I just wanted to say that we thoroughly enjoyed the stay at Rio Vino over the Memorial Day weekend. The place was perfect! We definitely used the grill, so that was a plus for us. I would highly recommend your place to others. Great location, quiet and private, and simply, yet nicely decorated. I would stay there again. Thanks again!!

We had a wonderful time in Sonoma, and Riovino was a perfect place to stay. The home had everything that we needed. The BBQ was the perfect solution to dinner on a beautiful evening. The neighborhood is cute and the river was just a brief stroll away. Thank you so much for renting us your house and being so flexible with our accommodation dates and needs. We would recommend the house to friends and family, and come back again ourselves.

We had a wonderful time in Healdsburg and thought RioVino was great - everything about it! We are already looking forward to a return visit.

Riovino is a fabuluous place to stay. It is very well kept and very versatile. If you want romantic, its romantic...if you want a summery outdoors kind of place, it can be that too. Tucked away on the mountainside, its quiet but still close enough to town and the freeways to get to whatever your pleasure is. I would highly recommend it to anyone staying in or around Healdsburg.

We had a wonderful trip to Healdsburg, and we very much enjoyed staying at RioVino. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we expect that we will return again for another stay (or two, or three, availability permitting, of course). Everything was just perfect while we were there.I think I mentioned to you on the phone Saturday that it's quite apparent that you're running a very professional business. Everything that I experienced during the stay confirmed my initial sentiment. RioVino is well run, it's well kept, and it was a wonderful place to stay. We look forward to returning.

We had a perfect stay at your place; it's exactly what we all needed at the start of our holiday—homey, comfortable, relaxing, quiet, and well-situated. I particularly enjoyed having my name big as day near the parking spots, which was a helpful touch. The house was really nicely outfitted. Having rented other houses outside of the area, it was a pleasant surprise to find that you took the care to put in nice furnishings, beds, dishes, etc., and arrange them in an aesthetically pleasing way. Very, very nice job on the shower, and I'll also mention the nice toilet lest you think that such quality choices go unnoticed.Thanks again, most of all for being responsive and communicative. We appreciated it very much.

We had a great time at RioVino and Healdsburg. Your renovation of the house is positively wonderful. I'm a detail connoisseur much to the chagrin of my other half. LOL Awesome bathroom fit and finish. Beautiful wood flooring throughout. Smart and comfortable living room furniture and I love that fireplace! Bedroom is simple modern elegance. I could go on and on. Once again, we had an unforgettable time in the Sonoma County Wine Country and at RioVino.

Very well managed clean, newly decorated house with all amenities - a home from home. So much better than hotel accommodation. We loved it and I highly recommend.

We had a fantastic time! Your house was simply perfect. The beds were so comfortable that I slept great - and I'm not usually a good sleeper! It couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you so much. It was our first time to Headsburg, and I wouldn't be surprised if you hear from us again in the future. It was so beautiful, and we would never stay anywhere else!!

Myself and 3 friends had a fabulous stay at this newly decorated, well maintained house. It was so much better than a hotel. Everywhere was lovely and clean with all the amenities you could ask for - a home from home. The management was wonderful, a truly enjoyable experience from start to finish. I highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay! The place is really fantastic. We loved having such a fully stocked kitchen; the barbecue was a joy to have; finding a selection of oils, spices, etc above the stove was a plus; the linens and towels were lovely; everything was immaculate and tasteful. And your consideration to let us use the laundry was so accommodating - thanks!

We had an absolutely marvellous time in the area and we adored RioVino. While we would have been delighted to meet up you would probably have had to crowbar us out the house! We really thought it was a very special place indeed and we have every intention of returning next year around the same time if you'd have us back. RioVino was really perfect for our needs, especially with little Eloise. The BBQ and deck were especially great for us as we were able to cook for us after her bedtime and enjoy the outdoors (and of course the best of the wine we collected that day!). The recommendations were also terrific and extremely helpful. We visited a lot of wineries and a few local restaurants and all were terrific not to mention the fabulous scenery. Honestly.......we probably could gush for much longer but we fully hope to return and stay at RV once again if we're invited back! It was very tough to leave today!

We had an excellent trip! We drove in by dusk and the Healdsburg parade was wrapping up. The sign with my name and the arrow was awesome (i took a picture next to it). We found accomodations to be wonderfully cozy with all the modern amenities.

Just a note to say we had a wonderful time at RioVino. Wireless internet worked great! We really enjoyed the wine pairings that some of the wineries offered this year.

We had a great time in Healdsburg- loved your place, and the big tree across from the driveway! Had a great dinner at Zin, thanks for the recommendation. Thanks for your hospitality, Riovino was perfectly appointed, can't think of anything you missed. We especially liked all the books in the closet about the local area wineries, etc. Hope we can get down there again and when we do we'll be in touch.
