We stayed at this 40-acre double-wide mobile home for a month with our two little kids and had a great time!
Check-in was easy and there is plenty of parking. The creek runs right by the yard which adds a lovely sound and ambiance. There were a few things that weren’t quite ready for us upon arrival (toaster and Roku) but Christopher took care of these quickly which was much appreciated. There are nice views of the surrounding hills/mountains from every angle.
The wifi is great and worked well enough for video meetings all over the house which was a welcome surprise for such a remote spot. We did not get very good cell reception even with Verizon.
We had a hot week while here and unfortunately the A/C did not work. Our hosts did their best ti make us comfortable, bringing fans and trying to get a new one installed ASAP, but it took over a week to get the new one in. Certainly unfortunate for those hot few uncomfortable days but I’d like to call out the hosts for being very attentive and doing their best in a tough situation.
The yard was great for playing with the kiddos. Note that there are other folks living on this property up the hill and some gardens around, so it’s not free reign over 40 acres (which is called out in the listing I believe but a helpful reminder).
The beds were comfortable and nice bunk room provided space for kiddos to sleep. There are several living spaces which is nice for keeping play areas separate.
Only other thing to note is that there aren’t walking paths anywhere, at least that we found. The driveway is long and you can walk along the curvy mountain road at your own risk (no shoulder).
The main reason for knocking a star, in addition to the minor things mentioned above, is the mouse problem at this house. Maybe not an issue for shorter stays but we stayed for a month and fought against the mice all month long. It didn’t matter where we put food, they get in all the cupboards, although the corner glass cupboard seemed the safest. Mouse poop accumulates all over the countertops and in drawers/cupboards. If the hosts took a few more intentional steps to eliminate the mice or keep them at bay this would be a 5-star stay for sure.
Thanks again for the great stay Gary/Christopher!
