Nice house, close to Santa Rosa

The place was well kept, with a nice backyard and hot tub. Gary was a very receptive host, who supplied a lot of info on wineries and places to eat. He was quick to reply to messages. The neighborhood is quiet and not far from downtown Santa Rosa. Would stay here again!

Amazing property & host for a Sonoma County family stay!

We traveled to Santa Rosa for a family wedding in Sonoma County and needed a base of operations for just over a week. This property was exactly what we needed—a safe (albeit somewhat "high-density housing") neighborhood, with plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably, space for me to work while the family played, and a well-appointed kitchen we could use to keep from having to dine out for every meal. The host was amazing from start to finish! Ample & open communication leading up to our stay, and then very accommodating with information once we were checked in. And just a note on the neighborhood. While the neighborhood was definitely along the high-density housing lines, we had ample parking during our stay...and plenty of privacy, too. Overall, an amazing property in a great location in a beautiful part of a beautiful state.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Bortner

Host profile image
I'm from the Midwest originally. Then moved to Northern California, then moved back to the Midwest for work with a short detour on the East Coast (DC). I'm in MN now. Nice people, but the winter sucks, so I'm working my way back to CA. Currently, I live here in the winter, and rent the house out the rest of the year (so this is my house and not just a rental).

Why they chose this property

I picked Santa Rosa because it's the largest town in the area and has the most stuff to do.
I picked this neighborhood because it's close to town, and has easy access to restaurants, breweries, and 101.

What makes this property unique

I think being close to stuff is a standout. I live here part year and it's what attracted me. The house is nicely laid out and has everything you need while on vacation - Central air, deck, hot tub, etc. As a smaller property, I am able to offer an in town location at a lower price than other, larger 4 bedrooms.
