The property is located up on a hill, and the views from the front deck are simply amazing. That certainly is the highlight of the property. Unfortunately, the deck is badly in need of restoration and the patio benches on the deck are literally falling apart. The owners or property management have put towels down on some of the benches, presumably so that guests do not get splinters. It is a shame that the views that are so beautiful come from a deck that is in desperate need of restoration.
Overall, the cleanliness of the house was good. Stay, we could not find a corkscrew/wine opener, nor could we find a cutting board, and the utensils were of a complete mishmash, with the majority of the state/cutting knives badly dulled.
The Wi-Fi was top-notch .The downstairs is a good set up for kids so they can have .their area. I only showered in the upstairs master bath shower, but the showerhead was absurdly bad. There was no stream of water instead showerhead kindness spit out the water and traveled about 10 inches.
There is no dumpster on site, so you actually have to take your trash into town and to have it thrown away. You pay $5 per bag regardless of the size so if you go that route take very large outdoor trash bags to stuff your kitchen trash bags into to you don't have as many trash bags – the other option is to take your trash with you.
The owner/property managers recommend you take your trash to "Uncle Tom's" – really ?!? This is 2022, but it also tells you a lot about attitudes in this region of the state, unfortunately sad but true commentary. At least the business next door has the decency to have a big sign out front advising to "BOYCOTT UNCLE TOM'S"
There is only one bathroom on the main floor to serve two-bedrooms and all of the guests who are spending time in the living room, dining area, or kitchen.
The owners did provide us some extra time to check out which was. Unfortunately, we forgot to pack up our Amazon fire stick, and as I write this review 3 weeks from when we checked in, I have neither received my Amazon fire stick nor received any communication that it has actually been sent. Did receive a text message saying something about an emergency, which I understand happened but, come on it has been almost 3 weeks since we left.
Pine Arizona is not as high up as Flagstaff, so the temperatures were approaching 100°. Flagstaff was 10° cooler and you don't have to worry about encountering a business called Uncle Tom's.
