The home is clean and well equipped. The kitchen was perfect for our family, who love to cook. There were games, both indoor and outdoor, that were enjoyed by all. The listing said sleeping for 10; there were 7 of us and it slept 6 comfortably. There are bunk beds in one room that we did not feel were sturdy enough for two children; one of the sofa beds was uncomfortable. One bedroom was too hot to use. There was a window mount air conditioner in the family room but it could not cool all of the bedrooms, in spite of our best efforts. There were two small fans to circulate air, but only one was working. There was plenty of space for sleeping bags, which we brought for the kids. Please note we were there during the heat wave; it would not have been an issue had it not been hot. The location is perfect - between Calaveras Big Trees and Lake Alpine, and easy to get everywhere. The kids loved the HOA pool and activity center, which we have used in the past. However there was not a house guide giving instructions or directions to anything. Some of the amenities were not used because we didn't know how to operate them. Trash needs to be brought out to a nearby collection site, but there were no directions as to how to get there. Prior to check in, the owners were responsive and pleasant. We chose not to contact them while we were there regarding these issues as it is, overall, a beautiful home in a perfect location. We would definitely return.
