We made a last minute reservation of this house to spend with Thanksgiving with our kids in Santa Rosa. It was last minute, but it all went smoothly and we had a great time at the house and cooking an entire Thanksgiving dinner. We would stay at this house again. It was nicely furnished and charming, as were the owners who live next door. If there was a drawback, it would be that there was no shower, but the large jacuzzi tub helped.
Owner response:This may have been an oversight on our part for not pointing out the large whirlpool bath that holds two romantically also has a hand held European style shower on a l-o-n-g flexible hose. We're sorry we didn't make that clear. - Hope to see you soon!
