We thoroughly enjoyed our stay last week. The property is so beautifully upgraded. Definitely need to keep the door closed at the top of the stairs to keep the cold air circulating on the upper floor during the hot days of summer. The lower level was like an ice box! The kitchen was so well stocked with all the things you could need -- I even took pictures of a few things that I now want to buy for our own home. The only kitchen item that I could not find was a basting brush, and I only looked because everything else was there in plentiful quantity -- a full spice rack, baking dishes, a colander, wine opener, plates, glasses, ZIPLOCS, we were so pleasantly surprised! Thank you for all your thoughtfulness there! Our kids loved the t-shirts too!
If you have a pet, beware that the yard is not completely fenced in. There are several holes in the chain link that the local deer (and two fawn) come through to eat in the neighbors yard. Neighbor also has several hummingbird feeders and in the mornings there are hundreds over there! We also had a close encounter with a skunk, but our pup escaped without getting sprayed. Owner did provide a gate at the bottom of the balcony stairs - thank you. We just took our pup on a lot of walks. Neighbors are lovely. We met a few, and everyone is very quiet and kind.
Only downside was the lack of mobile service (not owner's fault) and the lake levels which we knew to expect. How do you even prepare yourself for that. When the lake is full again, this property will truly have it all. Who needs mobile service when you're at the lake? Easy drive to Shasta Caverns, Whiskeytown, Mt Shasta, McCloud Falls, Castle Crags.... Little grocery store down the street had what we needed. Would definitely stay again!
