                    It was my Husbands 40th & his best friend flew in from Texas with his girlfriend. We spent four nights here, and had such a great time. The house itself was perfect for us & gave us enough room to be together but apart as well. We hit the Hot Tub every night....and some mornings too! Instead of going out to dinner for his Bday we made a great big dinner in the kitchen and all sat around the beautiful big dining table and drank way to much wine. It felt like a home away from home (but nicer than our home !). Hardwood floors, super comfy beds.......very relaxing & quiet. The best part is that it is very centrally located to everything that one comes to the wine country for. 5 minuets to the closest winery & about 30 minuets to Napa. I think it now may be an annual visit for all of us. I would highly recommend this rental, so much better than staying at a hotel.

                    For our trip to wine country we decided to try a rental property rather than stay in a hotel and we were very glad we did. Our stay was a week long. The house is exactly as described and pictured on the website. The house is attractive, comfortable, very clean, and well maintained. The towels and bed linens were very nice and the kitchen well equipped. The outdoor patio area was nicely furnished. One of the amenities we wanted was a hot tub. The hot tub on the property was very nice, private, clean, well maintained, and the perfect temperature. We enjoyed the hot tub every evening. The owners are very responsive should you need to get in touch with them. The welcome bottle of champaigne in the fridge was a nice touch. We enjoyed our stay very much and would not hesitate to recommend this property!

                    The house was clean except some spots on the carpet. We only had one hand towel, plenty of bath towels, one roll of toilet paper no back ups in the cupboard. The jacuzzi needed some treatment it was a little green. The property was beautiful and the people who owned it were very pleasant. We enjoyed our stay.

                    Tranquil, comfortable, tastefully decorated (both inside and outside/landscape), private...very attentive ownership...and, water pressure issue appears to be a thing of the past. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary in Sonoma...spliting our time between relaxing on the property and exploring the town square (approx. 3 miles away). As far as exploring, we would highly recommend Basque Boulangerie Cafe for a coffee & pastry, Vella Cheese for a noon snack and dinner @ either Della Santina's (italian) or Saddles (steak). If ever in the area again, we wouldn't hesitate to stay at this very relaxing property.

                    This home was absolutely perfect in every way for our 2 couple wine tasting tour in the Sonoma/Napa/Russian River Valley region. The home has very well-apportioned, separate upper and lower level living units which allow plenty of privacy and still have the feel of being together. The kitchen and outdoor cooking areas are extremely well equipped for dining in, and the grounds, which include hot tub, outdoor seating, etc. are superb. I give this home and its excellent host/owner a full five star endorsement. For those interested in wine tours, the owner runs an transportation company that has been in business over 20 years. We had two separate tours through the company into Napa (only 1/2 hour away) and in the Russian River area and found the cars to be very clean, well maintained, and having very courteous and helpful drivers. Looking forward to our next trip back.

                    The house is hidden away off of the main thoroughfare in Sonoma, and it sits in a very quiet area. The gated yard is a nice feature, and lends an added feeling of security. There are two houses on the property, one of them occupied by the property owner, who was on the property most of the time that we were there. The house itself is quaint, nicely appointed, and is exactly as it is described. There were no negative surprises upon arrival. The house is clean, in a decent state of repair, and everything worked inside the home. I will suggest however that the water heater is not big enough for 4 adults to shower consecutively, as hot water ran out after about the second shower. The mattresses are some of the firmest I've ever encountered. There were no good quality red wine glasses of any kind, so if you plan to drink quality Napa cabs on your trip, do yourself a favor and bring your own crystal. There are plenty of white wine glasses available. The back yard patio is a very nice place to sit and relax. The only improvement I could suggest here would be the addition of lighting around the trellis so that dining outside after dark would be a better experience. All in all a very pleasant stay, and exactly as advertised.

                    Our stay was fabulous! Our host was so magnimous and we shared a lovely conversation as well. Our only negative at all was just the water pressure in the sinks and showers upstairs. The bathtub had lots of pressure, but we really had difficulty showering. We washed our hair in the kitchen sink. It was so lovely and we look forward to returning! Thank you!!

                  About the owner: We have lived in Sonoma Valley for more then 25 years. We own and operate California Wine Tours, the areas #1 wine tour company. We enjoy sharing with visitors all our beautiful wine country has to offer. Whether you are chauffeur driven by one of our expert tour guides or self driven we have several great itineraries and activities to choose from, just ask!

                  Why the Owner Chose Sonoma:
                  The Wine Country has a lot to offer but when it comes to where we wanted to buy the decision was easy, Sonoma Valley is the best. Hands down!

                  The Unique Benefits at this House:
                  One of the best benefits of the rental is it's size. It's larger then most 2 bedroom houses out there. It's 2700 sq feet and is very private. The location is also a plus, only 5 minutes to the downtown plaza and 5 minutes to the wineries.
