Paul W. | Nov 2024
Our adult family of 6 stayed at the home while in town for a wedding at Desert Foothills, only a 15 mn drive away. We enjoyed the outdoor space for watching college football on the patio, taking a quick plunge in the pool in the afternoon, and sitting by the fire table in the evening. There is a gorgeous view of the McDowells and putting green was a hit. Beds were comfortable. We would definitely stay again!

The location is great and the outdoor views are great.
