Great quiet house.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
First the pros. House was in a great location, excellent views and the house had ample space. Kitchen had everything we needed. Loved the dining room table. Plenty of bedrooms, clean sheets and the house was very clean as well. Grounds were beautiful too. Thankful that dogs were allowed too because not every place allows multiple ones. So great for pet lovers. Would give 5 stars but they need to address a few things. First I didn’t love that anyone can open the garage and that’s the initial way you have to get in. The breezeway door handle kept falling out and other reviews also mention the doors didn’t lock well and there are a million doors it seems. The sunroom was unusable because there was an open ripped screen with nails sticking out. It was too cold as there was not glass over the broken screen. Don’t expect to use the sunroom in the fall! It’s very dark at night and while there is a flashlight there were no batteries. We bought our own but we shouldn’t have had to do that. Finally The shower upstairs is unusable. No pressure. We couldn’t use it. Other reviews also mention this but it seems that the issue still remains. If these issues were fixed I would give 5 stars but it needs a little work. Overall though it’s a nice big house, if you are a bunch of people and dogs you can overlook the issues because again we were very grateful that we were able to take all of dogs. We were 3 couples, 3 kids and 4 dogs !!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
The house was large, incredibly charming, with historical features with modern amenities. You can tell that it has been well taken care of over the years. The grounds of this house are amazing and photos do not show the huge backyard with walking paths through wildflowers, ample private backyard and front yard space to run and play and explore! It's also on a very quiet country road that you can walk down and it's safe. The setting was beautiful and we enjoyed watching the sunset over the mountains each day. The Avantstay team was very communicative and helped immediately with any problem we faced. We also appreciated that the house was pet friendly - its a great yard and house for dogs (and kids and adults of course).
6.0 / 10.0Average·Mar 2023
Over the years we have successfully rented at least 5 other properties. Unfortunately Whitney was a big disappointment due to things easily remedied by improving their cleaning and maintenance.
Cleaning issues were primarily related to the kitchen and are as follows:
Upon arrival the coffee maker had used grounds left in the filter.
The garbage can to the right of the sink was completely full of trash.
The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes.
The oven had spilled food on the bottom resulting in smoke as it heated up to cook something.
The refrigerator had crumbs etc inside. It obviously wasn’t cleaned.
The cloth napkins were dirty. We used paper towels instead. A better option would be to supply paper napkins.
The floor in the enclosed porch, was covered with dirt, leaves and twigs.
Maintenance issues include the following:
The Fujitsu remote for the first floor guest bedroom did not work. Upon investigation a leaking battery was discovered. The only option was to take a replacement battery out of one of the living room remotes.
The second floor shower was useless due to very low water press and and ineffective water temperature control
One of the door locks in the second floor bathroom kept falling out. It’s missing a screw or what’s there is the wrong size.
Many of the window shades on the second floor are broken.
The fireplace flue was open. We closed it. Also, the fireplace itself was overflowing with ashes.
As someone is aware because there is a note, the main glass door between the laundry and living room couldn’t be used. Due to its primary location fixing it should be a priority.
A kitchen knife was jutting out of the window lock in the kitchen to keep it shut with a note stating not to remove the knife. This looks like a simple repair.
We hope these issues are addressed immediately so future tenants will have a better stay than we did. The house itself has lots of character and is located on a beautiful country road.
