Great House Great View

We were very happy with our stay at your house in Gold Canyon. The house was well equipped and very comfortable. We had everything we needed. The view out the back patio was outstanding. We enjoyed many evenings watching the sunset while having a glass of wine.

Very comfortable house with wonderful views

I stayed here with my husband and adult children as we visited my mom. We love this area and the hiking in the Superstitions. Rita’s house was a perfect place to stay. The house has lots of room. The kitchen and living room are spacious. And the views from the patio are WOW! Rita was an excellent host and was very responsive.

Nice house, bad host

The house was nice with a beautiful view of the mountains. There were a few small cleanliness issues but nothing concerning except the dog hair in a couple of the rooms when the listing specifically said there were no dogs allowed. My son got sick on the carpet in the guest room while he slept so my husband had to buy carpet cleaner at 3am to clean up the spot. We fully disclosed this to the owner and explained that we left a window open to help air out the smell. She replied with a very nasty message about how filthy we left the house, that it was the worst she had ever seen, and accused us of having a dog. I explained to her again what had happened in the room, pointed out the other cleanliness issues we found most likely from previous renters, and added that we did the dishes and stripped the beds for washing. As well as explained that we did not travel with a dog and had specifically booked her rental because someone in our party is allergic to dogs. She continued to call me a liar and said she stands by her cleaning lady and claimed the neighbor saw us with a small dog, which could not have been possible. Overall, the house itself was a nice size and well outfitted for the 4 adults and 3 small children we had but her handling of the situation was unprofessional and childish.

Perfect in Peralta Trails

We have stayed at this property several times and have enjoyed this stay as much as in the past. It is a great place. We enjoy the beautiful view of the Superstition Mountains from the patio. The house is well kept, well supplied, appliances work well and it is clean. It is a short drive to hiking and off-roading. We will definitely be back.

Felt like home

This is a lovely home located in a very safe community. Everything was clean and provided to make our stay relaxing. The community pool was down the road and we found that everybody was very friendly. The owner communicated with us before and followed up after we left. I would rate our stay as an A+.

Amazing Home and Views

We rented the home for our adult daughter, son, and granddaughter who where in town for a family celebration. It was perfect - the home is so well appointed that you feel like you're home the minute you walk in the door. For down times, the 4 bikes in the garage encourage guests to go for a ride to explore the gated community. In addition, the pool is just down the street or the back porch welcomes you to sit outside and enjoy the amazing view! We will most definitely rent this home again. Thank you, Rita, for sharing your home with us.

Great views in Gold Canyon

Second year we have stayed at this place in Gold Canyon. It was great. Although there is construction behind the house it does not obstruct the view. Still a great view of the Superstition Mountains. The place is well stocked and very comfortable. Close to many hiking trails.

Beautiful home, great value

We stayed 5 days. The home has beautiful, nearly unobstructed views of the Superstion Mts. from the back patio.We traveled to Tucson and it was an easy commute. We hiked on the State Peralta Trail with awesome undeveloped views which is maybe a 20 min drive on the improved gravel road out the back of the subdivision. We paid a $20 family fee online to use the State land. It was worth It. The kids enjoyed the community pool, a nice place to relax and copl off. Everything in the description was spot on. We had seamless communication with Rita. It is a beautifully furnished home with everything we neded and a we found it to be a great value.

I have never used VRBO and was a little apprehensive but we were not disappointed. This house was perfect, the views from the back yard stunning and Rita was so very accommodating.

We rented this lovely home in May for girls week!! The weather was perfect and this home had everything needed for a relaxing vacation.

Sunsets on Superstition

We knew this was going to be a great time from the moment we walked in...felt better than home! Almost didn't want to go to sleep because it was so amazing outside looking at the stars and was so eager to see the sun shining on Superstition Mountain in the morning! Of course, now that it is time to go home...we want to stay longer...looks like we will be coming back again...and again...and again! If we can't own a property down here...this is where I want to stay!
