Third Time is a Charm! and will be back again and again!! Loved it!

Guest: Marco (Sedona Arizona)
Date of Stay: 09/17/11 Review Submitted: 10/20/11

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.

Owner response:So great! We really enjoy your group too! Hoping to see you again this year, 2012!

Excellent! Excellent! Our favorite VRBO stay in years!

Guest: Craig (Medina Washington)
Date of Stay: 05/21/11 Review Submitted: 10/19/11

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!

Perfect Vacation!!!

Guest: Tyler (Phoenix, AZ)
Date of Stay: 05/05/11 Review Submitted: 05/09/11

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.

Owner response:Thank you Tyler! Congratulations on your beautiful occassion. It sounds like everything turned out just like you hoped it would! We look forward to your stay in the future! Steve and Stephanie

ABUNDANCE OF CHARACTER AND CHARM

Guest: Jack (Williamsville, NY)
Date of Stay: 10/13/10 Review Submitted: 10/22/10

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

Feels Like Home

Guest: RobbiLB (Castle Pines North, CO)
Date of Stay: 05/01/10 Review Submitted: 05/12/10

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.

30th Birthday Weekend

Guest: Randi Michelle (California, USA)
Date of Stay: 03/19/10 Review Submitted: 03/30/10

My friends and I rented the Dominichelli Farmhouse for my 30th birthday weekend. Having only viewed the home through the website, we were thoroughly impressed with how well the photos depicted the house. It is an absolutely beautiful home with comfortable beds and bedding, beautiful hard wood floors, and an amazingly relaxing hot tub. It provided more than enough room for me and my guests and gave everyone a sense of privacy/ relaxation for the weekend. Stephanie Dominichelli was more than accomodating in making sure that were comfortable and satisfied with our stay. Thanks again Stephanie!

A crew of fun and young runners and spectators rented the Farmhouse for the "Desintation Healdsburg Half Marathon" during Halloween weekend. The large dining room was perfect for our group rendezvous and yummy home cooked AND grilled meals. The hot tub, gorgeous pool and porches were picture perfect. The kitchen amenities were plentiful and the great number of sleeping accommodations/bedrooms were ideal for us. We definitely want to return soon! Thank you Domenichellis!

We had a group of 9 stay at the house in April. Although it was a rainy weekend, it was a great weekend. We were greeted with fresh lemons and clementines from Stephanie and a beautiful cozy home. Although we had a lot of activities planned, we ended up cancelling many of them and just staying in the house enjoying each others company. We will definitely return. Thanks for everything!

Owner response:So Glad you enjoyed the citrus and the house! It is a great place to sit back and unwind. Please return soon since your so close by! Stephanie

Stephanie and Steve what a fantastic house you have! It was the perfect place for a girls weekend getaway. We all needed it. The beds so comfy, to hot tub so relaxing right in wine county. I highly recommend the Farmhouse and especially having dinner at the house. The food was amazing from appetizers to dinner. Stephanie kudos to you! And Steve thanks for ensuring we had a fire ready. Your hospitality is amazing and I only look forward to coming back again! THANK YOU for opening your house to us and helping us to create some special memories.

Owner response:Thank you for being such a fun group! Too fun...Steve and I enjoyed too much wine that night with you all, the morning after was a little weary...We look forward to your return. Steve and Stephanie

Fantastic wine country home for children

Guest: Jane and Ian (Columbus, OH)
Date of Stay: 09/07/08 Review Submitted: 09/18/08

What a wonderful house. The pictures do not do it justice. Our 2 small children had a great time in the pool and the play set outside. The whole yard is fenced in with the pool fenced separately which brings a piece of mind with little ones playing outside. Stephanie checked on us frequently and was extremely helpful.

My husband and I, along with our families spent a long weekend at the Domenichelli Farm House and had our wedding reception in the back yard. We could not have chosen a better place to enjoy time with our families and celebrate our wedding. The home is absolutely gorgeous and stocked with everything a guest could possibly need. The pool was certainly a focal point and our nieces and nephews put the play area to good use. We plan to make the Domenichelli Farmhouse an annual family reunion destination. Thanks!!!!

Owner response:We were thrilled to host your special occasion and look forward to many more to come! Congratulations! Steve and Stephanie

We were lucky enough to find this wonderful property through the referral of our wine club associates. It came highly recommended because of the owner's wonderful attention to detail, the cleanliness of the howe, and her ability to plan out our entire wine country itinerary. Stephanie was amazing and by far the most helpful person we have ever experienced on our many visits to the area. She was always there, answering the phone, suggesting restaurants, and anything else we needed. She made our stay perfect in every way! We will definitely be back a look forward to sending all of our friends and family to stay here.

Owner response:It was our pleasure to host such a generous group, Thank you for all of the wine. It was such a thoughtful gesture. You are all welcome back anytime!

