A so so experience
Directions were very detailed and well communicated. The vibe I got from driving up in the property was very sketchy. Not a well maintained esthetic property. We did love the two massage chairs that were in the room. The bathrooms toilet and showers were clean. The floors did need to be swept. The counters in the kitchenette could have used a good wipe down before we arrived. We enjoyed the hot tub! I guess we were talking jwith raised voices because we did get a pounding on a wall which I believe was ment to be a warning. Granted it was after 10pm I totally understand. Honestly didn’t think it was necessary it was just two people talking. One of the drawbacks for having the owner living at the VRBO property.

A fairly nice place to stay
Overall I would recommend this place.Highlights included the location and hot tub, while the proximity to the owner was unexpected.The place is very close to several hiking areas, parks etc so for a little vacation with my dog it was perfect. It was also a quick drive to some restaurants and coffee shops so overall, prime location for what I was looking for. I thought the hot tub and massage chair were great as well.The apartment was fairly clean except the bathroom sink and some of the dishes were dirty or splotchy. The check in process was quite odd, but not sure if it’s standard for Vrbo. he had me call him the day before but only explained what he’d already sent me in the message. It was quite a lengthy message but there were some bits of info (like operating the hot tub) that I felt were left out. I don’t prefer for rental owners to have my personal number so the calling ahead wasn’t ideal for me.I will note that this is very much attached to the owners home, like they added an addition/built out an old garage. It is a separate entrance and I didn’t have to interact with the owner at all. But you can definitely hear them coming and going or moving around in their home. Every time they entered their gate it sounded like someone was coming into this place’s yard, which did spook my dog and I a few times. The neighborhood was nice but there are very few streetlights so bring a flashlight if you need to walk a dog in the evening.A nice space for 1-2 people.
