This place was perfect for our family gathering. Plenty of room for 6 people and one well behaved dog. Everything was first class especially the kitchen (over the top!). The back yard was a beautiful tiered garden. We loved the mid-century vibe but appreciated everything being updated and very clean. Plenty of parking. Master bath shower was wonderful. We have nothing negative to say about this property. Thank you John for such a lovely place to gather our family…Mark & Evelyn

Beautiful property with perfect execution

Honestly easy AND pleasant. The property is lovely. The inside is open, comfortable, clean, and functional. We stayed with 6 adults and prepared and fed 18 boys each night. It was roomy and easy to utilize outdoors. The back yard is serene and picture perfect! Love our stay. Not to mention host was responsive and kind.

Wonderful stay

⸻During our vacation, we could hardly believe we had arrived at such a wonderful place. The cleanliness, the facilities, the endless little treats, and the generosity that was felt in every detail – everything was just perfect.The kitchen is better equipped than most home kitchens, the yard is stunning, and the parking area is spacious.We enjoyed a record player with excellent music, large rooms, and well-equipped bathrooms. We truly couldn’t find a single flaw.Our experience was exceptional, and communication with John throughout our stay was excellent – quick, kind, and efficient responses.We wholeheartedly recommend staying at this property.

Wedding family

We had 8 adults and two children... House was absolutely perfect.... The large kitchen was amazing for food prep and we all enjoyed the spectacular backyard and deck with hot tub!. The rollaway needs either great for the kids. Everyone connected that the beds were so comfortable! We had the best time and highly recommend this property. The hosts were great at communicating! Oh and our barista kids loved the espresso machine and making us coffee daily

We were beyond happy with this house, it was clean, quiet, plenty of room. Our hosts were outstanding, any questions or concerns we had, we had an immediate response. Easy set up for WIFI, but the funny part was those of us with older cell phones were unable to make or receive phone calls but that was easily fixed as we could facetime or use another's phone. This, honestly, did not bother my husband and I as we were happy to be unavailable. :) Thank you for a wonderful stay!
