This place is so lovely. Even better the pictures. Very quiet and perfect for us - 2 families. The best part for us was the yard with the fruit trees and getting to see so many stars at night. We hope it continues to be ok vrbo and we can book it again at some point.

Great place to get away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was great - great space for 2 families to spend time together. It was a bit difficult to find at night in the dark, but it is in a great location if you want some time away from busy daily life. A quick walk to a river area where kids can hang out.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 Dec, 2023

Glad you had a nice stay! It's a wonderful home. Sorry you got lost, the neighborhoods around here can be tricky at night. Best to follow the directions we sent you instead of GPS. We would love to host you again! Thanks, Stace

Family get-together

The house was perfect for our family weekend get-away. The rug in the dining area needs to be tacked down, since it's a tripping hazard. We didn't spend much time in the game room, since we were out enjoying the wineries each day. Plus, it was raining the day we arrived and you need to go outside to access the game room. Would definitely come back again in warmer weather.

Surrounded by trees

We enjoyed our stay in the house tucked away in the trees. We are from AZ so it was nice to be surrounded by nature. It has a beautiful deck, but it was raining the week we were here, so we couldn’t enjoy it or the fire table. This house would be fun to stay in during the summer because it’s close to the river. It has a great open floor plan and had everything we needed. We couldn’t use the game room downstairs in the garage because it was so cold, but again, this would be a great family house in warmer weather. I highly recommend it.

Starry nights

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent several nights at Starry Nights. The home was gorgeous! The home had beautiful dinnerware and quality cooking pans. The furnishings were comfortable and beautiful! It was only the 2 of us but this home would work for a family of six. The neighborhood was fun to walk and the home was centrally licated to take in local food and wineries.

Russian River

Very nice home, clean, comfortable beds, the only thing I didn’t understand was the three cars maximum in the driveway…the driveway is huge and could have very easily accommodated four to five cars. I brought my 12 passenger Van plus two other cars were parked in driveway and it still had room for two more cars..

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is perfect for two families or bringing along the grandparents. it is super clean and newly remodeled with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Plenty of kitchen wear in great shape and the fire pit and BBQ were wonderful. We had a great time playing foosball and ping pong in the garage and the river floats were pumped up and ready to go. It is a great float leaving from Steelhead and stopping at Mom’s beach nearby where you can walk back to the house. We will definitely return again!

Well appointed house in an established neighborhood. My bed was comfy and had plenty of pillows. Large backyard but noise ordanance won't allow late night use. Could use a deep clean as it was really dusty and some spider control is needed. This home is on the market and it showed. Some fixtures are loose. The dishwasher is terrible and the vent hood fan does not work. It was spacious and met our needs as it was close to family. Vendor communication was adequate but nothing special. For the price per night it was underwhelming.
