Best rental house I've stayed in by far!

My cousins have a "Cousin Reunion" every four years and we have been many different locations, though mostly on the East Coast. This "home" has been the best by by far. It has an unbelievably well stocked kitchen! Everything -- plenty of dinnerware, glasses and large cookware, to spices, cupboard storage space and containers/baggies for leftovers. The layout of the house allows everyone to get together in a central living room and right out the back door to a large pool. But you can also slip way to your own bedroom (or cottage) for some privacy.
The mattresses and bedding were very comfortable and luxurious with down comforters, etc. There are plenty of large bathroom and beach towels. All bath soaps and the laundry detergent were unscented, which I loved (I packed my own, but to my surprise I didn't need it.).
The large screen TV was great and we were able to hook our computer up to it each evening to view everyone's photo's of that day!
The house was located just outside Guerneville and close to many things to do. Woods, river, beach, winery's, parks, and downtown Guerneville. We took in many local attractions as well as just enjoying each others company,since this we only see each other every four years. There were enough of us to split up and go to different activities, and still enjoy the nice house. It was hard not to just hang out by the pool.
The yard was stock-full of flowers, herbs and fruit trees (apple, pear, peach). All of which we used on a daily basis. And oh my gosh, the blackberries! I thought I was back in WV, only they were much easier to get too along the fence row! The swiss chard was a great surprise!
If you are looking for a house that can be a home away from home, this is it!
P.S. The printer was a perfect touch for the last evening since we each could print our boarding passes!
