We enjoyed our stay here. It would be better if each bedroom was set up for adults, not children. It was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed. A hot tub would be areal plus for this home. Good location for all the wineries and farms we visited. Thanks

Top notch! Home is beautifully appointed, squeaky-clean, spacious, and sits in a nice private spot right in the heart of the wine-trail. Our family was there for a fishing trip, and easily parked two boats in the driveway. Host is wonderful, and even took the time to add some thoughtful extras. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again - it's a winner!!
