About the host
Hosted by Dave and Toni McClintock

When be bought this home, we loved the privacy as we raised our kids here until they were 5, 8 and 10. [Note, we've also been a host of another VRBO rental property in Snowmass, CO, for over 15 years. You can find the listing if you search for 'magic in the Aspen trees'.]
Why they chose this property
The north edge of the property borders an unused city reservoir that is closed to the public. So we have this peaceful oak grove that extends from the back yard, you feel like you're in the forest, but you're right there in Santa Barbara on the mesa, minutes from the beach, shopping / restaurants, and 3 parks!
What makes this property unique
As of November 2022 we are just wrapping up a refresh - all new floors, bathrooms, kitchen, appliances, and landscape. It's like renting a brand new home.
