About this property

Updated Vintage Farmhouse -- walking distance to stores, dining & wine tasting

Enjoy a leisurely walk to the town of Boonville for morning coffee at the Mosswood Café, the Farmer's Market or dinner at the Lauren’s Pub or the Boonville Hotel from the charming Tolman House, located approx. 1/2mile south of town on Highway 128.
The Tolman House was built in the late 1800's. The 3 -bedroom, 2-bath house boasts a large lot with a lawn and picnic/barbeque area and completely fenced outdoor space. It is dog friendly. (max 2dogs).There is one king bed, one queen bed, one double bed, central heating and air, a full kitchen with a dining nook, living room and a sunny banquette seating area. One bathroom is new and modern, with a shower, while the other is original, with a claw foot bathtub, located off the master bedroom. The house is the perfect size for two or three couples or a family. It sleeps 6 people.

The Tolman House is superbly located as a base for exploring Anderson Valley and the Mendocino Coast. It is within 300 ft. of 2 wine tasting rooms and Pennyroyal goat cheese farm/tasting and 1/2 mile from dining, shopping, and a microbrewery. In 15 minutes you can be hiking among the redwoods in Hendy Woods State Park. Drive 30 minutes to the Navarro beach or 50 minutes to the picturesque village of Mendocino. Another 15 minutes and you can be at Ft. Bragg--catching The Skunk Train or looking for treasures at Glass Beach. You can also just relax at the picnic table and gaze at the hills of Anderson Valley and the Pinot Noir grapevines that surround you.

**The Tolman House is only available for rent to Foursight Wines club members during the annual Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Festival, usually held the third weekend in May.

Wonderful Family Weekend!
The house was charming, very comfortable and cool in the high heat. It had everything we needed for cooking and eating. We also enjoyed the Four Sight Winery and we hope to return in the coming months! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Dog-friendly farmhouse
This was our second time staying at Nancy’s place. It is a lovely farmhouse with vintage kitchen, bordering a sheep pasture and Foursight Winery’s vines. We love it for the easy walk to town and tasting rooms, and our dog Luna loved it for the large fenced meadow and excitement of seeing sheep. Nancy is super respectful of privacy, but when we needed help with the barbecue they were there within five minutes to help. Note that does sit on Highway 128–like most of Boonville—so you will hear some traffic noise. Otherwise, a quiet, magical place to relax.

Winter in Boonville
Staying at this property was very interesting. It is accurately described in the online listing and as it turns out, is the oldest residence in Anderson Valley. It's like staying in Grandma's house, cozy and vintage.

Fair fun
We have stayed here for the past three years. Easy for my elderly mother as it’s all on one level and close to the show ring at the fair where we show our livestock. It’s a win win for us😊

We loved this place so much!
I honestly don’t think the photos do this place justice. It is so much sweeter In Real Life. The beds are amazingly comfortable, and the whole farmhouse vibe is just perfect. It’s on the main road which isn’t for everyone, but we didn’t mind. The owners are incredibly helpful and responsive. We were all ready to move in! We’ll be back!

Alexander Valley Idyll
Small, old-fashioned, cozy farmhouse right in Boonville. Convenient to wineries, restaurants, and Hendy Woods. Although the property is right on the main road (128) it wasn't noisy at night and you stop hearing the traffic noise during the day. Plenty of shade, as well as sun, and some sheep to enjoy. We had a lovely time . Beds were comfortable, cooling system worked well. Very satisfied.

Perfect Boonville landing spot!
We feel so lucky to have found this sweet home in Boonville! It’s a great location and so charming and well-appointed. Nancy was so attentive to any minor issues we had, which are to be expected in such an old home. The size and space was perfect for us and our dog enjoyed visiting with the sheep :). We’ll be back again and again when we visit my sister and her family, who live down the road.

Adorable house in a great location
We stayed at Tolman House for a long weekend in order to attend a wedding nearby. The house is very adorable, has everything you could need, and the location is fantastic. Boonville has a lot to discover itself, and you are fairly close to Hendy Woods, Navarro, and the coast. The beds are extremely comfortable, the grill worked great, and we enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the porch each morning. My daughter especially loved seeing the sheep outside the dining area window each morning. You can't go wrong with this house and location.

My weekend in Mendocino County
We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable country home with all the conveniences of home. It has a great porch and yard - so you have good privacy. A very well appointed kitchen. Lots of art work to make the home very warm. Very good heating. Very nice and large home. Things to be aware of - it is adjacent to the road - so there is some traffic noise but very little at night. Overall very clean, comfortable, welcoming and spacious. We had a very nice visit. Thank you.

“Third Time is not only the Charm” - It was totally wonderful
Our after Christmas stay at “The Tolman” house was again very relaxing and fun. The rain didn’t dampen our spirits and wine tastings were just as enjoyable during the storms. House was just as clean and comfy as our last 2 stays. Nancy was as responsive to emails as before. Everything worked, water was hot, we have learned how to sign into our home cable aps for shows, enjoyed our afternoon reading time and Tara loves the large yard. The five-course dinner at the Boonville Hotel was superb. Don’t forget to do a tasting at Foresight Wines, where Joe will impart his knowledge and passion for the land and wine. We will be back for a fourth stay in the future.
