We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home in Carefree. The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need, from toilet paper and trash bags to kitchen essentials and even a great variety of spices. We cooked here almost every night.The amenities were our favorite part, especially loved spending time in the pool during the day, playing games and relaxing by the fire pit table at night. We grilled one day and grill works great! There were so many comfortable places to sit and unwind both inside and outside, making it perfect for our group to spread out and enjoy the space. They provided plenty of towels for the pool as well as the bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable, and the large closets gave everyone plenty of room to settle in. The extra refrigerator was an huge bonus. Everything was spotless when we arrived, and the home was clearly very well cared for.The scenic sunsets were 10/10! We would absolutely love to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Hosts were very quick to respond and very helpful. Close to Cave Creek and we even hit up Buffalo Chip!
