Exactly what I expected in a rental home in the Sierra Nevadas
The house was wonderful. Beautiful woodwork and view. Would def stay here again.
The location just can’t be beat. This is our second time staying here and loved it. Only thing I could say was the cleaning could have been better with some spider webs and a few dead flies around but otherwise great. I let management know this and they were going to follow up with the cleaning crew as well. I appreciated their follow up there too!
