"We really enjoyed our time in wine country. The home is right in the Sonoma Valley making an easy commute to Sonoma and Napa wine country. We had a very easy check in with very clear directions about our stay and how to leave the residence. The home was clean and we had no issues at all. It was perfect for 2 couples enjoying a long weekend vacation. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. If we are ever in wine country again we will look to come back. Next time we would love to see the lemon tree in the back yard when the lemons are ripe. They were just beginning to turn yellow at the end of August."

"This is a fantastic house just a few minutes from downtown Sonoma in a great neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay and especially loved the backyard with the pool and spa. The bedrooms and living area have a good separation of space, with 4 bedrooms all upstairs, 2 on each side. There were some ants in the bathrooms and the EV charger was actually a Tesla charger rather than a universal EV, so we had to find an alternative charger, but other than those small couple of things, it was a wonderful stay."
