Be careful.
I had left the bathroom door open the first day and night. On the second day, I closed it from the bedroom side, and it locked. This was completely a mechanical problem, and nothing I did. I reported it the next morning to management, and they sent someone out late that afternoon. I was told there was a button under the handle. Yes, but on the inside of the bathroom. I had no way to get into the bathroom for a full night and the next morning! When I asked for a refund for just the one day, I was told I would not get one as this had not happened before, which to me implied it was my fault. Other things were minor. No glasses for water or wine, just mugs. Sugar still in the box, down to the bottom, with clumps in it. No drinking water except from the bathroom sink..a bottle of water for guests would be thoughtful. And some difficulty getting in. Some more detailed directions on that would be helpful. On the plus side, the place is beautiful and was very clean. But I had a very bad experience staying there, and would warn people to think twice about renting it.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we appreciate your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the inconvenience you faced with the bathroom door. We did send someone to assist promptly, and we're glad we could resolve the issue for you. However, we would like to clarify that the button to unlock the door is typically on the inside, as a safety measure. Regarding the kitchen, we do provide some kitchenette essentials as stated in our listing- "The kitchenette is often stocked with some organic snacks and treats for guests. Please note there is not a full kitchen though there is a small refrigerator, microwave along with some dishes and silverware." We're pleased to hear that you found the place beautiful and clean. Our confidence in the quality of our home for guests is reinforced by the positive feedback highlighted in our other reviews. We believe these reviews truly capture the essence of the wonderful experience our property provides.

The property was very clean and quiet. I really enjoyed my stay! I just wish that there was a light near the door of the rental. I had trouble keying in the passcode in the dark and had to buy a flashlight.

Hi Laura, We appreciate your review and happy to hear you found the location clean and quiet. There are two outdoor lights right next to the front door, had we known you had any difficulty we would have gladly sent someone out to verify.

Dusty, I mean everything was dusty
Beautiful area. The unit was so dusty. We took the blankets to get washed in order to sleep. Manger offered to clean BUT who wants workers in the unit once you moved in. The cleaning fee should be refunded

Susan, this review is very surprising. You requested a refund of cleaning fees and said if we agreed you would extend your stay. When we asked to evaluate the home you declined. Its very hard to assist and instead be given ultimatums for refunds based on feedback that was not an issue to begin with.

Nice location and very quiet. The review would have been a 5 except there were a few very fixable things that were not great such as the pillows and bedding (a duvet with a washable cover would have been much nicer and more sanitary) and the water pressure varied a lot.

Ronald, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We wish you had reached out during your stay as our pillows do have covers and the bedding is washed between each guests stay. We are happy to know you found the location nice and very quite. We will also check into the water pressure you mentioned and this is the first we've heard of that.

My beastie and I stayed here for a five night getaway. The neighborhood was delightful, the river was close, easy walk, and clean. The studio did have 2 beach chairs, no beach towels however 😢 The studio only had a bathroom sink, no kitchen sink, yuck. Also, knowing the refrigerator size beforehand would have helpful before our stop at trader Joe's. All in all cute place, but wouldn't stay there again, lots of choices in the area and price range.

Hi Lisa, we are pleased to hear you found the neighborhood delightful and a close easy walk to the river. We are also happy to hear you found the property clean, we strive to make sure this happens. We do disclose the kitchenette area and also have pictures to show the size of the mini-fridge, we apologize this was missed.

3 Year Old Grandson Birthday Visit
Enjoyed to location, the quietness, and the property. Very easy to get from this location to all our family gatherings. Slept very well and enjoyed morning coffee on the deck each morning. Made use of the near-by trails a couple times. There were couple of small maintenance issues I would advocate doing before your next guests: 1.) Shower door handle needs to tightened with phillips screwdriver, 2.) Stool has very slow leak which makes it run periodically. Just needs to new flushing valve in the tank to fix (5 minute fix), 3.) Lights are not functional going down the stairs to access the outside door (probably just replacement light bulbs). These issues are minor maintenance and did not detract from our stay.

Beautiful Location, Quiet and Safe
The unbeatable location is the reason to stay at this property nestled in a lovely neighborhood with big trees and easy access to amazing hiking trails. It’s close to Historic Willamette with charming restaurants and plenty of outdoor seating. The unit is built over the garage and has a private patio that was nice for a glass of wine or cup of coffee. This is a good location for a shorter stay, as it does not have a kitchen sink and the fridge is fairly small. But you cannot beat the location and quiet charm. There is also a dedicated, large parking space that we appreciated very much! We would definitely stay again.

Mapleton property.
We love the location and the room itself. It’s just perfect for us 3 miles from where our children live. TV was not working at times. There were several toads in the water fountain. They were very loud at times but did not prevent us from sleeping. We suggest adding a blind on the door to the deck. Annette Bonnart.

Perfect getaway for 2
I give this property 6 stars!! The studio, surroundings, and views were stunning. The host went above and beyond in accommodating us and provided a safe and clean environment. We enjoyed total privacy, peaceful quiet, and felt completely relaxed and at home in this space. I just wish our 2 night stay could have been longer! We would love to return again someday.
