Excellent property, host is A+++

Jim is the best host ever. Property was well stocked with everything you could ask for - I’ve stayed at well over 2 dozen VRBO’s and Jim really goes out of his way to make sure you will have everything you need. Spices, coffee, tons of towels, cleaning supplies, nice wine glasses, pamphlets about all of the local wineries and attractions, great WiFi and TV’s, great views, and just a few miles from Benton City. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Work Trip

This house was the perfect spot for a two week work trip. The owner was extremely informative and communicative throughout the entire process of booking and making sure we had everything we needed. The property is well equipped with cooking utensils and an entire cabinet has spices and other cooking basics. I highly recommend staying at this wonderful oasis!

It was an excellent location for our time in the area

Everything was great, however, the breaker tripped a couple of times in the master bedroom when there were to many items in use.
