We had a great stay over New years. The house and cottage were furnished beautifully with very comfortable beds. The area was quiet with a lovely view and fully fenced gardens. The hosts left us a nice welcome gift and were sure to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay.
Your residence and stay was great. Thank you for all the special touches. We have just left, but did want to inform you that we took a walk down the street to the top of the hill and seemed to have a neighbor who is very disgruntled about us walking around. We did not feel we stepped out of any bounce other than to take notice of the beautiful views on the main street.
My friends and I came here for a girls weekend in Wine Country. The property was perfect for our weekend. Very cute place. Just be mindful of the drive up and down the property— the road is a bit curvy. Otherwise the property manager is very responsive and answered all our questions in a timely manner.
Cozy and peaceful. Comfortable beds and well appointed kitchen. Easy check-in and check-out. Yes, the road is windy, but not as bad as some reviews have indicated. I drove a rented Class B RV van and was fine, even as a newby RV driver. The owner(s) have put much thought, detail and love into the aesthetics, amenities and overall guest experience.

The space was filled with natural light and felt so warm and welcoming the moment we walked in. Immaculately clean and beautifully decorated with such attention to detail. The kitchen had everything we needed, making it easy to feel right at home. And the bed—hands down, the most comfortable I've ever slept on! Perched atop a stunning, peaceful mountain, the views were simply breathtaking, and the tranquillity was priceless. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and recharge.

We hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing getaway!
We had a very nice stay. We had four adult friends vacationing together. The main house is very nice, and has all the amenities you would need, and the supplies are well stocked. The decor is nice, and has a wonderful wine country feel. The furniture is comfortable, as well as the bedding. We never did find a thermostat or heater, so we just used the console fireplace as our heat source. It worked well. The host provided a nice bottle of wine, which was a nice touch. As far as the Casita, it is also decorated in a cute, wine country way. The ladder up to the attic bedroom is a little tricky for women aged 50. But we were able to manage just fine. The beds are comfortable, but the low ceilings weren’t ideal. The main issue with the Casita for us, was a sewer smell, that I believe was coming from the shower drain, and we were unable to get hot water in the shower. The two adults that were staying in the Casita had to walk over to the main house to use the shower. There is no clothing storage in the Casita, so we had to live out of our suitcases that were spread out on the sofa. There are no hooks or towel racks in the bathroom for hanging towels or clothing. There is only one mirror (bathroom) in the Casita, so two women trying to do hair and make up is a bit tricky as well. An additional mirror out in the living space would be helpful. A full length mirror would be ideal. A few simple changes could make the Casita more enjoyable. Overall, we did have a very nice trip.
The owner was easy to talk to and checked in daily if we had any issues or help needed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The outdoor amenities were fantastic! The lush greenery, vibrant flowers, bocce court, ambient lighting, and cozy fire pit created an ideal setting for both fun and relaxation. Our only regret is not staying longer. Glen Ellen is charming, with plenty of delightful restaurants and shops nearby. We will definitely return!
