Views for days
We stayed with family and brought our SxS's. There are so many trails near by, there endless fun. The home was super clean and huge. We loved hanging on the patio in the morning and afternoon listening to the birds. The bed was super comfortable. The only down side was the internet as it was out most of our trip. We have family near by and they said it's pretty normal for the service they had. I'll make a recommendation and I'm sure they will look into it. I read other reviews about needing a grill light recently and I saw that one was added. Great host very friendly and we would love to stay again.

Exceeded expectations - a dog owner's dream!
The house has spacious rooms and TONS of space inside and out. We spent almost a week there over Christmas and did all of our cooking in the well-appointed kitchen. The huge table sits six comfortably (with the two extra folding chairs added to the four super comfy dining chairs). The house provides an excellent opportunity for family/friend gathering fun. We played more pool than we have in years! The patio provides stunning views of the surrounding mountains. We enjoyed our coffee each morning accompanied by a beautiful view of the sunrise over the mountains. This house is PERFECTLY set up for families traveling with their canine family members. There was a dog dish set up outside already and a pooper scooper provided. The backyard is also primarily sand, which was comfy on our pup's paws while exploring the beautifully fenced yard, which is reinforced all along the bottom for extra security. The only glitch we experienced was because Wi-fi is via satellite provider and was down one day of our trip. The rest of he time it was fine. We have friends and family in the area who say it's the norm for the service to go out occasionally, but not often. The owner was responsive within a few hours. It was okay for our vacation but I could see it as an issue if I were attempting to work remote while on vacation. It was extremely helpful to have the ability to do our own laundry on-site as well. Highly recommend this house! We'll book again while in Tonto Basin!

Location, Location, Comfort, and Games!
We (two older couples) stayed a couple of nights at the Tonto House in order to hike a couple of sections of the Arizona Trail. The house was superbly located for the two trailheads we needed to access. It is the most comfortable of the three houses we have rented in the vicinity, and it has the most amazing collection of games -- lovely pool table, horse shoes, badminton, cornhole, board games and two huge TVs. Jeff was incredibly prompt to answer text messages (we had the dishwasher fail to drain mid-cycle) and most accommodating. We are thinking of renting the Tonto House again to complete our one last remaining unhiked section of the AZT in the vicinity.

It’s so exciting when the home actually exceeds the expectations set by the online photos! We had a wonderful time while there and will absolutely be looking for dates to return! Communication with VRBO and the owners was great as well. Thank you for a fantastic time.

SO relaxing and beautiful
Tonto house never fails to give us a beautiful view and lots of fun. There was a family of deer that was hanging out on the ridge. So beautiful to watch them. We played pool and also hung out outside. It really is a peaceful and relaxing place to enjoy with your family and friends AND dog friendly too.
