Gorgeous view! Very clean house with mostly updated bathrooms -- except mother in law suite. Nice linens. Personal, interesting decor. Only one toilet on the main floor, but otherwise good. Parking was good, access was easy. A very nice place at a good price.

The house had ample space for all adults and kids, and the views were wonderful. There were a number of dead lady bugs in 2-3 of the bedrooms which made us question how recently the house had been cleaned. The ice cubes in the freezer also had a yellow tint to them. We had a few folks that had intestinal issues after the first day so we bought bottled water and that seemed to help. If the water is not great for consumption, I would recommend putting that in the check in details.

Beautiful home with a beautiful view! The kitchen is extremely well stocked and we were easily able to host our friends that joined us. The home is decorated with beautiful art and unique pieces in every room. This home was perfect for several couples getting away together. We hope to book this home again!

There was a double booking issue that was not our mistake but the rental companies..... I think they finally realized it was their mistake but we were a little put out by initial communications.

The view was fabulous and the house was comfortable. We had a wonderful time. What would be helpful to have in the house upon arrival was information on the tv provider/tv operating instructions and information on local restaurants/stores/groceries and nearby hiking trails etc. The oven and toaster oven did not seem to work properly-both very slow to cook. The house was not particularly clean-disappointing considering the hefty cleaning fee. Bathroom floors were dirty- had dust/hair on them that we wiped up. Rugs/floors did not seem to have been vacuumed as there was a good bit of dirt/grit. Some bowls in the kitchen cabinet had food on them. Someone's bathroom items were in master bathroom cabinet, and needles and medicine were in the refrigerator. I would expect this to be removed before guests arrived.

The house was nice and even had a quiet place for my daughter in law to study. Spacious and clean. It would have been nice to have a few more large frying pans (12 inch). There were also lights with light bulbs out (6 of the 8 over the dining table). Replaced them from local store so all was well. It would also have been nice to have some instructions on electronic (TV, cable, etc). Also not clear when trash would be picked up and if there was recycling. Saying all that, we would definitely stay there again. For 6 adults,1 baby and a 4 year old It was great.
