"Great location while visiting our son at Embry Riddle University. Only a five minute drive to the campus. We enjoyed the trails around Willow lake as they are a short walk away from this property. The property was very clean, spacious, and well appointed. There is a desk in one of the bedrooms which was a bonus for our son to work on assignments while we were there. Water pressure for showering was great. Beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the screened in porch and use of the garage. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in Prescott."

"This property was truly something special. From the moment we arrived, it felt like an instant home for the weekend. There is such a unique charm to this place—you can tell it has been thoughtfully cared for, loved on, and filled with so much intention.Every detail made the space feel warm, welcoming, and unlike a typical rental. It felt less like staying at a property and more like being welcomed into a place with its own personality and story.One of the most special parts of our stay was getting the chance to meet the owners. They were so wonderful, and getting to connect with them made the entire experience feel even more magical.We left feeling grateful for the memories we made and wishing we could stay just a little longer. This was more than just a weekend getaway—it was such a special experience, and we would absolutely love to return!"
