Good Place Lots of Space
This house is in very good shape overall.
You will find high quality architecture, construction, materials, and decor for the most part. Much of the construction, decor, and architecture seems newly remodeled, such as the deck. Many of the materials seem as though they were preserved perfectly from their high style, quality, and function from 1980.
We found many of the window blinds very badly broken, inoperable, and almost useless; pull cord blinds don't work very well at home, and they get beat up really really bad at vacation rentals. We experienced full summer sun and 105 degrees, and functioning blinds would have been helpful in some room. There is one window air conditioning unit. It is very good and powerful. It was no match for the super hot days we experienced; the top floor / bedroom was uninhabitable. The house would have gotten cooler and stayed cooler had the cleaners left the air conditioning blasting for several hours before we arrived. A few $15 box fans would help move the cool air to other parts of the house. The climate has changed since 1980, and this house needs some tools to deal with that reality. It is just plain much hotter on many more days.
The house was generally quite clean. The refrigerator was sort of clean, but mostly not clean. It had some old butter, hair, and a few other old food items in it. The carpets are beige and show quite a bit of wear, stains, burns, etc.
The air hockey game doesn't blow much air out of much of the table top, and the top seemed a bit sticky. Some lemon pledge wax furniture spray on the table top and pucks might help make it usable. The foosball table was in good condition.
They had a super nice generous new well-stocked spice rack.
The plates, bowls, serving dishes, etc. were of low quality and more would be useful.
We had a great time. The deck is very nice. The grill is very good. Lots of very nice deck chairs.
This house was a good value for what we paid. We got what we expected via looking at the photos. We planned and rented late; not many places were left near Yosemite. This place did the job well. We got exactly what we expected.
