Our stay was absolutely amazing! Katy was an incredible host—so helpful, responsive, and always quick to answer any questions. She also shared information about local events, which made our trip even more enjoyable.From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Every detail made the space feel welcoming and relaxing. It is truly the best vacation rental we have ever stayed in.We loved seeing deer every day and enjoyed the peaceful, quiet setting. Our family had so much fun with the games and movie nights complete with popcorn. As someone who enjoys cooking, I especially appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, which made preparing meals easy and enjoyable.Each morning started perfectly with a cup of coffee on the deck, listening to the birds, and it was so convenient to be able to throw in a load of laundry before bed at the end of the day. The location couldn't have been better—as short drive to Placerville, the lake, and Tahoe, while still feeling peaceful and private.Our kids (16,14 and 10) did not want to leave. The house was comfortable and serene. We came for a family reunion (we live in Florida) and everything combined to a truly wonderful experience. Thank you so much, Katy. You were truly a blessing to our family, and we can't wait to come back!

Great house, deposit policy sucks

Of all the short term home retails I done, this was the nicest house I have rented, well prepared and decorated, my parents thought it could use more light for reading though. Great location in a forested neighborhood. House was spotless and appeared to be almost new. My only issue is the if you don’t buy the damage insurance, you are required to put up a very large security deposit, 5 days after stay I contacted Vrbo and was told it will be another 2 to 3 weeks for it to be refunded. I was informed by Vrbo that it is the owner’s discretion to charge and the amount of deposit. In this era of add ons and additional fees this is leaving me with a sour taste. Great house but add in the insurance or don’t expect to see your deposit for a while.

Hi, I am glad you enjoyed your stay and were happy with the home. I understand your frustration with the damage protection, thank you for brining this to my attention, I am using VRBO's recommended option for host. I contacted customer support, they assured me you will have your refund in 14 days from departure as it was the chosen method of damage protection when booking. If there is anything else I can assist you with please let me know, I am more than happy to help.
