The Good:
We stayed in July 2021. The host responded to questions promptly. Check in was easy. The house was clean. Almost everything worked. It is very spacious and the movie room was a hit. I wish it had a full sized charcoal grill but we knew going in that there were only two small portable type charcoal grills and we made that work for us. The wifi, HVAC, washer and dryer all worked well. The house was in fairly good shape and everything was washed and clean upon our arrival. The location was perfect and within easy driving distance of all the local sites. There are grocery, wine stores and multiple restaurants close by. The neighborhood was quiet.
The OK
The view of the mountains from the deck is almost completely obscured by the neighbor's mature trees. We were there in summer so the foliage was thick. The view might be a little better in the winter if the leaves drop but for us the only real unobstructed view was of the neighbors trees, deck and the townhomes on the other side of the path/creek in back of the home. The biking, walking etc. path is paved and there is a creek but you cannot just walk down to it from the backyard unless you want to wade down a hill and through thigh high grass, weeds and tree limbs. There are no steps or path directly down to the path but it can be accessed up the street a ways. That may be a plus b/c I did feel a tiny bit nervous about there not being any interior security bars for the sliding glass doors. Yes, they lock, but I would have felt safer w/ an additional bar to put in place at night. There was nothing sketchy about the location, nor did we have any issues, but I think adding that extra bit of security would have been nice.
The Bad
The probably 20 year old hot tub does not work well at all. Despite paying an extra fee to ensure the hot tub is "at the highest level...and serviced before you arrive" we had nothing but issues with it. Based upon the entries in the guest book, this is an ongoing issue. It heated up but the control panel would often go into error, would need restarting at the circuit breaker, and the bubbles mysteriously stopped working. It was generally a hassle. Frankly it likely needs to be completely replaced. I even found the manual online and our issues were not user error. If you are going to tout it in the description as a major selling point you should make sure it functions flawlessly.
Overall I gave it a 4 but only b/c I could not give it a 3.5.
