My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at Shooting Star. Our sincerest thanks to Sue for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. The house is large and roomy with beautiful views of the countryside. Sitting in the jacuzzi and taking in the stars was fabulous! The house was clean and well equipped, the bed was very comfortable and the double headed shower a treat! What a beautiful place for a getaway!! Many thanks!!

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Shooting Star Ranch. Sue (the owner) was warm and welcoming. The house and the farm itself were beautiful. Our dog had a great time roaming around the farm and we were lucky enough to see woodpeckers, quail, and a bobcat among the olive trees. This was a perfect relaxing getaway.

The open space makes me feel free! I love the fresh line dried towels. Vanilla scent in master bedroom is wonderful from the candles. Comfortable bed and lots of pillows. Lovely hot tub.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights in mid august 2011 with our fourteen month old daughter. We brought a pack-n-play and had her sleep in the loft so we could move freely on the main floor after she went to sleep. She had a great time crawling and walking around on the smooth cool tiles on the main floor while she played. Hubby and I loved the wonderful deck and hot tub, enjoyed under a bed of stars. The house was clean and comfortable. The hospitality was lovely and not at all over bearing. Location was great, walking distance to Breggo. Nice to not have to bring my hair dryer too. Also, unexpectedly to us being from chicago, they did not need air conditioning...even though temps got into the 90s I think, it was cool in the house and it cooled off so nicely in the evening. We needed to wear pants and long sleeves later in the night (aside from hot tub time!) and in the cool mornings. This was our first time to Anderson valley and what a relaxing, pleasant place!

We had a relaxing weekend celebrating our Okasan's 83rd birthday. Enjoyed the olive trees and dining al fresco, "skinny dipping" with my mother-in-law, hiking, bbqing fresh wild caught salmon (from the Boonville Farmers Market), dinner at the Boonville Hotel, playing frisbee on the lawn and the Navarro barrel tasting party. Great record collection. Thank you Sue and Tom for a wonderful place.

We came up for the Boonville Beer Festival and we sure are glad that we stayed here. The place is very clean, comfy beds, grounds are beautiful, hot tub is nice and warm, especially on cool evenings. The dogs had a great time playing in all the open space. Tom and Sue are very sweet and accomodated us nicely. Thanks so much for a great weekend. Hopefully we can stay again next time we come up to Boonville.

We had a wonderful vacation at Shooting Star. Your home and property is gorgeous. Our highlight was sitting on the hill sharing a bottle of Anderson Valley wine! We hope to visit again.

Thank you so much for your warm hospitality. We enjoyed our stay immensly, basking in the peacefullness and beauty of The Olive Farm. We LOVED the house, the deck, the view and the unbelievably starry sky at night. You don't see that in NY. Thanks too for the olive oil...it made our farmers market goodies taste all the better. All the best to you both. Warm regards.

These were perfect days with the music, accoustics, the endless views and the wonderful family wineries and restaurants - Libbys - yum - wow! Thank you for being such caring hosts - we lacked for nothing. I hope we can fly directly to Santa Rosa next time and stay in another season to see how things change. Warmly.

It was a perfect retreat. Looking out on the Valley, vineyards and olive groves this morning is inspirational, even in the rain, it is beautiful beyond words. Thank you.

Thank you so much for a wonderful relaxing, scenic vacation. We picked Shooting Star because we were trying a trip with our dogs. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. Not only did we get to relax, read books, enjoy the fantastic wines of AV, but we got to walk your property and Hendy Woods State Park with Lucy and Judah. We watched Lucy "Miss Timid" explore a little more every day. Its hard to go back to our more touristy valley. Thank you so much for sharing. PS - the olive oil is delicious!
