Dawn was always friendly and helpful when we spoke on the phone. Our party was arriving at staggered times and she accommodated us by letting the first to arrive get into the house early. Her welcome letter had directions and instructions that were straight forward and easy to follow. The house itself worked perfectly for us. The rooms were all a good size to house the six adults with ease, from bedrooms to living rooms and a great kitchen and eating area ! All the furniture was new, comfortable and clean. Dawn had the beds all made up for us with new linens and quilts. The bathrooms were well stocked with towels and the kitchen was well equipped to suit our needs! We were also impressed with the fact that there were ample paper products, cleaning supplies and dishwashing soap to get us started on our months stay.The location of the house was a bonus. Not knowing the areas surrounding Phoenix, we lucked into Glendale. We found the location of the house close to all amenities for groceries, shopping, fuel, etc... When we went on a day trip it was easy to travel with the main road so close and we were not on the busiest side of town. We enjoyed trips to the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Cave Creek, Old Town Scottsdale, White Tank Mountain, the Botanical Gardens,and a State Park right in Glendale with lots of peacocks! We even visited a bulldog breeder who lived close to us! We all liked Phoenix better than we expected! The mountains surrounding the valley were beautiful. We were amazed at the large farm fields right in the city, or so it seemed. The continual planting, harvesting, ploughing , seeding irrigating of these fields intrigued us. Their growing season never ends!! We also got in some shopping while there and the selection is stores is second to none. The Outlet Mall was minutes away. We are hoping we can all coordinate our time to get together in this home in Glendale again next year!! Thank you Dawn!!
