Family wedding. We also rented the house next door. Kids and adults totaled 20. The rentals and location were perfect. It was a great experience. Incidentally 1 kitchen cabinet door had a loose hinge.
While we enjoyed out stay, the house was not as nice as the photos. The bedrooms were fine (we wanted 5 BRs), but the house is a bit more 'tired' than it appears and the layout is bizarre. The hot tub (which was a draw) was not inviting; the water had an eery green tint and the smell of chemicals was overwhelming. The BBQ worked fine, but the oven was very slow to heat up and never reached over 400F - despite setting at 475. The neighborhood is quiet, but there is basically a junkyard across the street. Overall, 3 out of 5 stars.
Cannot sat enough good things about this home. Clean and organized with a well equipped kitchen and plenty of communal space
Clean, comfortable, lots of towels, comfy beds, decently appointed kitchen. Our only constructive feedback is regarding the hot tub. We really wanted to use it but the chemicals were not right, the water was green and after the first day the water was no longer heating.
Great house - very spacious. Beautiful outside gardens and landscaping.
The property was very cute and well appointed. There was no needs unmet. Beautiful scenery. The layout of the house left a little to desire ... bathrooms were a bit of a challenge. It's time for a little maintenance too on screens, outdoor furniture, etc. While it's close to town ... don't be fooled ... it's hike. Overall, a fabulous stay.
A beautiful, well-equipped property. We found it so delightful that we cancelled plans to venture out and spent our time sharing memories made over 60 years ago and cooking in the lovely kitchen. Enjoyed by all.
My group of 11 friends just finished an 8 day stay in villa tranquila and I cannot stress how perfect the home was for our group of 4 couples and 3 individuals. We had to call the emergency line for the management company on two occasions for assistance with the outdoor grill and a malfunctioning house alarm. Assistance was quick and effective and much appreciated. Thanks for facilitating our stay at this wonderful home!
We stayed with our daughters and their families for a long weekend. We had our own spaces and plenty of room. The kitchen was well-equipped and had plenty of workspace. We spent much of our time outdoors in the many delightful spots around the yard -picnic tables, hot tub, rocking chairs, porch swing, fire ring... We loved it and would definitely stay here again!
Our extended family of 10 truly enjoyed our escape to the Russian River. This lovely hilltop home was well appointed for our group. We especially enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, and viewing the gorgeous night sky from the hot tub and back yard fire pit. Great location to stroll into town for morning coffee, browsing the stores or to walk over the Guerenville bridge. Rooms were clean and comfortable except the upstairs king bedroom which had a very saggy mattress that needs to be replaced. We look forward to returning to this house for a future stay!
