Disappointed
Property has great amenities and potential. The house was dirty, general property upkeep was lacking. We spent half a day cleaning and was disappointed in the amenities. No shampoo in bathrooms, sports equipment almost unusable. Fake eyelashes stuck to the scissors in the kitchen drawer. Hair bands in the shower drain. Concrete gas fire pits on the front porch cracked and in poor condition. Exposed wires outside at the garage and near the tennis court. Overall disapponted.

Suprise 80th birthday weekend
A total of 15 family members celebrated my Mother's 80th birthday at Thyme in the Pines. The age range was 12 to 80 and there were plenty of activities on the property to entertain the entire group. The kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of dishware and cooking utensils. The decore is festive and added to the warm ombience. The first afternoon the house was chilly but Avery responded quickly and adjusted the thermostat and we were comfortable the rest of our stay. It was a magical time!

A Happy Spot for Everyone
Opportunity rich home. It has: a game room, a tennis court, basketball hoop, ping pong, swimming pool, children's games, teenage games, adult games. It has a children's playground. It offers beautiful mountain scenery. In our group (ages 3-65), everyone found something on the property that they love -- and a "happy spot." Avery (property manager) did everything in her power to accommodate us, and make any problems right. We were very pleased with all the activities, options, and spaces available for our individual tastes. This is a place we would happily come back to. It has something for everyone.

We rented Thyme in the Pines for family and friends to gather during our son's wedding weekend. Property is large, and so much to do that we weren't able to take advantage of due to weather and time constraints. Would love to return someday.

Perfect weekend getaway - highly recommend!
I celebrated my milestone birthday at Thyme in the Pines with family and friends of all ages. The property was huge and had something fun for everyone - basketball/tennis court, game room, heated pool/jacuzzi, fire pits to roast s'mores, board games, a kid room with books and toys, a playground... and so much more! There was tons of space to accommodate everyone - lots of indoor/outdoor seating and lots of bedrooms and comfy beds to rest. Everything we needed was provided at the house, or if we needed to pick something up the store wasn't too far away. We had such a great time and hope to be back again soon. Thank you Avery for everything!

Celebrating our 50th Anniversary
Avery, We all loved the property, plenty of space for us, our children with their spouses, and the grandchildren. The kitchen was so big, we had 3 chefs cooking all the meals, including the Thanksgiving meal. We played tennis on the tennis court, table tennis, and the giant Jenga in the game room. The heated pool and the jacuzzi were an absolute hit. Avery, thank you for everything, we are happy. We wish you a happy 2023.

Relaxing get away
A family gathering of 14 stayed at this property for 5 days and loved all this house and property had to offer. We were vacationing in San Diego and spent the days out and about and headed here for the evenings to unwind and relax. We even cancelled a day of activities to stay home and enjoy the property. Everyone had a blast, from 4 years old to 65. The owner was in constant communication and all our needs were met. The house was comfortable, clean and had more activities than we had time. I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting or if you want to unwind for a weekend.

Work away with friends
The property is absolutely gorgeous and very large. The pictures don't do it justice! We stayed here with 8 friends for a 9 day trip and had an incredible time. The property manager was very responsive. Unfortunately, we weren't able to use the pool during our stay due to the cover being broken and the sauna also wasn't working either. However, the property manager sent someone to fix the pool later on. Overall, our stay was enjoyable despite a few snags.

So Relaxing!
I was the only person in the group who grew up in SD, but I had never spent too much time in Alpine before - I was clearly missing out! Such a quiet, peaceful location. The place was something else. Plenty of room for a large group, and there were so many entertainment options that our two day stay wasn't enough. We had a few questions during our visit, but the host was super responsive and got us sorted out quickly. Overall, I would love to stay here again the next time I have a large group.

The whole experience was nothing short of exceptional. The grounds are beautifully kept and we took full advantage of the amenities. The house has ample room and the kitchen has a great open concept so cooking can be done easily. Everything was very clean and it seems like the owners take great pride in curating a great experience. The communication before and during our stay was amazing. Would book this again and again.

Large Property, Quiet area
A great place to stay in Alpine. Quiet with valley views from the front of the house. A large pool with a lot of space. The property extends downhill below the house with a lawn and tennis court, which we did not use. The spa heater was broken when we arrived, which was the only negative part of the stay. We were visited by a neighbor's large black dog, super friendly, so he received treats, fresh water and lots of attention. Communication with host (Avery) was quick and efficient. Definitely would come back to visit Alpine!

Family Staycation
We really enjoyed our stay at this Alpine gem in the hills. We enjoyed the pool day and night. We played tennis on Friday morning with my son and his girlfriend, great fun. Basketball net was ripped, but minor issue. We played 2 great wiffle ball games on the large grass area. The accomodations were really nice, comfortable beds, lots of space, workout room. Separate apartment was great for our teen boys, so they could have their own space. One bummer was the jacuzzi didn't work and the lights in the pool were out. Fire pits were nice last night as the night was winding down. It was nice to have plastic cups available for the pool area. Parking in the shade, right by the house was a huge bonus. Communication with the host was absolutely the best. Overall a great stay and look forward to returning and will recommend to all. Our Family had 10 people and we were really comfortable. Super quiet area too. Neighbors dog is super cool too, he wanted to play ball with us all. Thank you Avery for everything.
