This IS a comfortable family home and a quiet home base for the Murphy's <-> Bear Valley area.
But we do have suggestions...(we understand it is a NEW rental)....
1. The garage has table-tennis, pool table and darts, but we didn't discover it until day 3 because it's not listed anywhere on VRBO or in the home materials
2. I have been to 28 states, 4 CN provinces, 10 countries and 4 continents. This is the very first time I've been asked to buy my own TP (ran out on day 4), paper towels (day 5), bar soap (day 6) and kleenex and laundry detergent (not provided). Aside from perhaps the laundry soap, this is all on the the realty company...$25 more dollars and the review gets another star or two!!!
3. The washing machine motor burned out the first time we used it (half load). With the nearest do-it-yourself washer located in Angel's Camp (Arnold's 1.5 star store was temporarily closed), the realty company did let us use another cabin's washer to finish that load.
4. Four of the five of us are highly-skilled tech people, but we never figured out how to get the living room TV to work. 1/10 times we could get to the streaming page, but it was never repeatable. We understand that many owners (like this one) discontinue their Directv service when they rent their homes ("television" was listed as an amenity), but if only streaming, it should say that AND there should be instructions to get to the streaming page.
5. To use the Blue Lake amenities, $20/day/person
