About this property

Casa de Gamay: Your Home Away From Home

Casa de Gamay is not just a house with a bedroom and a kitchen, our hope is that it is your home while you are away from home. We've strove to include all the amenities one would need while on the road and many you may not have thought about.

Start with a complete kitchen with a few items ready to cook for that last minute dinner. We have the spices and staples to help you create a marvelous meal. Take a look at the pictures to see examples of what may be available.

Invite your friends, we have place settings for 12 people. Enjoy a bottle of specialized wine as a sample of our local wineries.

Sit down next to our gas fireplace (started with a push of a button on the remote control) and watch cable TV (Comcast with a voice controlled remote), DVD player, Netflix.

Do you need to work? Use the pop-up coffee table as your workstation, work next to the fireplace, plug your Iphone into the big screen TV And have a zoom meeting. We have the fastest wireless available on AT&T.

Did you come with an electric vehicle? Now you can charge your car in our garage with our charging station.

Going to the river? Use our blowup rafts and safety vests.
Are the kids bored? We have toys for both boys and girls aged from 1 to 12. A stroller for the toddler, pop-up crib, booster seat, and if we didn't think of it, give us a call, I'm sure we have something you can use.

For those who collect State and National Park quarters, you will find a large pile of quarters to sort through. I used to collect State quarters and was always frustrated because I could only find Denver Mint quarters. People on the East Coast would have the same problem, but could only fine Philadelphia quarters. Now you can go through a pile and take what you want and leave some for others to find! The quarters can be found in the coffee table. If you find the quarters, you learn the secret of the coffee table! It's really cool!

Kids bored? Have a Nerf war with 8 guns and hundreds of bullets. Or try to find the 20+ hidden treasures located around the house. Things like:
> An old man making bubbles in the bathtub.
> A fidget spinner.
> A heart shaped rock.
> Reading glasses with headlamps.
> A dog wearing glasses.
> A cat in a box.
> Blue eggs.
> Two doves kissing.

Bring the dog! We have a dog bed with doggy treats.

Casa de Gamay is located on the west side of Santa Rosa just a couple of miles from dozens of local specialized wineries. Take a walk in the Redwood trees of Armstrong Grove, just 30 minutes away. Visit our beautiful coast line.

If we haven't thought of your specific need, give us a call, we live only a 5 minute walk away from the house. It's important to us you have a great time here.

We make things easy with our keyless entry. We hope to see you soon.

Perfect, warm, & welcoming...a home away from home.
This home went beyond our expectations. The hosts were communicative and responsive to questions, the house was spacious enough for my husband and me, plus our young adult children and their partners, with comfy beds and plenty of bedding (two on a fold-out with a comfy mattress topper provided), and immaculately clean. The hosts provided so many surprises - pantry staples, frig staples, freshly baked cookies(!), snacks, wine, and so much more. The garage was stocked with river rafts, toys, laundry, etc. The wifi worked great - I had a work meeting and sat on the lovely back patio. We went to Sonoma State Beach and also had a fabulous meal in Healdsburgh. Quiet neighborhood- everything was perfect. Thank you, Larry and Wanda! We had a great trip and would choose your home again.

About the host

Hosted by Wanda and Larry Lapeere

Host profile image
Wanda and I retired this year. Wanda is a nurse and I worked at Keysight Technologies. We travel a lot, and when we do, we always book a vacation rental either through VRBO or AirBNB. We always appreciate it when hosts go the extra mile for us, so we know how it nice it is when it's done correctly.
It has always been our dream to host our own vacation rental. We want to do as much for our guests as we can without getting in their ways. With that said, we have only one rental, so you are our focus. It is our goal to make your stay as convenient and comfortable as possible. If we overlooked anything, we want to hear about it. Again, we don't want to get in your way of having a relaxing vacation, but we want to make sure everything in the house works to your satisfaction.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a property near our house. We looked for a couple of months, but when we stepped in Casa de Gamay, we knew this was the place for us. It is literally a five minute walk away from us (convenient for guests who need help or services).
The look and feel of the house is the best. It has an open plan with a great kitchen. The big screen, fireplace provides a very warm and romantic feel for your stay.
Eat the food. The pantry is full, the refrigerator is full, the freezer if full. The food is there for you and and your family. All you need to buy is perishables like meat and vegetables. We provide everything else.
Eat the food.

What makes this property unique

Large open area in the house is great for large gatherings. A nice area in the patio with the BBQ to take advantage of those nice warm summer evenings. Have everyone gather around to watch a movie from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime. If nothing can be found there, then open the closet to look through the hundreds of DVDs available.
Quiet neighborhood, close to groceries, banks, and restaurants (walking distance in most cases).
We've tried to provide you with all the amenities you could find in your own house. Tweezers in the drawer, extra batteries, 1 ounce energy drinks (for the long drive), laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, tools in the garage, toys for the kids, and a Treasure Hunt for the older kids to keep them occupied. If they still get bored, tell them to have a Nerf war, there is a basket of Nerf guns and bullets in the garage. If you have it in your house, we have it in our house. If we don't, we want to hear about it so it will be there the next time you arrive.
We don't give you "Just enough" for your stay. If you have a need and you can't find it in the house, give us a call and we will tell you where it is. If it's not there, we will bring it over.
We truly want this to be your "Home away from home."
