Apologies for the lengthy review, but the property and our stay warrant it...
We were fortunate to be able to stay here for a few weeks in Jan-Feb, and will be comparing future rentals against this property and our stay here.
General/Cleanliness: From the minute we walked in we realized this wasn't just another rental property; this was someone's home, immaculately clean and with all the comforts and amenities (and more) we could have wished for.
Kitchen: The kitchen was better supplied with cooking utensils and supplies than any other rental we've seen, and a nearby grocery store made it incredibly easy to plan and prepare meals for the family each day.
Wi-Fi: Even with all of us working and learning remotely, frequently with concurrent streaming activities, there were never any issues with Wi-Fi connectivity or bandwidth.
Communication: Jodi and Margie were incredibly responsive and easy to work with while planning and throughout our stay, often checking in to ensure our needs were met.
Pool/Patio: After some initial review of instructions the pool and spa were easy to use, very clean, incredibly enjoyable and our favorite spot to spend time. We were fortunate to have some great weather and were able to use it every day. The kids loved spending time in the pool and there were plenty of pool amenities (noodles, chairs, diving rings, etc.). The south-facing patio offers incredible sunsets, and the rosemary bush by the spa offered a nice touch of aromatherapy (and cooking herbs) if you're so inclined. Clear nights were great for stargazing by the fire pit or from in the spa.
Location: Wonderfully quiet area and neighborhood, far enough outside the metro area (40 mins SW of the airport) to reduce light pollution, but with shopping amenities (Safeway, Walgreens, etc.) within minutes.
Review from our oldest (9): "It was really cool and I loved the pool! We went to the Grand Canyon and saw Meteor Crater. It was really warm outside and I also liked the hot tub! I missed my friends and the snow a bit but it was really fun!"
We only tend to visit an area once so we can explore a lot of options, but we'll definitely consider going back to this area, and this property would be first on our list.
