Dry Creek Valley Home and Vineyard

This property was absolutely amazing. The home was more then we’ll appointed with antiques, comfortable seating, and more then ample dining space. For people who enjoy cooking, the kitchen could not have been better equipped. The best part of the experience was the outside seating areas and beautiful gardens. The pool and hot tub certainly put it over the top,

It’s a big house and a very cool property, lots of space. Definitely sleeps 8 but 4 have own rooms and other 4 bunk up in a smaller kids room so better for families or than for four couples. Everything in working condition and few things that weren’t the property manager addressed.

I stayed at the Barrel House with my wife and two other couples over President's Day weekend and we left our stay all in agreement that we'd like to stay at Barrel House again. The weather was not great so we could not spend much time outside, no fault of the property, but the grounds are beautiful and well maintained. We could only imagine how nice it must be in the warmer months around the pool. The bedrooms are all good size and the beds very comfortable. There are multiple zones for heating and cooling which means the entire house stays comfortable even when it's cold outside (it got down to the 30s when we were there). The family room with the fireplace is what we enjoyed the most. Six people could relax comfortably next to the fireplace which was really enjoyable after a day of wine tasting. We also enjoyed the kitchen/dining room setup and how open it was. The kitchen is stocked amazingly well with spices and cooking items.

The only minor critiques are that the ice/water machine in the kitchen refrigerator did not work so we had to buy bottled water. Not a big problem since we went to Big John's Market nearby for supplies everyday anyway, Also we wanted to sit outside around the fire pit one night but were told we could not turn it on for liability reasons. Was a little frustrating since that was one of the selling points of the house for us. We did really enjoy spending time by the fireplace inside though.

Overall, we had a wonderful time and plan to stay at Barrel House again.

Had an amazing time with our family staying here. Plenty of room, very well stocked home to cook dinner each night. Totally recommend!
