Was very clean. Very dated. Needs a comfortable chair in the living room, couch not large enough for 3 adults. Bathroom very funky, the metal tub/shower was not easy to access. Overall it was adequate but not very comfortable.
We loved this sweet little house in Alpine, and the host was great (especially when I left our coats in the closet đ and they had to be mailed to us). Thank you for everything! We made some great memories!
My husband, son, & father in law stayed for a wedding this past weekend and it was a frustrating experience. The kitchen items were dirty, the ice trays were broken and âice binâ disgusting. I had to throw out broken glassware & gladware containers. There werenât extra sheets incase of needing to change bedsheets from general dust or debris from alpine life. Iâm from a dark sky community and I am fully aware of the out door lighting requirements.We arrived in pitch black conditions 4 of the 8 solar path lights were broken and porch light was useless. We all tripped multiple times trying to navigate the front porch until we could locate our flashlights. The neighbors on the right played loud music well past 1:00AM. We like music but itâs a challenge for getting a kid to bed. The washer/dryer situation is nice to have but you canât run it at night because it shakes the whole house and you have to separate all the dishes to keep them from breaking or rattling. Turned it on before bed and realized our mistake quickly; so we ran it while we were out. FYI beds are extra firm foam mattresses. Wonderful thoughtful touches for pups (we didnât bring ours). The last night we were there a big puddle of water gathered on the bathroom floor and we couldnât find the source. The house is cute and homey. We ended up washing just about all the dishes just to make sure someone did. Overall..meh frustrating experience. We had a great time with family; wonât stay here in the future.
One of the greatest advantages is that you can walk to many goods and services. On most days, I rode my bicycle west and at the edge of the city Wagon Road had views that could rival national parks.
We chose this property primarily because it was advertised as pet friendly. The house itself was charmingly rustic and overall acceptable (although the AC units could not cool it comfortably at night). The yard, however, was not at all pet friendly. About a third of the yard was sharp xeriscape rock chips, and the rest of the yard was infested with small goat head thorns. Our poor pup tiptoed painfully through the yard whenever he had to take care of business; then we had to pick thorns out of his paws after he limped back inside.
