This is a very well maintained property with many great amenities. It is close to the town of Sonoma but still in an area that gives one the feeling of being in the countryside (there are neighbors, but also quite a bit of vineyards/ farmland nearby, for instance). There's a pool that can be on the cool side, as it is in the shade. We didn't pay extra to heat it, but I would imagine one would want to depending on weather. We don't usually rent in this part of Sonoma, and I probably wouldn't again but for some visitors, being such a drive close to town and its restaurants would probably be a plus. Note that typically, there's a very early checkout and a late-ish check in, which might bother some people, given the price. I can imagine that the early checkout is because big properties require more time to clean up between guests, but still. In our case, because of a booking error and an online doctor's appointment that I couldn't miss, we didn't actually check out so early, and the owner was very accommodating as it was she who made the error. Also note that we were a bit anxious going into this because the owners are very picky and both warn and ask questions in advance about how their property will be treated. I get it. In fact, it's the reason that we don't rent either our own home, or our vacation home. But it does feel a bit awkward. That said, once we were there, we felt relaxed and we really enjoyed the place.
