It was a wonderful experience in a nice and cozy cottage, the owner was always in communication making sure we we were comfortable and offered guidance around the neighborhood. We were happy with our stay in Gentle Squirrel.

Though we didn't use the fire place, there was plenty of wood and fire starters. The hot tub was clean and warm. The place was pretty clean and all around we enjoyed the stay.

This place was great. The wife and I now live in Havasu and it’s always HOT! A peaceful few days in the mountains in this cozy cabin was just what the doctor ordered. The fireplace was great! It had a full kitchen complete with any pots and pans you may need. The washer and dryer on site was a nice touch, The WiFi was easy to use. We loved the front porch and the backyard is amazing! It had a gas grill that we didn’t mange to use, a propane fire pit, nice lights, and the hot tub! The owner was also very easy to reach and communicate with! I would definitely stay here again!
