Mary's house was wonderful! I looked at all the previous reviews and trusted the opinions of others and booked this house. Of course, there were a few negative reviews, but you can't please everyone. We opted for a location away from the Strip because we were on a family/work vacation. The strip however, was only about 20-25 min away (with traffic) and an Uber was about $26 dollars one way - although we didn't use it. Around the corner from the house you will find MANY options for dining, shopping, and entertainment. Green Valley Resort Casino and the M Resort Casino are only 5-10 minutes away - they are out of the way and not as busy as the strip casinos. Side note, as of today, both their buffets are closed. There were several good options for grocery stores as we decided to cook breakfast at the house every morning. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, pots, pans, dishes, paper plates, utensils, including a fridge full of water bottles. There were a variety of tea bags plus k-cups. We didn't use the Keurig, because we are loyal French press fans, so we brought our own. However, several of the pots and pans could be updated, they were heavily used and the nonstick surface was no longer nonstick. Small issue in my opinion compared to the big issue we faced on our second night.
As my girls dried their hair with a hair dryer, one of the circuit breakers tripped causing the wi-fi to go down which in turn caused the thermostat to go off-line. I texted Mary and she quickly responded giving me instructions on how to reset. It didn't work, so she showed up pretty fast at the house, investigated the problem and had the power (bedroom) and wi-fi back up in about 20 minutes. It was nice to meet Mary in person and she was out the door as quickly as she came. After that scenario, we had absolutely no problems for the rest of our 7 night stay.
You won't go wrong booking this home. It was clean, very spacious for my family (2 adults, 5 kids) and very comfortable. The pool table was fun for my kids, they enjoyed playing and passing the time. There are board games available including Monopoly if you like to do family game night. There are TVs in every room and I believe all of them are loaded with Netflix, Cable, and Youtube including other apps. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, plenty of space for everyone to get ready in the morning. The beds were a bit hard for us but that's just our opinion. Mary even provided shampoo, conditioner, handsoap, and handwash for every bathroom - that was a nice touch. A washer and dryer are available, I did see detergent in the cupboard but we bought our own and did all our laundry before leaving. The backyard patio was beautiful, it came with tables and outdoor seating and a huge grill. Since the weather was pretty cold and windy, we rarely went outside nor did we use the grill.
Overall, we had an amazing time at Mary's house. If we come back to the area, we will surely book her home again. Lastly, there is a "Home Manual" that everyone needs to read before booking the home. This is not a home for loud parties or unruly guests, it is a place to relax, rest and enjoy the comforts of home, away from home. Thank you Mary!
