Healdsburg Escape Free Wine Tasting Close to Plaza

It was great!

I rarely write reviews, but I feel this one is necessary, as property owners need to be more honest and transparent in their listings.Our winter stay at this Healdsburg rental was disappointing. While the owner did partially refund the cleaning fee, the home fell short in safety, cleanliness, and readiness.The most serious issue was an unlocked door in the main hallway that led directly to the attic, creating a significant safety hazard. We traveled with a toddler and had to modify the space ourselves to prevent an accident.Check-in was also problematic. We arrived well after check-in time, yet the cleaner was still there, and the house was not fully turned over. We had to finish dishes and laundry ourselves, suggesting back-to-back bookings without proper preparation.Several amenities were unusable or misleading: the upstairs TV barely functioned, the refrigerator ice dispenser was broken, the hot tub was suddenly unavailable, and we were told not to use the fireplace despite it being prominently pictured (with the restriction buried at the end of the listing).The house was poorly stocked (insufficient towels, mismatched dishes, half-used paper products), trash was already piled up, and outdoor cushions were left in the rain. The home was very cold on arrival and struggled to stay warm throughout our stay.Overall, we spent too much time cleaning and troubleshooting instead of relaxing. I would not recommend this property during winter months.

Our stay was great - the house was beautiful and clean and it was near to wineries and town. The check-in instructions came with offers from local wineries which we enjoyed. We had some minor issues around not being able to get in early as agreed and the heat being off for a while but Daniel was very responsive and we were able to sort things out. Also, the hot tub wasn't working and that was not disclosed when we rented the property. I would stay here again.

There were 9 of us celebrating a 60th birthday. Very accommodating. Beautiful location. Backyard is lovely and peaceful. We went to Mazzocco up the street the first night for a quick tasting, then a limo picked us up the next morning for the rest of our wine tasting. Big table in the dining for us all to play games. Kitchen is well-appointed with a Keurig and sugar and splenda and even flavored syrups. Bedrooms were cozy and plenty of blankets. The listing does not mention a jacuzzi, so we were surprised to find that. Thank you so much Daniel for the great communication and we look forward to visiting again soon.

Stayed here for almost two weeks while we had construction on our own home and this really felt like a home away from home. Excellent amenities, property and home. Comfortable stay and great communication with the owners. Close by to downtown Healdsburg. Would highly recommend!

Impeccably furnished home with 4 roomy bedrooms. Everything very clean in a lovely rural setting that was still very close to town. Plenty of parking onsite. I wished it was a better place to go for walks (it’s on a 2 lane without wide shoulders) but that’s a “me” thing, nothing wrong with the property.

My family (me, husband, and two daughters - ages 3 and 5) stayed here with my brother, his wife, and their 4 month old. The location was so convenient and very close to tons of wineries, tasting rooms and restaurants in Healdsburg, and Lake Sonoma. The house had everything we needed. Bedrooms were very large. The property was fun for my kids to explore. Check-in and check-out was a breeze and the host was available to us if we needed anything. We would love to come back to the area again and would love to stay here if we do.

This lovely home was very comfortable and spacious for the 7 of us in the group. We enjoyed the secluded location, yet close to town. The bedrooms were very comfortable and plenty of space inside and out for socializing. I highly recommend this property for your group visit to the area.

Great place for a group.

Our family including 8 adults, a 3 year old and an 15 month old stayed for 2 nights to attend a wedding at The Ranch at Lake Sonoma. It was perfect for our family. Large tables inside and out, a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of parking. Our little ones loved running in a circle from living room, kitchen, dining room. Beds were very comfortable. Would stay here again.
