An exceptional property. So many little surprises. The host made a point to be sure my 2 year old grandson had a safe place to sleep and decorated his bed in spaceships and planets. Highly recommend and will book again when my family is in town.

Thank you for such a kind review! We are so glad the little details stood out and that your grandson's bed made the stay extra special for your family. It means a lot to hear you would recommend the property to others.
This was our 54th rental over 17 years, and it easily ranks in our top three. The home was cozy, thoughtfully stocked with everything you could think of, and the location made errands and meals a breeze. But what really set it apart was the host, Jules. Warm, responsive, and never intrusive. It felt like she thought of everything without hovering. Comfortable furniture, great amenities like the pool table and smoker. This is absolutely a place we’d actually come back to, which is rare for us. We left feeling genuinely cared for.

Thank you so much for such a kind and thoughtful review! Knowing that we made your top 3 is truly one of the highest compliments we have received!
It was an absolute pleasure hosting you. I am so glad the home was comfortable, enjoyed the amenities, and had everything you needed for a relaxing stay. We welcome you back anytime! 😀
This place is so clean and quiet and homelike and close to everything. Loved patio where we could relax, chat and read with two dogs sleeping at our feet.
Older property that was cozy, exceptionally comfortable, with numerous little touches throughout to make it special. Well stocked kitchen, and walkable to the old town section of Jackson. Would be delighted to book again!
Such a well equipped, comfortable, and fun place to stay!
Everyone in our party agreed that this was a fantastic place to stay! Crazy as it may sound I even had to bake a wedding cake here and I was able to do it!! It was cozy and comfortable and fun and worked out great for our family! Thank you so much to a very gracious and accommodating host!
We’ll maintained charming home. Wonderful enclosed patio/yard for my quadraped. Great location near major supermarket, nice restaurants, historic downtown Jackson. Pleasant drive to Shenandoah valley and superb wineries.
House is very cute and updated with all modern conveniences. The host has stocked the kitchen and bathrooms with all the supplies you could possibly need and the game room was a big hit for our family
We immediately felt comfortable and felt we had all we needed. The host provided a wonderful binder filled with pertinent information we referred to while we were there. There was plenty of parking off the street in this very quiet neighborhood. It was a very lovely stay and plan on returning.
We had an absolutely incredible stay! This quaint and cozy home offered all the amenities you can possibly need and want. It is apparent that Jules (thee amazing host) went above and beyond with all of the kind and thoughtful touches to the home.
We will definitely be staying here again and recommending it to our family and friends.
This property was in a beautiful location in Jackson. Close to downtown but out of the way and quiet. This property is decorated beautifully and has everything you could possibly need stocked! We really appreciated all the personal touches and the obvious love and care that goes into this property. We will definitely be visiting the Knotty Pine again when we come back to this area!!
The friend who joined us this year has mobility issues, and there is a route into the house that doesn’t use stairs, which was perfect. We so appreciate the fact that our dogs are welcome; the completely and securely fenced patio is perfect for them. The house has everything you would ever need in it and is super comfortable!
Everything was amazingly ready for us, including snacks, ice cream, and wine! Excellent communication with the property manager and the house was cozy, homey, and comfortable. We will be back!
This property was perfect for getting out of the stormy weekend. The home was ready for our check in and more.The cheese plate,fruit,candies and water were a nice touch..Julie was a great hostess!!We did spend some time at Jackson Rancheria,They offer fine dining and of course gambling.
We had a wonderful time in this classic, comfortable home. It was on a quiet street, not far from a historical downtown area. The house was very clean. It had everything we needed, and even things we didn't know we needed, like board games, wine, and complementary ice cream bars. We spent a fun evening in the game room, slept well, and really enjoyed the coffee the next morning. The host was great. She made the check in and check out process a breeze. We would stay here again.
This house was perfect!! Our host Julie allowed us to check in early and let us stay in the house while we waited for a tow truck. We left the back open and had a dead battery. The house was so well appointed. There were ice cream bars in the freezer and a great selection of coffee!! There was a variety of shampoos and body washes in the showers and large thirsty bath towels. The beds were all very comfy. Great place to stay!’
