Wine Country Haven-Fun Family-friendly Retreat

Summary:
Well-located for your wine country destinations, our peaceful home sits in a very family-friendly neighborhood, very quiet, with beautiful views toward Annadel State Park and Kenwood.

The Space:
The property has a laid-back feel and is equipped with all the amenities you will need to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Filled with souvenirs from our trips around the world - over 80 countries and counting!

Take in the gorgeous views of the hills through the windows in the family room. Binge-watch your favorite shows in the family room using the TV. It is hooked up on Roku with Amazon Prime, as well as Netflix. Our full kitchen has everything you need for preparing scrumptious meals for the whole family. We also have a fully automatic espresso maker & cappuccino maker for the coffee lovers in your group. There is an Automatic motion-sensing tap and a batch feed garbage disposal that only works when the magnetic stopper is used, very safe. We have a beautiful 5-burner Wolf range and a new double-convection oven. The Wolf range has a separate simmer ring for every burner. The house has five bedrooms perfect for large groups and extended families. The first three bedrooms have a queen-sized bed and the other two bedrooms each have a single bed. Three available bathrooms make it very ideal for everyone.

For those times you do need to sadly get a little work in, we have reliable high-speed internet and an office with a monitor and laser printer setup.

ADDITIONAL AMENITIES
A new PacMan arcade machine, a huge library of kids books, board games and toys for young ones!
Big back deck with natural gas barbecue, lots of yard to play in. The private yard has a jungle gym, a climbing dome, and not one but two "rollercoasters" to tire out your kids while you relax in our hammock or on our swing. Please make sure that kids are supervised at all times!

The back deck has a natural gas BBQ and plenty of space for outdoor dining or sipping that glass of wine while you enjoy the views of the surrounding hills.

No need to worry about power outages at our home - we've got full power backup with 2 Tesla Powerwalls. Speaking of Tesla, if you need to recharge, we have a 220 outlet in the garage, please reach out to us to get access.

We now have a J1772 charging cord coiled up in front of the garage door compatible with all electric cars. Free EV charging for guests!

We also have a landline that can be used to call in case of emergencies

The Neighborhood:
Our favorite winery is En Garde Winery — just 15 minutes down Highway 12 and rated 96 points from Robert Parker.
Other favorites in the Sonoma Valley are St Anne's and Arrowood.

For a restaurant, you can't go wrong with Ca'bianca, beautiful outdoor Italian dining in a picturesque garden belonging to an 1800s house right downtown. Very delicious.

For the best coffee and yummy pastries, head to Acre Coffee in Montgomery Village (or their Sebastopol or Petaluma locations). Their mocha is one of our not so guilty pleasures!

Getting Around:
A grocery store and good restaurants are just a short pleasant walk away! The nearest winery is only 10-minute drive away. A quick drive to the heart of Santa Rosa and all of it’s bars, restaurants, and entertainment, all this while being under an hour from the ocean.

Other Things to Note:
Well-behaved pets are allowed with a $500 deposit (paid upfront)

Just as described
Group of 7 adults stayed for 2 nights for a wedding down the road - house was clean, very well stocked, easy to access, easy communication with the host management company. I didn't love the additional Damage Waiver Fee - the alternative to leaving a large refundable after 30-days security deposit - but elected to pay it anyway.

Great kitchen
We had three couples for a wine country visit. Each couple had an assignment to cook each night after our wine country visits. The kitchen was the best we've had in our 8+ VRBO rentals. Very spacious and well equipped. Everything we needed was available. Nice grocery store is very close (5 minutes) so easy to shop for fresh food items. The house was super clean and the three full bathrooms worked well for the three couples. Great house for a wine trip to Sonoma. We didn't have kids or grandkids on this trip, but this house would also work well for families. Nice kids bedrooms, game room and big backyard. Very nice house. Would definitely stay again.

