The place was quiet and clean. The beds and sheets were comfortable and everyone slept well. However, only 4 stars because we didn’t find it fully equipped for our stay, and lacked some basic supplies like trash bags and laundry detergent. Overall, nice stay- thank you!
The house is beautiful , nicely decorated with all amenities as described . We had an amazing time and will definetly come back when visiting Visalia .
We all fell in love with this place. Super cute and clean decor. Accommodations were perfect for our group of five including 25 year old best friends who shared a room but had their own beds. Would definitely stay here again! Plus Hal was a great host!

I enjoyed staying in this property. Lot’s of room inside for our group of ten. The area is super quite and close supermarket, gas stations and restaurants. Communication was perfect on any questions that I had.
Lots of room. Very clean. Recently renovated and looks lovely.

The house was unique and perfect for our family of 6. The location is in a charming neighborhood. It was clean and comfortable.
The front gates were a bit wonky and a little difficult to open and close.
We had a great stay. We had a late flight the night of check in, but still easily found the home and had no issues getting settled in. Communication with host was smooth and he checked in on us to make sure all was well. The home is unique and lovely. We were able to visit Sequoia National Park and enjoy the beautiful area. Would stay again.
It was nice to not be boxed in like a hotel room would’ve been. There’s room to relax,eat,sleep,wash clothing,study,watch television, 3bd. 2ba. Pet friendly though didn’t bring mine on this trip. Can use and wash the on site dishes & cookware. Cook own food. Use fridge,microwave,oven and do laundry. 1 room has two beds. Covered patio with table and chairs. All around a really nice place to stay and plan to rent again soon.
Check in was simple, the house was clean, well stocked, and equipped with everything you need, including kitchen cookware. However, the Internet went out on the first day, and when we contacted the host about it, they gave us instructions that didn't resolve the issue, and then became completely unresponsive after that. Instead, they kept sending us auto replies advertising their property. The Internet issue appears to have been an issue with AT&T, and the display said to contact them, which we told the host, but the host never did anything. We're tech savvy people, so this was not an error on our end. We stayed for 4 days, and the Internet didn't work the entire time. This host account is also handled by a team of people, so replies aren't consistent, and they send you a lot of unrelated auto replies, which is really annoying when you have a question you need an answer to. They also use this account to advertise their real estate business and will solicit you even after your stay is over. I did not consent to getting spammed like this. Also, the AC can't keep up with the heat in the living room, so the common areas of the house gets hot, but the bedrooms will be freezing cold. The AC is also really loud in one of the bedrooms. This was not quite a deal breaker, but just a heads up if you're sensitive to the heat or are a light sleeper. But given the poor communication, unresolved issues, and the solicitation, we don't recommend staying here.
This unit fit all of our needs regarding location, cleanliness, and amenities. I would 100% recommend this property to my friends and family and will revisit this if I'm in town in the future!
Stayed there a while back beautiful layout and property

Visalia Stay
Property is in a very nice neighborhood, the bedrooms are fantastic. The main living area is a bit different, we could have used more towels, paper towels, and bath tissue.I would stay here again.
This place was great. Our family of 10 had no problem all fitting in this house. Hal was very responsive to our messages. Would stay here again if in the area.
This house is in a really nice neighborhood. There was plenty of room for the five of us. The property could have been cleaned better prior to our arrival. The floors were dirty and some of the cooking utensils I had to clean before we used them because they didn’t seem like they were all very clean. The distance is not too bad to Sequoia snd Kings Canyon National Parks. It took us about 45 minutes, so it wasn’t a bad drive.
The property is beautiful and a very unique design! The inside is more spacious than it seems in the pictures. The sunken fire pit is an amazing experience and this house has a WOW factor when you check in. The owner was very communicative throughout the whole booking/stay. I would love to stay here again!
Overall this was an excellent place to stay! Well stocked (I did have trouble finding the towels but they were all freshly laundered in the dryer!) and had many seasonings and soaps Available (even though we didn’t need them, it was so nice to offer it! We had a couple little issues that were resolved promptly and communication was excellent! The only complaint is that there was only landscaping in the front and the outdoor furniture was covered in bird poop (and no bbq) so outdoors was not a good place to hang. My kids were SO dirty after playing outside and had to go straight to the shower. I think all the construction around brought out some buggies too. Overall we would DEFINITELY stay there again! Plenty of space and so comfortable for our family and local friends to have dinner and great conversations by the fireplace! Thank you Octafarm!
Everything from the pictures and the listings is spot on!! Without hesitation recommend!!
Hal has been one of the best host I've ever dealt with!!
However, looking back at the listing i noticed a coffee table as part of the patio set was missing during our stay. Luckily we had a folding table. Also, if you want to bbq there is no barbecue on site. Which was a bummer.
Again, i would not hesitate to stay here again!!
