We had excellent communication with the host and the house was exactly what we needed!

My husband and I had a wonderful getaway here for our anniversary. Home is very clean, cozy and decorated really nicely! Had everything you would need and the pool was an added bonus! Hope to come back again!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. Leslie is a great host. Great week to be there and enjoy the pool as the temperatures went up. We will come back again.

I would never imagine this kind of dispute could happen to my family (me, my husband, and two young kids). We stayed at Leslie’s house for two nights. We prepaid a huge amount cleaning fee for this 3000 sqft house, a refundable damage deposit, and property damage protection insurance on request from Leslie! Also vrbo service fee and tax... On our arrival, We did notice there was a paper lying on the table. But we did not pay attention to read the whole page: there were about a dozen very specific densely written requirements. We turned directly our eyes to the bottom line and saw the wifi password which we were looking for, then put the paper aside. During the stay, I and my husband didn't rest well due to the soft mattress and the noisy ventilation downstairs. Before we checked out, we did clean up the pool toys as we used to, but we ignore the big ones. I never know we should strip the bed so we did not do that. Half an hour after the check-out, we received the message from the host saying that she was very unhappy with us and asked us to pay an extra cleaning fee. She said with a commanding tone that, we disobeyed her rules in leaving beds unstriped, toys uncleaned up, used towels failed to be put downstairs. She said she could claim this either from my returnable damage deposit or gave me an additional payment link (outside of Vrbo) to pay for it. (It makes me feel she is a professional in stealing money from her guests.) We refused her request. First, we did not leave her extra cleaning job. An unstriped bed, unpicked-up toys, un cleaned-up towels would not result in tremendous cleaning fees. Her house had been booked on the same day of our check-out. That's to say, she cleaned up the house in using four hours for most. (The check out time is 12 pm, the check-in time is 4 pm. ) Four hours cleaning would not cost the amount she asked. I asked the host before the reservation why she asks for this much cleaning fee? She answered as she was asked by the housekeeper that amount of money. (But I thought she cleaned her house by herself.) We did zero damage to her house. I could not tolerate her to deduct the extra cleaning fee from the deposit money. If there is damage, why she did not use the prepurchased property damage insurance? Vrbo asked the owner to provide the proof for extra cleaning fee，but she was unable to make it. Please be very careful with this picky and greedy owner！

My husband and I chose this location due to the private pool and it is close to his sisters. We were celebrating our anniversary early but needed to be near his sisters home because his mother was terminally ill. While here she passed away and the owner was so gracious allowed us to extend our stay. We were able to have our kids come and stay with us to see family as they come and go. The home is lovely, cozy, and we felt at home. The kids played games downstairs, but the patio and pool were the highlight for everyone. There were fresh flowers, the towels, linens, kitchenware, everything is really nice and you can tell the owner really wants your stay to be special. We loved it here and it made a difficult week a happy week since we were so close and family could see each other. It was our private oasis and we highly recommend staying here.

Had a wonderful time. The property exceeded our expectations. Beautifully furnished. Can’t wait to go back. The home owner was a pleasure to deal with.

We had a wonderful time here. This was our second visit. The house is well equipped and has plenty of space for the 7 of us.

We had a wonderful time staying at this house and we really enjoyed the pool. Communication with the owner was easy and prompt and we had everything we needed at the house. It was a great stay and I would highly recommend this rental property.

Excellent pool/patio. Very relaxing

Had an amazing time staying in this wonderful home!! Highly recommended!

Had a wonderful time in yakima! The house was relaxing and beautiful. The beds are very comfortable. Love the backyard!

Wonderful home with a great pool, perfect home base for exploring the wineries in Yakima. Plenty of space for everyone and having 4 separate bedrooms was a plus!

Oh gosh Leslie...your house was amazing and we had a great time celebrating my daughter and her upcoming wedding ❤️ The pool was just what we needed after a day of wine tasting 👍🏼

We really enjoyed our stay at this house, the pool was really wonderful.

Great place to stay!!

The house is very updated and beautiful. There is a ton of space and the outdoor area with pool and fire pit just can't be beat.

It is a beautiful home. The pool was great! The only thing I would say is that there needs to be a hand rail going downstairs. Other than that, we had a great time!

The house including the kitchen were super tidy and the beds comfortable. The downstairs rooms were cool and quiet. A joy for those who chose those rooms. One of the unused rooms downstairs was a little echoey but I'm sure that will be taken care of as soon as it gets filled with the owners excellent taste of furniture. The closets contained a few clothing items from the owner but that didn't bother me as we were only there for the weekend. My husband just slid some items over to hang his shirts so they wouldn't wrinkle. We enjoyed the outdoor gas fireplace pit/table both nights. It kept us plenty warm and we talked and laughed most of the evening. Overall we had a great weekend with great friends! and we wouldn't have had the camaraderie if we had chose a hotel. Very pleased with our choice of homes. We'd like to come back to take advantage of the pool. it had a leak and could not be used. The owner did notify us ahead of time to give us the option of selecting another home. The firepit sealed the deal for us. All ends well.
