Very Good

We had a terrific stay at Saddleback Sanctuary. The Hugh Newell Jacobson house is a joy to visit and the property has lots of places to explore and discover. Only two things were a preponderance of dead bugs near the windows and the CO detectors went off during our stay. The staff was exceedingly responsive though, so we felt in good hands and things were resolved.

I am actually very disappointed with the upkeep of the property. The house was infested with bugs
I did like how quickly property management responded to my requests. They answered all my questions in a timely manner and were very courteous. But I cannot emphasize enough how dissatisfied I am with the cleanliness and upkeep of the property. The house was infested with ladybugs, large beettles and flies. I couldn't get a good night sleep because bugs were literally dropping off the ceiling onto my face in bed. I couldn't eat or cook in the house. The floors weren't clean and stove was dirty

Hi Prince! Thank you so much for your feedback.
As mentioned during your stay, the rural location of the property with a vineyard nearby does leave the home subject to some insect visitors, especially in times of quick fluctuation in temps and unseasonably warm days. Additionally, we always recommend only opening windows with screens in place, as that helps to cut down on their access points. Based on your comments we increased our regular pest control regiment, and hope to have minimized their presence as much as possible in the future. Additionally, we have addressed your feedback about the stove and floors with our team as cleanliness of each of our properties is of the utmost importance, and absolutely something we are unwilling to compromise on! We apologize deeply for your experience, and again, thank you for your feedback.
