From the moment we pulled up to the house, we knew it was going to be a special stay. The neighborhood was beautiful & clean, the landscaping was impeccable and the entrance to the house was just beautiful as was every detail of the house from the moment we walked in. This was our first real trip since the pandemic and w/ I my husband being an essential worker, it was even more important for us to have a relaxing and special trip and Casa Lavender was a big part of why it was! There was only 2 of us so we didn’t use many parts of the home (like the extra bedrooms, the kitchen or the bbq outside), but it’s such a fabulous home whether it’s just a couple or a big family.We spent most of our time just relaxing at the pool (we paid ahead of time to have heated) and the hot tub. We loved all the umbrellas available to provide shade and the lounge chairs, couches and tables so that we could have daytime naps and meals outside. The mornings were slightly chilly so it was nice to have an outdoor heater as well (although after our 2nd day the tank ran out and the only way to refill was to do it ourselves and get reimbursed or have a person come out and do it, so we declined). The master bedroom was perfectly setup w/ a big comfy king bed, plus there is a sitting room in the master bedroom so you can watch TV (I used that space to set up our Apple TV and work out everyday). In the kitchen, there were endless options - for example they had crystal if you wanted a fancy dinner, but they also had casual flatware and plastic options to use at the pool. Other fun details were games like chess and puzzles set up at a cute 2-seater bar and I can’t say enough about the interesting and beautiful artwork in every single room and in the hallways. We were always discovering new art to look at every time we turned around. Throughout our entire stay we didn’t hear a peep from neighbors or any type of traffic which having a peaceful stay was super important to us. In terms of working with McLean, they were amazing! Easy to get a hold of by text for any questions we had, and always made sure to check in to see if we needed anything. We booked our stay for 5 days & regretted immediately we didn’t book the home for longer - but it was the start of spring break so we couldn’t extend our dates because the house was already booked. You know it was a memorable experience when you shed a tear when leaving Can’t wait to return!!
