California Community College Swim Championships

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.

Perfect Venue for Family Thanksgiving meal

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

Backyard Oasis Close to Everything!

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.

Quaint & Perfect

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.

Rosy in Santa Rosa!

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.❤️

Charming house, great location

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
