Where can I start? EVERYTHING was amazing! The house was beautiful, the property was quiet, private, and the perfect setting for our family get together. We had planned to go out for dinnner each night of our stay in Sonoma, but when we saw the kitchen, we decided to cancel our reservations both nights and stay "home" and cook. We loved everything about our stay and will be back!

The house was beautiful and very comfortable. Various places to hang out with nice chairs. The kitchen was well stocked. The bedrooms were all large with good size bathrooms and closets. Beds were comfortable! The outside areas were also very nice with lots of seating. The house has beautiful views from every window. Even though the house is secluded, it was easy to drive too.

Great location that was beautiful and quiet. The properties five bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Outdoors had amble space with a covered patio area, hot tub with deck area and a pool. We had a great time and would recommend for families or groups looking for a space far enough from other houses but close enough to Bodega Bay and Sonoma wineries.

An absolute gem in Sebastopol — this property exceeded our every expectation. The home is beautiful, private, and well cared for. Unlike other rentals we’ve tried, the hot tub was in perfect working order, adding a warm touch to our stay. A special commendation goes to Junior whose responsiveness made all the difference — he quickly fixed the DVD, addressed the annoying bee issue, and managed the mosquitoes so we could fully enjoy the grounds. This was truly a standout experience, and I will gladly return to this marvelous property.

Awesome property!
This is our 3rd time using this property for our annual reunion. It's a stunning property with an amazing view of nature and the sound of birds, not cars. The house is gorgeous with different meeting spaces and a great big kitchen. The bedrooms are just gorgeous and the beds are comfortable. I really appreciated that everything works well. The host is great to work with and very communicative and helpful. I highly recommend this place.

Friends Getaway Weekend
This home and property are absolutely beautiful. We were a group of 10 women and felt that the house accommodated us all well. Every bedroom has a king sized bed and its own bathroom. The outdoor space was beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed the hot tub, but it was a little too cold for the pool even though it was clean and ready to be used. I would definitely visit this location again.

Secluded Luxury - It’s the Truth!
This house and property absolutely blew us away! Every room was gorgeous and the house had everything we needed for a fun stay-in girls weekend. You are close enough to town that you can drive to get some supplies, but far enough away not to be bothered by anyone or anything! So many places to sit and lounge inside and outside, and we got lucky with the perfect weather. It was so healing being surrounded by trees and nature, this house is a must if you have a few friends or family and want to get away together. So grateful to stay in such a gorgeous house- would love to return when we get the chance!

A Fabulous 60th Anniversary Extravaganza
Nine of us spent a week in this gorgeous home to celebrate our parents' 60th wedding anniversary. It is situated in the middle of what feels like a nature preserve, but is actually just up a paved driveway from the road. It was truly the perfect location. The two ground floor bedrooms were accessible but still felt private and peaceful. Each of the bedrooms is a master suite. We made all our dinners in the kitchen that seemlessly accommodates a group that likes to cook together. The outdoor area was comfortable for lounging and viewing the night sky. We loved the pool, the hot tub deck, and the garden. The location is fantastic with multiple sources of fine groceries, wine, and lots of other resources within 15 minutes. We ventured out to enjoy the Sonoma Coast, Glen Ellen, Healdsburg, and a couple golf courses. All that was wonderful, but it is also a property that is ideal for wiling away the day in the perfect indoor/outdoor living environment. None of us wanted to leave when our week ended!
