Located right on the Hammond Trail, the house has a nice yard for our small dog, comfy beds and a modern kitchen. A very nice, quiet neighborhood as well! Only issues we had were that we couldn't get the ice maker to work in the fridge, and struggled to get the TV to work (most likely, that's cause were technically challenged!). Highly recommended! ##### Mitchell C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Bruce E. 11 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Reunion in redwood country Excellent location, located on the Hammond Trail, very nice kitchen and appliances. Some kitchen equipment such as knives, salad bowl, salad spinner, electric hot water kettle, etc. are absent. Only 4 chairs around the dining room table, so if you have six people for dinner, two would have to stand. Overall very light on furniture. Excellent and highly responsive agent and owner. Great garage. ##### Bruce E. Stayed 29 nights in Sep 2024 ---
