The property was very conveniently located to Fairhaven, nearby parks, and the freeway. Overall quiet area. Easy parking. The main attraction for us were the amenities for kids; although I would recommend the posting have a recommended age potentially. I have a three year old and a one year old. The swings and treehouse required a lot of supervision for safety in that age group. There is also a pond in the neighbor's yard that a little one could quickly go running into from the property's yard if unsupervised for even a moment. Our main complaint was that the listing is marked as "not pet friendly." We try to find these properties due to allergies and for cleanliness for the kiddos. It was obvious that the owners, who have some closed off areas on the property and so clearly come in/out intermittently, have a dog or dogs. There was a dog pen under the patio with dog bowls, bags of dog food, and areas where the dogs likely soiled as there were a bunch of flies collected in the bottom patio. These filtered up to the top patio and into the house. The house itself, especially the basement, has an odor of dog. We did message the property manager, who responded promptly, but just said that was the time of the year and brought around some fans to place outside. This disseminated the flies temporarily for a little while, but we really didn't feel very comfortable at that point thinking about what was attracting them to the property, and they still kept coming back.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We're glad the convenient location, quiet neighborhood, easy parking, and family friendly amenities added to your stay. Thank you as well for your suggestion about including recommended ages for the outdoor play features, as we understand younger children may require extra supervision in those spaces. We also appreciate you bringing your concerns about the outdoor flies and the owner's private area to our attention. While the owners do have a separate, off limits portion of the property, it is not accessed during guest stays, and pets are not permitted in the guest accommodations. We're pleased our team was able to respond promptly, and your comments have been shared as we continue looking for ways to enhance the guest experience. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to welcome you and your family back to a Gather property in the future.
