  The owners were so sweet and accomodating. We called them several times throughout our stay to ask for directions, reservations, winery tours, etc. and they also answered and steered us in the right direction. We had a small get together with some very PARTICULAR friends (sorry guys!) who were staying at different (very expensive) places in Healdsburg and they were all jealous. The pool and yard were just so relaxing, clean, perfect! The house is stocked with everything and then some. We loved the location because we were able to walk to eat and drive to almost anywhere we wanted within minutes. We DO love Healdsburg and have only stayed there in the past, but I have to say, Cloverdale really impressed us. The locals were very nice, it was far less crowded with tourists, there were a few really great places to eat, and it was literally only a 12-15 minute drive into Healdsburg. We stayed last time at a vacation rental that was in the Healdsburg zip code, but it was over 20 minutes out in the country, up a windy dusty country road. I prefer the beautiful drive down the Hwy101. We will definitly be back and would recommend this home to ANYONE! Don't miss out!

  This is our 4th stay at the Domenichelli Farmhouse and we are NEVER disappointed! Thank you Steve and Stephanie for maintaining such an amazing getaway for all of us. We really loved the newly tiled showers in both bathrooms. We also thought the way you removed the garden shed and created more space around the pool since our last stay was a great touch. If you are looking for a wonderful place to stay that is just a short drive to wineries and downtown Healdsburg, this is it!

  This was by far the nicest VRBO property we have ever rented. The house was so comfortable and welcoming. The bedrooms were great and the beds very comfortable. The porch is a great feature!! We had beautiful weather and spent much of our time outside on the porch. We were able to eat outside every night. The house has a great kitchen, room for 3-4 cooks at a time. The fenced yard is perfect for kids. We had 3 little boys, 2, 4 and 6, and they could run around and play ball and tag--and we didn't have to worry about the pool as it has its own fence. Stephanie and Steve made us feel so welcome. We had wonderful produce from their garden, Stephanie brought a delicious apple pastry and fresh cookies--and we had a bottle of wine for my birthday. We would absolutely stay at their house again--and would highly recommend it to our friends. Cloverdale is a nice location-very family friendly, but not too far from Healdsburg and lots of wineries.

  Owner response: Thank you Gerry and Happy Birthday! We were honored you chose to spend your special celebration at our property and so pleased that all of you enjoyed the house so much. It's groups like yours and your appreciation for the home and area that make it all worthwhile! We would welcome you back anytime. Salute! Steve and Stephanie Domenichelli

  My family can not say enough good things about this fabulous home. The accomodations were perfect for a large, extended family vacationing together. The photo's are great, but it seemed that the home was much bigger then depicted. There were plenty of supplies to let us cook and dine indoors and out! The pool kept the kids (and adults) entertained for hours. The town of Cloverdale may be California's best kept secret! Close to everything, yet had the small town feel that we were looking for. The owner's were great to work with. We hope to visit again!

  This is the third time our family has chosen to stay at this property. It is superb!! The owners think of every last detail and are so helpful with any questions or assistance with local needs. We love that when we come back each year, it is obvious that they continue to improve and improve! We thoughts the beds and sheets were wonderful the first time, yet they seem to get better and better. I swear I sleep better here than when I am home!! It is like home, only on vacation!!! The pool is so great and the kids just love hanging out, chatting, splashing. Cloverdale is a little diamond in the rough and we feel blessed to call it home for one week a year!! Thank you to the owners for making this the best week every year for our family.

  This property exceeded all expectations. The pictures are good but certainly do not do this property any justice. It is just lovely. The rooms are all large and spacious and the yard is a wonderful retreat. The owners were very sweet and helpful. We walked downtown to the charming little downtown Cloverdale music event and farmers market. The weather was very warm during the daytime but the evenings were like nothing we had every experienced before, incredible. Healdsburg is only 15 minutes on the highway to the South. We had initially wanted to be in Healdsburg but after having visited and seen first hand what a zoo that town is on the weekends, were very relieved that we found Cloverdale. There were more wineries within a short drive from the house than we had ever imagined. We had not been to this part of Sonoma County in over 10 years and I honestly could NOT believe how it has changed. It is amazing. Highly recommended. We will certainly be back.

  Owner response: Thank you Craig! It was so nice to help and your group was really really fun. Next time you all come back we will schedule a longer tasting...with food!

  I have traveled the world and been on too many vacations...and this is in my top 2!!! This home was so perfect for a small family or group. Every ammenity you need is there. The owner was INCREDIBLY helpful in helping plan my vacation. They had specific recommendations for winery tours and places to visit. Even people in town said we were given great advice. It was amazing. We cant wait to book this again for next year. I use VRBO all the time and this home tops my list. I 100% recommend it.

  The Farmhouse was everything as advertised and more. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting for the events that preceded our daughters wedding, the day of and day after the wedding, it was perfect!! The bedrooms were very comfortable, there was more than enough room for social gatherings, the kitchen is well equipped to prepare meals. Upon arrival we found the Farmhouse to be very clean and well maintained and would highly recommend this vacation home to anyone looking for a site that makes you feel right at home. Stephanie was very responsive to questions and concerns prior to our arrival. We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to visiting again in the future.

  Owner response: Thank you Jack and family! We are so thrilled that you were able to spend this special occasion at our property. The Rankin's Ranch must have looked gorgeous for the wedding and the weather held out too! Please come back soon and we can share some wine. Thanks again! Steve and Stephanie

  We rented this home for a dual birthday celebration with family. At first we were concerned with the location of the home, being that it's in Cloverdale which we knew nothing about. As soon as we pulled into the circular driveway our concerns melted away. The first thing we noticed was the abundance of roses and flowers, and the air smelled of orange blossoms. The home is spacious, comfortable and allowed for easy walks into town. Cloverdale is small-town America, we felt very safe walking late at night and enjoyed the local restaurants. We also took advantage of the walking path along the river every morning before breakfast. And it's a short distance to everything that the wine country has to offer. Our only drawback to the home was that we could have used another bathroom with 10 of us staying there, otherwise the property is a charming comfortable base for your wine country vacation.
