We wanted to write this very honest review about our stay in Views Galore. Alan and Stephanie are very nice, lovely people. You can tell they really enjoy meeting new people and sharing their home. There are pros and cons to this VRBO. The space is beautiful and cozy. With amazing views of the valley. It says it sleeps 9, but only has 3 spots to sit and eat inside. During the winter months that doesn't really suit 9. We would stand and eat so we didn't make a mess in the living room. That is written in the listing but you have to go through it very thouroughly to know this.
However, I wouldn't say it's completely private. They seemed quite aware of our coming and goings. You have to communicate with them to take the trash out. Which isn't a problem unless you want to be totally alone. They live in the house. They work daily, so every morning we were woken up very early when they got ready for work. The dogs were so cute, but would cry for hours when they left which left us pretty sleepless. Comically, its like living in Mom and Dad's beautifully finished basement.
Now, the ammenities were so nice. Probably some of the nicest I've seen in a VRBO. They have super soft comforters. Brand name bathroom products. Top tier coffee and tea bar. Even a smores kit. All the goodies for your dog if you bring them as well. AND the wild animals were a huge plus for us.
