It was perfect for our elderly parents to get in and out of on a very busy weekend. Very lovely home, and would be perfect for weekend or longer at the winery.

Spacious and homey living in the country...
We thoroughly enjoyed this modern open floor plan domicile. It was nicely stocked with everything needed to make us feel like this was our home away from home. The beds are very comfy, the two bathrooms gave us plenty of space for our crew of 5 and small touches, like a blanket basket, helped us settle right in. The views and sounds of nature are the frosting on the getaway "cupcake". Would definitely return.

Perfect house for a larger group!
We rented this house for a bachelorette party weekend and it was absolutely perfect! It had plenty of space for everyone to sleep as well as a large open area to eat, play games and watch tv. We had a group of 10 and every single person commented on how nice the house was! The outside patio area was also very nice and had great views. The owner was very easy to communicate with and get ahold of with any questions. Will definitely make plans to return in the future!

Beautiful home located right next to Blue Sky winery!
Beautiful place with plenty of room! Also, located in a great location if you are coming to enjoy the wineries. The only thing was that the list the host provided us said they had coffee and shampoo/conditioner but there was not any of those in the house. So if you are a morning coffee drinker, make sure to bring your own cause you have to drive about 20-30 minutes to the closest town. There was a coffee pot, just no coffee.

Bachelorette Weekend
We had an amazing time at the cabin and enjoyed our stay. The house was immaculate and the views were impeccable. Tricia was always a message away and provided us with the best recommendations. Iron Whisk is a MUST stop and having our very own little private wine tasting at Pomona Winery was one of our favorite moments. What a dream weekend we all had celebrating the bride-to-be at the perfect cabin. We WILL be returning and planning our next visit soon. Thanks again Tricia for sharing your beautiful home with us!
