Charming 3 Bedroom Home

Charming 3 Bedroom Home

8/10 Good
"The property was fine but nothing special. Kind of pricey for 3 couples. Spacious living areas but not particularly warm and inviting. The third bathroom is off the kitchen…not near the bedrooms. Therefore 2 of the smaller bedrooms share one small bathroom. Only one hand towel, shower towel and washcloth per/person for 3 nights. No beach towels or extra amenities. The kitchen was ok but no extra spices or cooking oils etc…The back deck/porch was big but the furniture could use sprucing up as the cushions were worn and dirty. On the plus side we were given early entrance which was nice and made our travel to the area easier. The hot tub was clean and hot!"

Light-Filled Redwood Cottage with Clawfoot Tub

10/10 Excellent
"This place was incredbile - we wanted to move in! Light filled and spacious with a HUGE tub and a super comfy bed. The hosts thought of everything. There was a towel warmer, extra blankets and they even put bottles of shampoo, conditioner, ect out and provided any kind of cutlery we could ask for. We felt like we were staying in a little peaceful oasis. The hosts were gret to communicate with and the spot was SUPER peaceful - little rabbits all over the place. HIGHLY reccommend!"
