We were Adam’s first “renters”, a test run, with a time out coming shortly as his 74-year-old father and his wife will be moving in December 1, 2021 for the winter to recover from cancer treatments etc. The place was in transition, renovations occurring with hiccups (i.e. the furnace didn’t work but Adam arrived within an hour with electric heaters and he had already brought over new plush fleece blankets that day thinking we might be cold as the temperatures were dropping and we only had lovely down comforters on the beds). The place was sparsely decorated but we appreciated the simplicity and space for our belongings. Usually too many hosts have all this “stuff”to stage the home but there’s no room for our “stuff”. We had enough of everything for the four of us, we are hikers and we are used to doing with just enough. And honestly, we were happy. We were in the perfect location for Red Rocks Canyon Conservation National Park (20 minutes), Valley of Fire State Park (one hour) and Lake Mead recreation area (1 hour). We were so busy we never made it to the official Las Vegas Strip which was 15 minutes away. Adam was spot on responding to our texts and always helpful and supportive. He even offered to help me get my car fixed when there was a potential issue so I didn’t miss the group hike. Honestly this home has what it takes, it just needs a few finishing touches. What is there is plush, luxury, quality. It is open, clean, spacious, attractive. The hot water is HOT and there is enough for plenty of people to shower one after the other! Shopping is also convenient as are gas stations at a decent price. Honestly, we had rented another VRBO and Kevin, our host there, cancelled on us less than a week before our arrival with no reason whatsoever. We were part of a group trip, with our leader in our home. Adam allowed us in on short notice and was supportive all the way. We are grateful for how the situation evolved and where we landed because it was a lovely week and then some. We will clearly rent Adam’s home again.
