Jill & John

A wonderful place to be in every way. I can't imagine coming to the Valley and staying anywhere else! Thanks so much for the hospitality. The whole family had a terrific experience.

What a wonderful-and cozy!-home. We love the neighborhood. So much charm. And, coming from wisconsins, the weather wasn't too shabby either. Thanks for opening up your doors to us. We look forward to returning.

We absolutely loved the Holly Cottage. The location worked quite well for us. Coming from the airport, we got on the free shuttle that took us to the light rail ($1.25)& that took us to the convention center & then we caught bus #15 for $1.25 (or $.60 if you are over 65) that dropped us off 3/4 of a block from the house. My friend paid $30 to get from the airport to the convention center by taxi.

The house itself is well appointed & had all kinds of extras that we did not expect. Our hosts went above & beyond to make us feel welcome.

Having 3 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms as well as a separate library was wonderful. There are two patio areas to sit & unwind. Sometimes the guys were on the back patio & the gals were on the side patio (just like normal). We had plenty of room to eat together & yet each couple had their own space to retreat to.
We are planning to return in 3 years for another convention & will stay at Holly cottage again. We highly recommend staying here, just let us have our time again.

Jill and John-

We have really enjoyed our week in your charming "Holly Cottage". It's been fun to explore another area of Phoenix - what a great neighborhood.

The house and all the amenities were perfect. You are thoughtful and gracious hosts.

When we decide to sell our condo and become real winter snowbirds, we'll be in touch.

Meanwhile, thank you!

Thank you for a lovely stay here at Holly Cottage. We have been very comfortable here - everything we could have wished for - and then some! We especially enjoyed the well equipped kitchen and the BBQ! The location worked very well for us: close to family, shopping, and downtown.

Au Revoir!

As if the charm, great location, and super condition/newly remodel of the cottage weren't enough....John and Jill supplied us with a wonderful welcome basket of goodies, recommendations, and loads of information on Phoenix! This is a home, comfortable, supplied with everything but our toothbrushes and clothes. Everything is modern and full of character. Having the city park across the street was great. We were so close to downtown and the freeways - made this an ideal location for our stay. Thanks to John and Jill and we'll be back for sure!

This has been a great week. We truly enjoyed staying at Holly Cottage. It is a very comfortable house with a "home" feel to it.

Thanks to John and Jill for their hospitality. We had an active week hiking and seeing the sites, so it was comforting to return here each day for some quiet relaxation. Time has passed by too quickly - a sure sign that we have enjoyed staying here.

We will be back!

John & Jill, I have enjoyed a most delightful vacation in Phoenix and most of the credit goes to both of you. I felt totally comfortable staying in your cozy and charming cottage. You have maintained all the charm of the era gonebye and still having the updated kitchen, etc. As I mentioned, I would like to come back in November. I look forward to staying here again. Sincerely, Cindy

John and Jill have remodeled this house which was built in 1938 and have managed to keep the ambience and charm of the original house while updating with modern ammenities and appliances. We really enjoyed the house and the neighborhood as the house is located in a historical district, so each house has its own charm, and the neighborghood does as well.
John and Jill are great hosts. They live next door to the rental, so they are available if you need them, but they are not intrusive in any way.
They showed great attention to detail and made my husband, myself, and our dog Gabriel feel very welcome. They are first class renters and have a first class rental property - they should be very proud!!! If you want to see a part of Phoenix that you would never normally see - definitely stay at this rental. We highly recommend.
