This was a wonderful by little home away from home. A great space literally right at the start of the Three Twisted Sisters Trail. The home has all of the comforts one needs to stay, play, eat, and sleep. Comfortable furnishings to relax in. Plenty of kitchen gear to cook meals or reheat leftovers. Entertainment options for enjoying your downtime after a day of exploring and adventures. Close to town while staying rural with deer and other wildlife walking right up to the back yard. And the hosts were accommodating and responsive, answering our questions promptly and meeting our needs throughout the trip. The welcome “basket” was an awesome touch with snacks and treats and even thoughtful toys for our pet. Thank you so much to Pablo and Rosy for the wonderful home away from home.

Well, the home was ok but we chose this location because of the space outside. It was in horrible condition with grass over a foot long! Tried to get owners to clean up....they ignored us. Not a very good experience for sure!

Great property and great host. House was clean and well furnished included a thoughtful array of gifts to enjoy during our stay. I was in the area to ride motorcycles and this is the perfect launching spot for that or any other adventure. Highly recommend, we will likely be back. Thanks!

This rental nestled in the heart of Medina is right next to the Old Timer & downtown Medina. The upgraded home is quiet & restful with a backyard that looks out over a field where Axel deer visit regularly. I had a wonderful visit & enjoyed every minute staying here.
