We had a late flight the night of check in, but still easily found the home and had no issues getting settled in. Communication with host was smooth and he checked in on us to make sure all was well. The home is unique and lovely. We were able to visit Sequoia National Park and enjoy the beautiful area. Would stay again. ##### Kris D.

There’s room to relax,eat,sleep,wash clothing,study,watch television, 3bd. 2ba. Pet friendly though didn’t bring mine on this trip. Can use and wash the on site dishes & cookware. Cook own food. Use fridge,microwave,oven and do laundry. 1 room has two beds. Covered patio with table and chairs. All around a really nice place to stay and plan to rent again soon. ##### Mario Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger Q. 23 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for family gatherings Everything from the pictures and the listings is spot on!! Without hesitation recommend!! Hal has been one of the best host I've ever dealt with!! However, looking back at the listing i noticed a coffee table as part of the patio set was missing during our stay. Luckily we had a folding table. Also, if you want to bbq there is no barbecue on site. Which was a bummer. Again, i would not hesitate to stay here again!! Roger ##### Roger Q. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### L T. 27 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Clean house but poor host communication Check in was simple, the house was clean, well stocked, and equipped with everything you need, including kitchen cookware. However, the Internet went out on the first day, and when we contacted the host about it, they gave us instructions that didn't resolve the issue, and then became completely unresponsive after that. Instead, they kept sending us auto replies advertising their property. The Internet issue appears to have been an issue with AT&T, and the display said to contact them, which we told the host, but the host never did anything. We're tech savvy people, so this was not an error on our end. We stayed for 4 days, and the Internet didn't work the entire time. This host account is also handled by a team of people, so replies aren't consistent, and they send you a lot of unrelated auto replies, which is really annoying when you have a question you need an answer to. They also use this account to advertise their real estate business and will solicit you even after your stay is over. I did not consent to getting spammed like this. Also, the AC can't keep up with the heat in the living room, so the common areas of the house gets hot, but the bedrooms will be freezing cold. The AC is also really loud in one of the bedrooms. This was not quite a deal breaker, but just a heads up if you're sensitive to the heat or are a light sleeper. But given the poor communication, unresolved issues, and the solicitation, we don't recommend staying here. ##### L T. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Carrie N. 2 May 2025 ##### Carrie N. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### AMY G. 24 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### OctaFarm Its a really nice house! Overall i give it a very high rating. There were few little things i would suggest improving but none have to do with the house itself. No dishwashing detergent or starter coffee provided. We had no clean dishtowels but found a sheet left in dryer with one drying towel. No drying rack. Light in master bedroom closet was so dim we couldnt see in closet. No shower mat in 2nd bath. They brought it late afternoon on day 2. Patio furniture was so dirty on porch that we couldnt sit out there to drink coffee. All that said. it is a very nice house. I would give it a 9 out of 10 because of the things I listed. They are all things that can very easily be changed and then I would say it is a 10 for sure. ##### AMY G.

The inside is more spacious than it seems in the pictures. The sunken fire pit is an amazing experience and this house has a WOW factor when you check in. The owner was very communicative throughout the whole booking/stay. I would love to stay here again! ##### Tony R.
