"The space was absolutely perfect and communication with the host was excellent!! We stayed so briefly, but slept so so well. Several of the lights were very dim, one of the AC units wasn’t on before we arrived so it took quite a while for the bedroom to cool to a comfortable sleeping temperature, and some of the surfaces felt a little dirty, but it was all very minor and an overall wonderful experience for us. There were plenty of soap, towels, dishes available. Sheets were very soft. "

"The property was great, it was clean and the views were beautiful. I wish there was a stand alone fan or something to pull the cool air in the evening into the house, because being on the second floor, after a hot summer day, the house is so warm. Opening the windows helped, but the lack of adequate airflow to help push the hot air out and bring the cold air in from outside was a little frustrating. Besides that, the house was lovely! "

"The host was fantastic!! Given that it’s a basement suite there was a lot of bugs. The dog upstairs disrupted our sleep quite a bit however he was a very sweet pup. The space was large and met our needs but very outdated decor. Fun perk of the property was walking distance to the river, fresh grapes off the vine and great location between the park and airport!"

"Location was great, cabin was terrific. Amenities were awesome. I would definitely stay there again. There was a mix up in communication and the whole pet friendly situation that never was resolved. So even though you pay for a pet friendly cabin, and they tell you to call to ensure then tell you its not- it can't seem to be resolved easily- not by North Forty or Expedia. Almost a week after my stay, I have never received a call from either. I ended up not bringing my dog because of that and was told it would be refunded, but again, no resolution. So if you dont need to bring a pet 10/10."
