Stunning, Large, Beautifully Decorated Home in Downtown Lodi with Spa Amenities

Welcome to the Sideways House, named for its gracious entrance located on the side of the home, and a nod to the iconic movie that put wine tasting on the map.

Ample comfortable seating is provided and a flatscreen TV, and fireplace will help you feel right at home. The living room opens up into a fun bar area that also provides access to the outside eating area. The beautiful, large dining room seats 8. The kitchen is well equipped with new appliances. (The home can be stocked with groceries if so desired) A cute, sunny kitchen eating area welcomes you in and offers a wonderful view of the large yard, fish pond and bocce court.

There are four beautifully appointed bedrooms which accommodate up to eight guests. Fine linens, down comforters (Non down bedding may be requested), robes and comfortable beds await you. Each bedroom has a television, IHome alarm clock, luggage rack and at least two windows in each bedroom to let in the cool breeze or warm sunshine.

Lisa was incredible - my wife and several friends needed a place in Lodi that was spacious enough for the group, and central to desired experiences (i.e. food, wine, pampering). This checked all the boxes. We're so glad we found this place and highly recommend it to all who may be considering a visit to Lodi or the surrounding area. Great communication and overall experience!

There are so many things that stand out, from the just being super accommodating to how incredibly beautiful the place was! On top of that, I’ve been to places where there’s just 6 place settings, and the least possible of cookware, not here! You could literally have a few guests over or not do the dishes after each meal! And then there’s her scrumptious coffee cake plus half and half she left us. We truly felt we were staying at a friends home instead of a VRBO rental. Wish they were all like this!

Wonderful location with a thoughtful host

The house is beautiful. It has a wonderful location. The only drawback is that the backyard is the entrance to the day spa which means there is a lot of traffic and people walking through but the thoughtfulness of the host and the location and set up at the house, made it worth it.

Amazing place and location

Came here for a get away with a group of friends who I've know for over 40 years, we each had our own comfortable room, there was so much great socializing space, the house is beautiful and the location is so great--quiet yet close to lots of restaurants etc. We were greeted with a homemade cake, strawberries and wine, and the kitchen is so well stocked with everything. The check in and out was super easy and smooth. Lodi is a lovely town. My friends and I all loved it!
