Nice big house with fun air hockey and foosball. Always appreciate dog friendly homes. Tried to reach vacasa due to no pellets for pellet stove and no response to message

Super Charming

We ended up booking this home last minute in exchange for a different home somewhere else that canceled unexpectedly. What a blessing this turned out to be! This home is super charming and our family had an absolutely wonderful time here. Great set up in the kitchen, dining and living area. The kids all enjoyed playing the games. Location is super quiet and closely located to Calaveras big trees. Highly recommend staying here, you will absolutely enjoy your time.

Great location. As Described. Not The Best Communication

Everything was as described. Location was clean and everything was smooth. I sent messages well before reservation dates but didn't hear back until day of check-in. Also reached out on final day to see get clarity on check-out process with no response. It didn't make a big difference, but something to keep in mind. I'd recommend sending multiple messages in multiple methods if you don't hear back in a reasonable timeframe. The place was great though.

Worst experience

The house was not clean when we arrived. All dirty sheets and towels were on the floor. Bathrooms were not clean. The property does not have parking in the winter. We had 4WD vehicles and could not make it up the driveway and there was nowhere else to park. We hauled all of our gear in, suitcases and coolers, up the icy driveway all of those stairs only to find it a mess. We left immediately.

Renter Beware; Not safe for kids

I would love to be here to say that this stay was a “Vacation Valhalla” but it was more accurately a Vacation from Hell. It’s on a hill right nextdoor to a marijuana grow operation that the backyard overlooks which brought up some Interesting discussion at the Christmas dinner table with my teenager. They did let us check in early, thank God, because unloading a week worth of luggage and groceries up the 5 sets of stairs would have been a nightmare at night, especially with the broken stair they didn’t manage to repair before our week long stay even tho we booked it 3 months in advance. Our friends came up for the day with their toddler who left with a shiner after smacking his eye on one of the bare hollow polls sticking out of the fuzzball table that was missing a rubber handle. If you’re still thinking about staying be sure you prepare for cold weather inside. They have a Nest and have it set to override your settings to keep the cabin at 50-60 degrees. It took us a couple nights to realize we had to get up at 12:30, 4 & 7am to turn up the thermostat every night. Then there was the plumbing. The downstairs toilet flushed half the time and the washer overflowed flooding the downstairs hallway. Upon inspection we realized there is significant water damage and mold down the wall behind the washer so they’ve likely been neglecting this issue for a while. Lastly, the multiple exposed sharp metal brackets sticking up on the retaining wall deterred us from using the backyard.
