Wonderful Place to Wait while our Home was becoming Available

We moved from the East Coast to the Bay area this summer. While waiting for our new home to become available, we needed housing for our family of four plus two in-laws who wanted to see California. We found this Sonoma property to be beautifully furnished and a perfect place to spend a month. It had a new TV, ample cookware and appliances, lots of room for us to spread out, and a beautiful patio for BBQ dinners! We enjoyed walking and strolling along the bike trails, visiting the Farmers Market in the Plaza and tasting at the local wineries. We highly recommend this home for anyone who needs temporary housing while their new residence is becoming available.

Great place! 4 ladies found this place to be perfect! Beautiful garden/patio as well. Photos on vrbo don't really do it justice! Would recommend for mature familys or small groups. Has everything you need. All the comforts of home. Lovely quiet neighborhood close to everything. You won't be disappointed.

Home Made for an Incredible First Visit to Sonoma

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful, spacious home. The home is in perfect condition with all the amenities. We loved that you could be cooking, sitting at the kitchen table, or lounging on the family room couch and still be in the same area enjoying each other's company. We also felt like the pictures didn’t do the home justice, especially the back yard. We changed our plans and made sure we cooked in so we could enjoy the back yard and house. The home is in an excellent location in a lovely neighborhood. We took advantage every day of the bike-walking path right behind the home, and enjoyed being able to walk to the local grocery stores – two choices within easy walking distance. Loved working with Colleen in setting up our stay. She responded to emails in a very timely manner and greeted us on our arrival. She made sure we were set and answered any questions. This is a perfect home base to enjoy all that Sonoma has to offer – the plaza, wineries, Jack London Park, etc. We would definitely return to this home and location in the future when visiting the Sonoma and Napa Valleys.

Owner response:A small note about the above review. We're located a few blocks from the bike trail, but it is not right behind the home. The trail runs from Maxwell Village (Starbucks and Lucky Grocery store) to 4th Street East (Sebastiani Winery). It becomes a two lane street at 4th called Lovall Valley Road. It passes Ravenswood Winery, going on to Bartholomew Park Winery (good place for picnics) and Buena Vista Winery. It's a great walk even if you don't have a bicycle.

Perfect Place to Stay!

This is a really nice home, clean, beautifully decorated, has multiple amenities and is much larger than it looks in the pictures. The bedrooms are large, the beds are comfortable, and the house is perfect for relaxing, cooking a meal and enjoying friends. There is a private backyard garden with patio, grill, flowers, vegetable garden and fruit trees. The neighborhood is quiet. Carol is very accommodating and made sure our stay was pleasant. She had coffee and rolls waiting for us, went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed, and allowed us to use the house late in the day of departure since we had a late flight.

If you don't stay in this home you are making a big mistake. My wife, son and his wife stayed in Sonoma for a couple weeks in March 2009 and the house was absolutely Perfect. Carol is an excellent property owner and has made this house as comfortable as your own, plus the location - WOW! Well positioned to everywhere in Sonoma County (and Napa too), great walking in the morning, shopping around the corner and fantastic yard to just relax. I know one thing - we are staying here when we return to Sonoma.
