We felt like home from the minute we arrived. Of all the rental homes we have stayed at over the past decade, this home by far exceeded all others. From a well-stocked kitchen of pantry items to pots and pans, we felt at home with no need to run to the store. We enjoyed home cooked meals with gorgeous outdoor views from the kitchen table, dining room table, and the patio table. The coffee (and tea) bar is wonderful like our own mini-Starbucks. There was plenty of seating inside and out for us to talk as a group or separate. The views of nature from within the home and around are beautiful. We enjoyed the specialty toiletries as we treated ourselves to mini spa days. This is a very nice home in a lovely area of Alpine (I took walks along a well-maintained neighborhood). The one mishap which the owner has taken efforts to prevent are the steps within the home. There are sensor lights to shine light on the steps as someone approaches. That said, my husband missed a stepped and tumbled from the bedroom into the bathroom in the middle of the night. This is when their first aid supplies (Band-Aids to Tylenol) came in handy. We left a light on in the bathroom thereafter and had no other issues. For people with mobility challenges, they should stay in either of the other two spacious bedrooms. Add in the easy check-in and check-out process, we absolutely loved the home and are making plans to return again and include renting the Cactus Bud on site.