Nice House - disappointing experience
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented the home for our family as we were hosting a memorial golf tournament close by. The house was lovely with a beautiful view. The coffee maker didn't seem to work but not that big of a deal. It was made clear there were not to be any parties and we complied. However my 5 year old grandson and his friend were playing Hide and Seek around 8:00. An adult was supervising. Out of no where a neighbor started shouting "Shut the F Up" over and over. They came in the house very upset. It was so loud I heard it in the house. So I guess I would recommend the house if you never went outside to do anything. It also looked like there were mouse droppings in a drawer in the kitchen with the potholders.

Great house, fabulous views
The house was the perfect amount of space for our group of 7. We thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking views of the mountain/valley while seated on the deck for meals. Quiet, safe neighborhood, great for early morning walk/run, close to grocery/coffee/gas. We all enjoyed a little Pac-Man competition as we grew up playing it, but admittedly with rusty skills. It was further from our planned wineries in Napa and Sonoma than I would have preferred, but we made it work and it was certainly not their fault. On a map the mileage isn’t far, but the windy roads make for a long trip and a DD if not hiring a driver/tour. We enjoyed Santa Rosa too though, which was an unexpected bonus. Lovely stay, I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Sonoma County Wedding Stay
Six adults and two children had an enjoyable stay for a wedding we attended in Sonoma County. The house was very spacious and accommodating. We did some cooking in the well-equipped kitchen and utilized the gas bbq on the deck. The neighborhood was very quiet and excellent for walking. Shopping was nearby. The children really enjoyed the play area in back yard and all the books/toys located throughout the house. Only reason for not getting a "5" in Cleanliness was that the house does have an issue with sugar ants. Traps are laid throughout the floors but we still had ants roaming and gaining access into our belongings.

This location goes above and beyond with the amount of furnishings, utensils, and overall supplies. Much appreciated. Heads up, the coffee machine is broken and all your coffee will be on the ground rather than in the pot

Could be nice if better maintained
This is a nice home in a beautiful neighborhood but the home needs to be better maintained. We noticed a few ants in the kitchen the first couple days, then about 25 on the third day. We contacted the property manager on that day (Friday) and never heard from them until after we checked out on Monday. We put out ant traps, which of course drew even more into the home, so we had a couple hundred ants in the house Saturday morning. Between Raid and the traps, we were able to be rid of ants by Sunday morning. The kitchen sink runs on a sensor, which wasn't working properly. Initially it would only let the water run a second or two and then turn off. Beginning day 3, it wouldn't shut off, so I had to turn off the water valve under the sink. While there, I noticed that the water filter hadn't been changed since August of 2019. That's indicative of the attention to maintenance throughout the home. The master bathroom shower wouldn't get above lukewarm, likely due to a faulty valve. Carpet is worn, many plumbing fixtures are loose, etc. No communication from management to fix any of the issues we raised. House could be nice, just needs some work.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was in a beautiful neighborhood. It was a great location to visit wineries in Glen Ellen / Sonoma. The home felt much larger inside, with plenty of room for our party of 6 to spread out and be comfortable. Everything we needed was there. We would stay here again.

The "toddler roller coaster" in the backyard was a particular favorite. The adults loved the ample space and amazingly well supplied kitchen--made Thanksgiving prep easy for multiple cooks.

Wine, food, and hummingbirds
3 couples of wine enjoying friends had a great week at the house. The common areas are large yet warm and comfortable. The kitchen could not be better equipped to make dinner at home and breakfast with the sun coming up in the morning (while we were still on East Coast time). The neighborhood is quiet but inviting and the location is perfect for winery visits in Sonoma and easy access to Napa. Would return again without hesitation.

Just what we needed
We were there to work in the area. Needed a place to stay. House is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Easy parking and entry. Nice inside and comfortable house. Well equipped kitchen. Plenty of space for all. Kinda strange only having one TV but we weren't there for fun so didn't really matter. A/C thankfully worked because it was in a 115 degree heat wave. The property manager was great to communicate and asked if we got in ok. Informed us that we didn't need to worry about rolling blackouts because of the smart solar. Very pleasant experience. Would definitely recommend.

