Nice stay
The place was just right for our needs. We traveled with my 1 yo grandson. So I would have been worried if it was over the top fancy. It was clean and had a good amount of elbow room. Everything was provided. Definitely needs a new hide a bed with linens and new pillows. Or an air mattress. Otherwise, I would like to stay there again.

Beautiful but uncomfortable
The space is historic with a wonderful great room. Small kitchen but functional. Most disappointing were the beds and sofa. Very uncomfortable. One parking space for such a large space with many rooms. Not enough towels.

We’d be happy to stay again.
We liked the property and were so relieved our family of 5 could all fit and we could bring our dogs. Our stay was a necessity because of work being done at our house and being able to bring our older dogs with some health issues with us so we could watch them closely instead of leaving them with strangers was a HUGE relief.

Not satisfied
I have a list of issues, first we tried calling for days to get in early and the only reason we got in is Mark was at the rental doing something, 2nd) air didn’t work and front room is very hot and should have a fan--Mark repaired the A/C but it took >24 hours to cool the house 3rd ) it was not clean, there was moldy food left in fridge 4th )the bunk was already broken and my twins had to sleep on the floor with a mattress, 5) you charged us for a service dog of 150.00, which is illegal in CA, 6th ) we had ants into the kitchen for no reason on Wednesday, and had to spend time cleaning that up, 6) I washed all towels and sheets and the place was cleaner then we found it. 7) we did not check out late, we left at 8:30 am. My suggestion is that you please fix this place up, blinds were awful , floors were dirty so please listen to me , don’t charge my card for something we didn’t do and everything we had to go through while at your place. Believe me, we are very neat people and my boys were scared of the bed , the top bunk the wood pieces where falling for no reason and almost hit one of my twins in the head, that’s another reason we just put the mattresses on the floor for them. We tried calling and leaving messages but no one got back to us. We will dispute the charges with our credit company because we feel it’s not our issue. Patricia pio
