Beautiful Home with Beautiful Scenery

We loved the home layout which had spacious rooms! We had a great stay. Our only issue is we had an unwanted four legged friend that caused a little unwanted excitement for us. Vacasa got someone out to put out traps and we only saw it the first night of our stay. We loved the location, the hot tub was great, and Idyllwild was only about a 10 minute drive away. There was a convenience store at a gas station that was less than a mile away. Overall we had so much fun.

Beautiful Home and Fun Getaway

We had an amazing trip and the house was described accurately. We felt like we had plenty of room to spread out as a family of 6. The only downside was we were told to put all of our foods including pantry items into the fridge to avoid four legged critters. We ended up having a spotting of such critter despite keeping everything in the fridge. The managers were very responsive and set mouse traps up and we never saw the furry fellow again after our first night. Even with that sighting, we still really enjoyed ourselves and will go down as one of our favorite family vacations!
