We couldn’t get over how amazing the backyard was. The view of the river and hills, so much wildlife, it was really everything you’d hope from the pictures. And it has lots of seating and a great pool, so we were out there for hours a day. We surprised ourselves by not even making it into the river during our stay, but we’re definitely hoping to go back, and that will be top of our list!
The inside had the basics. I would note that the kitchenette is very limited, but in retrospect I can see it’s very accurately described in the listing, and it’s on me for not reading it carefully enough. I’ll also share our temperature observations, since other reviewers emphasized the lack of AC: we were up there for two 100+F days, and the lack of AC was no problem for us. Granted, we were on day trips or in the pool at the hottest times of day, but by evening it was perfectly comfortable indoors with the fans (and we are San Franciscans with a very low tolerance for heat! 😄)
We had the property to ourselves during our stay. I’m not sure who (usually? sometimes?) occupies the upstairs unit, but if they use the backyard too, that may affect the vibe.
Lastly, the host was very communicative and responsive, and gave us some great suggestions for local events during our stay!
All in all an amazing getaway, and we really would love to go back in the future!!
