Strolled through vineyards, attended tastings, and enjoyed a perfect view.
The home was very nice and accommodated our group wonderfully. We had one small complaint right at the beginning and the property management company took care of it immediately and the rest of our trip was perfect! I would return to this property without hesitation. Very private and beautiful!
A great find! Super clean and comfortable accommodations for our family in a beautiful vineyard setting less than 10 minutes from downtown Healdsburg. Would definitely return.
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was fairly old. We couldn’t get one TV to work at all. The fridge froze up on us and ruined lettuce and other produce we had for salad, along with refrigerated snacks. The lights over the dining room table would flicker on and off after they were on for a period of time. The setting is pretty remote but beautiful, located next to a large vineyard. The rental company was responsive and had someone fix the lights, refrigerator and TVs except the one mentioned. The thermostats were on some type of settings which made it difficult to control the temperature.
Property was as described in the listing, and worked out great for a college reunion with eight women. Property is a few minutes out of town (which provides for solitude). Upper bathroom was not cleaned as much as the rest of the home, and missing some kitchen staples, (like butter), but other than that, we would recommend and stay again. Referenced new beds were very comfortable.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was as good as pictured in the listing. Ample space for 4 couples to have privacy but still have community space to spend time together. Kitchen was well-stocked and easy to find everything you could want to use. Very private and secluded but yet close to Healdsburg.
We were here for the Santa Rosa Ironman. This was a perfect spot for entertaining and cooking. Great Layout. We stocked and appointed kitchen. Excellent location. Definitely would highly recommend!

This house has a great, private location, well equipped kitchen and nice patio/yard. I wouldn't call it a luxury home, needs some up dating and the media room is really over hyped. It is simply a room with a sofa and large TV.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at this property in February 2019 with three other couples (eight of us total). We loved the location, the large kitchen table and gathering area and the hot tub. And we had a great weekend with our friends. However, we had a lot of issues, especially for $1000 / night. There were dead ants in the bathrooms that should have easily been cleaned up, we saw a mouse in the kitchen the first night (the property owner sent someone out the next morning to deal with it), the water in the shower at the end of the hall upstairs (shared by two couples) wouldn't give them hot water and when it was all said and done I had to ask and ask and ask for my deposit to be returned. It was pretty frustrating. Also, I was not notified about the location of the key until the day we traveled, in an email - which I didn't get because we were traveling. So when we arrived at the pitch black house in the pouring rain we were locked out. Calls to the numbers we were given went to voicemail. Eventually I found the email but it was not a great welcome, as others have mentioned. Some of the beds need replacing as well. And the wine fridge - well, the wine fridge should work in wine country. Anyway, we love this area of wine country very much and the grounds of this house are stunning, but the place could really use a bit of TLC and a better system of communication.
