This was such a gorgeous property! From the moment we walked in, the views took our breath away. There was plenty of room for our family and we enjoyed socializing on the beautiful deck and around the pool. Our grandchildren especially loved the pool and all the toys kept in the shed next to it. We would definitely want to return!
We stayed at this property with a large group. The view when you walk in will leave you speechless. The property was exactly as pictured and was perfect for our group. The location is also in the heart of all the amazing wineries in the area. I would definitely stay again!
We had 13 people for a family thanksgiving and the accommodations, layout and location were perfect!
Only minor request would be the internet bandwidth was not great
But highly recommended!!!
We had a group of 10 stay at the property. The back yard is beautiful and relaxing. The pool and hot tub were great. Perfect house for a large group with plenty of space to get some alone time as well.
The property is amazing and even better than advertised. Location is great for exploring Healdsburg and surrounding area. Our group of friends had a terrific time over new years and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thank you!
Had 4 families stay with kinds ranging from 2 to 14. House was modern, well stocked and clean. Close to everything we needed and views were fantastic. Highly recommend
Excellent property situated near Napa and Sonoma. Very comfortably fit our family of 10 adults. Only wish we would have been at the house more to enjoy the amenities! We'll definitely be coming back!
We LOVED this place so much - it was the perfect place for our bridal party to stay and have the perfect combination of shared space and private space for everyone. We had such an amazing time on this incredible property. It was stocked with everything we needed and the property manager was so helpful and communicative when we needed anything. 10/10 would stay here again!!!
Lovely house that opens up to a dramatic view with fields and mountains behind the pool. Furniture proportions were a bit odd (seems like it was built for giants), but overall a great spot.
The property has beautiful scenery. The 3 buildings for accomodations fit our family well. The main house was perfect for all of us to gather. The kitchen worked well for the private chef that was hired for two dinners. The pool was a family favorite. The property is conveniently close to Healdsburg which was an added plus.
There were 4 couple on a 3 night getaway and the home was perfect for our trip. Each couple was able to have a king bedroom and the two guest homes on the property with their own kitchenette sealed the deal. The home was equipped with everything we needed and more. We couldn't have asked for a better place; we only wish we could have stayed longer. It was perfect and we would absolutely go back and would highly recommend this home.
Amazing house. Very expensive but worth it if you have a big group and want a nice pool. High end kitchen and comfortable large beds in every room.
We had one moderate issue where the fire pit was broken and the host responded quickly and replaced it the next day, good communication.
Would rent here again.
Everything was great. Couple fix it things but nothing big. Pool was perfect enjoyef it so much we never used the hot tub. Kitchen was fantastic. 11 people with us so the other bedrooms not in main house worked out great. Would definitely rent this place again
Our group of 15 had an excellent stay! The house was just as described and very well equipped. (In fact we wished we had checked out the pantry prior to going grocery shopping!) We didn’t have any children on this trip but I noticed lots of kid friendly items, especially dishes. The location was convenient to Healdsburg and Ubers/Lyfts were available but a bit limited so you may want to plan for that. The hot tub was a big plus since we timed our trip for the first snow in the area in 30 years! We would definitely return and recommend especially for larger groups!
We had a great time. Beautiful property. Picky but why not buy a new iron and ironing board for each house. We had to carry one iron from house to house. You Could spend $100 and be done. I felt like our group went above and beyond to clean and take care of the place while we were there.
This property is absolutely stunning, and the location couldn't be better. We had a group of 12 adults and 1 teen, and we loved our stay. There is plenty of gathering space - especially with the open wall between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Even though we did not pay for pool heating, we found that the water was warm enough to swim in (mid-November) and the hot tub was wonderful as well. There are a few very minor comments that we would recommend for the host: the kitchen could benefit from a pitcher for water/iced tea, and a wine decanter (there was an empty box for a wine decanter in the pantry, but we couldn't find the actual decanter). Also, some side tables in the bedrooms would be very useful. Lastly, the ceiling fan in one of the guest house bedrooms did not work. As I said - these are extremely insignificant items compared to the beautiful house and property, I just wanted to share them with the host. For others considering staying in this home: you will not regret it - the home is beautiful, with gorgeous views, in a divinely peaceful setting.
Overall, we had a very positive experience at this house. I went with five childhood friends and our vision was to have all of us in one single home. While this property is vast and gorgeous, it is dispersed amongst three structures so the main house has three bedrooms, another guest house has two, and a third structure has one room. It is nicely outfitted in all the homes but we always prefer to be under the same roof for meals and hanging out and drinking wine.
The property was beautiful and just as described. House was huge and pool and outside area was spacious. Couple little hiccups with a couple of the blinds and lack of any towels in the one bedroom building. We arrived about 10 minutes early and a gentleman from the cleaning crew showed up about 5 minutes later to finish cleaning back deck, garage space and get towels out of laundry. Other than that it was an incredible place to stay and would absolutely do it again.
