Stay
The house was just as expected when we arrived. The only thing that was weird is the front door was wide open (guessing it didn’t get closed properly and the wind got it?) our kids were scared as it was dark when we arrived. We had a fun time playing games and relaxing in between fishing tournament times. I was shocked to receive a message from the owner after our departure. It was a very rude and inappropriate comment about how we left the house. It was so shocking I messaged him for clarification and truly told my husband, maybe he has another Vrbo and got the two mixed up as we did dishes, cleaned counters, picked up and put all back where we found it. The only thing we forgot to do was take the trash out and our daughter said she may have left the horseshoes out in the backyard. Again, the property was exactly as expected but the message from the owner after was so uncalled for and out of line that I wouldn’t stay here not recommend to anyone.

Comfortable and fun. Far enough from the city to experience the wild but an easy drive to scottsdale. The grandchildren loved the game room and outside games as well as the lake and surrounding desert

Great place to stay!
Beautiful home with excellent accommodations indoor and out! Lots of space for all guests. The road up to the property is a bit narrow and the rocks on the road will make you slow down but we made it up hauling a full 20 ft trailer with our 1 ton dually. Owners are very easy to contact. We would stay again for sure!

Mouse (& maintenance) issues
Noticed droppings on the kitchen window sill, counter tops & under the sink, & found a live mouse in a drawer. Notified the owner & they came & set out one box under the sink & siren type alarms throughout the house. We still had to wipe down & sanitize the counters we used. Noticed many of door knobs were not secure onto doors, a water spout on sink for strained water was not secure on the sink, and mouse droppings on tv armoire in the living room & other window sills. Did not supply anymore than 3 kitchen towels & one dishcloth which we accidentally used to wipe off mouse droppings on kitchen counter requiring us to wash in washing machine. Exit door in laundry room had duct tape over what would be for the doggy door. Poorly stocked for garbage bags.

Lake and wedding weekend
The tonto house was perfectly located between lake and venue for wedding. We enjoyed our time with our kids and grandkids! Home was clean, spacious, and the pool table gave hours of entertainment when we weren't on the lake or doing weddings stuff.

We really enjoyed our stay. After being out on the lake all day long it was wonderful to come back to a cool clean home. The pool table was a huge bonus. Our family all took turns playing. Are only suggestion get some new pots and pan otherwise, it was perfect.

Peaceful getaway
We love the Tonto house. The fully fenced yard is great for dogs. We play pool, you can grill, watch a movie, badmiton, volleyball and cornhole. There are other games too. The house is always clean and inviting. The views are spectacular. We often see deer on out the kitchen and dining windows. The porch has super comfy couch and chairs for all. If it's cool there is a gas firepit outside too. This house is our peaceful getaway!
