Fantastic Getaway
We found this wonderful house looking for a getaway for my wife's birthday. The picture and description sparked our interest but when we saw the other photos we knew it was a good possibility for us. We did this almost at the last moment and all the other available houses were either more expensive or not nearly as nice so we went for it. The directions given were explicit but a bit different due to other properties along the driveway to this house. With the great directions I went to a map satellite program and saw exactly what Kris was saying and made the drive up the hill seem like I had already been there...very easy. We were thrilled with the property, the pond, and the house which was packed full of everything to make our stay wonderful. We will definitely have this property on our return list to the area, a great fine away from the busy areas and among some wonderful nearby shopping and wineries.

Awesome place to relax in open space
We were there for a weekend wedding, and our schedule was full for all three days. We did not get chance to enjoy the place. But it is a great place to stay with family and friend and relax next to vineyard. Beds were firm and comfortable (important for me), everything were clean and organized. Definitely I will book again to enjoy without rushing in and out. Rahim

Graduation fun and relaxation
We celebrated our son's college graduation with a BBQ. This home had all the amenities needed for our family to feel comfortable and to be able to cook a meal for 12 people. It is ideally located with surroundings and a great view. We even enjoyed fresh nectarines from trees in the garden that we added to our salad . Host was very friendly but gave us our privacy.

Life in wine country
If you ever wanted to get a sense of what it is like to live in wine country, this is the place. The views are beautiful. It's quiet, private, and a great house - love the open layout with the kitchen and living room. In the late afternoon/sunset time, we would relax on the back patio. There are some nice amenities as well. Highly recommend!

Great location!!!
We drove up the coast for a golf trip with another couple, trying to avoid El Niño rains late December - March. Wouldn't you know we were rained out anyways!! That being said, we spent most of our time enjoying this great house. It was perfect for our group and we enjoyed the cozy living area and fireplace while watching movies. The house was very well equipped and the host was super responsive. The location is great for wineries, restaurants and golf! Thanks for a lovely visit.
