Had a wonderful week of vacation at The Resting Place. Very comfortable and clean main house and carriage house, on a beautifully landscaped property. All amenities as expected and the heated pool was a favorite too! And just a block from downtown. I highly recommend it.

Very clean and beautiful home. We felt very comfortable here. They did have blinds on the windows, as I read in prior reviews that they didn’t. Everything was perfect except one thing. The pool heater was not working. So the pool was too cold for us to use, which was essentially why we wanted to rent this house was for our child to use the pool. So that was a big bummer. It ended up being fixed the night before we left. I wish we were told that prior to coming. But other than that, everything else was great!

Wasn't sure what to expect as there were no reviews when we first booked this rental and there were no pictures of the pool or garden in summertime. It turned out to be a wonderful choice and we will definitely return. There are so many positive things to say about it - great location, wonderful reno to the house (great lighting, decor and very well stocked with high end amenities), one of the best stocked kitchens we've ever rented, amazing hot water capacity, lots of space for family/friends to spread out. We loved the brightness and contemporary elements of the house but yet stays true to the farmhouse feel with wide plank floors etc. The fenced yard area is wonderful and pool is small but perfect. Areas for improvement... there were only two chaise lounges in pool area and only two pool towels. Would add at least two more of each or be sure to bring your own. Also, the garden is a bit overgrown. This wasn't a negative to us as we found it charming but it may not be suitable to all people as leaves etc fall into the pool. We were sad to have to leave and cannot wait to return.

Clean, airy, comfortable home with a heated pool, just steps from “downtown” Douglas. We’d definitely come again.

It really was a wonderful home and beautiful location. But be warned - if you anything comes up at the rental (which happens as we all know) you will be hard pressed to find anyone to speak to. Be prepared to wait on the phone an hour or more and hope for a call back before the end of the day. The stove broke, the pool needed cleaning, the power went out, the fridge was leaking water all over the floor and the sumo pump alarm was going off and in each instance it was very difficult to get a hold of anyone. Ultimately we left early after spending a day and half with no power and no help from the management company. We will never rent through Vacasa again.
Manager response:
We are happy to hear you enjoyed both the property & location, but are disappointed with your negative experience related to contacting customer service. Due to the the pandemic and attempting to service all of our guests safely, there is a higher than normal call volume which can result in longer wait times. With that said, there was an issue with the stove that required a contractor and it was resolved within an hour of receiving the call. As you know, all other issues were related to a power outage after severe storms ravaged the area, unfortunately the timing of the power coming back on is out of our control. We did send someone out to silence the alarm and clean up water leaking from the fridge due to the lack of power right away, but did have to wait for the power company to repair the lines. I do apologize that you had to deal with this unfortunate situation and hope you will allow us the opportunity to make up for it in the future.
