We decided to stay for 4 nights and we have no regrets. We were able to see a variety of sunsets each night, as well as, variety in the stars at night. We also had enough time to see everything nearby. We also walked the neighborhood nightly before sunset and even bought fresh eggs from a friendly neighbor.
I do agree you should arrive before sunset the first night, one to see where you are going, but mostly so you can enjoy the stunning views. We also brought groceries so we could cook dinner and breakfast each day, again, to enjoy the view. We were welcomed with giant rainbows two of the four mornings and the biggest was on Christmas morning!
The house cooled down nightly and we slept like babies (it's so quiet).
The ladder to the top bed is a bit tricky to get used to but we managed. I am sure if someone couldn't handle it, you could always sleep in the pullout downstairs.
Overall we were so happy here at The Phoenix House.
