I grew up in Sonoma county, so I love the fun eclectic vibe. We lived just walking the neighborhood and checking out the fun architecture and the walk-ability of everything was great. Communication was great, it was a quick weekend away, and we enjoyed our stay and utilizing a well stocked kitchen.

Bruce’s place was exactly as described and is quite unique with a high end audio/visual system, stocked bar, induction cooking table and wine-themed decor. The location is great for walking to Napa restaurants. We brought our English bulldogs with us and they enjoyed the grassy front yard and sunning themselves on the porch.Bruce was an excellent communicator and answered all our questions in a timely manner when we were there.We also took Bruce up on his offer for a wine tasting and tour at the Calistoga winery where he helps make the wine!We will look for Bruce’s place again.

About the host

Hosted by Bruce

Host profile image
I am a San Francisco Bay Native. I’ve been Hosting my Napa property as a Vacation Rental for over 14 years, and have now joined the VRBO Community! I enjoy Hosting Guest from all over the world, I know the Napa Valley intimately. I like to help my guest plan their itinerary with my curated recommendations of: Wineries/Wine Tours/Restaurants/cool hidden gems…

Why they chose this property

Guest have described my neighborhood as peaceful and love the proximity to Downtown Napa where in just a few minutes walk you are at wild class restaurants, tasking rooms and unique boutiques

What makes this property unique

Bespoke custom interior and amenities you will not find anywhere that are conceived (on my drafting table) built in my private shop in the East Bay (that also builds items for my Yacht) and installed by me-learned from my dad (and aside from building tech companies) this property is my passion, and if I’m
not busy enough with all that, I do make wine…. And as a guest you can be invited to that world
as well with a complimentary wine cave experience…

This recent guest review I feel accurately sums up my properties guest experience

“Bruce was very friendly, and proactive with recommendations. The house was very unique and you can tell Bruce has put a lot of effort into custom cabinetry, a full bar, and a robust entertainment system”
