    We stayed here with our kids and my parents for a trip to the Grand Canyon. Lacey is such a proactive, hospitable, thoughtful host. Every detail about the Desert Ruby is well thought out! The home had all the cooking equipment we needed to cook meals. It even had toys, games, and great picture books about the Grand Canyon and the surrounding area we enjoyed as a family.

    There were 7 of us (high school seniors and chaperones). The location was perfect! Everything about the home was exactly as it was listed and everything we needed. The owner was so helpful. I would stay again anytime!