First off, I'm jealous the last post got to stay here for 2 months! Would have loved to do that myself, but will save that for retirement....someday. The Farmhouse was much more than we anticipated - the pictures are gorgeous, but seeing it was a whole different world. A relaxing world my friends and I had a hard time leaving. The house is warm and inviting; we enjoyed spending a lot of time on the porch chatting, as well as soaking in the hot tub. We had the chance to go wine tasting - Preston and Hanna were our two favorites, and we also had a great time at Alexander Valley. Grapes and Grounds does an excellent breakfast sandwich and the food at La Hacienda was delicious! Stephanie and Steve - kudos on a beautiful and warm home. We hope to make it back at some point, and I've already recommended the Farmhouse to other friends and my family. Best, Collette & friends

Owner response:Thank you Collette, and thanks for baring with us through those first moments of chaos. Steve & Stephanie

Our stay at the Domenichelli Farm House for 2 months (yes, us lucky dogs) exceeded our expectations of the area, people, location and comfort of the home. We ate at the restuarants recommended in the in-house binder, twice at Cena Luna and Santi, gained 5 pounds each. And we are now looking for property because the orange and lemon trees in the backyard are hard to give up!!!!! Montana will be home for a few more years but winter in Cloverdale/Healdsburg got our hot button. A very nice lady at the local bookstore (Cloverdale) recommended books on the local area and family histories of various wineries. Check it out if you are a front porch reader. Wine tasting arranged by our hosts was a delight. Loved the small town atmosphere. Who needs Napa/Sonoma when you can stay at the Domenichelli Farm House in Cloverdale!!!

Owner response:The best, most low-maintenance guest ever! We are excited to have you in the neighborhood. Hope your property search is going well and you can find a property with great citrus trees. Best, Steve & Stephanie

Every winter we have a reunion with a handful of my husband's fraternity brothers and their wives. 2007 was our turn to host. Our December stay at your lovely home was wonderful. The house was decorated and big enough for the 8 of us. We enjoyed the hot tub too. Dined at Zin in Healdsburg (very yummy) and went to some local wineries: our faves were Ferrari-Carano and Pedroncelli. Also attended Mazzocco's Holiday Open House for members. Fabulous Zins! Be sure to visit Iron Horse Vineyards for a fabulous flight. We want to stay at the farmhouse again when we can enjoy the porches and pool! Thank you Stephanie!

We were getting married in Healdsburg and it was the perfect way for our families to spend time together. The house is beautiful. All the bedrooms are lovely. The multiple decks, big yard, and pool/spa area are amazing. Our favorite was the master bedroom. It is tucked away just so and the fireplace makes it very cozy. We will be back...

My 8 girlfriends and I stayed at Stephanie's house for 3 nights to celebrate my cousins upcoming wedding. We loved the house, decor and attention to detail. We had dinner at Piacere where the owners joined us and the food was fabulous. We went wine tasting with 5 star Limo (Rich) and had a wonderful, personal day per Stephanie's reccomendation. We went to Ferrari, Bella, Seghesio, Sebrasia..all wonderful. We ordered in from Simply Thai and were very impressed with authentic thai. I highly reccomend Stephanie's home to anyone looking for a home away from home in the beautiful wine country!!

We stayed at the Domenichelli home in August. There were 7 adults,2 twin babies, a 2 year old, and a 5 year old...and yes, there was PLENTY of room for everyone. We were there for a family reunion and we stayed for 1 week. What a perfect location to Healdsburg, Santa Rosa and wineries. We were so thrilled and delighted with EVERYTHING. It seems redundant to mention all the positive attributes of the home because everyone has already commented on them. Whatever has been said, multiply by 10...it was that spectacular. We really didn't want to leave!!! Stephanie was tremendous in every way and there was nothing she missed. (Thanks so much Stephanie) We will definately be back!!

Owner response:We are thrilled that your family was able to get together at the house and enjoy time with each other and meet the new babies. We look forward to seeing you again. Steve and Stephanie Domenichelli

This house is truly wonderful! It’s conveniently located near great wineries, but not in a touristy area. We felt at home from the minute we got there. The house has plenty of room to spread out (we had four females, so each got her own room). The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals at the house – which left us more money for buying wine! And we really enjoyed having dinner on the covered back porch and relaxing by the fire pit or in the hot tub at night. Stephanie was great to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended!

Owner response:Thank you Paige, we are so happy that you had a wonderful time! Look forward to seeing you again! Stephanie

We spent a wonderful five nights at the Domenichelli Farm House with two other couples who were equally thrilled with our visit and your home. We were in the "Wine Country" to share in the bottling of our sons wine label. A great moment - it was an added benefit to be able to travel to all the beautiful winerys. We ordered food from a local Restaurant called Mary's Pizza Kitchen for an investors gathering and ate one night at Piacere just across the street and had a great meal. We loved the pool and especially the porch off the kitchen. We also thought Healdsburg was a great little town. Thank you for a wonderful trip and all the help Stephanie gave us to visit the winerys. Susan, Mike and Friends

Owner response:We are thrilled you all were able to enjoy such a nice visit with your son and friends. It must have been exciting to share in the bottling process of your OWN wine! It is quite an achievment. We look forward to seeing you again! Steve and Stephanie Domenichelli

