Beautiful location with a spectacular view of the valley. House is well maintained and very clean and the furniture/beds were very comfortable. Two small suggestions would be a rag/sponge for the kitchen sink and soap/body wash for the showers. We Highly recommend this place and plan to be back for the spring bird migration.

We stayed here to host Thanksgiving for several family members that live locally. Even the locals were stunned by the beauty of the surroundings hills and the Sierra Valley. A great neighborhood for walking and seeing farm animals. The house was perfect for all our needs. It was well laid out and very well stocked. Even a much needed turkey pan! There were many appreciated small touches such as soft cozy throws on the couch. The host was very communicative. We look forward to returning in the future!
