This was a great family friendly home. It was close for our son attending UC Merced to come and hangout comfortably. It was very clean and inviting. We were extremely pleased with our stay and will be returning for sure.

We enjoyed our stay very much! The house was even more spacious than we expected from the pictures. Our children enjoyed the toys. The pack 'n' play travel crib was unfortunately broken when we arrived, but Mattie was able to fix it.

Beautiful property. It was the perfect location for our family. We were in town for a funeral. We had a little difficulty when we arrived with the code. But were able to get things ironed out pretty quickly. The house was very clean, the hot tub was amazing and the beds were very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this VRBO to someone! Hopefully we can stay here again whenever we come back to town.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Madelynn!
I'm a proud grandmother of nine wonderful humans, ranging in age from 6 to 23. I live in Merced, California, and have always loved exploring new places—I've been fortunate to travel throughout South America, Europe, the Middle East, and many beautiful parts of the Western United States.

While I’ve traded skiing and hiking for more relaxing adventures, I still enjoy biking a few times a week and taking short getaways in our motorhome. Whether I’m discovering a new view or enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, I love making space for meaningful moments.

As a host, I strive to offer a peaceful, comfortable place where you can relax, recharge, and feel truly at home. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay as much as I enjoy sharing this space with you.
