We wanted a couple of days up in the hills to experience more of Arizona's diverse landscape, and staying at Lauren's place in Young didn't disappoint. The cottage is so cute, and completely comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped for those who, like us, cook every meal. The wee enclosed front yard was great for our dogs. Speaking of dogs, Lauren, more than any other host we've stayed with, provides for pooches - blankets, dishes, couch covers, poo bags - really thoughtful and helpful. For us the only, minor, drawback was an inconsistent, temperamental internet connection. The signal in the cottage isn't strong and it dropped out frequently - it couldn't be relied on if you need access for work or such. We didn't have a data signal on our phones either - again not a problem for us - but do be prepared for more of an off-grid experience. I'd recommend just enjoying where you are - it's an absolutely lovely area. It snowed while we were there, and we had a huge elk visit during the night - it was brief but exciting!  ~ Tania, Texas
