I’m usually not one to complain, but after paying the highest price by far for a weekend (2 nights), I couldn’t help myself.... Kitchen had dirty dishes in the cabinets for starters, especially a frying pan that looked like it was pulled out from the dirt in the back yard, which I’m sure you’ll still find there cause I left it there in hopes that the owner sees it. The beds are dented in the middle, especially the master bedroom, that i came to find out is completely broken and was “half ass fixed” by putting a brick under it to hold it up, which obviously didn’t work. There was a scorpion on the carpet that was killed by someone (it was smashed) and just left there. The heater vent in the master bedroom made noise every time it turns on which woke us up every time. Oh and I have pictures in case the owners try to clean this up.

great

I don’t think this house is well prepared to receive guests. We rent vacation homes every year, sometimes twice a year and this one was pretty mediocre, by a long shot. We had issues with this 3 bedroom 3 night vacation home rental from the start. From the beginning , the communication with the owner was really bad, he never messaged me with any type of instructions as it’s usually expected and when I messaged him I barely got his phone number, picking up the key was awkward as by the time we got there we hadn’t received any kind of information, we got to the house kind of late at night with tired kids and we had to drive back to pick up the key at a hotel. The house was in a nice neighborhood surrounded by nature, that was something we were looking for. The house was as advertised, big enough for our party. That was accurate. Master bedroom’s bed was very uncomfortable, really bumpy. Cleanliness was not the best, linens, throw pillows and couches were smelly as if they were not washed recently. There was also what looked to be bloodstains on a blanket my kids used and didn’t noticed until the second day. Floors were not as clean which was really important for us since we had a crawling baby with us. These types of places are usually stocked with at least the essentials in the kitchen and bathrooms but this one was completely out of them. Kitchen cabinets were totally empty, just a couple of pans and glasses, the only pan I got was moldy and a bowl I tried to use was dirty, so I avoid using anything in the house, luckily I brought my own kitchen stuff and disposable plates and cutlery. There was barely enough toilet paper to last us one full day and when I made the request to the owner, he brought some right away. Honestly, I would not recommend renting this house until they assure you its well prepared to receive guests.

The home is spacious, well kept, and located close to Sequoia National Park. For those reasons I would have given it 4 to 5 stars if were not for a multitude of other issues. This is roughly the 30th property my family and I have rented which provides us with a good idea of what is standard. Unfortunately this experience did not live up to those standards and this is the first time I have ever posted a negative review. The issues we ran into are the following: The owner is very slow to respond and at times never responded to questions/issues; He did not provide any type of basic house information or even information on the check out process; The address provided for the house takes you to the completely incorrect location 1/2 mile away and it's actually very hard to find the house given a very unique issue with house numbering of the street; While the kitchen had appliances the utensils consisted of 3 spoons, 5 forks and no knives (When I complained the owner dropped off several bags of plastic utensils); Multiple light bulbs either did not work or were missing; A fireplace is advertised but there is no wood for it; The master bed's mattress was horrible and worse than sleeping on a cheap pull out bed. If this had been a less expensive reservation I would have overlooked these issues but for the premium holiday rate we paid I find it an unacceptable level of service. If it were not for the owner having dropped off more utensils I would have given it a 2 out 5 stars.
