The Wildflower - Family Friendly Home

Very clean and comfortable

Oh so many reasons to stay away from this property. We were guaranteed excellent internet connection. The internet went out twice. We had to leave early as not only my grandson was disappointed, but we could watch no TV at all. The owner refused to give us even a partial payment, despite the fact it mentions in the details to this house that "there is strong Wi- Fi, so you can watch movies or work." The host was dismissive and said it was our of her control, yet the provider offers the Wi-Fi customer a refund if the outage is prolonged. VRBO did refund me some of the money, Second, this property is too far from Julian and has very little outdoor living space. A bit of a drive to town, with no nearby walking trails. So you are rather captured here. The 2 decks were littered with leaves and debris and hadn't been cleaned for weeks. Next, the staircase leading to the majority of the bedrooms was steep and made me nervous for my safety as well as the safety of my 8 year old grandson. Also heating and cooling is a issue. There is no forced air, only a wall heater downstairs. Finally, the kitchen was only minimally equipped. There was no toaster oven, so you would have to use the main oven to heat pizza, but there were no cookie sheets so that was difficult. No kitchen foil, plastic wrap or baking paper. Bring your own salt and pepper, fresh oil and any condiments. No carrot scraper. Finally, the trash can cupboard was very grimy and in need of a good scrub. Won't be coming back.

Cozy and comfy place in a wooded area. The neighborhood was very quiet and close to town. Communication was great and the EV charger was very much appreciated. The only thing missing that would have made this a 5 star rating is simple amenities like salt and pepper in the kitchen and bath soap/shampoo in the bathrooms. Most VRBOs I have stayed at have these items so it wasn’t something I had planned on packing.

Very quiet . Enjoyable stay. Manager responded within minutes. It’s was a very peaceful stay . The home is very cozy and clean . I would recommend this home .

The house was great for young kids and the owners clearly care about the people staying there (even giving instructions how to use specific appliances). Our 6 year old would have stayed in the reading nook of their room with all the books available if we had let her. We also enjoyed the hammock, with the dappled light coming through the trees. A great getaway location!Owners were very helpful in suggesting places to go apple picking!The only thing to be aware of is that the short road to the house is gravel and the garage was just able to fit our minivan. It was very comfortable for our young family of 6!
