Really enjoyed this place. The elk and deer were in abundance, the wrap around deck is perfect for relaxation. The host took care to make sure this was a great stay.

My wife and I enjoyed it

When I arrived, the back bedroom with the twin beds had a strong urine odor. This was an issue with another guest from a previous review. The response from the host was that "the cleaning crew used Pine Sol and wondered if that might have caused the odor." I know the difference between the smell of Pine Sol and urine and that was definitely urine smell. Could NOT use the BBQ grill. There was so much debris on the bottom tray and heat deflectors that when I turned on the grill it all caught fire! I turned off the burners and gas to the grill, but the fire was still spewing out the back of the grill. Luckily the flames dissipated without having to use the fire extinguisher. The response from the host was that "the grill was fine the week prior to my arrival. Must be that the people before you used it a lot." The remote for the garage door did not work. There were spider webs on the deck railing, on the gate latch, and one of the sliding door handles. Most of the webs were in the corners of the railing. There were dirty dishes when I went to use them from the previous guests. Specifically, some of the small bowls had food remnants. I believe from the hosts responses to my emails is that the cabin was not inspected just prior to my arrival. I was disappointed with my experience and will not return to this cabin; the only highlight were the elk that came through with their baby calves. That was amazing to see!

Excellent host with fast and friendly communication! Squirrels, chipmunks, birds eat from the feeders on the wraparound deck and Elk that stop by for snacks at a trough on the property. Would highly recommend!

Ronda provides and excellent place for a quick getaway. Highly recommended

We had a wonderful stay here. We had thunderstorms most every day so that impeded our outdoor time, but were still able to enjoy some hiking and exploring. The cabin was very cozy and well stocked and equipped. We especially enjoyed seeing all the wildlife; elk, squirrels, hummingbirds and various other birds. It was a great escape from Phoenix!

We had the most amazing time! The cabin was clean and had everything you could ask for. The property was so peaceful and our family absolutely enjoyed seeing all the elf every morning and being able to feed them Everything was close enough and heading into town when we wanted to we will definitely be returning

Absolutely wonderful trip. This place is exactly as advertised. Quiet, private, and on the edge of the forest with wildlife galore. Had an awesome time.
