The house is located in a quiet area amongst the trees. Easy drive into the Whiskey Row/Courthouse area of Prescott. I booked this house as a same day rental. Communication with the owners was extremely prompt. I had an issue on my end with one of the required forms, but Mike took the time to help me.

Size of property and proximity to town was misleading. Overpriced for amenities.
