Dolores was a marvelous host. She was very responsive, and gave supportive thoughtful responses. She went well above and beyond expectations with helping us get settled, providing appetizers and cider for when we arrived for check in, and clearly takes excellent care of the property and grounds. It’s a perfect place for a large group to be in one place, and the house is set up so there are separated clusters of rooms and bathrooms so it also felt like we could all have our own private spaces as well as spacious common areas. We would definitely stay again!

Our family of 18 spent four wonderful days at this spacious home. The house looks exactly as listed, quietly nestled among the beautiful redwoods. There was ample parking space on site. Everything was spotless inside when we arrived. Each room of the house was thoughtfully and uniquely decorated with themed works of art from around the world. Bedrooms varied in size, but were great for our family.The kitchen had an abundant supply of tableware and cookware. Appliances were top notch; we really appreciated having two refrigerators. There was enough seating in the dining room for our entire family to dine together. There were also several tables and chairs out on the beautiful and spacious wood patio.The teenagers in our group really enjoyed playing ping pong and the chess board saw a lot of action. The Wi-Fi worked well and we loved outdoor firepit and spa.Just a word of caution, there are steps throughout the house, not just the stairways going up to the second level. They are well lit. But if you have mobility issues, this could be a concern.Overall, we had a wonderful stay at this home and would highly recommend it. Great home, host, and location.Rob & DorisJune 2026

The house is great overall – kitchen is well-equipped, property has lovely trails through the forest, bedrooms are nice, and StarLink internet connection works decently well. The host is very sweet and helpful, but our one complaint was that after driving 4 hours to get there, we would have been much happier if their tour of the house had been, say, 5-10 minutes long, rather than an hour and 45 minutes.

Pros: The home is very large, clean and comfortable. The rooms were very unique and interesting and our kids had a great time exploring them. The outside garden was beautiful and the host is very nice.Cons: Given the high price of the rental we were disappointed that many of the features listed were not available and we felt misled by the listing. For example the listing states there is a lake view, but there is no lake anywhere on the property. When we got there we were informed that the propane grill was unusable due to an incident with a bear but that the smoker was working. But we needed an extension cord that we didn't receive until after we needed it. It might have just been bad luck, but the hot tub that our kids were looking forward to was not working. Also it is not mentioned in the listing, but once we had booked and payed to stay there, we were informed that the house had electrical issues and the electricity might go out. Our electricity did go out in the middle of the night causing one of the guests CPAP machines to stop functioning and shut of hot water for awhile. Troubleshooting electrical problems was not what we were thinking we would have to do on our vacation. There are three electric panels and GFI plugs to test. Also elderly visitors should be aware that there are a number of awkward steps going in and out of each room that are potential trip hazards.Overall we felt that the number of issues was just too much to justify the high cost of the rental.
