When we were first walking up to the house, we noticed right away that the windows were dirty. It didn’t get better once we went inside. The house was filthy throughout. Dark ring in the toilet, water spots on all the shower glass. The hood above the stove was very dirty. The washing machine was so filthy that no one would ever want to use it. The dresser drawers in the bedrooms were so dirty inside that you would never want to put your clothes in there. I actually could go on, but I think this paints a good enough picture of what we found on arrival. We wanted to immediately leave, but it was late and we had traveled many hours and were exhausted, plus we had no where else to go, so we did stay the first night and left early the next day. I have no idea why the house was in this condition. The host had contacted me to give me the entrance code, so it’s not as if she didn’t know someone was coming. We’ve used VRBO‘s in the past and never ran into something like this. Very disappointing and created much inconvenience for us. We spent most of the second day searching for alternate lodging. 😏

Our family had a wonderful and restful stay in this adorable cottage. We had a jewelry booth at the California Midstate Fair and stayed in Lori's home for two weeks, and it provided a comfortable and safe homebase. The place is immaculately clean, well stocked with all the basic amenities (and more!) you would need in a vacation home, and the furnishings were good quality. It's newly renovated and located in a safe and quiet neighborhood. We cannot recommend this home enough, and the next time we are in town, we would love to stay here again.

Short walk to downtown templeton. Easy access to the freeway. Super cute house

The house was beautiful. Great sized kitchen with everything we needed. Nicely redone bathroom and a back porch with a pretty view. Walking distance to everything downtown. Check in and check out were super easy. We’d definitely stay again.

We had a great time staying at Lori’s property, conveniently located near DT Templeton. We were able to have our cake and eat it to for Christmas, staying in this beautifully updated home just down the street from our greater family. Recommend! Thanks for the lovely stay.

We enjoyed a relaxing weekend in this beautiful home, walking distance to Templeton downtown shops and restaurants. We missed the farmers’ market in the park on Saturday because we headed to the beach, but returned in time for a relaxing dinner with friends outside on a warm October night. The house itself is comfortable and welcoming with a terrific kitchen, large bathroom and 2 light-filled bedrooms. We loved spending time there and look forward to returning soon!

A group of five adults visited the area and this place was the perfect size. Fully loaded kitchen (even the knives were sharp!). Thanks Lori for being a great host.

What a great place to stay! The owners have thought of everything! We cooked while we here in the very equipped kitchen! The home is updated nicely:) neighborhood is good! I would highly recommend this place for your stay:)
