I was looking by for a quiet place to get away for the 4th of July weekend with my toddler and two dogs, and this place was perfect! Nice, clean and quiet. The hot tub was nice too! I will say, if youâre bringing dogs like I did, bring a tether of some kind, itâs not a fenced in yard. I think thatâs fairly obvious from the pics but just an FYI, thereâs a road right above and also several kitties roaming around the neighboring properties, so I kept my dogs on a tether even though I was out there with them. Just a tip!
We stayed in town due to an Aevent in Wilseyville that my Husband and Daughter raced in. This home made everything more enjoyable especially with my energetic toddler.
Robâs place was comfy and what we needed for a family weekend getaway. I will say we didnât use the hot tub because it was filthy. Other then that, things were great!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Short walk to store and community garden and very friendly town folk. We spent time at the river and casino which aren't that far from the house. Thank you Robert for being readily available when I was having trouble with the thermostat! lol

Property was clean, as described, and had everything we needed! Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Three separate, equal-sized rooms for sleeping. The living area and kitchen were super-spacious. For the price, you really can't beat this place. The only "room for improvement" was that, while the house was spotless, the hot tub was not as clean. We added chlorine tabs, showered well before and after using, and didn't have any issues.
Things to know:
Hot tub is not pre-heated, make sure to turn on the switch in advance, so it's ready when you want to use it.
For kid activities, there's Murphy's Golf, horseback riding, Chaw'se Indian reservation, bowling, and various caverns to explore.
Hot tub is a two-person hot tub
The house was the perfect setup for what we needed so that each of our team members could have their own bedroom. The house was clean, and just as listed, plus communication with the owner was great! The guys said they would definitely stay again if we're ever back in this area for our off-road racing events.
We generally had a nice stay at the WestPoint house. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and spices. The living room space was nice as were the three bedrooms and beds. We also enjoyed being close to the snow but away from crowds.
Hereâs a few things that need improvement or might be good to know before you rent:
1. The front doorâs doorknob was broken. We used duct tape to fix it so we could go in and out through that door. It simply needs a new doorknob.
2. The bath has a crack and the sealant came off. We use duct tape to help make sure the water didnât cause damage under the house.
3. The house smells like smoke. There are several air fresheners but our clothes and things smell a bit like smoke and we had to air out the house and keep clove+vanilla water boiling on the stove the first night.
4. The hot tub was a wonderful place to soak and enjoy the starsâŠuntil I felt a slimey blob on the filter. Something needs to be fixed. That was gross.
5. There isnât a dining/kitchen table but there is a perfectly good card table and four folding chairs and that worked fine for us.
6. It was a little strange to see one or two cameras out front and one in the backyard. You can see the one in the backyard from the hot tub and thatâs a little creepy (though may be completely innocent).
Robâs home was perfect for our impromptu weekend getaway. There was plenty of room for our family and so nice to be able to bring our dog with us. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Check in and check out process was easy and simple. We also enjoyed the scenic drive to Kirkwood. Definitely would stay again the next time we head that way!
Had a great stay. The place was clean and the linen was as well. Fresh towels and laundry on site: the swimming hole up the road at the river crossing was excellent and the natural bridges in Calaveras county was magnificent. The only draw back to this place is it is a drive to get to things (which we expected) and the âhot tubâ is small. We didnât end up using it as it was to small to fit comfortably in.
The house was clean and as advertised. It was a quiet area away from it all but there is very little in the immediate area. Jackson and Sutter Creek are about a 1/2 hour drive so we spent a fair amount of time driving places.
