Exceptional property. There is a significant stepdown from the small hall area into the primary of which to be watchful and the solar lights outside did not illuminate, so the deck stairs at night were a bit dangerous. Beyond that, everything about the property was exactly as described and represented in the photos, etc. It was a beautiful oasis for or family. Highly recommend.

Wonderful

I hesitate to describe how great this property is since if it becomes known there’ll be little chance of getting a booking. Nevertheless, of the dozen or more similar properties I’ve stayed in it is clearly the best. View! Design. Location. Amenities.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Magic Madrone. The location was perfect for us, 10 min from town nestled among the trees. Outside was magical, lots of paths, nooks and crannies and views to enjoy for everyone in my family. I especially appreciated and loved the outdoor shower. The house was a gem. So clean, well stocked with everything and the attention to details was captured throughout the home. Kitchen and bathrooms had everything you need and things you didn’t know you needed! Stayed here with my husband and 8 year old twins. We all want to come back

Beautiful retreat above the river

Magic Madrone was indeed magic. Very well-kept, appointed, and equipped. The hot tub overlooking the river was the best. The rest of the garden was terraced so thoughtfully. Whomever designed this house truly had a VISION. I'm grateful it's open to rentals for us vacation home dreamers. Thank you! Oh the managers were very communicative, and the directions around the house were clear and easy to understand. The kitchen had everything! So nice.

Privacy, peace and quiet.!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I will keep this short and sweet.! The place is definitely on top of the hill and the view did for sure deliver as promised.! The house was clean and cute and felt relaxing. Someone had a vision with this place when it was built and it all flows very very well.! Fun spot for sure.! As far as considerations for me would be (1) better beds as both beds were acceptable but I we all woke up a little stiff and felt like a high quality bed should be a priority for a rental. There was only one TV in the living room and it is the size of a large computer monitor which could have been bigger but we didn’t watch much TV so who cares really... lastly a regular coffee maker or Keurig machine would be nice. The property only had a French press and Bioletti ? (Spelling) which we were unfamiliar with so we just went to the local coffee shop which is amazing by the way. So better beds and coffee machine would be my critique here. Besides that I’m gonna say 15 outta 10 on staff and communication as well as location and the vibe of the house was so awesome!! We would definitely come back.. we just may bring a mattress topper and our own coffee maker haha..
