My husband and I were looking for a sunny winter place from which to work remotely and explore new hikes on the weekends and Abby's place was perfect for our purposes. The location is far enough out to feel special and yet close enough to everything you need to not feel isolated. The grocery store in the village was very well stocked for our needs.
We sat on the back patio every single day enjoying the sun on our faces. We saw hummingbirds, roadrunners, quail, desert cottontail rabbits and even big horn sheep all while enjoying the back patio - amazing! The lake in Lake Las Vegas was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed walking all over the area and soaking up the sun.
Abby was extremely fast in all responses to questions and she gave us tips for hikes which we thoroughly enjoyed. Abby's place has everything you need. The bed and couch were comfortable, the fridge was a great size for us since we enjoy cooking and her small decorative touches made it feel like home.
We enjoyed several restaurants in the village and found them all to be very good. And we also enjoyed exploring Henderson and Boulder City. There are miles and miles of hike and bike trails, not to mention great desert hikes in canyons and petroglyph hikes and let's not forget the historic railroad trail near Lake Mead.
I could go on and on - suffice it to say that Abby's place is a wonderful base from which to explore this amazing area. There is so much to do that if you are not into gambling and the strip you can keep yourself entertained for months without ever stepping foot on the strip. And try every sushi restaurant you can - we found all the quality to be amazing. Thanks for the wonderful getaway, Abby - we hope to return!
