Awesome views, front & back!

This was our third year visiting the Cave Creek area and what a pleasant surprise! We arrived one morning at 1am after a long flight from Boston, unlocked the home, dropped our luggage & hit the beds, since our bodies were on east coast time. It was such a pleasant surprise waking up the next morning in the master bedroom. My husband brought me in coffee and said "let me start you a fire". He reached over to the control at the side of the bed, and a fire started in the beautiful bed height fireplace! Then he opened the drapes to the most beautiful mountain views! I thought I was in heaven. The mountains are so beautiful with the colors as the sun starts to rise. It is hard to explain unless you have experienced it. Just like seeing the Grand Canyon at sunrise or sunset...a must do.
I can go on & on about the house but it was just wonderful! Jerry & Lori arranged to have a welcome basket with coffee & wine, etc...which was totally unexpected. We have rented home throughout the country & this was the first!
The kitchen was a dream...top of the line everything! The outside entertainment area, we fell in love with. We used the grill twice and one afternoon we had a friend over for cocktails & BBQ. It was so nice sitting around the bar, looking at the views, listening to the waterfall of the spool pool & wonderful music. Sooo nice!!! I know it would be very habit forming. The weather was bit cooler when we visited, maybe that was good, otherwise I would never have wanted to leave the house.
In the morning, to early afternoon, we would sit on the front porch & take in another set of views. We enjoyed that the houses weren't on top of each other. It was very close to everything but far enough away. At night while I would read in bed,with the fireplace dancing, I would hear the coyotes, which was so relaxing. One night we came home & one was in the driveway!! He was more afraid of us.
I had mentioned to Jerry that we were on a house hunting trip this time and we told our realtor we wanted a place just like what we were staying in.
If you travel a lot, you will truly appreciate the premium amenites the owners have provided in this top notch home. It is a very nice find, since as a owner you have to trust your renters and hope they will take care of the property, like it is their own. As an owner, renting to strangers, they do not hold back. I surely hope the renters respect & appreciate this.
We would definately rent again from them again
