Comfortable and fun. Far enough from the city to experience the wild but an easy drive to scottsdale. The grandchildren loved the game room and outside games as well as the lake and surrounding desert

Great place to stay!

Beautiful home with excellent accommodations indoor and out! Lots of space for all guests. The road up to the property is a bit narrow and the rocks on the road will make you slow down but we made it up hauling a full 20 ft trailer with our 1 ton dually. Owners are very easy to contact. We would stay again for sure!

Memorial weekend gem

We frequent Lake Roosevelt on holidays and have stayed at multiple places, this trip was a friend group of 8 and we had the absolute BEST time. Perfect location in town but close to the lake. The privacy and peaceful morning wakeup of nature was impeccable! A few of us have high oressure jobs and it takes a while to unwind, here it was immediate! The house was BEAUTIFUL, clean and stocked with games and a welcoming Auora. It was better then listed! We will ABSOLUTELY be staying here again! Thank you!

Awesome house not far from Lake Roosevelt

The house was very clean and provided everything that we needed. It was very nicely furnished. Our purpose for staying there was to enjoy the lake, so we weren't really there all that much, but it was very comfortable when we were. We were able to park our boat trailer there at the house, which was great, since we were able to get a boat slip at Roosevelt.The only thing that wasn't very good was the WIFI, which was a little disappointing, as Verizon coverage is very spotty there in Tonto Basin.Thank you for having such an awesome house for us to stay at. We will stay again.
