Beautiful Property, on of our favorite locations, almost perfect!
Beautiful property and overall very clean. We did have a little problem entering because the door lock tumbler was just spinning. Also a couple of the windows would not close. Avantstay was great and sent out a great guy to show me how to deal with the door and help me close the windows that were broken. I said that worked for us and they could fix them after we left. The classic sofas and pillows in the living room looked great but we were more comfortable in the upstairs family room.

Dated
Great location. Property is quite dated. It was clean and comfortable other than the smoke from the Caldor fire. Not sure we would stay here again without a significant upgrade to the property.
