This place is unique, splashy, wild, flashy, fun...funky is a great description! The House was immaculately clean. We cooked very little, but the kitchen had what we needed. The coffee, complete with brewing instructions to make the perfect cup, was so good. The living room couches were comfy (but low, something to note if you have difficulty rising) and we watched our own shows on the smart TV. The bedroom (accessed by a hidden door) had a wonderfully comfy bed and electric/USB outlets on each bedside table. The double shower with rainshower heads had a good temperature range. We used the spa daily. It took about an hour to heat to a perfect temperature for soaking. We did not use the pool. The location is close to great restaurants. Meghan and Viktor were available to answer any questions. We look forward to our next visit!

We loved our stay at Meghan’s! The location was easily accessible and centrally located relative to all of the activities we had planned. Our host communicated promptly and was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the onsite parking and private entrance as well. This made it feel like our own private little getaway. The place itself is beautiful with so much attention paid to all of the decorative touches. The pictures don’t do it justice. You really need to see it in person to truly appreciate it. The outdoor patio and spa/pool were very relaxing as well. The bed was comfy and the living room was great for relaxing, reading and watching a movie after a long day of exploring. We would definitely come back again!

We had a great stay! The house was exactly as advertised- clean, comfortable, and well set up. The hosts were very responsive and easy to communicate with, which made everything smooth from check-in to check-out. Overall, the whole experience was simple and stress-free. We’d happily stay here again and would recommend it to others.

This is my favorite spot- the decor is so much fun with tons of little surprises yet very functional, private and convenient. Meghan was very responsive and made sure our stay was going well. This spot truly is a surprise gem.

This rental is gorgeous and such a fun place to stay. Every detail was perfect--down to the retro-style embossed labels that made everything easy to find. We also really enjoyed the location. We enjoyed walking the mutt at the nearby Tahquitz Creek Trail and picking up bagels at Townie Bagel, both of which were just around the corner. Meghan and Viktor were super responsive and so considerate. We can't wait to come back!
