  Great property. Awesome stay. The only issue was there was a dead mouse or a dying mouse in the middle of the floor in the master bedroom. We used a shovel and threw it outdoors.

  • Manager Responded on 2/25/2025

    Oh no, I am so sorry you found a mouse, we had been in the house just the day before and there was no evidence of mice then. I am glad you enjoyed your stay other than that

  Mical B from Orondo, WA recommends this vacation rental

  Nice home, great location. Wintertime driveway can be a challenge, I had to shovel ice off driveway to access home easily thru garage, too much snow and ice on front door entry area. Recommend ice melt be made available for renters. House/kitchen was well equipped. Should replace worn out rugs, Blue tape holding rug down dining area is very Tackey. Several of the shades are missing or damaged, those should be replaced as well. Loved all the games, Packman was a big hit. Also recommend rugs at entry way to put shoes etc.... We did not think Beds were very comfortable, was happy we brought our own pillow. Hot tub was nice to relax in evening.
  
  The owner was very responsive when we had trash issues- thank you!!!
  
  Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this unit.

  • Manager Responded on 1/2/2023

    Thank you for the notes--we will share with the homeowner. There is a bucket of ice melt in the garage for guests to use and we try to keep up on the stairs and driveway.

  a guest from Folsom, CA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  Great yard with fun stuff outside, private yard. Nice location in a quieter part of town. Nice setup with beds for a large family. Fun Pac-Man game. For the rental price, I felt that the home should have offered a few more things- the cupboards we’re pretty bare - very few drinking glasses other than wine glasses, not a lot of silverware, basically zero cooking ingredients (I expected to see more of the basics like olive oil, salt,pepper, etc). Bath towels and toiletries could have been nicer - no conditioner, just shampoo. Hot tub had a funky smell like plastic - didn’t stay long inside. Security cameras pointed at the spa made us a little awkward too. Pros and cons to everything I guess. :)

  • Manager Responded on 12/23/2022

    Thank you for the feedback. First priority the camera has been moved, it was supposed to be aimed at the back fence to watch for bears. We have purchased glasses and more silverware. Unfortunately as part of Covid health protocols we were advised to not supply any basic cooking ingredients including oils, and spices.

  a guest from Norwood, CO recommends this vacation rental

  There is a lot to like about this house, and then a few things that can cause trouble. The house is roomy and mostly comfortable. The yard is awesome! My dog loved the wildlife. When we were there the hot tub did not work and was a major bummer - but we were refunded a portion of the fee without any hassles. The driveway is OK ish - if you have a short car... probably no problem. We have a Toyota Tacoma pickup. While it fit in the garage, getting out of the driveway was terrifying. The pictures just don't show how steep the driveway really is - or that there is no room for error. I can't imagine having to navigate in the winter. for the most part we used the staircase in the garage - it's steep too and needs a railing on both sides. The location was great - close to town and hiking, very quiet neighborhood! If everything worked that this would be a great place to stay.

  The only comments is we did not use the backyard as much, we were simply afraid of the rental restrictions about noise even during ‘normal’ noise hours.

  Eric D from Vacaville, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We were so excited when we booked this cabin just based off the pictures and when we got there it was more beautiful in person!
  
  Check-in was easy, access was easy, close proximity to the lake and restaurants and everything was clean and set up for us. The backyard was huge with plenty room for our dog and family to play, along with disc golf, zipline, bbq and much much more. There are a ton of board games inside along with fun arcades. The kitchen was organized and fully stocked and the rest of the house was nicely decorated and updated. You could easily spend all your time at this cabin with tons of activities to do. We saw a ping pong table and corn hole in the garage, along with other games, although we did not set up, as it had been snowing, but it's there for you to use. We could not be happier with our stay and will definitely book in the future. You will not be disappointed!!!
