Secluded Hideout up in the Trees...

My family and I stayed at Peggy's charming home during my son's wedding in nearby Upland, CA. We rented both the upper and lower units, and it was a terrific experience for us! Over a 4-day stay, about one dozen family members stayed at the home, which is very conveniently located near the Los Angeles County Fair Grounds and to 1-10. The home has a terrific living/dining/kitchen, which was very well appointed and which held all of us with ease. There is a fabulous, large deck with a hot tub, which is a great addition to the property. Three bedrooms and several sleeper sofas accommodated couples, singles, late nighters and early risers just fine. The living areas are on two levels, so be aware that there are steps. The home is very secluded and quiet. You would definitely need to drive to most attractions, and it is a little difficult to find; but it is worth the effort! There are very few properties available in this area, and this is the only one large enough for our group. It was a fun way to celebrate my son's wedding!

If you're planning on enjoying some time at this house, i would recommend staying somewhere else. This place is made for families who plan on being quiet during their stay. The owners are very uptight and even have 2 cameras on the front and back porch to keep an eye on things. They claim it's completely legal to have the cameras, but it seemed a bit extreme and uncomfortable to us. On top of that, the owners stay in a tiny home that's half way down the driveway while you're in their house. You will get a noise complaint at night even if you're only enjoying conversation and laughter on the back porch. They advertise having an outdoor hot tub, but after having some beers and cigarettes in the tub they decided to not refund my entire deposit and claimed they would have to clean the tub after our stay. In my opinion a hot tub should be cleaned after every guest no matter what. Their other reasons for not refunding the deposit was that we left a few uncleaned dishes, forgot to take out a little trash and smoked cigarettes outside (which is against their policy because of starting fires). I understand the concern of starting fires, but we are 30 years old and are fully capable of smoking a cigarette without starting a wild fire. This is the first time i've ever not received my full deposit back. Only after writing the owner multiple times did she refund me a very small portion of the deposit, meaning she kept most of it to clean the tub, take out a bag of trash and wash a few dishes. This left me wondering what the cleaning fee was for?? To add insult to injury, we came in August and the house was extremely hot. The air conditioning did not work at all, making sleeping very uncomfortable. The owner told us to try and leave the doors open to get some air flow which only ended up letting bugs in the house. It's a beautiful house and Peggy seemed like a very nice lady, but if you are trying to come here to enjoy some time at the house i would recommend finding another place.

Property worked perfectly for our family and Peggy went out of her way to help us with airline snafus and changing schedules! We hope to stay again.

Peggy was a great host and the home was a perfect place for us to nest while we moved our daughter into one of the Claremont colleges. Thanks for the wonderful stay.

Peggy & Phil were SO easy to work with and very accommodating. The house was the perfect balance of peace and serenity and fun! We enjoyed the quiet nights, beautiful wood deck and cozy beds! Thank you for making our stay wonderful.

Our son and daughter-in-law were married in Claremont, and Peggy and Phil's house was very nice for our extended family. It wasn't too far from the Claremont Colleges-about a 10 minute drive. The house had very nice touches put out just for us; coffee, chocolates, and cookies were both upstairs snd downstairs (we rented both units). We had a large group of people, and the owners made sure the picnic tables and chairs were set up before we got there. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch drinking our coffee and watching the beautiful sunrises. We also enjoyed that it was removed from the city in the hills. Peggy and Phil were easy to work with and we would recommend this VRBO to anyone staying in the area. In fact, I wish we would've known about it while our son had been attending Pomona College, since it can be very difficult to find a hotel there.

Vague renters agreement is bait for your security deposit

This is a very pleasant property with a nice sunny kitchen and leafy surroundings. It has plenty of space for a family. Very close to Claremont Colleges, it is perfect for visiting the schools. Would book there again.

We were looking for a place to accommodate the 5 of us. Instead of getting two hotel rooms for our California trip to look at colleges we found this house. Peggy and her husband are very accommodating and helpful and really nice. The house had everything we needed and we had a very nice trip. We also went to Disney , Beverly Hills and Santa Monica. All within a 45 minute to an hour drive.

My now husband (Fiance at the time) and I were on the hunt for a place to stay/get ready for the weekend of our wedding! We looked into hotels and for the price, this house is incomparable! My photographer was so in love with the home, Brides if you are getting married in the area, this is the place to be! The decoration is a beautiful vintage touch and photos come out so beautiful! The master bedroom has huge doors with windows that let in such beautiful lighting. The second bedroom is super roomy and there are plenty of extra pillows, blankets, sheets etc. There are two areas with dinning tables so it was wonderful for the Girls and Guys to get ready separately. The owners of the home are awesome and so accommodating. I had numerous changes throughout the booking process and Peggy was so patient with me. The area is super secluded which means lots and lots of privacy and not much traffic which is really ideal for us. The owners recently put in a beautiful large hot tube, we didnt get the chance to use it but it looked great! Not to mention when we checked in she had Mimosas fixings ready for us and snacks/chocolates. Everything in the home is new and kept in great shape. Overall we had such a wonderful stay and I would come back again for our anniversary perhaps next year! Thank you so much Peggy, your home made our wedding even more memorable for us!!
