It’s quite a cute place — quite new, clean, charming, efficient. Felt like home. We ran into a few snafus (hey, “stuff happens!”), but the property’s owners were right on it — extraordinarily nice, responsive, accommodating … just what vacation renters hope for. The cottage is close to Lakeside center — convenient for food, entertainment, services, and it’s even across the street from a park/pond/hiking path. (While the house is not in a super attractive immediate neighborhood — we didn’t find that a problem; it’s an easy place for walking — both for us and our dogs). We would recommend vacationing in Lakeside/Pinetop and choosing to stay at this cozy rental property … and we’d nominate these property owners for a VRBO award for responsiveness, niceness,, and renter assistance.
