We had a great time in Vegas. This was our first trip off the strip so we wanted to see more of the desert. Homeowner was very helpful with suggestions of things to do in advance of our trip so we could plan and had lots of information at the home. She met us at check in and went through all details. The house is bright and open, we loved the layout and it had everything needed. The homeowner’s personal touches made us feel very much at home which is why we enjoy using VRBO. If we wanted a generic and sterile environment, we would stay in a hotel. The pool was beautiful and you can sit in the sun room (air conditioning) and still enjoy the backyard. We used the spa for a relaxing afternoon. We could park the rental car in the garage which was very convenient. The landscaping in the back yard was very nice. I enjoyed my coffee by the pool every morning with the mountain view just over the privacy wall. You can be in the desert in 15 min and at Mt Charleston is what feels like 30 so we visited several times to enjoy the relaxing landscape of the desert. Had a delicious lunch at the resort on the way to Mt Charleston. The area around the house is very quiet, walking friendly, has sidewalks everywhere and every restaurant or shopping place you would need in driving distance. It felt very private even though someone rents the small Casita on the property, it is separated completely from the main home. The house is also on 30 min the strip so we felt like had the best the worlds. We spent the days relaxing at the house and desert and the evenings downtown! Thank You Sigrid!
