This place is amazing - the attention to detail by the owners is incredible. The place is spotless and super comfortable. They left snacks, cereal, rice, lentils, coffee, tea, etc. Their beds are super comfortable and even have bidets on their toilets!
We will definitely be back - highly recommend
This is truly a home away from home..
We visit my wife’s family yearly in Groveland and this house is our go to. It’s beautiful, clean, comfortable and cozy. Our family enjoyed our stay here. We make new memories every time we visit. The lake is a 10 minute walk away which we did. The house having a EV charger is a plus! They have made some upgrades since our last visit which is a plus.
House is in a great location.. close to marina and close to center of town. Our family had a great stay. Beds are very comfortable. Bathrooms are very clean and remodeled. Back yard beck is awesome.. we spent nights star gazing enjoying a quiet night on the hammock. We enjoyed our day at the lake with our family. Having a EV charger in the garage was a plus. Highly recommend!! Very cozy!
What can I say. An amazing home which enhanced our road trip holiday no end. Not just your usual holiday rental. Everything seemed to be present and thought of. From all the cooking condiment's and welcome pack to amazing bedrooms and public spaces. If we are ever back in the area then we will definitely book again. 10/10
This property is GREAT in so many ways! The house itself is updated, nicely appointed, and very spacious, and it is located in a peaceful, private community. The surrounding area is gorgeous, and the house served as our base for 3 days at Yosemite National Park After long days of hiking and sightseeing, we very much enjoyed relaxing in the house and on the huge deck, and the comfortable bed was much appreciated. The house is incredibly well-stocked with everything you might need and it is well-organized too. The owners and caretakers were prompt and polite in all of their communications with me. Indeed, we had one minor issue with a malfunctioning appliance that was very quickly resolved to our complete satisfaction. I highly recommend this property. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer but we hope to visit again in the future.
This was a great place to stay! We loved the layout of the house, the deck was awesome, spacious kitchen, comfy beds with extra blankets available. Cold A/C which felt nice. Lots of coffee kcups, ziplocks in many sizes, and if you like lentils; this house has got you covered.
I only have a few suggestions-and these are all small. I’d totally stay there again in a heartbeat.
the house needs more trash bags available
The ice tray is busted but ice maker works
The knives need sharpening, couldn’t cut butter.
We hate the smell of incense and we got a huge wiff when we walked in, we put that right out.
The house offered lotion in each bathroom but I’d prefer a pump and not a tub of lotion. All the finger marks deterred me.
And the last thing, in the master I swear the bathroom smelled like cat pee. There must be a leak, mildew or some hidden issue because it was very clean, but something didn’t smell right. My husband disagrees with my nose but it’s the closest I can get to describing it.
We had a great time overall!
The home was clean and welcoming. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped. The beds are comfortable. One bathroom is very nice, and the other is fine.
It was a great stay with small issues with power outage but Shekhar was very helpful in terms of handling our requirements. Loved the decorations in the house and all the products are of top notch quality.
