Super Quiet with a nice mountain view
House- it was older but nice and decorated beautifully. The view was amazing and the place was super quiet. It did have an older smell in the sunroom but it's not overwhelming in the rest of the house. The sunroom did have stink bugs so I couldn't sit in there. For the most part, the stink bugs stayed in the sunroom. Only two wondered outside into the kitchen. Host- He seemed nice and was responsive.Cleanliness- Wasn't good.I had to clean the toilets, sinks, tub, microwave, and a portion of the fridge in order to use any of these places. I'm not happy about that at all since my purpose for traveling was to relieve my injuried body of all forms of work for a few days. There was seemed like dog & human kinds of hair and other forms of debris EVERYWHERE! And it was very dusty. The host offered to send the cleaner back to clean but it was the day after I had arrived and would have been on my only full day at the property. In addition to the fact that I had already cleaned in order to use these places. Overall, it would not have been a bad place to stay if it was actually professionally & skillfully cleaned.

Cute, spacious home
We had a great stay at this home. We stayed in winter, so the views of the mountains from the back deck were beautiful. We especially enjoyed the fire pit and the grill area. The house felt quite spacious and had everything you need to enjoy your stay. The host was responsive to any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this property and would love to stay there again in the future.

Bugs
We arrived at the rental between 8pm-8:30pm and after unloading & showering, we went to bed around 9pm. Within minutes of being in bed I was bitten at least 3x by something. I got up, checked the bed, and took 13 different pictures of the bugs in the bed. Being late, I was grossed out but went to the couch where I found MORE bugs and food in the cushions. My grandson said he was being bitten also. It was late and we eventually just slept until 3:30am when we couldn’t take it anymore. We packed up and left.

Mountain cozy nook
Very lovely. I was initially concerned about access to the home due to prior reviews, but the owner provided instructions in the email and the front drive ((which is very steep)) was roped off to assist with driver confusion. Just make sure to read your email in full, pass by the front of the home, follow the winding road down the mountain, and turn left at the stop sign (I believe 38th?). To be clear, this place is not handicap accessible & anyone who has a hard time with steep flights of stairs should avoid. The black steep staircase at the rear of the home leds to the guest area. Owner, Dennis, lives below. The driveway is a tad tricky but not impossible and Dennis was onsight ready to assist with any questions we had. The rental itself is lovely and as described. I saw other reviews discussing ants but my husband and I did not see any insect issue inside of the home. It was clean and cozy. It was also located just around the corner from a fabulous little Italian restaurant called, Giardino's. The only reason I gave a 4/5 stars for the neighborhood would be the concern I had regarding some of the surrounding homes. Some are large mansions at the top of the hill but others aren't as maintained. A few had bars on doors and windows, and we noted 24 hour surveillance signs posted at residences (including this vrbo) too, which made us wonder about crime in the area. However, while we were there we had zero incidents & a wonderul stay! We would absolutely recommend to others.
