  Had a great time. House was very comfortable and user friendly. All the amenities one would need. Evenings on the deck for relaxation and dinner, were peaceful, quiet, and visually spectacular. The afternoon breezes were a welcome relief, when the daytime temps climbed. The house stayed very cool and comfortable, without the need to use the air conditioning, even on the hottest days. Temperatures, during our five day stay, ranged from 92 to 98 degrees.Evenings cooled off nicely. The kitchen was well appointed and modern, with all the necessary tools and utensils to make any meal a breeze. Granite and stainless counter tops were a nice appointment. The center island allowed you and friends to contribute to the cooking chores, without the feeling of crowding. The Weber BBQ on the deck, made cooking your favorite charbroiled meals, simple and easy. Comfortable beds and living room furniture, along with premium video and sound, made the end of the day very relaxing. Hiking, biking, and boating, are only a few of your options, at this ridge top home with a "million dollar view". Would recommend this rental property to any and all.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

  Owner response: Thank you for choosing our home for your 4th of July holiday and sharing it with another couple. I heard that having the two bedrooms each on their own level with full baths was great and the ladies really loved it. Maybe I will have a special for a two couples getaway!!!

  After such an enjoyable holiday last year at this hidden gem, we returned for another week this year. Again, we were not disappointed! It's home away from home from the minute you walk in the door. It's comfortable and relaxing. The view is spectacular no matter what the weather is like and no matter what the time of day. Last year, the moon was full and lit up the lake. This year, the moon was crescent and you could see millions of stars -- the constellations. Gorgeous! The view can be enjoyed from any room (even from your bed) in the house or the deck. Like last year, we hated to leave. This has become our new way of "camping" at Lake Pillsbury! We had some truck trouble on our way up and were delayed arriving. The owners were very accommodating and understanding of our situation. Maryann and Mike, again, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We look forward to returning in the future!

  Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

  Owner response: Glad you were able to make your vacation even with a bit of a delay, and glad we had a little buffer with guests and you could stay a bit longer. Your family is always welcome, and please come back again....you can now toast your bagels on the grill or the new toaster!!!!

  We just got back from a week at this home and it was better than fantastic! When we walked in the door, we realized how much of a treat we were in for during our stay! After our days spent at the lake, there was nothing better than a soak in the tub overlooking the view, kickin' it and watching a favorite show on the big screen, or just hangin' out in the loft and chillaxin!! I already miss the kitchen, we all miss the comfortable beds and space, and that a/c came in handy a day or two of our stay!! ;) We can't thank the owners enough for their kindness and their OVER THE TOP TREATMENT!! We were truly spoiled all week!! The pond was wonderful, as the owners had suggested we go! Sitting on the deck in the evening watching the display of shooting stars was a wonderful treat, also! I could go on and on about these people and their property - we look forward to coming back and enjoying another stay next year and years to come! We'll be recommending this amazing home to our friends and family!! Thank you again and again.....

  Owner response: Thanks Regan, Dave and girls. We love it when our guests are Pillsbury people and get the Pillsbury "chilling" thing. Yes it is a great house for girl time, and the guys can always go exploring. Glad you enjoyed your time, and next year will be here before you know it!

  What a wonderful, relaxing week of vacation! This house was beautiful, homey, and comfortable. The views were spectacular – a direct view of the lake from the deck and bedrooms, a full rising moon up over the mountains, low early morning fog over the lake, spectacular sunsets, hummingbirds buzzing the feeder on the deck – nature all around. There was plenty of personal space inside the house for all of us. The gourmet kitchen was more than functional with plenty of room for more than one person at a time in it. Any spice you could possibly imagine was at your fingertips! The owners, Mike & Maryanne, were very friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable of the area. Mike was even able to get us a replacement part for our boat trailer that broke while we were there! We highly recommend this rental for a very pleasurable family holiday! It’s a hidden gem that we hope to make an annual tradition. Mike and Maryanne, thank you for opening your beautiful home up to us for a very memorable and relaxing family vacation.

  Owner response: Thanks Ed and Theresa! We so appreciate that you enjoyed the wonderful views from our house, as we still do after 10 years. Early season and late season make for the best sky-scapes. I created an album of the great photo's you shared with us available through the VRBO link to more information. Hope you can visit again soon. M&M
