Charming Country House - Sleeps 10

Family gathered over the holidays at this lovely (inside and out) property. Host was super-responsive and made us feel very welcome. Took advantage of the sport court (when it wasn't raining) and played a lot of ping-pong in the barn. House and cottage well appointed with linens, cooking items, and everything else one could need. Enjoyed fruit from the lemon & lime trees. Would love to return to this fabulous property in the summer!

This is a lovely old house with lots of character but updated with some modern amenities. House was comfortable, clean, and in good working order. Lots of space to explore in the house and the property overall. We had a couple minor issues that came up (e.g., heater went off) during our stay but Katie the homeowner was very response, helpful, and pleasant to work with.

This was as wonderful a vacation rental as we have experienced. Four good-sized bedrooms with comfortable beds and good closets / storage. Living spaces are comfortable and sufficient for different family members doing different things. All bathrooms were very well-appointed. The kitchen is lovely, and has excellent appliances and tools. But the outside might be better. An excellent pool, warm and clean with generous seating and plenty of easy-to-use umbrellas. A grand deck for meals, or reading under the grapevines. And they're not kidding about a functioning garden - we took advantage of ripe tomatoes, herbs, strawberries and lemons while we were there. Oh, and the guest house is not just a throw-in; it's just as lovely as the main house. Examples of the little-but-thoughtful things include nightlights in the upstairs bathrooms and hallway, the SONOS and charging cables in the kitchen, decently sharp kitchen knives, among many others. The owners were extremely responsive and helpful. Some of our highlights include Muir Woods, Bodega Bay, farmers markets in Occidental and Sebastopol, restaurants in Sebastopol, Geyserville, Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Healdsburg, etc. It was certainly pricey for us, but it is clearly invested in making it a great place to stay.

We can’t speak highly enough about this wonderful home and property! There was something for us all—from a lovely, well-equipped kitchen where we cooked, to beautiful outdoor spaces where we relaxed, to a fantastic swimming pool where our youngest grandchildren made great strides in swimming, to gardens where we picked plums, lemons, and tomatoes, to a sport court where we attempted pickle ball— and more! We did some sightseeing in the area but absolutely loved all that this property had to offer. We had 10, including grandparents (we stayed in guest house) and two families with children from age 5-14. We had excellent communication with Katie. We’d go back in a heartbeat!

House and property were amazing. Description of everything was accurate. I think my kids ate every strawberry! Perfect house for large extended family- we had grandma and grandpa in their own private guest house! Afternoon pool was perfect for cooling off after hiking and exploring. Great house and location was perfect. Thanks so much for letting us enjoy your home!

We really enjoyed our stay. The home had everything and I mean everything. There were 9 of us with 3 kids under age 6 and it was a great size to give us all our own space. Fabulous pool. Great places to play. Bountiful garden. Location perfect for all the fun things we wanted to do from Bodega Bay to Sonoma. I highly recommend to anyone. It was the best experience from start to finish.

Our family had such a wonderful time here - we stayed for a week and it was a lovely setting to spend time together. We really enjoyed the beautiful gardens, fantastic kitchen, and great pool! Super charming, clean, and peaceful home and property! We hope to return!

I would recommend this property to anyone without reservation. The house is very comfortable, large and extremely well stocked; the grounds are impeccable; the pool is warm (solar panels!); the owner is great; and, there’s a totally separate guest house for anyone who wants to have a bit of privacy. I stayed there with my two young kids, husband, mom (who took the guest house and raved about it despite having very high standards) and had friends stay there as well for several nights (also with two kids). There was more than enough space. Beds were very comfortable. They had everything you could possibly need to cook, enjoy the pool, etc. (tons of appliances, condiments, towels, rafts..). Very family-friendly home overall, complete with board games and child mattresses. The kids loved picking strawberries right behind the house. We used fresh herbs from the garden as well. The outdoor space is definitely the highlight of the property and we loved using the pool and patio for meals and lounging. There were huge roses and lavender plants in bloom everywhere. We had a perfect week. If I had to come up with “negatives” (both very minor): a couple of rooms are slightly dated and it’s not really walking distance from anything. But again, highly, highly recommend. Thank you, Katie!

This was the perfect house for our group of eight friends to reconnect and use as a base to explore the wineries and other sites in the surrounding area. The property owners are helpful and friendly. The property is perfect for large groups. The kitchen is well-appointed and had everything we needed. We would definitely come back again.

Private, beautiful and secluded...this home was a perfect vacation spot for our friends. Large bedrooms, a well appointed kitchen with an amazing stove and a completely comfortable environment, we can’t wait to come back again!
