We had a terrific stay at Saddleback Sanctuary. The Hugh Newell Jacobson house is a joy to visit and the property has lots of places to explore and discover. Only two things were a preponderance of dead bugs near the windows and the CO detectors went off during our stay. The staff was exceedingly responsive though, so we felt in good hands and things were resolved. ##### John This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Prince 1 Mar 2025 #### I am actually very disappointed with the upkeep of the property. The house was infested with bugs I did like how quickly property management responded to my requests. They answered all my questions in a timely manner and were very courteous. But I cannot emphasize enough how dissatisfied I am with the cleanliness and upkeep of the property. The house was infested with ladybugs, large beettles and flies. I couldn't get a good night sleep because bugs were literally dropping off the ceiling onto my face in bed. I couldn't eat or cook in the house. The floors weren't clean and stove was dirty ##### Prince ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Storefront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Staunton-Hotels-The-Storefront.h19124170.Hotel-Information) > > [The Blackburn Inn and Conference Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Staunton-Hotels-The-Blackburn-Inn-And-Conference-Center.h22454998.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Rag View Horse Farm with Log Lodge and Treehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madison-Hotels-Old-Rag-View-Horse-Farm-With-Log-Lodge-And-Treehouse.h30250722.Hotel-Information) > > [Dogs Welcome Peaceful Point Eddington ME, Near Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eddington-Hotels-Dogs-Welcome-Peaceful-Point-Eddington-ME.h18979882.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waikoloa-Hotels-Ocean-Tower-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h28763131.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Dakota](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killdeer-Hotels-Hotel-Dakota.h9760278.Hotel-Information) > > [Albemarle Estate at Trump Winery](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Charlottesville-Hotels-Albemarle-Estate-At-Trump-Winery.h9758047.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h19613.Hotel-Information) > > [Travel Inn - Duffield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Travel-Inn-Duffield.h109006061.Hotel-Information) > > [Scandinavian Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sister-Bay-Hotels-Scandinavian-Lodge.h16603450.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Gloucester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gloucester-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Gloucester.h462015.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Winchester-University/Mall Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Winchester-UniversityMall-Area.h19971.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Suffolk by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Suffolk-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Suffolk.h1777626.Hotel-Information) > > [Postcard Cabins Shenandoah, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stanardsville-Hotels-Postcard-Cabins-Shenandoah.h110401521.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Dumfries by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dumfries-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Dumfries.h1647511.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tides Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvington-Hotels-The-Tides-Inn.h880319.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Suffolk Riverfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Suffolk-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Suffolk-Riverfront.h1172221.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Winchester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Winchester.h1090593.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Tesla MedBed Center, East Dubuque](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Dubuque-Hotels-Tesla-MedBed-Center.h1076011.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonesta Simply Suites Hampton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newport-News-Hotels-Sonesta-Simply-Suites-Hampton.h67734.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Casino-Bristol.h105788615.Hotel-Information) > > [Studios and Suites 4 Less Emporia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Emporia-Hotels-Studios-And-Suites-4-Less-Emporia.h10002.Hotel-Information) > > [J House Greenwich](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stamford-Hotels-J-House-Greenwich.h8392.Hotel-Information) ---