We will be back!
Communication with the homeowner was fast and impressive. The home is just like the photos. The beds very comfortable. A snack cupboard! (Grandkids enjoyed and we attempted to stock back up) the home is warm, and welcoming. Board games and other family games which we enjoyed. Our family came to visit us and it felt fun and “just like home”. We could not have had a better experience. No more hotels for us!
Impeccably clean, Exceptionally well stocked, excedded expectations! Very pet friendly, too. We traveled to Jackson with our large labrador retriever for our 45 year old daughters wedding. This lovely vacation rental had everything we could possibly need. After the wedding a couple of family members and our 2 great grandbabies came over to visit for a few hours. The pool table, patio, and baby toys were much appreciated. We have stayed at vacation rentals in PA, MI, WI, AZ, NV and many places in CA...this was one if the Best! Will definately book this place again!
We had a wonderful stay, and the pictures just didn’t do this home justice. The sprawling rambler home was very clean and spacious for our family of four adults and two dogs. The kitchen was very well-equipped, and we were able to cook full meals and eat at the large dining table together. The game room was a lot of fun, and we loved that there were so many access points to the back enclosed patio so that our dogs were able to really be a part of our holiday experience. The beds were very comfy, there were lots of extra blankets and pillows, and the extra amenities that the host provided - toiletries, wine, doggie pick up bags - was perfect in case anything we’d forgotten anything. The host truly took great steps to create a welcoming experience. This felt like a home away from home, and we wouldn’t hesitate it all to come back in the future. Great stay, lovely host, good times.
A well appointed, cozy and user friendly house with plenty of space and comfortable beds. An absolute bargain and it will definitely be our go to place when visiting the area in the future.
The fully fenced in back area to let the dog out to do their business is spacious and mainly concrete so traveling with the pup is made much easier while staying here.
Our little guy appreciated the big box of fun games and pool table while we were happy to have our breakfasts in a kitchen that truly felt like home. Bonus points for quality coffee provided with an up to date full sized coffee maker.
The whole house was immaculately clean and tidy but without a strong smell of cleaning products.
The checkout instructions were simple and very reasonable.
Despite the location that's very convenient to downtown Jackson and a large grocery store, it felt like a quiet suburban street far from any hubbub. In fact, looking out behind the driveway one could see hills, open fields and cows.
The host was very helpful and responsive to our questions.
Overall A+ rating and an excellent value.
Jules was an attentive host from the moment we booked the house. She asked about the children’s ages and sexes so she could coordinate the bedrooms to be age appropriate (my daughter the teen in a beautiful and chic lavender and my son 7 in a space themed bed). She asked about allergies so she could leave snacks m the pantry. We told her it was my birthday weekend and she left cakes pops and ice cream. She had a crate and dog dishes for our fur baby. The house is very clean and has everything you need. The pool table was a hit with the teen and the board games (literally everything you could think of) were fun during our family bbq. The house is in a great older part of town and if surrounded by beautiful nature and turn of the century homes. Not sure where to eat? Jules had a whole binder of menus from the local restaurants. Not sure where to drink? She had info on the wineries. She even has a bottle or two in the fridge chilling for us. Her attention to detail was like no other and we will definitely come again!
The house was comfortable, with an incredibly well-stocked kitchen. Julie also supplied an amazing amount of unexpected snack foods, and we took advantage of her generosity. Beds were cozy, heating controls clear. OH, and there was light! Many places just have ambient lighting, which makes it hard if you're a reader. There were lights everywhere (including tons of motion sensor lights). Which was wonderful! We were safe and could see whatever we needed to see (old farts here!).Julie was very responsive throughout our pre-stay and during our time in the house. The location was good. Close to everything in Jackson, and easy access to HWY 49 to go wherever you want.For those with ADA questions: One of our party is mobility impaired, uses a walker to get around, and she got from car to house and around the house with ease. However, showering was a problem. Julie supplied a shower chair, but it fully filled the walk-in shower. The other shower was a tub, and though it had grab-bars, it was impossible for my sister to step into. It was a minor problem, but I'm mentioning it for anyone else who might have ADA questions.Loved the stay!
