The game room was lots of fun. The house overall is a bit run down, the deck is older and some failing boards here and there. Some of the rules regarding trash/recycling were less than clear and communication with the host was definitely lacking in that regard. But overall a nice place to stay.

Host interaction/ messages day of check in could have been much better. We weren't given access codes in a timely manner. Host admitted he operates many VRBO style homes and for some reason our "email" didn't get sent. I wish all communication was through VRBO rather than personal e-mail.

It is my second time renting this place. My family had a lot of fun especially at the game room. All the rooms look clean. I also like the newly renovated bathroom. Kitchen is fully uquipped with the essentials. The only complain I have is that the bathroom next to the kitchen has no lock.

Fantastic family getaway

Our extended family enjoyed a lovely week at the cabin. It was spacious and ideally located for us, with different groups coming from across the North, South, and East Bay Area. We especially enjoyed the separate game room and large deck areas. Communication with Thomas was prompt and thorough - no problems at all during our stay. Would definitely return for our annual family summer trip and recommend to others.

Charmingly Beautiful

Our family celebrated my mom’s 90th birthday, requiring 2 VRBOs. This cabin was our favorite. The baths have been beautifully remodeled, as well as the well equipped kitchen. We loved the sturdy rustic dining table and the game room. Checkout requirements are lengthier than most but understandable.

Beautiful spot

The house is beautiful and well laid out for a 3 story. The kitchen, dining, and family room area were great for our group with a wrap around port in beautiful scenery. The game room was great in the cool mornings. There is no ac, but open the windows and use the whole houae fan at night for the cool to last through the day if you close the windows early enough, especially the lowest story, which was cool all day. They had less streaming services than listed, but we figured it out. The host responded about 1x a day by email, but we had no emergencies.

There a very small amount of discoloration in the middle bathroom on some areas of the grout. I am a General Contractor and people need to be carefuly when they talk about mold!! It can't be cleaned !! It is a stain!! Nevertheless, We have been planning for years to remodel the kitchen, the last bathroom and replace the deck. This is being done in April and May which is currently blocked out on our calender. In addition, we will be making many upgrades to the cabin and game room. Thomas and Cindy The Owners

the home was great but we had no contact with our host. when we turned on the oven it smelled like gas. The patio furniture should have been set up for us instead of having to dig around looking for the cushions. there was no instructions on the game room and we could not gain access to it until day 2. We did make the best of it but i don't think we will stay there again.

Cozy, Nature Lover’s Retreat

If you're looking for a cozy and peaceful escape, this vacation rental is the place. We had the pleasure of staying at this charming vacation rental, and it was the perfect blend of coziness and calm. Nestled on 6 acres of peaceful, private land, it felt like a true escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Our favorite spot was the beautiful deck, where we all enjoyed our morning coffee and relaxed in the evenings, surrounded by the calming beauty of nature. Inside the house space was warm and adequate. Kitchen fulfilled all our cooking needs. The best part was how affordable the stay was, considering everything the home offered. It was a fantastic getaway and absolutely recommended!

Hidden gem in Sierra foothills

Cozy, large home located in the midst of beautiful pine trees. Although we unfortunately did not get snow for skiing, the home provided a fun game room and spacious kitchen to keep us occupied. We found a local Christmas tree farm and the owner of the rental allowed us to bring a fresh cut tree into the home to celebrate an early Christmas. The owner graciously offered to dispose of it after we left. Overall it was the perfect spot for a family reunion and we would definitely rent again if we were in the area.

Beautiful property!

We had a very nice family vacation! Overall the house is well stocked and comfortable. The dogwoods blooming were beautiful! We did find some of the sheets in the laundry room and needed to wash them to have all the sheets we needed. (My email to the owner never received a response.) There are also several discrepancies between instructions posted at the house and what we were sent by email. The biggest surprise was the cleaners showing up at 10am when we were told 11am for checkout. Also, pictures should be updated...mainly that the deck is no longer covered.

4/10 Poor

Almost WAS but did'nt quite make it

We arrived at this location around 4:30 in the afternoon..It was very warm..The directions were accurate from Thomas..What was not accurate was the musty mildew smell upon opening the front door. No air conditioning, but fans in various closets. We were with our 95 year old father and did not expect the narrow stairways . This made it necessary to go outside to bring him upstairs. We stayed downstairs with him as my sister and her husband were on the main floor as she could not negotiate the stairs. The downstairs bathroom smelled of mold and there was mildew on the floor. Also a resident lizard in my Dads closet.. The main porch did not have the outdoor furniture shown in the photos and also no umbrella for the table. As far as a pond it had about a foot and a half of brown liquid in it, nothing you would want to get wet in. The grounds were in need of watering and we saw no fruit trees just mildewed sweetpeas. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had what we needed for our needs.It was a very quiet location and the trees were wonderful I would not recomend this house to 55+ people at all.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Apr 2020
Immediately after reading this review I had my cleaning person go into action, along with my Pest control company. We found that the mildew smell is not from mold or mildew at all, but coming from the basement wall which apparently has a musty smell; nevertheless it has been scheduled to be sealed the week of 8/25/2013. Along with the repair of the pond in the same week. However, the staircase is up to code and does have adequate space and railings. In addition, I am looking into installing elevators and ramps outside for more accessibility for handicap and the elderly. As always I advised my guests to have anyone with disabilities to stay on the middle floor which provides better access to kitchen and bathroom. The umbrella has been replaced and the furniture is located in the upstairs bedroom.
