House of mountains and stars

CindyRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Fred’s house is spotless and easy to find. It’s about 15-20 minutes from wineries. We put a few groceries in his fridge. We relaxed in the upstairs den watching tv. Fred communicated well at all times. The neighborhood is upscale and close to restaurants and Costco. He sometimes has other renters so we shared the bathroom. Everyone was respectful of space and cleanliness 🙂. It was in the 90’s outside but his house was cool and comfortable! Definitely would recommend this lovely home! Thank you Fred, it was nice getting to know you.

Sunset Bungalow | King bed, Mountain View

PamelaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My boyfriend and I had a great weekend stay at Mary’s place. The bed was so comfy & big, the restroom was super clean and had many little amenities. My boyfriend said there should have been some for men too because of how much women products there was for us to use. 🤣 She has a huge TV which we enjoyed, there was everything listed on the description. The AC was super helpful since it was hot outside. Overall a great stay! I would highly recommend it if you are looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing.
