NXR Stay
We absolutely love being able to stay at the Cabin in the desert for our NXR trip. It fits all of us, allows us to eat together and still have space for downtime and play all while being able to monitor the kids! Plus it is close to the race course as well!

Great stay for groups of people
Overall, it was a great house. We rented it for our wedding weekend. We were able to host everyone very comfortably. There were plenty of places for everyone to sleep and have a bed to themselves. The backyard is incredible and perfect for hosting. There were so many fun things to do. The host, Katie was amazing. Very responsive and helpful whenever I had a question.

Great House, wonderful hosts!
The house was surely big enough for our group. We had a blast in the pool every day! The layout of the bedrooms and living rooms was definitely different than what I had envisioned from the pictures. Lots of space and the kitchen worked great for our group! 22 of us slept there and then my brothers family joined in during the days. For being on a busy road we wished the front gate could close and would have felt more comfortable letting kids play outside but we totally understood why it couldn’t. Overall great stay! Lots of fun memories made at a family.

Katie was easy to get in touch with. pickle and basketball courts a definite hit! Beds comfy. nice open kitchen/dining area. We will definitely be back!!

Perfect for large group
This is an enormous property with a wide range of both indoor sleeping and entertainment options as well as extensive outdoor activity opportunities. Our group was very pleased with the pool and sport courts and the privacy that the property fence provided. Numerous different sitting areas indoors provided many options for adults, teens, or younger children to gather and play games, watch TV, etc. lots of bedrooms, bathrooms, and 2 laundry rooms added to the enjoyment of the property. Great communication and flexibility with the home owner. Would highly recommend.

Spring break Trip
Our college lacrosse team stayed here on our spring break trip. It was very nice and clean with plenty of room for the 25 of us to live there comfortably for a week. The outdoor space was great and we spent a lot of time in the pool and playing pickle ball. It was in a very convenient location and lots of restaurants and activities to do close to the house. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Family Holiday Stay
This home was great for an extended family get together for the holidays. The large eat in kitchen was stocked with the basics to make any meal. The pickleball court and basketball hoop was a big hit with the kids. The pool and spa were very clean. All of the queen and king size beds were comfortable and clean. The bunk beds could use new mattresses - but, overall, this VRBO suited the needs of our family.

Perfect location for our family reunion staycation. 20 stayed at the house, and others at hotels. The basement has a small kitchen, bath, 3 bedrooms and a tv open area, great for for young adults The main floor is open kitchen with big island for food and hanging out. 4 bedrooms, 3 bath, and A TV viewing room on one side of house. Kitchen and big game room on the other side. We used all the fun games, pickleball, Cornhole, ping pong, basketball, connect 4. TV's have streaming We upgraded to an event to have 40+ family during the day. Our hostess,Katie, was quick for questions and helped make our event happen. Not a wedding or a funeral😊. Just a great family that finally got gather ❤️ Perfect space!

Great place for a team to stay!
My son’s basketball team and all the parents stayed in house for a weekend. Plenty of room for everyone! Lots of rooms, beds, hang out spaces. Loved the pool and jacuzzi and the pickleball court and basketball net. Boys loved the theater room. We had plenty of sheets, blankets, and towels. Kitchen is well stocked. A few things that would have made it even better: The front door is a lock with a code. It was very picky, sometimes took serval minutes to get it to lock or unlock. Only 4 chairs for the pool area and two umbrellas. But the house sleeps 25. Need more chairs. Would be great to have some flotation devices for the pool. Bring your own! Great stay overall. Thank you!
