About this house rental

Down a quiet country lane, surrounded by vineyard and orchard views, sits our re-modeled 1920's farmhouse. Welcome to paradise in the wine country!

Most of the property's seven acres are devoted to apple orchard and meadow. The main house consists of four spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room, formal dining room and den. The kitchen is well equipped and makes it fun to feed a group indoors or outdoors. The kitchen was completely remodeled in the Spring of 2015. The house has everything you need to make your wine country vacation enjoyable. Beds and baths are appointed with fine linens. Off the kitchen, a large patio and deck provide a perfect spot for barbequeing and dining al fresco at the large teak table. Read and fall asleep in the roomy hammock. The location, the so-called Banana Belt, has more sun than anywhere in West Sonoma County! Days start out cool, warm up through the afternoon and then cool off again in the evening, making this a perfect climate for living inside or out.

There is a remodeled, one bedroom guesthouse with a full bath, living room, and wet bar.

A 40', solar-heated swimming pool near the main house provides a great place to cool off in the heat of the afternoon. There are two organic vegetable gardens where you can pick over 50 different varieties of herbs, vegetables and fruits for your meals (depending upon the season). Over 70 mature rose bushes around the house provide bursts of color. There is a sport court with a basketball hoop, adjustable volleyball or Pickleball net and lights for late evening play. Lines painted on the court are official Pickleball court dimensions.

There are many fun things to do nearby. You'll be close to the greatest pinot noir and chardonnay tasting rooms of the Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley. Healdsburg, Sebastopol, Graton, Occidental and Forestville are minutes away by car. You will find wonderful restaurants, art galleries, and fun shops as you explore these charming towns. There are several excellent grocery stores within a few miles and the Sunday farmers' market in Sebastopol is fantastic.

The possibilities for active outdoor living are limitless! You can walk, run or bike the Joe Rodota trail or the scenic and little-traveled backroads nearby. There are four public golf courses, including a Dr. Alister MacKenzie design, a short distance away. The Pacific coastline is a beautiful drive over the hill from Graton through Occidental. Hiking beneath beautiful Redwood groves or canoeing on the Russian River is 15 minutes away. For the thrill-seekers, there is a zip-lining course in the Redwood forest only 7 miles away.

If you are looking for a special treat, you can revive yourself with a day trip to the famous mud baths in Calistoga. If you desire something closer, there are several day spas in the immediate area.

The property is very private and quiet. At night, city dwellers will be dazzled by a sky full of stars. You are away from it all and still close to everything. San Francisco is 60 miles to the south.

Family gathered over the holidays at this lovely (inside and out) property. Host was super-responsive and made us feel very welcome. Took advantage of the sport court (when it wasn't raining) and played a lot of ping-pong in the barn. House and cottage well appointed with linens, cooking items, and everything else one could need. Enjoyed fruit from the lemon & lime trees. Would love to return to this fabulous property in the summer!

This is a lovely old house with lots of character but updated with some modern amenities. House was comfortable, clean, and in good working order. Lots of space to explore in the house and the property overall. We had a couple minor issues that came up (e.g., heater went off) during our stay but Katie the homeowner was very response, helpful, and pleasant to work with.

This was as wonderful a vacation rental as we have experienced. Four good-sized bedrooms with comfortable beds and good closets / storage. Living spaces are comfortable and sufficient for different family members doing different things. All bathrooms were very well-appointed. The kitchen is lovely, and has excellent appliances and tools. But the outside might be better. An excellent pool, warm and clean with generous seating and plenty of easy-to-use umbrellas. A grand deck for meals, or reading under the grapevines. And they're not kidding about a functioning garden - we took advantage of ripe tomatoes, herbs, strawberries and lemons while we were there. Oh, and the guest house is not just a throw-in; it's just as lovely as the "main" house. Examples of the little-but-thoughtful things include nightlights in the upstairs bathrooms and hallway, the SONOS and charging cables in the kitchen, decently sharp kitchen knives, among many others. The owners were extremely responsive and helpful. Some of our highlights include Muir Woods, Bodega Bay, farmers markets in Occidental and Sebastopol, restaurants in Sebastopol, Geyserville, Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Healdsburg, etc. It was certainly pricey for us, but it is clearly invested in making it a great place to stay.

We can’t speak highly enough about this wonderful home and property! There was something for us all—from a lovely, well-equipped kitchen where we cooked, to beautiful outdoor spaces where we relaxed, to a fantastic swimming pool where our youngest grandchildren made great strides in swimming, to gardens where we picked plums, lemons, and tomatoes, to a sport court where we attempted pickle ball— and more! We did some sightseeing in the area but absolutely loved all that this property had to offer. We had 10, including grandparents (we stayed in guest house) and two families with children from age 5-14. We had excellent communication with Katie. We’d go back in a heartbeat!

House and property were amazing. Description of everything was accurate. I think my kids ate every strawberry! Perfect house for large extended family- we had grandma and grandpa in their own private guest house! Afternoon pool was perfect for cooling off after hiking and exploring. Great house and location was perfect. Thanks so much for letting us enjoy your home!
