Mountain-view home with private pool & spa, near trails - 3BR #220080

We loved the quietness of location. We loved all qualities of furniture and artsy decors. We liked the pool and spa even though we did not used it. We like the trail right outside of the house that stretches to 6-7 miles. We like all kitchen stuff provided. We did not like the cook top's exhausting fan did not work. We like all extra things like bikes, table tennis, etc provided even though we did not use.

The home was nice with desert feel. However, the pool and spa were not open to use. The property management company vakaska were very demanding and difficult to deal with. We booked our stay on short notice and paid upfront. Still I was getting multiple calls and requests to verify my identity and check in. At one point they were saying I needed to check in 22 miles away from the property. When we said we couldn't do that, it was a lot of calls to do the virtual check in. The code did not work as promis d and we had to call again for another code. On the day of the checkout I was getting text messages hours ahead of time rushing us out. The home is alright but all these inefficient extra steps were not needed and created stress while we are on vacation. Also they would have charged 100 a night to get the pool heated but again since we booked late it was not even an option. Obviously if you rent the home for the outdoor amenities this didn't make sense. Appreciat the due diligence but not necessary and wrong attitude for families renting out for 2 nights who already paid all and sent in all verifications. We booked through VRBO but don't know how this separate property management company came into play.

Great location and wonderful home. Everything was top notch. Not a single complaint!

The most bizarre part of this rental is dealing with Vacasa - the property manager. They appear to be using AI to answer text inquiries so you get incorrect and strange answers to questions. And they provide conflicting and missing information regarding check-in and check-out.

We loved the property. The management company was very responsive. There is access to hiking everywhere. My only complaint is it is a bit of drive to Palm Springs and because we took a short vacation we couldn’t explore that area as much as I would have liked. But, that’s on us! Will have to go back again.

Perfect house for our family!

We loved that all 3 bedrooms had their own bathrooms. Large living space made hanging out comfortable. We loved the pool.

What a cute ‘lil desert home. A sweet note and treat awaited our arrival. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of bath and pool towels. The pool was perfect for our two families. There were a couple umbrellas to help with shade and can’t beat that Mountain View! As mentioned in other reviews there were a few bees that you had to be aware of but left us alone for the most part. The only bummer may have been the controller for the pool lights was missing when we got there but we were able to address it with the pool guy and he was quick to try and help. The kitchen is well stocked! We were able to cook or bbq every meal! When we had any questions or concerns (didn’t realize there were extra trash bins in back?) everyone we came in contact with was so quick to respond and very kind and professional! We definitely hope to be back! Oh and if you happen to be there in winter or spring (or if you’re an early summer riser) definitely bring your hiking shoes! There’s some great trails!

This property needs updating both on the outside and inside. The view of the mountain is awesome but the pool decking is falling apart, can’t walk out side without shoes. It’s in dire need of repair. You can’t enjoy the area around it because you will be bit to death with mosquitoes and always dodging bees. There is a bee hive in the rocks of the spa. The beds in the house are comfortable but the bathrooms need updating from shower heads and handles to one of the toilets is not bolted down and rocks when you sit on it. One of the bathroom sinks needs repair to the stopper. Can only let the water out if you put your finger nails under it and pull it up. The toilet paper holder in the master bath is broken and every time you try to get a piece of paper it falls off to the floor. No batteries in the TV remote in master bedroom. The kitchen fry pans or skillets need replacing. Everything sticks to pan and teflon is all scratched off. Horrible driveway if you have more than one medium to large car. I would say the place is adequate if you don’t have very high expectations.

This home was perfect for us and our friend. Location was perfect and pool was in a perfect spot for the sun.

Waking up to that view of the mountain was unmatched! Definitely a great start to the day, gorgeous at night too. Know that this is a quiet neighborhood! The house was comfy, ac worked well, kitchen amenities were awesome (we cooked and bbq’d every meal). As mentioned in other reviews, there were a few bees and mosquitos and i’m guessing that is due to being close to the mountain- no wind! But we scooped a few bees from the pool, slapped on a little deet to the ankles at night and honestly, we were overall happy with this gorgeous spot.
