This home is lovely and ideal for hosting a family gathering. We booked for a Pacific University graduation celebration. VERY comfortable kitchen, living room, bathrooms, and deck areas on the first floor for hosting grandparents, parents, extended family, the graduates and a few of their friends. EXTREMELY well accommodated kitchen for hosting a large group. I thought I was going to need to go purchase cheap trays/serving dishes for our event - this kitchen has VERY NICE serving bowls, trays, disposable utensils....basically, the works! My husband and I stayed 3 extra nights for some R&R to enjoy the property and surrounding area. There is a particularly cozy seat in the dining area with windows to view the entire backyard. It was a joy to see and hear the birds - especially the blue jays and quail - while waking up each morning. SO RELAXING. I even got to watch a coyote make their rounds one evening and two mornings. The house is large and quiet - someone can sleep-in (or take a nap) upstairs in complete comfort without worry about being disturbed by an early-bird. Great location to visit wineries. Several nature walks are within 10-15 minutes. You can't go wrong booking this home for either a family gathering or a quiet, couples get-away. We highly recommend this home. Have Fun!