Wine Tour Weekend
Property was great. House was stocked with everything you needed. Owners have gone out of their way to make sure you were comfortable. Grocery store was a mile or two away. Downtown Santa Rosa was a 10 minute drive but Ubers were easy to get. House is in a nice neighborhood and quiet. Tons of wineries close by and trips into Healdsburg, Sonoma and Napa were easy if you have a car. Great place. Thanks

Perfect home and amenities
I don't always write reviews but I wanted to for this home, as we had such a wonderful stay and wanted to share an honest, positive review. We were here for 6 nights for a family wedding in Glen Ellen. There were 5 adults and my 3 year old son. What a perfect place for relaxing and having all necessary items in the home. Highlights: 1) Perfect size for multiple families. Large living room space right off the kitchen where we spent most nights relaxing. An added surprise bonus - amazing massage chair that my cousin spent hours in! ;) 2) FULLY equipped kitchen with anything you could need for cooking, coffee, children's plates, silverware, etc., basic cooking items - oils, spices, etc. plus paper plates, indoor/outdoor dinnerware sets, wine glasses, etc. etc. I can't imagine there wasn't a cooking tool or utensil not supplied. 3) Bathrooms were equipped with toiletries - such a nice surprise! (we overpacked - didn't need half of the things I brought) 4) Very quiet neighborhood. Really enjoyed sitting outside on the patio. The homes are close together but you would never know as it was always quiet. I took several runs throughout the neighborhood and surrounding area and it felt very safe and well kept. 5) Location - very close to many wineries. It was only 10 minute drive to multiple recommended places to visit - hiking trails, downtown Santa Rosa and a nice little outdoor shopping "mall" with some large chain stores but also several very cute restaurants and smaller boutique shops. 6) For kids - it is clear the owners have several children of their own. The house had great kids rooms with bunk beds and SO many books and toys (legos, etc.) that my son really enjoyed. The backyard has a great swingset/play area which we used every day. There was a park/playground less than a mile from the house where we brought our son as well. 7) Communication with management company - they checked in on us the night we arrived and were very responsive, although we really didn't need much as the house was equipped and we had no issues. 8) Day trips -we went to Bodega Bay which was about an hour away. Also Armstrong Redwoods, which were about 30 minutes. Very easy to get to. There were many others we could have visited within an hour if we had more time! I would definitely recommend this home for those looking to explore wine country and have a nice, quiet, large space to come home to.

Very comfortable!
I stayed here with my husband and other family members. We had more than enough space (massive master bedroom) and the kitchen was well stocked for our BBQ. We used the BBQ grill, stove, microwave, toaster oven and coffee pot. The home was quite comfortable. The balcony was wonderful to relax on. We loved the quiet neighborhood & quick access to Safeway. There was a very special robins nest with beautiful blue eggs in the orange tree just outside of the kitchen window. Access was easy and communication was good.

Christmas in Sonoma
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this house for Christmas with my family. The space was very good since it had a first floor bedroom for my elderly mom. The issues we had were 1. the garbage disposal needs to be replaced. It worked for the first day and then stopped working. (We had one similar 20 years ago, so the issue wasn't that we weren't familiar with this particular model.) 2. The roku stick didn't work, fortunately we were able to run the tv through our iPad. Other than these issues we found the rental good for our needs.

Fantastic Family Getaway
After 16 months of socially distancing, we needed a family getaway. It was the grandparents, their two sons and their families. We had an amazing time. The house was even better than we expected! We brought board games and books for the kids, but the house was filled with books and games that we didn't even open our stuff. The house was immaculate and spacious. The kitchen was large with everything we could need. We still have one child who cannot get vaccinated, so it was nice to be able to keep our distance from each other within the house. And it had the best check-out policy. Just lock the windows and doors on your way out! The only issue we had with this rental is the cancellation policy. Although it says 100% refund if cancelled by x date, there actually is a 3% processing fee that is non-refundable. I found this to be misleading since it only shows up in a separate rental contract. But I don't blame the owners for this, its the management company they use. Ultimately, we had a wonderful time and would definitely return!
