The entire process; from communicating with Dave to solidify the reservation, the information we received in advance of our stay, the stay, and the follow-up; of renting Wolf Glen was excellent.
The cliff notes version:
Dave is thoughtful, responsive, and communicative. The house is clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything Glen Ellen visitors might need. The kitchen was amazing – several of our party oohed and aahed at the selection of spices, vinegars, and balsamics. The location of the house was perfect – plenty of parks to explore, beautiful countryside to run/bike through and, of course, wineries to visit. I would highly recommend Wolf Glen!
The more detailed version:
My fiancé and I wanted to host a joint Thanksgiving/Birthday party over the holiday. My whole family came from the East Coast and abroad. We wanted to make their trip worth their while. In advance of renting Wolf Glen, Dave let us stop by to visit the house. We loved meeting him. (Side note: Dave volunteered to help us in anyway he could with our wedding planning for the following summer before he knew whether or not we were actually going to rent the property. It was not one of those idle promises, we spoke with Dave several times about our wedding. It demonstrated of the kind of gesture that seems common for Dave.) Our visit to the property confirmed our desire to rent Wolf Glen.
Wolf Glen was perfect for my family of 8 (7 adults and one toddler). Several of the closets are huge, so we put a pack in play in one of the closets and voila, my nephew had his own room. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 with their own bathrooms and 2 that share a bath. The beds and linens are extremely comfortable. The house has a very open concept, which meant the toddler could run around and we always knew where he was. The continuity between the kitchen and the living space allows for the cooks and the not so culinary inclined to still get some time together.
The house was a great, central home base. People continuously popped out and popped back throughout the day. Its central location made it easy to drop by quickly if something was forgotten or sit for ten minutes before the next activity began. While I did not go to watch TV, they did have the premium cable package. My fiancé and I tried to steal some time away to catch up on season 2 of Homeland to no avail. We did, however, have access to every Thanksgiving football we wanted to watch.
Bottom line: I highly recommend Wolf Glen!
