Nice stay

The cottage was clean and cozy. The bedrooms were nice sized and the bunk bed has a double for the bottom which worked well for my 6 foot teenager. Large bathroom with a nice shower. The front room is small but the patio is spacious, unfortunately we didn't get a chance to use it due to our timeline. Would definitely come back to utilize the patio. All in all a good spot.

Awful

Rats in the walls, scalding hot water only or cold. Gathering space in a wide chair only in the entry hall. No windows in the two tiny bedrooms. Glass doors between the bedrooms. Heater comes on with a loud clap! Very poor communication with the owner who never returned calls. Stayed one miserable night of the two nights only.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly regret that your stay did not meet expectations, and we apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. I want to acknowledge that I personally spoke with your partner during your stay, offering to assist with any concerns about the common areas. I walked him through the large living room and the wine cellar, and we expressed that if anything else was needed, we were more than happy to help. He kindly accepted our offer at the time. Regarding your request to cancel the second night, it was made on the same day, and as outlined in our cancellation policy, we require a 48-hour notice. Unfortunately, this is why we were unable to grant a refund for that last-minute cancellation. We understand that this may have been frustrating, but please know that our policies are in place to ensure fairness for all guests. We feel that this review reflects a larger concern with the cancellation rather than your actual stay, and we would have hoped you would have addressed these issues with us during your stay. If the stay had been truly unsatisfactory, we are curious why the feedback was shared only upon check-out. We truly value our guests and always strive to improve, and we appreciate your understanding on this matter. Best regards, Sweety Mistry

Nicely equipped for a short stay

The kitchen is well stocked with all the basics, including things like cooking oil and spices. The bathroom included shampoo, conditioner, and body wash (the listing doesn’t specify this). The layout is odd—the bedrooms are tiny and the beds are really crammed in there. The bathroom is huge, probably larger than the bedrooms. The "living room" is more of a foyer and definitely not set up for any more than 2 people. The furniture and decor is kind of random, like they raided someone's grandma's attic, but it's all totally functional. The location is convenient - easy access to highways to get to Pinnacles NP or Monterey etc. It is not walkable to any stores or restaurants - about a 5 minute drive to any stores.

It’s okay

The space reminds me a starter Sims house. Everything is just a little off and pretty janky. The bed was super uncomfortable. The internet was spotty at best and there was a strange noise in the wall all night, not a critter or anything, but some kind of electronic beeping/pulsing. The buildings and grounds are very beautiful but they just need updating.

Very nice

This cottage was the perfect place to stay while visiting our daughters and their families who live up the street. It had what we needed to have a comfortable stay. The onlydownside was the placement of the outlets in the bedrooms to charge our devices. It was extremely awkward and make it difficult. Unless they replace lamps in each bedroom with lamps that have a plug plus usb charging stations I’d bring a couple extension cords with you. One of the outlets was also dead. Other than that hiccup it was fine and we will return. It was nice to have a private front and back decks too.

Quaint

Quiet and beautiful area. The property needs a deep cleaning and updates. The furniture needs to be deep cleaned in what is called the living room. The walls in the space need to washed and/or painted. The shower drainage is slow causing the water to rise when showering, which is gross. The shower door needs to be scrubbed as well. Left over soap scum at the bottom of the door was gross. I wore shower shoes the entire time. The floors of the property were not clean either. So walking barefoot was not an option. Looking at the cleanliness of the overall space just need a thorough deep cleaning and wiping down. I would suggest checking any dates on the perishables as well. I made a cup of coffee and could not drink it as the creamer smelled spoiled and curdled in the coffee. Honestly I expected more for the cost. Cleanliness is so important. So much potential but could be more presentable to guests.
