We stayed here with our kids and my parents for a trip to the Grand Canyon. Lacey is such a proactive, hospitable, thoughtful host. Every detail about the Desert Ruby is well thought out! The home had all the cooking equipment we needed to cook meals. It even had toys, games, and great picture books about the Grand Canyon and the surrounding area we enjoyed as a family.
