"The rental exceeded all my expectations! I especially loved the quiet and secluded location of the cottage. The interiors are thoughtfully appointed and designed, providing a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. All the amenities I needed were available, including an ironing board, iron, fridge, and toaster.

8.2 out of 10, Very good, 35 reviews
"First let me say, we had a great time at this property. This is a small house in the city. Great location. We could walk to restaurants and play pickleball at the playground next store.

We really enjoyed ourselves & it was a quiet family neighborhood. It was near a lot of markets & not too far from napa for any wine tours folks wanna do. Would totally recommend. Only a few minor issues, pots & pans seem old or just not taken care of well so werent great for cooking. Beds were also very firm, so weren't comfy for most of us. The sofabed...

"We stayed for three nights in this lovely home. The landscaping is unbelievable and the pool, hot tub, outdoor facilities, really amazing. As a sidenote, you need to be aware that you’re truly sharing space with the owners by staying there, which was OK because she was lovely and informative. But if you’re looking for privacy, this may not be the best choice for you. Beautiful quaint house. Enjoy."

"The place was nice and clean. I was expecting my security deposit back and I did not receive it cause I was charged for some towels and bed sheet that was stained $225 dollars not fair! Even tho we fixed the broken handle on the stove and our door went bad since the fridge didn't keep our food cold enough. I did not want to complain cause I really they wasn't gonna play me with my deposit but that was very unfair all of that comes off in the wash I'm sure "
