Bugs
We arrived at the rental between 8pm-8:30pm and after unloading & showering, we went to bed around 9pm. Within minutes of being in bed I was bitten at least 3x by something. I got up, checked the bed, and took 13 different pictures of the bugs in the bed. Being late, I was grossed out but went to the couch where I found MORE bugs and food in the cushions. My grandson said he was being bitten also. It was late and we eventually just slept until 3:30am when we couldn’t take it anymore. We packed up and left.

Mountain cozy nook
Very lovely. I was initially concerned about access to the home due to prior reviews, but the owner provided instructions in the email and the front drive ((which is very steep)) was roped off to assist with driver confusion. Just make sure to read your email in full, pass by the front of the home, follow the winding road down the mountain, and turn left at the stop sign (I believe 38th?). To be clear, this place is not handicap accessible & anyone who has a hard time with steep flights of stairs should avoid. The black steep staircase at the rear of the home leds to the guest area. Owner, Dennis, lives below. The driveway is a tad tricky but not impossible and Dennis was onsight ready to assist with any questions we had. The rental itself is lovely and as described. I saw other reviews discussing ants but my husband and I did not see any insect issue inside of the home. It was clean and cozy. It was also located just around the corner from a fabulous little Italian restaurant called, Giardino's. The only reason I gave a 4/5 stars for the neighborhood would be the concern I had regarding some of the surrounding homes. Some are large mansions at the top of the hill but others aren't as maintained. A few had bars on doors and windows, and we noted 24 hour surveillance signs posted at residences (including this vrbo) too, which made us wonder about crime in the area. However, while we were there we had zero incidents & a wonderul stay! We would absolutely recommend to others.

Girls trip
This was a family girls trip for the weekend and the property looked great from the listing. There were a few things that bothered us. First, there was no mention on the listing about not using the driveway. Apparently there was supposed to be a rope that kept us from using it, but we didn’t see that because it was laying on the ground. That was a crazy ordeal, but luckily the owner helped us get our truck back up the driveway. The steps going up to the house are very steep and didn’t feel safe. Inside the house, was nice until we noticed all the bugs and ants everywhere. It was raining when we got there and noticed the window by the front door was leaking water. Also, the vent in the kitchen looked like it had insulation coming out of it. Fixing those issues would make this house a good place to stay.

Ok stay
We rented this place for my family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) and my parents. It was advertised as 2 queen beds and a double futon. There was no futon in the house. My kids had to sleep on a sectional with no extra bedding to be found in the house. I reached out to the owner, who stays in the basement, the next morning, but never got a response. It is a 1.5 bath, not 2, as there is only a shower/tub combo. The mattresses are very hard, which we did not love, but know some people could. We killed several big black ants during our stay as well.

Our experience.
We chose this property for the views and outdoor space. Sunsets were so beautiful over the mountains. Over all would recommend this property. Things we noticed during our stay that we recommend host adds. All 3 smoke detectors and fire extinguisher were missing from the property. We recommend laundry detergent so we could wash the towels as we stayed 3 nights. We found white dog hair on the couch. The dishes were not the most clean. But for the price we were satisfied.

Fabulous Mountain View
We loved the mountain location and the gorgeous view. We didn’t see the specific driving directions provided by the host before we headed up…and definitely suggest you access your booking confirmation before arrival. A little turning around and we arrived. The deck with the firepit and seating is so welcoming. We saw the other review about steps leading up and it is no joke. They are steep and shallow. Our mom almost joined the trip last minute and it’s good she didn’t; with her mobility issues the stairs would be a no go and we would have been faced with a dilemma of finding a new place to stay. Denny was very welcoming and responded to all our questions timely. We happened to see him on arrival and he was very friendly and accommodating. The listing shows 2 queen beds and a double futon; but there are 2 bedrooms with queen beds and an “L” shaped couch in the main family room and a small couch in the sunroom (3 walls of windows-no shades) So fortunately we weren’t trying to sleep 6 adults…just 2 adults (sisters) and two kids who could share the couch or sleep with mom/auntie. We did notice a smell that a couple past guests noted in their reviews (May and Nov). It’s a little musty/mildew smell but improved with the doors and windows open for a bit. We also noticed a smoke/cigarette smell and couldn’t tell if maybe someone in the lower apartment smokes and the smell has wafted up. It was worse in closets and bathrooms. Well decorated and spacious. Cute place!

Cute if you have low expectations
Let me start by saying the location is perfect! Everything was within a 10-15 minute drive which was very convenient. But, the directions weren’t clear and we arrived at night so locating the entrance was challenging. Several bugs, dead and alive, and the listing is deceiving because it says 2 bathrooms but it’s really 1 1/2 because the one bathroom in the bedroom didn’t have a tub or shower. Also, lots or dirty dishes were in the cupboard. Looks like they may have been run through the dishwater but no one looked at them. I re-washed EVERYTHING we used. Plenty towels, tissue, and paper towels. Overall, it worked but based on the price I was expecting more, and the stairs were a beast.
