Paula is very responsive no matter how or when we contact her - her support and help is invaluable. The home setting is beautiful, with abundant wildlife and lovely property with trails to walk. The home is clean and well stocked with sheets, blankets, towels, paper towel, TP, kleenex, etc. The beds are comfortable. The addition of WiFi made it easier for our folks who still have to sometimes work. Love the available garage to hide our vehicles from spring snow & ice! We'll be back! ##### Brian P.

The price was right and it was very quiet. However when we arrived, we found 5 plug in air fresheners plugged in, that made the house almost unbearable. I unplugged all of them and by the next morning all was well. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. Nice location in the middle of wine country. ##### Jerry H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Thomas P. 12 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Functional Place to Stay We were a bit disappointed at first glance as the place is not ascetically special at all. But we adjusted to lower expectations for what we saw and enjoyed our time. The place was clean. Kitchen was functional but the amneties of the kitchen left something to be desired. All kitchen supplies looked like things gathered from Goodwill. Maybe petty, but having a Kuerig for single coffee drinker would have been a plus and so would a corkscrew for an evening glass of wine. No Wi-fi was a drag leaving only a basic Direct TV package as entertainment option in the evenings.We enjoyed our walks into the back lot with paths to explore. The place was quiet, which we definitely appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed our stay as a silence and solitude experience without all the bells and whistles. ##### Thomas P.
