Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My husband and I found the property to be clean and nicely decorated. Our dog loved the big back yard and we loved the location being so close to the park but also close to town amenities. Check-in was easy and smooth and neighborhood was quiet. My only note would be that the furniture felt a little sparse-there is the two-seater couch and then small modern chairs that wouldn't be comfy for long. I don't think it would be comfortable for larger groups of adults. Not an issue for us but just something to be aware of.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Great property, great location, not the cleanest
The property is very close to the National Park and all of the restaurants, shops, and visitor center. Check-in was easy and early, but there were some gross stains on the linens that we had to wash out the first day. One was a pretty large & visible “body fluid” stain on the comforter, so we were left wondering if the property was indeed cleaned prior to our stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Not exactly what I expected
I did see this is a “dog friendly “ rental but did not expect the bed sheets to be covered in dog hair. The garage was full of cactus to step on, no broom to sweep up after ourselves, or after the prior guests mess left behind. Long pieces of human hair left on the towels hanging in the bathroom. Dead ants left all over the master shower, alive ants in the “bonus room”, cannot control the ants from coming however if there was not sticky stuff maybe they would not have showed up? Basically needed a good cleaning. Received a text asking about how clean the house was shortly after arriving and I did explain my concerns and was told someone would stop by and I never heard another word after that. I did see there was no TV but I would suggest adding one or a Bluetooth speaker for music. Maybe some board games, cards? Was happy with the size of the spaces. Needs the fence and gate fixed as the wind kept banging around the broken gate on night 2 of our stay. Stayed in many rentals and never left a bad review until now. So I’m not a picky renter.
