Beautiful guest house

We loved the house. It was great except the previous guest must have had a dog and the house smelled like a dog. I had to use air freshener and open all the windows. There was no dog hair but the smell was overwhelming and powerful. After 24 hours with the windows open the smell dissipated but it was rough the first night.

We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. It was the perfect location to many outdoor activities. The home itself was cozy and had all the amenities we needed. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Will definitely be back to do more exploring!

Wonderful property, better than described

This was the perfect property for our week-long Lake Shasta/Redding area stay. The yard was perfect for our two dogs. The home is nicely updated, and the main bedroom mattress was great; it was not too firm or soft. The home is between two dental businesses, and there were never any issues with traffic or noise. It is an easy on/off the freeway. It was perfect for a couple or small family stay. The internet was great, and I had no issues while working during the week. The owner/manager is very responsive, respectful, and pleasant. We will look to stay here again.

Comfortable oasis in a chaotic week

Great place to stay. My mother commented many times on how comfortable and adaptable it was to her needs. She is mostly handicapped after a stroke and cannot sleep lying down, but this place was spacious enough for her to get around easily and had and excellent recliner to help her sleep. We did have to negotiate two shallow steps to enter the house, but I have helped her do that in the past, so it was easy. Everything was high quality and charming.

A wonderful little home!!

I wish all VRBO homes were as clean, organized, well kept, and decorated like this one is! It was perfect!! I tend to be very "particular" and this home is one of the very few that meets my standards. The hosts went above in beyond in the organization which I very much appreciated. Everything from light switches being labeled to contents in cabinets (even bathrooms) bring clean and organized. All furniture is clean and newer. The decor was adorable. The exterior of the home was just as pleasing. I could go on and on about how much this was one of my favorite rentals! A very cute, well taken of property with great landscaping. The hosts had great communication and went above on their end as well. We came in late and the host had blown up the air mattress for us. My kiddos loved the snack bowl on the table! I hope we get the opportunity to stay again!!
