Perfect Napa Retreat

Guest: Lisa L. (Crystal Lake, IL)
Date of Stay: 10/22/11 Review Submitted: 11/04/11

This house was the perfect getaway for 3 couples! We were all impressed with how clean and comfortable it was and it's convenient location to the wineries. The beds were so comfortable that many of us realized it was the best sleep we had in a while. We ate most of our dinners out on the cozy patio by candlelight and truly felt at home in this house. Definitely take advantage of going through the drawer loaded with brochures and such, we were able to find coupons for tastings and maps to plan our days. We can't wait to come back next year and hope this house will be available again, we would definitely recommend it. Thanks so much Sandra and Stewart, we truly enjoyed our stay!

Clean and comfortable home in Napa

My parents, my husband and our 20-month year old son, stayed at Stewart and Sandra's home for two nights. It was clean and comfortable and close to everything. If you're looking to have Napa as your home-base for wine tasting, this would be a perfect choice. The hot tub was a nice perk too! If we are ever to return to the area, we wouldn't hesitate for a moment to stay again.

Great Rental Experience

When we arrived, to receive keys and a property overview, I recall the homeowner's words as she departed: "it's yours for the duration of the stay." I wish I could say my own home was as immaculate and clean; bath towels of such generous size, fluffy and wonderful! A neat and fully stocked linen closet included designated towels for the outdoor hot tub, another wonderful amenity. We cooked all dinners "in" - well two using the outdoor grill. How convenient to have washer and dryer in the garage. The beds were wonderful! All appliances and lighting was in good working order. Separate seating in the TV area and living room area offers different conversation areas though we generally all stuck together including comfortable seating for the six of us around the dining table or patio table. The neighborhood was safe allowing my girlfriend and I good sidewalks for venturing out on walks. The property is conveniently located near major roads; easy to get to downtown Napa and/or other shopping - grocery stores convenient. Our group of three couples would certainly all return for a future wine country visit. Indeed, we were all delighted with our stay at this property. (Thanks for the plastic tableware and stemware for outside dining and enjoyment of local wine.)

Wise choice truly was a wise choice for us and our two friends as we visited the wine country. The house was clean, had everything we needed, beds were comfortable and was conveniently located. Would highly recommend this home.

Great value and location for Napa Valley touring

Guest: Brian (San Francisco, CA)
Date of Stay: 05/06/11 Review Submitted: 05/18/11

Great house. Very spacious for 6 people (large kitchen table, couches, etc). Very good quality of furnishings, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. The location is fantastic for Napa Valley touring (if that's your goal, it's about the best location you can get, considering that vacation rentals outside of the city of Napa are illegal). Only mark against (and why I gave 4 stars instead of 5) is that the master bathroom window doesn't have any curtains/blinds/obscured glass. I don't like the feeling that a neighbor could see me in there. :) But if you're careful I think you can avoid line-of-sight. Overall - a great house, and a great value (prices are pretty reasonable versus other properties). Definitely recommended.

Owner response:Sandra and I appreciate Brian’s comments. We have worked very hard to upgrade the house and make it as comfortable as possible for our guests. All of the windows in the bedrooms, living room, family room, and kitchen have either horizontal or vertical privacy blinds. The master bathroom has a small window overlooking the patio and in 3+ years of renting our home this is the first time a guest has mentioned that the window could be a privacy issue. However, if it was uncomfortable for Brian, I’m sure others have felt the same way. We have now purchased and installed a blind in the window so that it will not be an issue for future guests. Thank you, Sandra & Stewart Mehrens Wise Choice Vacation Rental

Wonderful Time in Napa

Thank you for letting us stay at your property. It was a perfect spot for our girls' weekend in Napa. We do this trip every year, and we agreed that the accomodations this year were by far the best. The home was clean and beautifully decorated. You have not forgotten any detail for a relaxing, comfortable stay, even down to the mints on the pillows. Thanks again for helping make our trip wonderful.

Very clean, comfortable home

Date of Stay: 03/12/11 Review Submitted: 03/24/11

My husband and I were in Napa to celebrate our 50th birthdays with friends and our son. This home was perfect for our four night stay, very close to all of the essentials (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods,etc.) and was very quiet and comfortable. It offered all of the things we needed and Stewart and Sandra were great to work with. Thanks very much and perhaps we will see you again!

Wise Choice for Wine Country

Guest: Pete (San Diego, CA)
Date of Stay: 11/15/10 Review Submitted: 11/19/10

We've stayed in this home with two other couples twice in the past year and all of us agree it's a great location and excellent value. The location is ideal as it's close to the restaurants of downtown Napa as well as Yountville. We enjoy cooking so being close to Whole Foods and Traders Joes is a real plus as well as having a nicely equipped kitchen. The house is well furnished and has excellent amenities including wireless internet. Stewart and Sandra are great to work with. We'll be coming back.

Great stay and above the norm quality

Guest: Shelly (Texas)

Met in person, she did complete walk through of property and features. Very kind! The property was much better than some I've been too with good furnishings, comfortable bed.... and HOT TUB! Hot tub was great, enjoying a glass of wine looking up at the stars in Napa valley.... who can beat that? Great value, better than most hotels in the area, and great property. Can't go wrong. Don't pay more for downtown, as this literally was 5 mins drive from downtown!
