This place is so much fun! The only complaint is our stay was too short. The outdoors is like a high end resort with all the space and amenities you could want. The homes are clean and completely stocked. We checked out the trails and Wow! We will come back to do more hiking and exploring. The property manager is great. We can’t wait to return and take advantage of all there is to do.

This property is amazing. The backyard amenities are beautiful and were fun for all of us. There are so many things to do with inside games and the huge gazebo. Kitchens were completely stocked and homes have nice linens and everything you need to be comfortable. The views make this place extra special! 10/10 property. We will be back!

Our vacation was great and we know others will have fun staying here. It’s quiet and relaxing and I can’t say enough about the location. The homes are all different but clean and comfortable. They have lots of supplies so we only needed to buy groceries. We were in awe of the mountains and other views and walked a few of the trails that are next to the property. Apache Junction is worth seeing. For anyone who likes desert and mountain scenery we highly recommend a vacation here. 5 stars in all ways.

A few of us from our nature club stayed here to consider it as a future venue for our members to use for a retreat. The property is next to Tonto National Forest and the trails will be ideal for us to observe and photograph wildlife. The views from the decks are wonderful and we will enjoy the sights from there, too. The homes are clean, have a variety of sleeping arrangements and stocked kitchens plus everything else we would need. The pool and gazebo are simply amazing - beyond anything we have ever stayed at. We think this will be perfect for us! Thanks to the helpful and friendly host for our stay!

Wow, what an amazing stay! The mountain views were absolutely gorgeous, and we spent hours in the pool just soaking it all in. The kitchen had everything we needed, which made cooking super easy, and the beds were spotless and so comfortable. Each house had its own cool theme and vibe — you can tell a lot of thought went into every detail. The management team was super easy to work with and always quick to respond. We honestly didn’t want to leave and would come back in a heartbeat
