At first glance the interior seemed nice. However the majority of the beds are old. The mattresses had permanent indentations from previous use. There is not a kitchen table. There is a bar with high stools that are not safe for children. There was a constant dinging sound from one of the rooms that are permanently locked. The constant dinging sound and the uncomfortable beds… not much sleep. The back fence had several gates. All were open and the wooden wall was almost collapsed. We found ways to close the gates for the children’s safety. There wasn’t any backyard furniture. The front porch had a small round table and the wooden railing had chicken wire that was not securely fastened. Probably for pets. We do not have pets. The green outdoor, kind of like fake grass, was worn and dirty. The water pressure was Terrible even though we were conscious of when others might be flushing or using the other shower. The toilets are very short. Not helpful for older clientele. The amount of cob webs everywhere prompted us to sweep and clean for the children. There was plenty of TVs if you go to the mountains to watch TV. The king bed sheets had a tear. And the stairs are steep and dangerous, especially on the iced steps.

This house is in a great spot in Pinetop. It is tucked away in a nice little neighborhood in the woods that is quiet and family friendly. It was a 10-15 minute drive to do the things we wanted too (parks, hiking, shopping, etc.). CONS: It advertises a gym, but all we found was a treadmill that didn't work. The back deck had a couple of boards that were not secured and the backyard area could use some TLC. However, we still found this to be a nice and usable space for our family and really enjoyed our stay there.

We did enjoy the cooler temperatures. The Pinetop area is very peaceful & a good place to unwind. There was plenty of room for our family of six. The original design & decoration of this house are beautiful but the place needs some maintenance & TLC. The deck (which goes about three-quarters around the house), the back entrance onto the deck & outdoor spa (which has hazard tape already) are all safety hazards.

Our friends stayed in the home. We don't have enough room in our home just down the street . We have rented 3 years in a row and not had a problem. This year after our last friend took a shower in the hall bath and everything was working great, the cleaners came and said the holder for the handheld shower head had broken off. The photo the owner sent me shows cracks in the plastic in several places in addition to the place that was broken. The owner insisted that we had done the damage, not his cleaners & not that the shower head was cracked and old. Even though we had nothing to do with it breaking, we offered to replace it. He refused and hired someone and wanted us to pay for all of it, then settled for 1/2. We are more than happy to replace anything we legitimately damaged ... this was just very disappointing. I fully trust my friends.

Excellent trip! The home was wonderful! Clean, comfortable, and very nice with beautiful views of the woods, in a very quiet and wooded neighborhood . David was very attentive and responsive to any questions. We had zero issues. The kitchen was fully stocked. We enjoyed the enclosed room with all the windows especially when it rained. He has a very comfortable work area to do work big enough for 2 people to be working at the same time, with very comfortable chairs. Great neighborhood for walking. Overall just an awesome stay!!

Just like home-- only cleaner

Just like home-- only cleaner

A wonderfully clean, warm and inviting vacation location for family between Phoenix/Tucson and Albuquerque. The altitude, a smidgen below 7,000 ft, made this a wonderful escape from the valley heat. Our nephews enjoyed watching the squirrels. The 2nd floor wrap around balcony was perfectly safe for the little ones (2 and 4). There was spacious room throughout the house and a great alternative to renting a number of rooms at a hotel. We loved the growth chart in the laundry room which brought up a ton of wonderful memories. The owner was quick to answer our inquiries before and during our visit. I highly recommend this location for a lovely, relaxing atmosphere!

This was just what we were looking for. We were originally concerned with the two story for our parents, but in reality everything is on the top floor, and with the back entrance they were able to enjoy the property without the stairs. We would definitely stay again.

Mountain Top Solitude

Mountain Top Solitude

This house is built into a hill so it provides a cool, secluded backyard and a man cave downstairs for anyone wanting a cool, dark bedroom. The foyer also provides good storage for bikes or ski gear without having to mess up the upstairs living space. My wife and I have stayed at lots of VRBOs, and David was uber responsive and he paid attention to details. We initially had router / connection problems, but David got a replacement router and that solved our problem. The home is close to town and restaurants, but far enough away that you feel in the country. If you want to cook, it has a large kitchen with all the necessary cooking utensils and spices. The wifi in Pinetop is not awesome, nor is Verizon very good, but the home's new router allowed streaming of netflix, etc. on 3 devices with no buffering. You just cannot download a video so do that before you leave your home. Warning, the spa is not currently working, but we did not plan on using it so no big deal for us. We will definitely be back. Thanks David.
