Very nice, Karen met us right away upon our arrival. The place was clean and everything worked. It was very quiet - we noticed the owners driving slooowly by our rental to avoid disturbing us. It is in a very peaceful and wooded neighborhood, and we felt safe not locking the doors. We totally would stay again.

Clean, Comfortable and Quiet

This was the perfect place for our 3 day getaway. The apartment was just as pictured and spotless. It had everything we needed and more. We loved the location. It was quiet and peaceful and close to nature paths and some great hiking and terrific restaurants. The hosts were friendly and personable and unobtrusive and were there if needed. We would gladly stay there again.

Nice getaway

I was attending a wedding in Saratoga Springs and it was the perfect location. The host was very responsive and the setting was wonderful. It was a beautiful location in the mountains. The only negative was there was a line of ants on the property near one of the beds that we had to avoid. They were not a major issue though.

Guest house

Comfortable room. A short drive to all the places and people we came to see. Since our dog is house broken and well behaved, we were allowed to leave her unattended a couple of times.

Excellent Guest Suite!

This guest suite was a fantastic place to stay! It is very light and feels spacious and clean. Beautiful, peaceful, safe neighborhood. Air conditioning works well which is very important in the summer as the unit is upstairs. Having the full kitchen was great and Humphrey the property manager is the best! Highly recommend staying here!

We love Blue Gum!

This was our second stay and we have booked our third stay. We and our dogs love the place! Feels like home away from home. The people on site (owner and others) are such lovely and fun people. That said, we have all the privacy we want, both inside and outside. Coffee on the patio is wonderful; quiet and lots of wildlife flitting about. Fits us perfect. Finally, we have extended our stay more than once and making those changes are so easy with Humphrey! Thank you.

We were sent a rental agreement for half the price posted and charged. Sofa broke our backs. Steep area for dog difficult to access. People were walking past our area for no reason. Not really well equipped kitchen. The stairs were 10 inches steep! Nice neighborhood but the promised street parking was taken by abandoned vehicles. Too pricey for the place.

Very nice - needs some work here and there but no deal breakers.

I read other reviews prior to actually arriving at this property. One described a "stair case" that was "steep" and without a "guard rail", a necessary evil to enter the accommodations situated over a garage. As I read the review, I developed a visage of a loft atop a garage with a steep flight of floating stairs, dangerously and picariously leading to a narrow door at the top, no hand rail along the way, the top barely leaving enough room for a mobile person to negotiate entry without falling, much less a disabled person to do so without risking peril. I envisioned a wheelchair tumbling off the steps only to unceremoniously discharge it's occupant onto a concrete driveway below, bloodied and battered... if not for the galant and diligent intervention of his dedicated care giver. Whew! Did they ever dodge a bullet!? SAID NOBODY EVER. Here is the actual scenario. The garage is built into a hillside. If you climb what amounts to a step-like retaining wall you will find yourself at the entry at the upper level at the back of the top of the garage. A small wall to the left of the "stairs" keeps you on course. I call them more terrain management assistance. Anyway, if you are schlepping somebody who can't do anything for themselves, don't go here. Seriously, read the description and look under, "Accessible". If it makes no claims. Don't book! Enter and find yourself looking into the main room with the kitchen to the left and the bathroom wall to your right. This place has a confusing combination of old and new. The "intercom" on the wall to the right is reminiscent of a 1975 home in Temecula. Same is true of the bizarre 12" rusted tub spout and jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. The kitchen boasts a granite countertop and full size refrigerator WITH a working ice maker! You'll find about 500 coffee filters and some decaf (really?) ersatz coffee but nothing ground or instant with caffeine... Anywhere. Unless you bring your own you'll spend your first morning schlepping to the Freeway interchange to score decent coffee. Here we have a paucity of places to raise your feet or to place a drink. At the couch you'll find a glass coffee table. I didn't dare put my feet up there for fear of breaking it. There was a small stool thingy nearby I commandeered for myself but my H was SOL. No surface next to the bed to keep a drink level either. It could be 5 stars with just a tad more thought. But I'd book again... Forearmed.

入住真实情况

1、房间里到外是蚂蚁，床上也有蚂蚁。2、道路陡峭，急转弯，开车到达不安全。3、空调制冷效果差。4、需要步行走楼梯，不方便行李箱移动。5、门锁简易，老旧，松动，不能锁定，我每次出门都要随身携带贵重物品。6、房东说差评会坐牢。总体感觉不舒服，房价偏贵，合同强制，不允许提前退房。

Very enjoyable and comfortable in a beautiful setting

This residence is a beautiful apartment above a garage setting on the grounds of a much bigger home in Saratoga. Very peaceful and scenic from apartment windows. Owners of home were very inviting but not at all disturbing. Bit of a sugar ant issue in kitchen but such is the area and took care of it. Really enjoyed this home away from home. Thank you very much

Undesirable property

Right off the bat the manager told us that the property gets overrun by ants. We were told that they have an infestation every year for three months out of the year, which we were within. We were required to follow a procedure regarding how we dealt with food. We were unable to even leave dog food down for our two little dogs. We found out by being inundated with ants all over the dogs food and water. Consequently we could not leave our dogs for a period of time with food and water because of the ants. So we had to always take our dogs with us. The owner of the property threatened us with calling the police on us if we complained to the manager, so we could not even express our frustration with the situation. The property was not what they reported it to be. We were highly disappointed and left 5 days early. He would not refund us any money. He is a liar and a thief!

Wonderful place for privacy and well behaved pups!

The property was well described; there were no surprises. We appreciated the dog friendliness, the private setting and, the privacy afforded us. Our interactions with property manager and briefly with owners was lovely. We have booked to go back.
