Although I gave an excellant review the manual referred to the smoke alarms in the main sitting area and how they might go off if using the sauna in the bathroom unless you closed the door to the hallway. However, the smoke alarm was missing from it's spot. There was 1 in down the hall near the bedroom. The handle to the front door was also loose and fell off several times when closing the door. Otherwise, the home and surrounding property were beautiful and we enjoyed the stay!

It was better than I expected. The property is even more beautiful and relaxing than the pictures indicate. Pool and hot tub were both great. Property owner was very attentive and left lots of yummy snacks for us hungry travelers. We usually stay in the city at a high end hotel, but I’m definitely coming back the next time we’re in the area.

We had a wonderful stay at Vicki's retreat. Very quiet area with wonderful views. The hot tub and pool were an added bonus that we took advantage of to relax. The location was great for us to visit San Fran and Napa during our stay. It was also just up the hill from downtown restaurants and shops. The home was clean and well equipped for us to prepare our own meals. Vicki was very responsive to any of our needs or questions. We will definitely return when we come back to the area.

Great Stay

Amazing location and quiet! Close enough to San Francisco (about 45 minute drive) to enjoy the sites during the day and enjoy a quiet evening/night away from the hustle and bustle. Relaxing in the hot tub and the shower/sauna at the end of the day was amazing! Vicki was very attentive to any questions we had prior and during our stay.
