Our family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. You get all the feel of a remote natural desert location with the convenience of being less than 10 minutes from "civilization."
Gary and Deborah are excellent hosts, personable and professional. Deborah communicated so well with all my questions before our arrival and they responded quickly during our stay as well.
Gary met us at the property and gave us a quick tour which made getting settled-in much easier. They started us off with a full pantry of staples and some extra welcome gifts.
The mattresses were all very comfortable and complemented by soft linens. Fluffy towels and quality bath products and soaps were so refreshing after a long day of hiking and sight-seeing.
The house is a southwest cultural experience in design and decor. The pictures don't do it justice. I loved exploring all the art, decorative collections, and books throughout the house.
Then step outside and enjoy the desert. The property is huge and the desert is full of life and color: fascinating cacti and plants, coyotes, javelinas, kangaroo mice (all outside!), hummingbirds, finches and wrens. We especially enjoyed evenings around the campfire watching the stars and listening to the coyotes howl.
I think what sets Gary and Deborah apart is that they will do what it takes to make this about you. Apparently the oven went out the day before our arrival. When a repair/replacement could not be procured in time, they brought in a full size portable oven for our stay. Things happen, but they made no excuses and took care of it.
We look forward to staying here again!
