Great little house. Plenty of room for a family or 4 couples on vacation. Beautiful kitchen with everything we needed to make breakfast before we ventured out and meals when we returned. The peacocks were a pleasant addition, greeting us every morning and afternoon.Close to the railroad line which was concerning at first. However, we only saw 3 trains during the 5 days we were at the house and they drove by slowly making it more of a quaint experience.We appreciated the host agent reaching out the morning before check-in to make sure we were all set for our stay. I would recommend visiting the Ancient Peaks Winery in Santa Margarita (house owners) for lunch and a tasting. The wines are great.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The 8 Mile House was a wonderful respite from the heat and hustle and bustle for our family. While the pictures are beautiful, they don't do the property justice. We especially enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen which gave us plenty of room to spread out and converse while enjoying food and drink. The property owner had thought of many extras, including paper towel, dish soap, tin-foil, and even a generous amount of coffee. There were many dishes, plenty of wine glasses, and the knives were even sharp (we had brought our own just in case)! Other amenities were better than described (not pictured in the Airbnb photos is that there is now a gas BBQ as well as charcoal grill and fire pit). We also appreciated the very well laid out instructions on the wall (there is a digital plaque), which included ideas for attractions/restaurants in the area. Waking up to the peacocks in the morning was something my son especially enjoyed. The porch was a favorite for our family to sit outside and enjoy the breeze. The barn/wine bar was a hit with the adults, as some of us enjoyed going to bed early and others could enjoy themselves with a beverage and conversation, without the risk of disturbing anyone. Overall, we were extremely impressed and hopefully we’ll return soon.

Enjoyed wine tasting in the area as well as a great escape room in Santa Margarita. Wonderful accommodations. Clean, well maintained, and comfortable. Nice patio area for grilling and back porch for gathering.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was the perfect place to spend the weekend with old friends. Everything from checking in, cleanliness, charm, and amenities were excellent. We also all agreed that the beds and sheets were really comfortable. This place was more than enough to accommodate all 3 couples and 2 kids. The only negative is that we had some trouble finding the place off the grade, especially in the dark. Be sure to use Google maps.
