Don't expect friendliness!
Overall, our stay at this proper was a mixed bag. The location was absolutely stunning, as it was nestled atop a mountain, offering breathtaking views. It truly felt like a serene getaway. However, there were a few drawbacks that affected our overall impression. Let's start with the positives - although the kitchen was a bit dated, it was well stocked with all the necessary items. It would have been a delight to cook in if not for the functional issues with the stove/oven. Unfortunately, it wasn't fully operational, which was inconvenient. The bathrooms had been updated, which was a plus. However, there was an important detail that wasn't disclosed in the property description - we discovered signs stating that excess toilet paper should be placed in the trash, not the toilet. It would have been helpful to know this in advance, as it could influence one's decision to stay at the property. One of the main drawbacks of our experience was the property manager. Unfortunately, he wasn't the friendliest or most accommodating individual. He didn't provide sufficient explanations regarding certain aspects of the property, such as the keybox, and he didn't allow for early check-in, which could have enhanced our stay. Additionally, when we inadvertently left a few items behind, his response was not accommodating. Instead of finding a suitable solution, he simply left our belongings in a trash bag and left it at the front door, which was disappointing and unprofessional.

Wonderful stay!
I rented the property to bring my extended family together for Thanksgiving. The property is amazing and full of old world charm. The retro professional kitchen met all of our needs and we had more than enough dining space for 8. We will return to this gem.

Amazing Views!
The castle is as advertised and the views are amazing. Getting there is pretty scary due to the curves up the mountain but once you get there, the castle and views are awesome. We were a family of 10 and all fit comfortably. My only issue was a drainage issue in one of the showers. Otherwise the castle was very cool to stay at and we enjoyed it. Thank you.

Third Party Management companies ruining customer experience
Really no complaints on the renting process, and the communication up until the day of the rental. The rules seemed pretty straight forward, send the owners of the property which happened to be a third party management company called, ‘Evolve’ a picture of my ID 48 hrs before check-in at 4p to get gate code access and lock box instructions. This was done on my end, and then nothing was ever communicated back to me. The day of check-in, still no information on gate code access, or lock box instructions. So naturally, I called the number that on the contact page. Turns out the gentleman I spoke with was the manager of the cleaning service that Evolve uses when they turn over the house after guests complete their stay. He said that he never received my ID photo, and for me to text it to him because it’s easier. I replied, “no problem” and sent a follow up. Close to the check-in time, I still received no confirmation, no information about gate code access, or any lock box instruction. I called the gentleman that I had correspondence with earlier and he said that there would be no need for any of that because the cleaning crew was still turning over the house, and that they’d let my party in. As I mentioned before, check in was at 4p and we arrived at the property around 4:30 to give a buffer of time for the cleaning crew to finish the home. They were still not finished cleaning the house. My party and I decided to leave the home to give the crew more time to finish. We came back at 6p and the cleaning crew had just finished up (2 hrs after check in). They unfortunately still did not leave me any gate code information, nor lock box codes. I did not realize this was a problem until more of my party made their way to the house and were locked of the gate that I didn’t have codes to( gate was open while the cleaning crew was there). I had to call the cleaning crew manager again and get the gate codes after about 20 mins of waiting. On check out, the cleaning crew manager still did not think to give me lock box codes for the keys until the absolute last moment as we were trying to leave the property. There was no binder or Manual for myself to familiarize myself with the house, even any first-aid location instructions in case of emergency. No reimbursement for the 2 hrs of time I was not able to be in the house due to cleaning. Simply put, this rental was way too expensive to have this many hiccups.

Good place and close to Rose Hills
Good place. Could use some updates in cookware provided and other amenities. There are signs in all the bathrooms that say to put the toilet paper in the trash can. If you need a stove, then know it is an old style that is not spotless. Lots of space to spread out and hang. We enoyed our time at The Castle.

Lovely Spanish style vacay away from it all
Beautiful Spanish style home. The house is pretty far up into the hills which provided some beautiful city views. Very secluded, private and quiet. Gorgeous upgrades to the bathrooms. I wish the kitchen was upgraded. The stove and oven were very old. Being an older home, it was a little dusty. Towels provided were very low grade. Bring your own towels. (I usually do that anyway.) Overall, I enjoyed my stay!!!
