air balloons in the morning sky & the star-filled sky in the evening. My husband and I both felt that the location of this particular condo was the best when compared to others. We had views of the golf course, the Red Rocks, Mingus Mountain and the lights of Jerome in the evening right outside our back door. It was so very quiet and peaceful.
While there we rented a jeep thru Barlow's jeep rental & explored many trails. Our favorite was Broken Arrow. We ended up going on that trail 2x, with the 2nd time being first thing in the morning. We were the only jeepers at that time along with a handful of hikers. It was awesome! We also did some hiking - including the Devil's Bridge. Wow!! The end of that particular hike was somewhat "narly" with some steep steps and the bridge itself - but it was well worth it.
We also went on many scenic drives including Red Rock Canyon Loop, Oak Canyon, Jerome & part way to Prescott, etc. Beautiful!
Our trip out west was awesome to say the least. But what made it most enjoyable was staying at this condo. Thank you, Susie & Ed, for making this possible for us. We would return in a heartbeat!
