Every day we viewed out the patio, deer, fox, wild turkey, coyote & verity’s of birds. The jacuzzi made for a nice soak after hiking to the various waterfalls in the area. Our host, Diana went above and beyond to bring my wife a hair dryer so she could do her hair nice for her b-day dinner at Ducey’s on the lake. This was a great trip as we had never been to bass lake and would love to return next year. ##### Eric w. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda A.

Deck and grill brand new, so relaxing for morning coffee and evening views. Star gazing from the hottub was stunning! Peaceful neighborhood, minutes from boat rental, beach and food on Bass Lake.

Jul 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very cozy home nestled in the mountains with beautiful views The owner of this rental was very accommodating. She checked in a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. The hot tub, fire pit, quietness was exactly what we needed. It offered more than we were expecting. TV with wifi In all the rooms, a basement with a poker table, bar, stereo and tons of board games. The kitchen had all of the items we needed to cook. And the coffee and creamer selection was a plus. We wished we could've stayed longer. Would book again. Short drive to bass lake and Miller's landing. ##### Jennifer L.

Details have been thought out. The backyard is peaceful and from the deck you only see trees. The hot tub was nice and the kitchen and bath are in excellent condition and style. Large driveway. The twin bed quality is ok for kids. Some local tips and house instructions could be added, like where to get groceries when the lake is a zoo on July 4th weekend with no parking! (North Fork works.) Bass Lake is very close including the boat launch. Miller's landing sells the lake permit, gas and good ice cream. We ate lunch at Marina Bar and Grill and loved the food and the dock scene. We'd come again on a non-holiday weekend. Great trip overall! ##### Marilee S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerie L M., Guadalupe Aug 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### More than Expected House was super cute, warm and cozy. When first walking in the door, as a family felt like we were "home" The house was fully stock with the essentials and even a little more. The basement game room/ extra room was perfect for my young adults 20yrs & 19yr to make their "den" in. There is a really cute poker table, chips and cards. There were plenty of towels, hand towels and wash cloths. Soap for your body, hands and hair too. The Bathroom was the cutest and the shower room was awesome. The Queen bed is a comfy Beautyrest with and adj base that raises your head. (Being in the Mattress industry for a number of yrs I was very very impressed and comfortable!) The Twins are an all foam bed in the box style mattress. My Mother in Law was very comfortable on them. They are not too soft or firm. The queen is a nice medium feel. The Hot Tub was such a delight to enjoy especially in the Morning with my Coffee. Oh, the coffee selection was amazing and the options for cream were wonderful. (Not knowing we did bring our own. We do consume a lot of coffee so it was a great idea we did) We watched the covey's of Quail, Wild Turkey and the many Blue Jays. In the Evenings, we enjoyed watching the Deer with their baby's graze and wander. The drive to the Lake is only a few mins ( 5-10 mins) depending on where you are going. We enjoyed taking a nice drive around the whole lake that took a while longer of course. Diane was more than communicative and helpful with all questions. Even accommodating us for one extra day since we were enjoying so very much. We have never done a Vacation rental home before, this was our first time. The home and Diane exceeded our expectations making it a wonderful experience. We will defiantly be back! ##### Kerie L M. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anton K.
