We had an extended stay here for a work trip. Kathy was very helpful and responsive. The place has all the amenities you need. We also enjoyed the trail and creek behind the house for a quick hike after long work days. Overall we highly recommend this place
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
This property had an extremely well stocked kitchen. The firepit area was very appealing. Great place to stay. Very quiet neighborhood, but close to necessities.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
Nice place away from the city but still only 5 minutes away from Safeway. Loved the location and interior. The creek was nice to venture out to. Loved having kid friendly dishes/cups. One minor complaint would be the upstairs nose is very noticeable especially in the early mornings. I'm sure it was not intentional but probably just the way the home was built.
