Misrepresented listing

I really wanted to like this place, as the listing for it looks great, but other than the location and proximity to Yosemite it was utterly disappointing. When we first got there, the original door code they gave me didn’t work (luckily the host provided a second one) and there was no power. We found out from the neighbor that the host actually moved because the frequent power outages, yet they don’t provide a generator for guests. It went out both days we were there for a couple hours, and in 100+°F weather the kids with us quickly started feeling unwell. Then came the cleanliness, which was the grossest place I’ve ever stayed. There were moldy, rotting dishes in the dishwasher, dirty dishes put back in the cupboards, hairs and A PIECE OF AN ONION PEEL in the beds, sticky floors, garbage around the lot and in the house. There was not enough clean bedding in the linen closet for all of us, so we had to ration it between us all. Finally, the rules listed on the page here are nothing compared to the 5 page rule book they have at the residence trying to absolve themselves of any liability, which also mentions the surveillance cameras (one in the front, one on the back balcony) that is not mentioned on the listing (although according to Vrbo, that could be grounds for being kicked off the platform). The host did refund us the cleaning fee, but overall the place is not worth the price, and if you do stay you should expect to lose power for a couple hours most days in the summer.

We had a wonderful time. Property was very spacious for our group! The house was a little dirty. Feel like it was cleaner when we left then when we arrived. There were no ping pong balls the pool table top was dirty and the triangle to set the balls was broken. Downstairs beds felt very flimsy so wouldn’t want anyone large or two people to sleep in them. We forgot a sentimental spreader in the dishwasher and have been unable to get a response to see if we can pay to have it shipped back. Be prepared for power outage as it happened to us and the nieghbor said it happens often.

Amazing getaway

Easy check in and check out process. The host, Manisha, communicated with us the whole time letting us know before we checked in that the area was experiencing power outages. Luckily those got resolved before we checked in and the house was still cleaned for us to arrive Very large and clean place. I would stay again with more family members to make better use of all the rooms since this time was just 3. A/C worked well. Washer and dryer worked well. Some of the windows don’t have blinds or curtains which would have just made us feel safer and have more privacy at night when we can’t see outside

No power no generator

No power and no generator. Extreme heat and all food spoiled. If they get a generator I would stay again. The house was nice and clean. We would have loved to enjoy the game room more but again no power so playing in the dark was not optimal.

Wonderful stay!!

We had a wonderful stay here. The house was clean and well equipped with spices, toiletries and board games. The game room was a bonus and kids and adults both enjoyed it. The patio looks out into green trees and it was very relaxing to spend time here. The customer service was great too and they were available to answer any questions we had. The lake close by is beautiful. The only drawback is that it is 45 min from Yosemite. Overall a great place. I’d totally recommend this to families wanting to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Vacation at the lake

My family and I spent one week in June at this house. We felt very comfortable and welcoming. Manisha, the hostess, was very resourceful and responded to all our questions promptly. The house is at the very convenient location. It has everything one needs, including excellent game room, board games and TV with Netflix. It is very clean and has AC. We definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested without any reservations.

Great for a large group

There were 11 adults that stayed here and it all worked out perfectly. We enjoyed the balcony and the game room. There was plenty of room for everyone. The location was wonderful. We saw wild turkeys and deer. Do not leave your empty drink containers in the house, as the ants will find it. We started putting the containers outside by the door and then taking to the trash outside. There was ant spray we used, which helped tremendously. It was a fun time and we would stay here again.

Exceeds expectations!

Lots of places look great in photos and then disappoint. Ray of Moon is even better than it looks in the photos! Upstairs layout is spacious and open—great for a large group or family. Sleeping spaces also worked out great. Kitchen is super well stocked. We didn't need Manisha for anything, but I she checked in and seemed easy to reach had we needed anything.

Perfect Home

The home is perfect for family and friends to stay and feel very comfortable. Ms. Patel was a perfect host checking in through email and answering our questions quickly. We have stayed at a lot of VRBOs throughout the world and she has really made sure you have everything you might need from spices, kitchen utensils, paper products, bathroom needs, extra blankets, laundry needs, create a hot chocolate station for a warm welcome, the bathrooms were stocked as though you were staying in a nice hotel. The game room was a BIG bonus when you have kids and it is cold outside. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to create lasting memories.
