ARIZONA LAKEFRONT GETAWAY: POOL & SPA; BOATING FISHING HIKING; 2,600 SQFT.

My family rented this house for 9 days in January 2013. The place was EVERYTHING & MORE as described and the photos show the place very accurately. Very spacious, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the location, the hot tub, and spent a lot of time outside which was very enjoyable. The owner(s) were very flexible and easy to communicate with. They were waiting for us at the house when we called, gave us a tour, and gave us recommendations of the area. The owner even lent us some toys for our kids during our stay which shows their generosity and commitment to their customers. Thank you so much for the stay and I apologize for the time it took to write this review. We will definitely inquire about availability on our next trip to Phoenix...

We sure enjoyed our vacation at your home. The weather was absolutely perfect for our entire stay! We are from Minnesota and this has been a very cold spring back home, so this was a nice change. Your home is wonderful, we enjoyed breakfast and coffee on the patio each morning. Our kids enjoyed seeing the ducks and geese, as well as playing on the swingset. Thanks again, the house was perfect. We hope to return again in the future! I would certainly recommend this home to any families looking for a great place to stay in the Phoenix area.

We stayed 4 nights at this great view home during the 1st week of April. It is everything the pictures portray and the owners of the home are exceptional. The house was clean and nicely decorated. The beds were comfy, but apparently the huge leather couch in the family room is even more comfortable as this is where our two teenage boys usually fell asleep each night. (be sure to have your kids set the TV timer, works like a charm).

The pool is not heated, which I hear is common in Arizona. It is very important to keep the cover on while you are away and at night. It was chillier then we like, but the boys thought it was fine once they were in for awhile. The hot tub is a little tricky to figure out even though the owners wrote pictured step by step instructions. Once they showed us how, it was pretty easy and we really enjoyed it. Allow 20-30 mins for it to heat up.

The kitchen is stocked well with dishes and pots and pans. Note: the water in AZ is pretty awful. Be sure to buy bottled drinking water before getting to the house. Plenty of stores close by for groceries.

The view and the mornings were my favorite. The North/South exposure makes for perfect mornings and afternoons. The neighborhood is super quiet and is great for taking a walk.

Suggestions: It would be helpful to have actual pool towels. I also think at least one end table with a reading lamp would be nice to have in the family room.

We think an old Phoenix classic; TeePee Restaurant was the highlight of our dining.Be sure to get the chorizo bean dip, enchiladas and chimichangas. A new find is Macayo Mexican... incredible pork. If you like beer, a good choice is The Yard House...115 beers on tap.

I would recommend this home to anyone....another thought.... the rental fee is very family friendly.