Where do I begin! We just had the most wonderful and memorable few days at the Domenichelli Farm House! It far surpassed our expectations. My daughter, Kristin, was participating in the Vineman Triathlon and doing the half ironman in memory of her Dad, my husband, Steve. She was running with the Leukemia and Lymphoma's Team in Training. Your home just "wrapped us in love". My son, my nieces and their families all stayed at your beautiful home. There was plenty of room for everyone! We loved the huge kitchen ... where we had fun preparing food ... your side porch was a favorite place for us to gather and share meals every night ... and, of course, the pool was a welcome relief from the 90 degree plus days. Your location couldn't be more perfect ... with so many beautiful vineyards so close by to visit. We truly felt as if we were "home" in your farm house ... and thank you for all of the little details that made us feel that way, from lush poolside towels to lovely decorated rooms. Staying in your home only made our emotional and special trip out west even that much more memorable.I will hold my time in Sonoma Vally as one of the most special times in my life. And you were a large part of that. Thank you. THANK YOU!

Owner response:Thank you for choosing to stay with us during this special time. It is stories like yours that make us really love and enjoy what we are doing here! Thank you for all of your kind words, you are all wonderful people and we would be honored to accommodate you again in the future! Steve and Stephanie Domenichelli

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!

What an incredible weekend. We were there with family who came from Florida, Seattle, Cape Cod and San Francisco. We were supporting my cousin who ran the Vineman for the first time, in honor of her incredible father who passed away in January of this year. Your home provided a wonderful place for us to gather, relax, cook, laugh and enjoy priceleses time together. It was a weekend I will always cherish, not only because of time with my family, but because of the incredible surroundings. The home is spectacular. Everyone had a bedroom and more space than they could ever want. We ate all our meals outside on the beautiful deck, lounged in the pool, walked and ran throughout cloverdale, tasted wine just a few miles up the road... what a perfect place and a perfect location. THank you for the gift of a weekend we'll never forget!

Owner response:Thank you for the kind words and congratulations to Kristin for her amazing accomplishment. Finishing the Vineman triatholon is a SERIOUS achievement!

DITTO...DITTO...DITTO (the great comments posted below) We also have re-booked for next summer! This summer we were 3 couples (from across the country), next summer we will include our kids. So much to do - we bicycled (each day a different area), wine tasted (yum), ate incredible food, and went exploring. After all of it, to come back to a PERFECT place to just enjoy and relax! And Cloverdale was a perfect jumping off point to Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino.

I had a 40th birthday celebration at the Domenichelli House during the last weekend in June, 2007. Everything was perfect: The house. There are three very large and comfortable bedrooms upstairs as well as a den with large futon couch and a porch off of that. The master bedroom downstairs was massive and very comfortable. In my party we had 4 couples in the bedrooms and two kids on the futon couch. There is only one bathroom upstairs, but it is very large (it has a shower, double vanity, and a large whirlpool bathtub). All of my guests were really happy with the accomodations. The yard was probably my favorite part of the house. The pool is gated and has plenty of lawn furniture for sunning yourself. The hot tub was very easy to use and we took advantage of it every night. There is a large deck just off of the kitchen. We didn't eat a single meal inside the house. We could have, there was plenty of space in the dining room, but the porch was so spacious that we set up buffet tables (provided by the hosts) and easily sat 18 outside. It's difficult to describe how roomy this house is. There are two front rooms (one a sort of parlor and the other more ike a separate living room). We barely spent any time in those rooms since the outdoors was so appealing. Overall we found this to be a fantastic vacation rental. I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to just relax in a spacious, comfortable home.

Owner response:We are so glad that your birthday celebration turned out the way you wanted! We look foward to the possibilty of hosting you again.

The Domenichelli home was by far and away the most amazing vacation rental we've stayed in. The house is incredibly decorated and spacious, has beautiful landscaping, and has an amazing pool and hot tub. To top it off, the house is just a short walk to downtown Cloverdale and wonderful restaurants. I can't say enough good things about our experience!

Owner response:We are so glad you discovered our great town! Please come back soon! Thank you for the kind words. S & S

We had an absolutely fabulous stay at the Domenichelli Home in Cloverdale. We were a large group and were genuinely surprised with how well stocked the house was with bedding, towels, kitchen needs, etc. The owners went out of their way to help with wine tours, tastings, reservations, etc. The welcome wine, bread and cookies were truly appreciated. All in all it was a wonderful stay and we will definitely make it back up there soon.

Owner response:We are so glad that you were able to enjoy our wonderful home and local wineries. We look forward to seeing you again. S & S

We completely enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. Everything was perfect. The beds and bedding were all delicious. The kitchen was stocked with EVERYTHING you could ever need to prepare a major dinner. The owners were so generous and helped with everything from directions, to winery tours, dinner reservations and incredible babysitters! The location of the house was very central and close to everything. We fell in love with the charming town of Cloverdale and suppose we will never stay in Healdsburg again. It was so quiet and not crowded with tourists and buses. Very lovely. We have already re-booked a week for next summer!! ENJOY!!

Owner response:You guys were awesome! Thanks for the great review! Can't wait to see you next year. Will be waiting for those pickles! S & S
