Lovely Home With Wonderful Hosts

We stayed here for several nights while we had carpet installed in our home. This property is absolutely lovely and the neighborhood is clean and quiet. Hosts were wonderfully accommodating and let us extend an extra night when we needed it. We were very happy with the television selections and the beds and bathrooms were comfortable. Highest recommendation given!!

Minnesota Couple

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the 55+ Anthem Merrill Ranch community. The location was very accessible to walking, biking, the Union Center, and within driving distance to the Anthem Grille restaurant and Safeway grocery store. The weather was ideal during the month of February and early March and we especially enjoyed relaxing in the private fenced backyard area. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely house

Super clean. Every conceivable kitchen gadget. Lots of big towels. Bathroom consumables all supplied. Bed very comfy and huge. Garage ginormous and easily fitted our Rav 4. Area very quiet but local restaurants all v nice. River Bottom is a bit feisty perhaps but food v good and portions huge. Local Safeway is a bit pricey but Walmart not too much further and more reasonable. Highly recommended by a pair of Gen X Europeans. Thank you Drew and Lacey.x
