We had a lovely stay at the house. It’s a perfect size for four people and our dog. The house is charming, and we loved how it was fully enclosed for our dog and toddler. The bonus for us was the hot tub and a gas fireplace. Would definitely stay here again if in Santa Rosa.

Thank you for choosing my house for your stay. Im very happy you were able to take advantage of the hot tub fireplace and solid fencing for your entire family including canine.
Your family is welcome to return.
Property was an amazing location, very walkable to downtown. It was fully gated in a safe neighborhood and the fact the yard was fully fenced in made letting the dog out really easy. Super comfortable beds and great communication from the host.

Thank you for choosing my property for your stay also thank you for leaving it in great shape.
I welcome your return.
Cynthia’s home was in a very quiet neighborhood not far from everything we wanted to do and close to some really great restaurants. She was also very communicative and check in/out was a breeze.

Loved the vintage home. The gas stove was fantastic for cooking our holiday meal. The host has everything you would ever need or want and then some for having a home away from home vaca. Beds super comfy. Back yard was perfect for the grandkids to run around and jacuzzi with their Dad. Warm, and cozy house. Highly recommend to anyone for romantic get away or family gathering
We came to Santa Rosa for swim championships at Santa Rosa Junior College. The house is just a 10 minute walk from the college, so plenty of stores and restaurants within the area. The house is lovely with its 1940 charm and well maintained. The backyard has a nice sitting area that we enjoyed during breaks in the swim meet.. The location is perfect for anyone traveling to graduation or sporting events at Santa Rosa Junior College or Santa Rosa High School. Cynthia is a terrific host and very prompt with communication.
The location of this residence is excellent! Close to everything! The only thing better than the location is that backyard! Well maintained and peaceful, we spent all our time there!The house is stocked with all the common needs but I would plan to buy all perishables.I deeply appreciate that this rental is owned by a local resident. She is charming and relatively accommodating herself.To note some items: There isn’t a dishwasher and we did pull out pans, cups, flatware and plates during our stay that were still dirty. We also noticed that the down blanket in the master had stains and the quilt cover in the back bedroom had what looked to be a blood stain on it. My biggest compliant was that the place felt a bit dirty. Within 30 minutes of walking in the door our first night, our socks were grey and full of dog hair. I could visibly see hair and dust lining the room. The pillows on the seats in the living room were hairy and stained as well. The pump soap in the bathrooms were watered down. Lastly, we were politely asked to water the plants and take the trash bins out to the curb for pickup. I assume that if we had had a problem with this at all, Cynthia would have been able to make other arrangements, but we were fine doing both. All in all, we really loved this home. My 6-year-old loved it so much, he asked several times a day for the entire week if we could add the home to his gift list! Hopefully, we’ll get to come back soon.

Charlotte,
Thank you for choosing my house for your stay. Id like to address your observations some specific and some in general. I pride myself on all things related to cleanliness and will make changes based on your feed back.
I would like to say when people stay thru a Tuesday the garbage needs to be put to the curb Mon eve I will add it on the listing since it seems to be missing. I buy a liquid soap from trader Joes and refill but never thin it out. I make special accommodations for my guest and occasionally will ask for a small favor the example here was I just put in 4 tomato plants and rather than be intrusive and come over to water I asked if you wouldn't mind albeit a bit unconventional. When I have veggies I let my guests harvest them while they are here.
I love that your son enjoyed my house and please return for a refreshed version of the oasis.
Cynthia has made sure her guests have everything they need to enjoy their stay at their fingertips. We lacked for nothing. The amenities provided were generous and the house was spotless. We enjoyed a day out at local wineries and a superb meal at The Bird and Bottle in SR. Wow! Fab day! At night we gathered in the yard to further our wine research and enjoy the gorgeous weather and then we moved in to watch tennis in the lounge. Just awesome. If we find ourselves back nearby again, we will definitely book with Cynthia again.❤️
I enjoyed my stay at this house a lot. The neighborhood’s mostly quiet and minutes away from downtown Santa Rosa. Drive a little further and you’re within range of excellent wineries in the Sonoma and Russian River valleys. There’s also a nice back yard for relaxing, a well-appointed kitchen, and comfortable living room. The air conditioning units, though a bit noisy, did a great job of keeping the place cool. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m staying in wine country.

About the host
Hosted by Cynthia Larkin
Iv'e been a hair dresser for most of my life. As a second career I began working with dogs. I became very fond of the bully breeds and started up a rescue call Bully Dog Planet and did this for 18 years. My daughter and her family live in Chicago and I visit there often and stay at this house part time. Living here part time allows me to upgrade and maintain my property for my guests.
Why they chose this property
When I first moved to this area I looked around a lot and fell in love with this district. I choose this area as I love older homes and closer to everything.
What makes this property unique
Easy to find, sweet neighborhood and walkable. The inside is clean and always upgraded and well maintained.
It's Easy access to 101 to Healdsburg, Napa, Gurneville, the coast aka Hwy 1, Bodega Bay, Marin, San Francisco
