Awesome rental

This is just what iI was looking for for a getaway with my wife. This being only my second trip to California andy wifes first, it was swclude enough but still an easy drive to all the attractions that we wanted to see in our time here. We saw multiple black tail deer and quail in the yard. I would definitely stay here again.

Clean & quiet

The property is off the beaten track and quiet. Sitting on the deck was a delight. The home is cozy, without having tons of knick knacks in the way. Little extras like laundry detergent, plastic baggies, kitchen towels, etc. made us realize the hosts thought through the visit. Thank you so much for these type details.

Relaxing home away from home.

Very clean and well-kept property. The last stretch of road was really rough with holes, but we made it with our van in low gear. We had everything we needed, down to nightlights in the bedrooms for kids. We appreciated the toiletries, towels, equipped kitchen, and general layout of the home. We loved to see all of the calming art on the walls. The bathroom art was quite appropriate for the location. Ha ha! The views from all the windows were beautiful and the trees were so comforting. We were able to have several encounters with the deer that were grabbing a snack in the grassy area nearby. The couch was so comfy and the perfect spot to curl up with a book as the rain came down outside. Our 11-year-old said that the window area to the left of the TV was “so aesthetic.” We had one issue and that was trying to close the front door and lock it for the first time. The bolt wasn’t lining up right. My husband had to pull up on the door itself to make the bolt go in the slot in the door frame. We had to do that every time we left. The property was kid friendly and so relaxing. We would love to stay again.

Nice quiet location near the Northern California coast

We had a lovely time. We used grill and the kitchen. We loved having 3 tables for eating and games. The kitchen was nice but don’t count on seasonings and there are some missing items like a mixer…could use more flatware too. Was clean but spots on carpet. But that is nitpicking.

College visit

The property was perfect for our family of 6. It was fun to explore and the grill and outside seating were delightful in the evenings to sit out and stare at the stars and relax after a busy day. Came to visit our daughter in college and staying up in the tree's made it feel like a relaxing get away. Far enough away but close enough to everything we wanted to do and see. I would love to see the kitchen stocked with more condiments and spices, aside from that we were able to home cook some meals for our girl. Since there are 5 girls in our fam, maybe a few full length mirrors in each room would be nice for "getting ready." Loved it here, comfy, clean, plenty of bedding and towels and everything we needed.

The location is wonder. The house is nice, but the house does not have air conditioning and due to the heatwave during our stay, even with available fans, the house became increasingly uncomfortable. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves.

Falcon Perch Feedback

We enjoyed the quiet and cool of the property. It was inadequately furnished: needed more silverware and cups; more of a variety of cooking utensils; dish towels and cloths; basic cleaning supplies; 1 or 2 boxes of tissue; a plunger (just in case); games to play; disclosure of no air conditioning; and a warning about the big rig construction vehicles on very rough narrow roads.

Better Than Advertised.

Property is even better than advertised. Comfortable and lovely home and scenic property. A great escape. Communicative and response host made for easy check-in/out. Highly recommend. Worked perfectly for our Redwoods trip, wish we could have stayed longer. P.S. Majestic wildlife was a major perk. Property is aptly titled.

stay at Falcon Perch

The property was not as large as expected from the photo. The accommodations were sufficient for our small group, a family with 2 adults and 2 children as well as 2 grandparents. The only negatives were that the king-sized bed mattress needs replaced. I, as one of the grandparents, had terrible backaches every morning and sometimes had a hard time sleeping because the mattress was terrible. Pillowcases were too small for the pillows, several inches sticking out uncovered. Otherwise, my son, who is very tall, noticed that in the hall bathroom, the top of the shower door was not very clean. Also. toilet brush in master bedroom needs replaced. Hence, my 3 stars for cleanliness. We were satisfied with everything else.
