We also recommend using our camp chairs to enjoy our private beach on Tillie Creek. sitting in the creek - on boulders or the chairs - is a delightful, mesmerizing treat as the waters flow by. If you love connecting with the past, be sure to visit our ancient grindstone, left behind by indigenous tribes (located in SE corner of the property, beyond the fenced area). Families carved pits into the boulder that were used to grind acorns, which was used to make gruel and fry bread. For thousands of years, the Tubatulabal tribes migrated here to this location every winter and returned to the cooler mountains in summer. (Their petroglyphs are visible at various locations, and their descendants still live here to this day.) We are honored to have this beautiful artifact at El Escondite for you to experience for yourself. The outdoor table and porch benches are exclusive to the Casita. You are welcome to use the firepit, gather kindling, access the solar water purification system and explore the entire property. Tillie Creek runs through the back of the property and is where deer and other critters pass through. (The creek runs seasonally but is expected to flow into the summer months.) Other things to note El Escondite's grounds offer lots of space and privacy. The hosts are usually around. If you need anything, please let us know. Although you’ll mostly have the whole backyard to yourself, we will soon have an additional glamping tent in the back of the property by Tillie Creek. A telescope is provided for your enjoyment. It may have been a while since you've been able to see so many stars! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen -

May 1, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### TERRIBLE Greedy Host! Host double books through Another booking site I reserved this property weeks ago, telling the host I would be there with my 2yo son. Day of arrival there is no communication from host, I message before check in time for information on how to check in. No reply. My son and I arrive a bit after 7pm and go to the grocery store for food and to call host for check in instructions. Host ignores my call at first, then calls me back 5 minutes later. Host asks why I'm calling, I explain I need check in instructions, host confused asks me if I'm sure... I tell host yes today is the day of our arrival and we are ready to go to the home. Host then apologizes and says another family is already checked in. At this point I realize any argument is futile, host does not care about our predicament. I ask host to cancel the reservation and begin the refund process. Host has the audacity to message after they cancel, after 8pm now, and state "the reservation is canceled and you should be able to book another vrbo". So after 8pm on a Fri night in a very small town and the host somehow thinks I'd be able to secure another vrbo. Hotel rooms were all booked, so my 2yo son and I stay in a very sub par motel, only rooms I could find, only other option was driving a couple hours to nearest town. Oh and vrbo says it could take 15 business days for me to receive my refund! Terrible host, terrible polices on vrbo, terrible experience. ##### Robb C.
