Herbie & Gilma were absolutely lovely to us, through & through. They gave us a key code for the lock box on the door so that we could arrive at leisure. We gave them an estimated time of arrival (5pm). We were almost two hours late, but they were great about it. Within an hour of our arrival, they came to kindly greet & welcome us. Throughout our stay, they were very responsive & we always felt like they were just a text message away. We would also run into them in passing, every day, which was great.

The studio is LARGE. There is a full-size refrigerator in the unit, as well as a 4-burner stove, microwave, big sink, full shower AND bath, two ceiling fans, separate tower fan, BIG closet with hangers, side tables, huge/comfy bed, coffee table, lounge chair, & a huge window, flat-screen television, etc. The studio felt like a luxury hotel room in a mountain resort. The view looking out from the unit showed a fence & beautiful treeline. While the windows & curtains wide open, we still had total privacy because of the location of the unit. The bed was so comfortable, too.

The unit did not have air conditioning, but we did not need it. When it got hot, we turned on the fans. We enjoyed the patio table/chairs right outside the unit. We regularly jumped into the AWESOME pool! The pool is large & deep with a diving board. The temperature of the pool was perfect, every day. We often lounged in the reclining pool chairs while the sun set. The view could not be beat.

We stayed in this unit with THREE cats for several weeks while we house-hunted. Our fur babies are incredibly domesticated, so staying in a one-room space with them was not difficult. They immediately took to our sleep schedule & we were all very comfortable. The bathroom was large enough to fit a litter box for the cats, as well, so we could not have planned it better. We rented the unit for a month, just in case the house-hunt took longer than anticipated. Fortunately, it only took two weeks, but we did not regret renting the unit for a month. It gave us some peace of mind. We ended up sleeping in the unit for two-&-a-half weeks. We just kept the unit empty while we worked on loading/unloading things into our new home. It was money well-spent.

Herbie & Gilma were great hosts. They were respectful, kind, & gracious. They were ideal hosts.
