Wonderful location to explore!

This house was wonderful to come back to after long days on the desert exploring off road. House was very clean and even had an assortment of complimentary items stocked. Will stay again when weather warmer to enjoy the pool next time!

Beautiful property in a gorgeous location

This was a beautiful property in a gorgeous location -- the outdoor space is even nicer in person than in the pictures. The host went above and beyond to make sure the home had a lot of extras -- very kind!

Hidden gem in the desert!

This home is absolutely amazing. The host is extremely nice and quick to respond to messages. I had zero issues while at the home and love how many activities they have setup for guests to enjoy. The area has many things to offer within 1-2 hours drive including snowy mountains, desert hikes, National Parks and so much more. You won't regret staying here!

Desert Gem!!

Such an amazing experience at a tastefully decorated and well-appointed vacation rental. My kids had a blast playing on the property and my husband and I enjoyed the quiet and beauty the desert has to offer. We can’t wait to come back once the pool house is done. Thanks so much for an awesome week in the desert.

A little slice of Heaven.

Not sure where to begin, the house was beautiful, everything inside was beautiful and the host had everything you could need. The location was so peaceful and quiet. And even though it was just 2 days after the tropical storm, it was obvious how quickly they work to clear all the roads in the area. If you're looking for peace and tranquility and pure relaxation, this is the place. Already planning our next trip back

Desert Oasis!!!

The Finca is a lovely stay. Beautifully appointed. Peaceful. Stunning sunrise and sunset. The kitchen was fully loaded, everything we needed was there. The coffee machine itself was a stellar experience. The pool, a refreshing plunge and the spa a delight. We enjoyed a bit of corn holing during our cocktail hour. Ingrid was super helpful. We had a fantastic time. Thanks!!

29th Anniversary trip to Finca Tecolote

I don’t know where to start…ABSOLUTELY the BEST stay at a beautiful home oasis in the desert EVER. Finca Tecolote had everything we could have ever needed or wanted. The desert décor was on point and we felt right at home.

High Desert, Cool Pool

We fully expected/welcomed the heat, and thoroughly enjoyed the cool waters of the swimming pool. Dad is no longer undefeated in corn-hole. The kids were introduced to tether-ball. They climbed Goat Mountain(that's what they said it was called). Lots of card games on the back patio and at the dining room table. We saw coyote, rabbits, roadrunner, illuminated scorpion and hawk/kestrel! The house was as promised, emaculate and well thought-thru. We have NO complaints and lots of fun, fond and great memories.

Exactly as Advertised

Would stay here again in a heartbeat. The house was perfect, and had a little bit of everything. Could the pool be warmer? Sure. But I imagine in late summer it is.

Great Desert Get-A-Way

I brought the family which included 2 dogs, 2 kids (under 12) and my wife. Everyone had such a great time that they wanted to increase the length of our stay. The home automation system allowed for easy entry via the wireless keypad. Sound systems, lights, and TV were also all accessible via voice control making it super easy to use. The check-in book provided by the host walked us through everything from wifi access to places to eat to other fun things to do. Dog toys, kids outdoor games, the pool, BBQ and spa were spot on. They even had all the fixings for smoors waiting for us to use in the outdoor firepit which had wood provided! Thanks for sharing your wonderful home. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great desert get-a-way.

Remarkable

The pictures and descriptions give this place no justice. I am not big on writing reviews, every place falls short in some spots and is great in others. Not this place it is just perfect. He is how much they go above and beyond and every parent will understand. My youngest son twisted his ankle on a hike and boom in medicine drawer Children's motrin. And that is how you get repeat customers.
