Absolutely everything was perfect about this VRBO. The kitchen was well equipped, almost anything could be made in it as there was every type of pot, pan, serving tray, dish, glass, mug and utensils you could ask for.There were many entertaining items around the home, a turntable with a wide variety of albums, a guitar, games, books, yoga mats, pool toys etc.The house was extremely clean and fresh smelling as was the yard. It totally suited my husband, adult children and their finances.There was ample parking for cars, ample seating for everyone, and ample towels for showering and for the pool.Communication between Brook and me was timely and very friendly. She wanted to make sure we were well taken care of, which we were.I would HIGHLY recommend this home to anyone visiting Santa Rosa or, as in our case, attending wedding festivities in Calistoga. That was just a 25 minute ride over the mountain.Brook and her VRBO home, the Happy House, are the BEST!

Fully equipped kitchen, cute little house
House is very cute. We were a little confused about where the second bathroom was. Kitchen was fully stocked, which was nice. We had a problem with the hot tub, but the owner fix that very quickly for us. We were able to walk to a nice Mexican restaurant and an amazing grocery store.Only thing it could’ve been a little cleaner. The carpet in one of the bedrooms really needs to be taken out.Overall, it was a good stay, and the owner communicated very quickly with us

Home is very nice in a very quiet community. Warm feeling and spacious rooms. The sauna was very relaxing and the pool was a great condition (a bit too cold to enjoy during our stay).Brook was very attentive and made sure our experience was an enjoyable one!
