Nice but Not Amazing...
This A-frame house near Idyllwild is nice enough but is not what I would call 5 stars (having stayed at other 5 start VRBO properties). The house was large and clean, but did need some work (e.g., chipping paint). In addition, there were no special "things" that pushed it to that Excellent rating; e.g., a welcome note, etc. Also, one should be aware of 3 VERY important things not mentioned in the listing. One, to get from the driveway to the stairs shown in the photo is a steep, dirt/stone path. This was so hard for my elderly mother-in-law that, once she was able to make it into the house, she LITERALLY never left for 4 days!Two, there is only a single TV in the entire property in the "main" bedroom. It is small but does work. However, if everyone wants to watch a movie or the like, be prepared to move it and set it up in the living room.Three, if you want to use the wood-burning fireplace, be certain to bring your own wood, starters, etc. Nothing is provided!So, overall, the property was nice enough, but I would struggle to call it excellent. I think Good is the appropriate rating for this property.
