Overall this was an excellent property with plenty of room, privacy, and parking. Deer spotting throughout the day and good stargazing at night. We rented this house as a base for Distillery Trail Weekend (Aug 8-11, 2024). Our party consisted of 7 adults, 2 cars.
Bedrooms were clean and spare. I used my rolling luggage as a nightstand and my phone flashlight to get around in the dark. Our bed was uncomfortable, and it felt like we were in danger of rolling off all night. Serviceable, but room for improvement.
The bathrooms were clean and well appointed with plenty of towels. En suite is larger and more handicap accessible than the other 2.
The kitchen is huge with plenty of counter space. The stove functions well, the vent functions ok. The oven is slow, use the fan + light to help get it lit. No crock pot present, but there is a kitchenaid 6qt stand mixer. If you are a cook, bring your knife kit and specialty items, maybe a good egg pan. No measuring spoons found. Could use more silverware and serving utensils. Full size fridge & freezer were great.
Sunroom was unusable; too hot and a strong plastic smell, maybe better in winter. The pool was perfect; very clean and great for hot days and warm nights. Plenty of towels and outdoor seating. 1 intertube. We couldn't find controls for outdoor lights, and couldn't add water.
Close to town and highways, Trader Joe's 10 minutes south in Templeton, Target too. 40 minutes to SLO costco. Would definitely rent this one again.
