We had a great time. House and property were clean and comfortable. Wish there was a regular coffee maker (Keurig was hard to use) and a coffee grinder.

This was a perfect oasis for our family to come back to after a long day of exploring in the National Parks. The backyard was amazing, with a beautiful pool, landscape, and shaded pavilions. The house was spacious and clean, and had everything we needed to enjoy a comfortable stay. the hosts were easy to communicate with and efficient with their responses. The little community has a nice grocery store, great authentic restaurants, and was a short drive to Fresno. We would absolutely stay here again!

The house was very clean and spacious. I think the front area could be more appealing but overall very good house. I loved that they give u the option to park in the garage also. Backyard patio and pool area are nice as well. Maybe a pump or something to blow up the rafts and air up basketballs😃The communication was spot on. Very responsive. Would definitely stay again maybe price might be a little lower hahaha. Thanks for hosting us!!!!

Beautiful

This property is amazing! Host was very accommodating. We were in town for a family reunion so we had a large group and it was never a problem. It was a great place to end the day of festivities and relax. Beds are comfy Backyard is beautiful and kitchen is loaded with things you may need. The coffee maker is only one cup at a time so not great for larger groups but nothing a little patience can't fix. We would love to stay again in the future.

Gathering

The property is wonderful. They are putting in a fence, so the front did not do the house and the backyard paradise justice. It was perfect and had everything we needed, from pool towels, to can openers. Very clean and they have very comfortable mattresses. The backyard was a retreat, everyone was together but enjoying a variety of moments. Horseshoes, pool, lounge chairs around a fire pit, it was like being in a resort without the resort prices. I would definitely stay again!
