Great stay!

Nice, big house in a beautiful neighborhood. Was a great place to stay while visiting my son for Parents Weekend at UC Merced and to celebrate his birthday!

Second stay and will be back!

We were in the area again to visit my son who attends UC Merced. We chose to stay here again as our first visit was such a positive experience. The second stay was no different. The floor plan is very open/welcoming, the kitchen is well stocked for cooking, plenty of towels, laundry room and the back yard is really nice to hang out in during the evening with a fire in the fire ring. When it gets too cold even with a fire, the inside pellet furnace (pellets included) is very nice to gather around. The location is close to these great walking/biking trails that seem to go forever along creeks and through tree-ed areas with surprising wildlife such as wood ducks. This trip had the added bonus of a few valentine treats provided by the hosts. A very nice touch! My 80 year old parents joined us on this trip and were able to get around the house with no problems. The hosts also make the garage available which is nice for loading/unloading. The hosts provide the right level of communication to let you know they are there for help and also respect your privacy. Overall another very nice stay and we will be back for another visit. Thanks again!
