My daughter from MN and I had a wonderful week long stay in this home in August. It was certainly the cleanest and had the best equipped kitchen of any house I have rented over the last 15 years. The house is 3 stories with the main living level on the 2nd floor--great room, master bedroom and bath, and second bath; entry level is garage, laundry and small family type room; and 3rd floor having the 2nd bedroom and a loft with a bed. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the great room had wonderful light from the many windows throughout the day. Although built in the 1990's there have been updates, so the house feels relatively contemporary. It is situated in the hills on a large lot, in a neighborhood where many of the pine trees have been left standing. The neighborhood is quiet and very walkable, with some interesting new develpments up the hill.
We loved having morning coffee on the balcony while it was shaded, and went out again in the evening. We caught sight of deer a couple of evenings in the natural back yard. If we wanted to enjoy sitting out other times, we would use the patio area in front of the garage. The house stayed cool, even during the hot days and we didn't have to use the AC until later in the afternoons.
For dietary reasons we cooked all our dinners at home, and found everything we could have needed in the way of equipment and staples, including a whole drawer full of spices, and even a few gluten free items. There was a new Weber grill that we used a couple of times, a real treat. We also loved the gas cooktop.
Check in couldn't have been easier; and we had great communication with Camille who contacted us after we had arrived to make sure everything had gone well. And when the power went out one morning, we heard from her almost immediately to ask if there was anything we needed (there wasn't) It is worth noting that the house was immaculate when we arrived, no dust or dirt anywhere...even the corners were clean. The kitchen was spotless.
We couldn't have asked for a better place for a mother/daughter get away!
