The cleanliness of the house was great. The outdoor seating areas and pool needed to be cleaned before we could use them. They had lots of tree debris on them. The house accommodated 10 people nicely but could use a little TLC.
We celebrated a 50th birthday with a trip of 11 ladies. We cooked and used the hot tub a lot. We stayed during winter so we didn’t use the pool. This house is layed out well for large groups, as most of the bedrooms are upstairs.I just wish there were a few extra bath towels and enough kitchen towels to do meal prep and clean the dishes. Everything was very clean! I would stay here again.
Beautiful home with lots of amenities. Plenty of room for our group of 11. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend this property. The owner was so helpful and accommodating!
Property exactly as described. Clean, great location. Communication was prompt and clear. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone with a large group heading to Sonoma! Thank you!
We had a great time at this house! Host was so kind and so responsive. The place was perfect for hosting 11 of us- we fit perfectly. Would absolutely recommend!
This home was great for our girls trip to Napa in Aug. 2025. Property is as listed. Six bedrooms, one for each of us. Pleasant walk to get coffee or have a meal at Sonoma Eats. Nice neighborhood.
The thermostat worked well as did the appliances. We did not use the outside pool or hot tub. There were little things; i.e. a sticky handrail up the inside stairs; one roll of paper towels; hair on the glass walls of the master shower. It looked like the cleaning people use the mop on the floor and then on the walls of the shower. On the upside the house was big enough for all ten of us and the TV was easy to use. There were "house rules" posted everywhere and it was difficult to keep the leaves out because there was a ton outside in the front yard due to the season.
Clean, comfortable and well located. Owner very responsive to any questions. Backyard is fantastic for relaxing.

House was great. We were so glad to find a place with 6 bedrooms. Yard was a disappointment. Unfortunately, we couldn't use the pool or the hot tub because there was an overly chemical smell in both. Firepit was really nice. I understand the need for all of the warnings because of the noise ordinance, but the signage inside was a bit much.

Hi thanks for your review. We have a pool service that monitors the chemicals in our hot tub and pool. I will forward your feedback. They maintain a standard level of chlorine and ph in order to keep everyone that's uses the pool and hot tub safe.
I will take note of the signage we use. Because our home can host twelve people at a time, I'm sure you can understand how easily a few groups can get out of hand. But for groups like yours, who are mindful of neighbors and county rules, the few signs that we have may feel like too many.
Thanks again for feedback.
We had an amazing time! Would definitely recommend this property. We had 10 girls and there was plenty of space for all of us to stay there comfortably. Super cute backyard space. Sonoma had pretty strict rules about no speakers outside and quiet hours after 9-10 ish.
We were a party of 9 visiting the area for a family wedding (we stayed just one night). The host, Tom, was very responsive and kindly accommodated some scheduling challenges on our part. The cooling system was tricky and Tom was accommodating of that too. We'd love to return in the future to be able to use the pool and to spend more time in this comfortable property!
Great stay from start to finish. We booked this for a trip with friends to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. Communication with Tom was great. Was able to checkin a little early and allowed us to have ballons delivered before our arrival for a surpise for my husband. Plenty of space for 11 adults. Overall a great time.
It was a great place to call home for our family gathering in Sonoma. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. The backyard has plenty of seating options and we made the most of the swimming pool. Overall it was lots of fun.
Great spot for your trip to Sonoma! The house is perfect for a couples trip. We used the pool and hot tub one afternoon and it was great. Would recommend.

Why they chose this property
I've been doing this for years but in 2014 took over managing the rentals of my home on VRBO and love it. Why this place in Sonoma? Great people, weather, food and wine! I love making improvements which make your stay better. My house has a wonderful homey feel and the outdoor space is private and updated. I love to host giving others the ability to experience this amazing area!
