**Hot Tub & Hosting Information**
This home includes a hot tub for your enjoyment. A $100 hot tub usage fee (listed under the “Resort” category) helps cover maintenance to ensure the tub is clean and ready for your stay.

Thank you so much! I’m so glad the home had everything you needed and that you enjoyed your time in wine country. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime!
Our stay was very pleasant. The neighbourhood is beautiful. The house has enough room for all 8 of my family members and there was a lot to do around. Cynthia and her team were very responsive and even delivered extra garbage bags to the home when I couldn't find them.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed your rental experience. If there's anything more we can do to enhance your stay next time, please don't hesitate to let us know. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!
What a wonderful place to call home while on vacation!!!! Cynthia and staff are amazing and added so much to our stay. Make sure you experience the Barn tasting…it was the highlight of our trip. Property is exactly as described and the location is perfect.

Elizabeth and her group were absolute dream guests! They treated our home with the utmost care and left everything spotless. It was a pleasure hosting them, and we were thrilled that they took advantage of our wine tasting and rosé packages, which they enjoyed with enthusiasm. Communication was smooth and easy throughout their stay, and they were so respectful of our property. We would welcome Elizabeth and her group back anytime and highly recommend them to any host!
Stayed at this house for4 nights… in town for a niece’s wedding in Healdsburg. There were 8 adults and we had plenty of room… great location etc. Would recommend.

We stayed for a bachelorette trip with five women. The house was great, plenty of room, large kitchen for cooking and comfortable couch for hanging out chatting. Very close to all of the wineries we wanted to visit as well! Grocery store close by also.

I'm glad to hear you had a wonderful weekend in Windsor! It sounds like the space was perfect for your family gathering, offering both comfort and proximity to attractions. Thanks for the recommendation!
The house allowed for each of the golfing buddies to have their own rooms. Location was centrally located to enjoy 2 full days of golf in Windsor and Santa Rosa. Will definitely recommend to our friends and family.

We enjoyed excellent communications with the owner's rep, and discovered a generously sized home with quality fixtures and furniture, a well-laid-out back yard for a grilled dinner, a FULLY-equipped kitchen with virtually every tool or utensil you can imagine, and generous provisions provided by the owners (a bottle of their own winery's wine, access the most complete and sophisticated spice cabinet I've ever seen in a rental, and
a generous supply of excellent breakfast cereals. It was a lovely stay.

This house is conveniently located in the Russian River area of Northern California. Close to the beach and close to all the wine meccas. Lovely park for children to play and ride bikes. Kitchen is well stocked. Easy to do our own meals. 5 bedrooms!

The house is great and home owner very responsive. We enjoyed the home, however the weather got into the 90’s and there is no air conditioning. We did open windows and doors that helped with air flow. Overall a good experience

I'm delighted to hear that you found the house enjoyable.
It's understandable that the high temperatures posed a challenge without air conditioning, but I'm glad to know that you were resourceful in improving air circulation by opening windows and doors.
Your overall positive experience shines through, and I hope you created wonderful memories during your stay!
This home is huge and had everything we needed. There were 6 of us women and we each had our own bedroom. We are a sewing group and we get together every year like this. There is some small scuffs on the walls that could use new paint but that did not take away from our trip. The home is beautiful and has a nice sitting area in the back yard. We would stay again. Thank you Cynthia.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that our spacious home provided everything you needed for your sewing group's annual gathering. While we'll make sure to address those scuffs on the walls, we're glad they didn't detract from your trip. It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the beautiful home and the cozy sitting area in the backyard. I am grateful for your kind words and look forward to hosting your group again in the future. Until next time, happy sewing!
Lovely home with just what we need - 5+ bedrooms! Quiet, residential neighborhood close to everything: parks, grocery shopping, Hwy 101. Do not miss the opportunity for a VIP wine tasting at the home owner's vineyard. We were blown away by the hospitality, amazing view from the winery's deck and delicious wines. This was an unexpected highlight of the weekend. We will return soon - it's close to where we live in SF Bay area but feels world's away with all the wine country has to offer.

My family (an under 1, two 3 year olds, an 8 and 11 year old and 6 adults) stayed at the house so we could all be together for an long wedding weekend. Great location, easy to run back and forth to the brides home and venue. House was clean and had lots of kitchen extras. Plenty of clean linens, extra blankets and space for everyone. The neighborhood was safe and parking ample for our family. Only issue we had for the upstairs bath worked as a shower for not a bath for the littles. Will check availability on this house when we visit the area again.

We're so glad you had a great stay and thank you for your positive review. Your feedback helps us continue to provide excellent experiences for our guests.
This home is very clean and comfortable. Real plus is the 6 bedrooms. Good location, very close to shopping, restaurants and Starbucks. Nice neighborhood, felt very safe. I'm only giving it a 4 star rating because communication with the host was disappointing. It took 1 VRBO message and 1 phone call to receive our check-in instructions - 24 hours prior to check-in. Took 3 hours to fix a smoke detector beeping every 5 minutes. She also didn't respond to a message requesting reservations at their winery, so we missed the special wine tasting she was offering. Otherwise, we really enjoyed this home.

Items need attention
While overall we had a good stay there were some issues that prompted the 3 star review. The listing shows this home as very glamorous when in reality it needs some TLC. Living room windows didnt lock. More thorough cleaning of downstairs bath was needed. Bedroom smoke alarm started chirping in the early morning hours. I see another review where this happened. Batteries should be replaced in all alarms. Written instructions for the home and checkout instructions would be helpful. and placed at the home is needed.

Thank you for your honest feedback! We’re glad to hear that you had an overall good stay, but we truly appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. Your experience is important to us, and we’ll make sure to address these issues promptly, from the smoke alarm batteries to the cleaning and home instructions.
If you ever choose to stay with us again, we’ll go the extra mile to ensure your visit is nothing short of extraordinary. We’d love the opportunity to provide you with the five-star experience you deserve! 🌟😊
We spent a long weekend here for a family 'Girls Weekend.' We chose the house because it was reasonably priced, had bedrooms for each woman, and was located near some of the wineries we wanted to visit. The home was easy to get in and out of, very clean, and just what we were looking for.
Only drawbacks are there were some minor maintenance issues, although all noted by the owners as 'to be fixed' and the TV was quite complicated for anyone over the age of 25 to operate (remote was an X-Box controller and there were no instructions on how to use it), and did not include any network TV channels (only Netflix streaming).
Also worth noting, this is not the house for you if you're looking for a lavish back yard. There IS a back yard, but it is dirt/ weeds and a folding table and chairs. Not an issue for us, but worth noting for others who may be hoping for more outdoor space. :-)
Overall, this home was as-advertised, and for the price, met our expectations. Thank you!

Thank you Rebecca for the kind review. We since then removed the Xbox controllers and converted to a normal remote control. Also, the outdoor space has since then been stripped from the weeds and the shed. You can now have a very clear garden as we look for a landscape design.
This property is large and centrally located in Sonoma county. It gave our family a great place to use as home base for day trips to San Francisco, Napa, and Bodega Bay.
