Stefi is amazing! This property is gorgeous and one can quickly realize how much work has been conducted to make this truly a paradise. So many peaceful settings (I call them little oasis!) Beautiful porches (several with much seating) and everyone loved the hot tub and the pool. Thank you, Stefi. We will be returning in the future! This property would be great for small church women or men's gathering and for youth groups!
Lovely place to stay. Not to far from town. Cuts out the hustle and bussel. Would definitely love to rent again in the summer time so we could use the pool. Only recommendations would be better hand rails going from office door to the hot tub.
Check in was easy. Stefi met us at the location and gave us a tour of the house and gave directions on some of the amenities. We loved our time at Vacation Paradise. Very relaxing and enjoyed the pool.
Host was very helpful and answered call immediately or needed. The house has everything you can need to enjoy yourself. Only used the kingg bed and it was extremely comfortable.
I stayed here for five days while recovering from nose surgery, and it was the perfect place to relax. The home was spotless and full of thoughtful touches — the pool, hot tub, adjustable bed, and massage chair made a big difference in my comfort. Great value, quiet, and very relaxing. Stefi is a fabulous hostess as well, she’s very attentive and quick to respond. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed our stay at this house. It is a very unique house(in a good way). It has everything you would need and more for a home away from home. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and the massage chair the most.
Great place for the kids with lots of outdoor space/activities at the home and convenient to explore the local state parks and wineries. House has everything you could need and slept our crew of 6 comfortably. Stefi was there in person to check us in and was easy to contact.
Stefi, has created a perfect getaway. She has thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. She was easy to communicate with and available for any questions. Would recommend to anyone

Thank you Bethann,it was a pleasure to host you,welcome back
From check in to check out everything was seamless. The house and grounds were beautiful, there is even a kiwi tree! My family loved the gym (especially the exercise swing) and the kitchen had everything we needed. So much care and attention to detail by the owner. We will definitely be back!
Just completed our stay at Stefis paradise retreat. If you're looking to relax and unwind, take in the beauty of the mountains and nature, soak in a hot tub under the stars or just relax around a peacful water fountain then paradise retreat is for you. We took advantage of everything Stefi offered.it is only a 15 min drive to Mayberry and Mt. Airy for shopping and dining. The gym was great i used the massage chair and sauna so relaxing. There was every piece of workout equipment you could think of also a tanning bed. The house is cozy with space for all even kids. If you have pets they will love the very large yard. Host was great and easy to work with. The pool was closed for season but we did use Zip line. House well stocked with everything you need robes cookware flatwear. The one thing i loved and most people wouldnt notice right away is the white noise machine. Helps to relax. We will be returning in the spring or early summer to unwind at the paradise retreat. Thank you for a great retreat Stefi.

Thank you so much Ken. My guest's satisfaction is my greatest reward. You mentioned a white "noice " machine,and I guess you are refering to my PEMF mavhine Terra P90 in the Gym,which works with electromagnetc waves and have to be used only with bare feet. My bad I did not put the instructions and the benefits about it in the Gym. Here is to name a few
PEMF Reduces inflammation
• Stimulating cellular activity: PEMF therapy works by stimulating cellular activty
Enhancing circulation
Reducing oxidative stress
Enhancing immune function
You are always welcome back!!!
This place has everything! All the amenities are wonderful ! It is a great place to relax or be active…..all without having to leave the house. For an extended stay or if you just like to cook, Stefi’s kitchen has any equipment you need to prepare anything. We stay in a lot of VRBO’s and this had all the conveniences we have at home...plus ! The longer you can stay…..the better !

Thank you so much Shirley and Jeff. You are always welcome back. It was a pleasure to have you as my guests!!!
This was exactly what we were looking for. Something close to home, private, with a view and some water. They yard was like a little resort, so beautiful and private. Lots of sitting areas to enjoy, while listening to the many fountains all around. My Grandson so enjoyed the pool as we all did. Stefi was very nice and supplied us with all of our needs.

thank you so much Larry. I appreciate the way you left the house and respecting all rules, welcome back
My teen grandaughter and her BF were occupied with something any time we were at the house. The zipline across the the yard, over the pool was the coolest. I enjoyed the quiet backyard. We were no more than 30 min. away from anything we were looking to do.

Im glad you enjoyed your stay. did you get your package
It’s like your very own secluded island in the middle of wine country. Literally no one around for at least 1-2 acres. You would have to stay in a big resort WITHOUT any privacy to get the same access to pool, hot tub, complete gym with sauna & tanning bed. I was going to sleep in the massage chair until I discovered the adjustable king bed with head & foot massage options!! Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again for our getaway.

Thank you so much Robert.Im so happy that you enjoyed your stay. You are very welcome back
Beautiful home. It's an oasis. This was my first time renting a house. I wish i had rented it for a longer stay. The grounds are beautiful. We got to feed the fish. The pool was perfect. We even used the gym and the tanning bed. The massage chair was very relaxing. My 4 year old just loved running around the yard. It's almost endless. Thank you for having us. I hope you will let us rent again.

Thank you Alicia for being my guest and for keeping my home like your own. You are always welcome back
Traveled with my husband and 9 month old. We made sure to bring our own play pen and crib because we don’t expect places to be equipped for babies. The master bedroom had a very comfortable bed and was equipped with comfortable sheets and many blankets if you need them. The shower had great pressure and got really hot which I really appreciated. The house is stocked with everything you could ever want and more, including gym, sauna, hot tub, great yard. We enjoyed bringing our baby around the yard to show him different plants and the unique decor items. We all enjoyed sitting on the porch for meals. 15 minutes to pilot mountain and 38 minutes to hanging rock. This was a great place for our needs.

thank you Jesse, you are great guests and are always welcome back!!
Stefi was great; she showed me around and explained how everything worked upon arrival. We had a great time hosting a party for my sister until the storm came thru around 5:15 and we lost power. We contacted the power company and they said it would be hours before the power was back on so we left due to it being so hot. We went home and returned the next day to clean up and get our belongings. We all enjoyed the pool and all the other outdoor activities. If you are a nature lover, then you will love this place. House was clean. The exercise room was a big hit for everyone.
