This home was clean and beautifully decorated with great views. The back yard was also thoughtfully planned with plenty of comfortable furniture to enjoy the outdoors. The beds were comfortable. Communication with the hosts was excellent. The home was very well stocked with the essentials needed and we appreciated the labeling of nearly all the light fixtures and fans as well as instructions for the washer/dryer and sauna. Much time was invested to make this home comfortable and easy to live in.We had guests stay with us for a week and everyone was comfortable. Would highly recommend! We have rented many VRBO homes, and this was the best.

We are originally from yes, the square state, Utah, with its glorious mountains and perfect powder skiing. We have lived in the Bay area of California, New York City, then settled in Phoenix 36 years ago. We elected to visit snow not live in it and have experienced enough city living, which we enjoyed, but long term did not want.
