We spent 3 nights for Christmas. Rainy most of the time. It was a fabulous place to be cooped up in. Stunning architectural masterpiece. The place was spotless. Beds were comfy. We would absolutely rent it again.

We enjoyed our stay overall and appreciated that the property was clean, comfortable, and well-located. When we first arrived, we experienced a few maintenance issues with the electricity, but the team handled them promptly and everything was resolved in a timely manner. Our only feedback would be that the communication felt a bit rushed when we first reached out, but in the end, everything was taken care of and we appreciated the quick follow-up.

Property is a bit dated, but it the best way. You are stepping back in time to highly innovative mid century architectural style. Home is huge, very clean and the kitchen has modern appliance making for a great stay. If our plans bring us back to the area, I will be seeking this place out.

This property has so much potential! I'm sad to say this was the worst stay ever though! there was a horrible smell, decomposing rodent or something, it was so bad one of our party was sick from the smell and had to stay elsewhere! When we contacted the host, she confirmed that she was aware but thought the smell had dissipated ! one restroom had no toilet paper and the others had a tiny bit...we contacted host, and she said she would send some over...we finally had to go buy some, then finally the morning we checked out at 7:30 am instacart brought some! The place was dusty, spiderwebs, toenail clippings in the bathroom, hair on the linens, and dirty carpet...The host did refund the cleaning fee... this property is wayyy to expensive for what it is at this time!
Dirty windows distracts from the beautiful views
Stained linens, need update on a lot of things
Toenail clippings on bathroom counter
Stained rugs!!!

Unique house!

This unique property was very comfortable, peaceful and relaxing. Close to town yet surrounded by nature. Tons of space made it easy to spread out or to be together at the large dining table or the beautiful living room. I love this area and would stay here again!

Architectural treasure

Beautiful, well preserved 1960’s home. Lovely stay! Kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. Great quiet location at a walkable distance to town. Would love to know more about the architect and the building of the house through a write up available to the guests.
