We have traditionally spent Christmas in the Paradise Valley, close to or at Chico Hot Springs. This year we decided to try a rental away from the Chico property and while this was not our first choice, the stay suited our needs. We have two dogs who travel with us and the property accommodated all of our needs. Two points which were a bit disappointing. The house was cold and it took quite a while to get it warm; low temperatures and a strong wind did not help but the house, especially close to the air conditioning units was not tightly sealed and so it was cool to cold a good deal of the time. Also when we go somewhere we tend to read a great deal; unlike our lives at home, where we are otherwise occupied when we vacation one thing we do is try to catch up on reading. But the house offered poor lighting at best for any reading and even to get to the point of passable, we had to turn on all of the overhead lights and bring lights over to get even close to proper illumination. Higher wattage bulbs might have helped a great deal. Aside from these two points the house was clean, new appearing and more than adequate for our needs.
