Had a wonderful time, our toddler especially enjoyed the horses and goats in addition to the backyard splendor! Well equipped kitchen and a comfortable place to stay.
This was a great place to stay. It was so clean and modern. The amenities were amazing. We loved the view of the pond from our room. The bed was comfortable. We were glad there wasn’t anyone staying in the rental next to us, because it made it feel so private. We would come back again.
The Barrel Property was well appointed with wonderful views and a peaceful atmosphere. The walk-in shower was wonderful with a rain shower head. The bed was comfy and the fireplace gave a nice ambiance. A spacious deck and hot tub were a fabulous location to wind down listening to the frogs from the pond. Overall a fantastic stay nestled close but feeling far away. I highly recommend
We really enjoyed staying here and will definitely be back. Everything surpassed our expectations and was very thoughtfully laid out.

Relaxing
Check-in was very easy . The kitchen was well stocked and beautiful. We loved that there was a hot tub on our deck and a short walk to the pool. The bed was very nice and I loved the little couch for relaxing and reading a book. We would stay here again.
I picked this place for a solo writing retreat and it was great! Clean, beautiful room with peaceful surroundings. I enjoyed walking around the lake and through the vineyards. There's also a little town with a couple of restaurants in short walking distance.
Melinda and Jerry were very responsive to any questions and the property was beautiful. Our daughter LOVED watching the horses and goats. We can't wait to come back
Our stay was so lovely and luxurious, from the pond views and gas tiki torches to the little extras, like fancy toothbrushes and a bottle of wine. The owners have put so much work into the property and into this space, and it shows! They are also lovely people who helped us with anything we needed. One of the best stays we've had anywhere.
This VRBO was a dream — spacious, quiet, and thoughtfully designed down to every detail. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the fully-equipped kitchen was perfect for cooking, and the deck was a beautiful place to relax with coffee and a book. Everything felt intentional and high quality, from the linens to the lighting. Melinda & Jerry are also fantastic, generous and responsive hosts!
I truly enjoyed my stay at this property. The amenities were plentiful, the room amazing, and the grounds peaceful. The deck and views are calming especially from the hot tub. The room is spacious, pristinely cleaned, and overall luxurious. We truly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return.
Our stay was great! The only downside was that there was another vrbo family staying on the same property (same shared porch) and there are no shades on the windows (only the doors) so we didn’t feel like we had good privacy from these neighbors. We also weren’t aware that there would be guests that would be so close by so this removed some of the romance of the trip. Melinda and Jerry were great!
So luxurious! Hosts were very thoughtful and attentive while giving us privacy. They really went the extra mile to make us comfortable, way beyond expected. The property is impressive. They've put a lot of love in to it and it shows.
We had an amazing weekend! Our toddler had a blast riding along on Jerry’s golf cart, falling in love with Midnight the curious cat, and bribing the horses with carrots. The pool and hot tub kept the whole family entertained, and the fresh eggs and chilled chardonnay were such a nice touch. We enjoyed a lovely evening chat with Jerry and are bummed we didn’t get to meet Melinda, who was out of town. Huge thanks to Jerry for being such a wonderful host!
There were many spiderwebs, spiders and bugs in the unit when we arrived. We informed the host who offered to send someone to clean but we cleaned up ourselves quickly to avoid having to wait. Next morning more spiders and bugs showed up including right over the bed so we decided to leave and only ended up staying for 1 night. We sent the host many photos of the bugs and she kept saying this is a "one off."Also the pool was dirty (dead bugs) and deck was covered with spiderwebs making the hot tub and deck furniture useless unless we cleaned it. Half of the amenities were unusable without cleaning.The host said cleaners had come 3 weeks ago. Why was the place not cleaned before we arrived? She offered to send someone to clean and also send "spider spray" but we didn't really want the inconvenience of having to wait for something that should have been taken care of before we arrived. Any we were only refunded 1/3 of our total charge for 2 nights (the host still charged us the "cleaning fee"). Ruined our long weekend and didn't even get the our full money back for 1 night!The grounds and place has potential, but we were surprised by our experience with cleanliness.
Melinda and Jerry were amazing host. I came with two French friends to have a relax time and they treat us like a five starts hotel and more. The amenities were as described. They have a hot tub, big pool, fire and pit, and the view of a lake were I did my yoga session. Is the perfect place in the middle of vineyards to relax and enjoy the nice weather. Thank you Melinda and Jerry, can’t wait to come back soon 💕
This was by far one of the best places we have stayed in. The owners of the property were wonderful to communicate with and the property itself was welcoming, comfortable, and truly exceeded what we had been expecting. We will definitely be making this place a staple during our California visits. While visiting family, we were able to share the beauty of this place with them, and needless to say, they were impressed. They have already started talking about planning their own staycation at this property for themselves. Would 100% recommend again and again.
This property was exactly as it is described. We did some wine tasting, a little site seeing and a whole lot of just lounging by the pool and floating and playing cards on the deck. The Barrel Room has everything you need and was super comfortable. We will definitely return with friends and will also be bringing the whole family back.next year. This Oasis is loved and it shows.
