We recently stayed in July 2022 for a small family get together. Our experience was positive, and I would consider coming back in the future for a second stay.
Sherwin was very responsive and quick to offer support when needed.
We thought the location was great - only about a 3 minute drive down the hill to grocery, restaurants, etc. I had no issue going up and down as needed to pick things up. You definitely need a car though, and should be comfortable driving on narrow roads. There is one really sharp corner that we thought was fun but if you don't like driving may not agree...
The views were amazing. Beautiful sunsets over the valley every night. Purple and pink skies... Weather was hot during our stay but cooled off in the late afternoon. Most notable was an amazing breeze that seemed ever present and came right through the house making the air fresh at all times and keeping us from using the AC.
The backyard was the highlight, and we spent most of our time there. Bring sunscreen as shade is limited. Pool was great, nice and refreshing for the summer. Hot tub heats up super fast so you only need to turn on just before using.
The floorplan makes the house seem bigger than it is, and the doors to all but one bedroom offered good sound isolation. It is really like a 4 bedroom house, with a den adjacent to the kitchen that has been converted to serve as the 5th bedroom. Fine to fit in bigger groups but be aware that room isn't very private.
As a bonus, there is a mature lemon tree with an endless supply of fruit. Also there are black walnut trees but not quite ready for picking in mid summer.
