Five of us enjoyed six wonderful nights at Crystal and Si's place. It is immaculately clean and looks exactly as pictured. Self check-in is a breeze. The welcome drinks and snacks were much appreciated - along with all the extra household items - paper towels, dish detergent, salt & pepper, soaps, lotions, shampoo, etc.
Crystal and Si responded immediately to any questions/concerns we had and went out of their way to assure we enjoyed our stay. For example, no reflection on them, but the internet was not working properly. (I've had the same issues!) Si, immediately contacted his internet provider and pleasantly dealt with the hassles of getting the issue resolved right away. Even when internet provider "accidently" disconnected the call - ugh I've had that happen to me too - very frustrating. But again, Si was most professional and pleasant calling back and getting the issue fully resolved. Then no problems at all for the remainder of our stay!!
Again - no reflection on Crystal or Si, but the complex was cleaning and painting the pool/hot tub deck during part of our stay. Si made sure we had access to another hot tub area and that was perfect! Before we left the pool/hot tub by us was fully functional and we totally enjoyed it. So amenities are terrific! And again, Si made certain his Airbnb lived up to our expectations.
One of the BEST parts for my husband and me was the LOCATION - directly across the street from Lone Mountain! Fabulous climb to the summit - along with a simple (I think 2 mile) walking trail, as well as a similarly long foothills trail around the mountain with a terrific park on the back side. We climbed the summit twice. And walked the foothills trail. Just be prepared - hiking boots are FAR BETTER than sneakers - loose gravel and steep incline to summit. If you want to climb but not get to the summit there's a bench at the first saddle-back that provides a good stopping point along with the feeling of an accomplished climbing experience. IF you are there in summer months take water!! No shade of any kind on this hike.
LOCATION also proved a quick trip to RED ROCK CANYON - we went out there twice. One trip included horseback riding at Cowboy Trail Rides. Great time was enjoyed by all! Maybe an easy hour drive to THE VALLEY OF FIRE - totally worth it!! And maybe only a 40 minute drive to MT CHARLESTON - again - AWESOME! Definitely stop at The Visitor Gateway. The drive to The Strip was just over 20 minutes with free parking at Treasure Island Self Park. Perfect!
And perhaps our favorite Farm to Table restaurant (off the strip) and only a 15 minute drive away in a strip mall is Honey Salt. YUM!!
Si provided lots of other great recommendations and is an absolutely wonderful super host. Highly recommend.
