This house was a great fit for our annual scout ski trip. It was comfortable, clean, well stocked with amenities, and fun items like a ping pong table, pool table, retro arcade game console, and a really nice hot tub. The host is very kind and responsive.

Great property! It was clean and spacious and very accommodating!!
Had an amazing time with friends and family at this property. Beautiful balcony among the tall pine trees. Lots of games for kids and adults to enjoy. Hot tub was amazing. All in all, a great countryside place to spend some quiet family time. Host was very informative and quick to respond.
We booked this property on VRBO for Labor Day weekend and encountered numerous issues. Despite requesting an early check-in, the host demanded additional fees and failed to ensure the property was clean upon arrival. Both BBQ and Oven were so filthy they almost caught fire.
This was booked specifically for the hot tub & of course it was broken. The host did not send assistance and only offered a partial refund. The property had excessive rules, not listed on the actual listing, but in a binder in the home. We were unjustly charged for damages, to which after me arguing with the host and her calling me name after name and threatening me, did she remove those fees. Overall, this experience was by far the worst in our six plus years of vacation rentals.
The home was not clean, & extremely cluttered. There is no room at all & especially not very “kid friendly” with all the rules they have. God forbid you bring it to their attention, they will attack you & anyone who leaves any negative review. Check out ALL their reviews, not just on this platform! Same experience with others.
Beware of these scammers.

This is a revenge review. Almost all sentences in the review are lies, see below. If you are a host, do not host this guest and save yourself trouble. If you are a guest, I invite you to look at our other reviews and decide for yourself what to take away from this.
(1) Half truth. Yes, the guest stayed with us. Yes there were minor issues. The biggest issue was the hot tub not working. The hot tub seems to have broken during the guest's stay.
(2) We charge for early check in. The guest tried to bully us into letting them early for free. We explained that we charge for that service, and guest didn't like this. This set the tone for their attitude towards us.
(3) Half-truth. There were minor issues, but the guest only let us know at the point where they thought it would give them an upper hand in what is now obviously a dispute.
(4) True, but the conclusion the guest draws is malicious and not realistic. The hot tub did break. We are in the mountains and it is impossible to get things repaired on short notice.
(5) Lie. I spent hours on the phone trying to find someone to repair and communicated with the guest. It was a labor day weekend, people were out. The guest was compensated fairly for that issue. That was the only thing we could do at the time.
(6) Lie. All our rules are listed, and the property manual is also linked from the listing.
(7) Lie. We have photo proof of all the damages. Happy to provide a link to the photos if you are looking to rent and this is something that gives you pause, and you can decide for yourself. I waived the smaller fees to make the reconciliation simpler. The guest also broke the lease by bringing two dogs without paying the pet fee. Another lie: there was no name calling, and especially no threats. I have been assertive in dealing with the guest once they decided to drop the pretense of civility and go for the jugular. But I remained respectful throughout.
(8) Giving the benefit of the doubt here as I have no way to know.
(9) Lie.
(10) Lie. We never raised any issues around anything that was part of the cleanup. We didn't ask for a cent extra.
(11) Lie. The clutter was taken from another guest's review, it's a long resolved issue.
(12) Do check out our reviews. We have been positively reviewed by dozens of guests.
(13) Unfortunately we can't be everything for everyone.
(14) Lie. We are not scammers, we provide a home away from home experience. We do not, however, roll over to bullies.
About the host
Hosted by Marija Filmar
My family and I are travellers, explorers and adventurers. We love travelling and while travelling we like to feel at home. We like to experience every place form the eyes of the locals and the best way to do this for us is staying in people's houses where we can feel the warmth and enjoy everything the location and surroundings have to offer. We love connecting with communities and learning from them. Being frequent users of this platforms as guests we felt that we can offer the same enjoyable experience to the guest that come to visit our beautiful Sierra Mountains, nearby ski resort and Yosemite National Park and all the hiking and other fun destinations around. Looking forward to hosting you and making you feel at home with unforgettable memories of your own!
