We got in a little later than expected, but the night skies were beautiful the check in process was so smooth and easy we got all the information we needed prior to our arrival, there was enough space for everyone to move about without feeling stuffed in. Everything we needed was available to us, the place was clean and cozy this was definitely a trip that I would do again next year.

The large patio was a lovely place to sit outside each morning with a cup of coffee and greet the day.

My family had a wonderful time at the property. The five of us were able to lounge around together in the living room or the the outside seating areas. The property feels remote, but is near enough to major roads to make travel fairly easy. And its fun to see the goats and horses watching us as we entered or left the property.

The house and guest house were great. Main was a 2/2, kitchen, dining, living room. The guest house was a 1/1 with a kitchen, living and dining as well. The mountainous views were great and the goats and ponies always greeted us everytime we stepped outside. Would definitely stay there again.

Nice clean space. Lots of traffic noise at night, but other than that it was nice. Well suited for a family in the main house. The bedroom with the two double beds isn't suited well for adults. Overall it was nice space though.

Amazing property that was so kid friendly! We were in town for a family wedding with a 4 year old and infant in tow. The two houses were perfect, we stayed in one house with the kids and my parents and sister stayed in the other. The outdoor area was perfect for summer night dinners and the kitchen was stocked with the necessary cookware. Would stay again if we are ever back in town!

Great spacious family stay with amazing setting!

Me and my family recently rented this property for my son’s birthday and it was absolutely wonderful. All the kids loved the animals and the open outside space to play games and we ended up having a great barbecue and made s'mores around the fire pit. Overall 5/5 stay, Mai is an amazing and understanding host and responds very quickly if needed. Thanks to her and her family I can say my family had a wonderful trip.

City life with a country feel

City life with a country feel

What a gem of a stay!! When I first arrived, I was greeted by two of the sweetest mini ponies. Then to top it off, there are also a bunch of goats there that roam the side of the property. Don’t feed the animals btw. It was a great property about 10 mins from the highway but it never felt like we were that close to the city. The property itself was absolutely gorgeous. Plenty of space in the yard to hang out, nice, quiet and secluded. The house itself was completely redone and you can tell the owner did not cut any corners. Kitchen has all the amenities you would need. Included was a laundry room just in case you need to wash any clothes. Ample parking and plenty of space for your kids to play. Everything was clean and tidy. Nice new appliances throughout. The property actually has two units in one so just in case you need a place for parents, relatives or friends. This is by far the best vacation rental I’ve booked here in the Bay Area, and that is just the property. The owner/host is absolutely wonderful and caring. Made sure my stay was one to remember. She is very responsive and made checking in and checking out a breeze. It is rare that Anyone would rate an owner better than the property especially since this is such a beautiful property her attention to detail is uncanny. She is soooo sweet. Made me and my wife feel right at home. She treated us as family and not just vacationers. Property was great but the host was even better. We are already planning on staying there again. So if you are looking for a nice getaway, this is the place. You will not be disappointed in any aspect.

Perfect spot for families

Perfect spot for families

We are a young family of four from Denver, Colorado. Mai went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. We have two young children and they absolutely loved seeing the animals next to the property. There were plenty of toys and books, and Mai even offered a crib for our youngest. We will definitely be staying here again when we’re next in town.

Wonderful stay!!!

Wonderful stay!!!

We cannot recommend Mai and this property enough. The place is so cute with beachy vibes, such gorgeous views. and there's so much space around the house to spend time outside with big groups. Mai is extremely responsive, welcoming, and so easy to work with. The house was well stocked with essentials and we really cannot recommend her place enough!!
