About this house rental
Welcome to the Wine Country!
Step inside this open, airy 4 bedroom 3 bath home and prepare to relax!!! Upgraded and open kitchen, connects to all living spaces with full view of the pool and Foothills, surrounded by trees giving you total privacy. We've stocked the kitchen with Calphalan pans and dishes for the chef. For the bartender in the house get ready to uncork that bottle of wine or mix a cocktail at the beautiful hand carved rosewood bar. Head outside to grab a lemon, tangerine or lime from our cocktail grove, when in season to mix the perfect drink.
Ready for a game night? We've got you covered at the kitchen table that easily seats 8. You'll find puzzles, games and a complete poker set.
Downstairs, there's a completely remodeled bathroom with full shower and guest room with queen bed. Upstairs, the master bedroom features a king size pillow top bed and upgraded master bath, another updated bathroom and two more guest rooms with queen sized beds. If you need to get some work done while on vacation, the master and a guest bedroom both upstairs, have designated work spaces.
Step outside and you'll know you're in wine country with a spacious, private, park like yard surrounded by trees complete with pool and spa. A covered outdoor kitchen with BBQ, refrigerator and bar seating. A separate dining patio with a trellised bamboo feature wall for that bistro dining feel and a brand new patio dining table that seats 8+. Relax by the the free standing, natural gas fireplace with glass inset and enjoy your favorite glass of wine. Play a game of Corn Hole on the large grassy area or just have a seat in the Adirondack Chair to read that book you've been meaning to read.
Our location doesn't get much better. An abundance of wineries including Rodney Strong Vineyards, J Vineyards & Aperture Cellars are just seven minutes from our front door as is Russian River Brewing company and many other craft breweries. Visit downtown Windsor just 5 minutes away with restaurants, shops, Thursday night concerts & Movie nights in summer, wine tasting and Farmer's Market. While you're there stop in Olivers Market for all your picnicking supplies, including a wide selection of gourmet cheeses, charcuterie and delicious sandwiches & prepared items. Healdsburg - home to many fine restaurants and wine tasting rooms is a mere 10 minutes away.
For outdoor enthusiasts we've got something for everyone. Walk right out our back gate to over 211 acres of hiking or fishing in Foothill Regional Park or connect up to hundreds of miles of biking paths through vineyards and hillsides. There are two tennis courts directly behind us. The Russian River, Armstrong Woods, Bodega Bay and dozens of Regional Parks for hiking, fishing and kayaking are all close by.
We want to make this your perfect wine country trip! We've lived in the area for many years and we'd love to help you out with any dining, winery or activities. Just reach out and we'll help you map out the perfect plan of attack.

We spent 3 nights in this lovely house. The property is very well-appointed, featuring 4 comfortable rooms, 3 bathrooms, and plenty of common areas both inside and out—ideal for our group of 3 couples. It was beautifully maintained, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The location in wine country was perfect, close to tasting rooms and the charming town of Healdsburg. The backyard even connects to a regional park, offering great trails and scenery for those interested in a bit of fitness activities. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive. Highly recommend

Sue and Barry were great hosts! The house was exactly as described and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the open floor plan and the wonderful outdoor dining, seating, kitchen, pool, and hot tub. We took in the Foothills park that had beautiful hiking trails right out the back gate. Great location for taking in the wine country too. Highly recommend!

Fabulous property. The hosts have thought of everything! We had 6 adults (would be room for another couple easily). Great outdoor spaces, enjoyed the pool and hot tub, and just a very quick walk to some fantastic hiking trials. Couldn't say enough about this place - we plan to be back :)

Visiting Wine Country was near the top of our retirement bucket list and staying at Barry and Sue's property was one of the best parts! They couldn't have been better hosts - wish we could have met them! The attention to every little detail in this home was so appreciated! We were SO lucky with the weather for mid October. We were able to enjoy the heated pool, the spa, and the outdoor fireplace! It was so relaxing after a day of wine tasting! (Shout out to Jason Gariss with Sonoma Wine Rides for 2 GREAT days of Wine tastings!) Having Barry and Sue's list of recommended restaurants made dinner plans easy! We especially loved visiting Oliver's Market!
Thanks for helping fulfill this bucket list request! We hope to visit again!

Would absolutely go again.

Perfectly located for our long weekend visit to Healdsburg. Easy 10-minute drive to town to enjoy wonderful coffee hangouts, restaurants and shopping, and plenty of great wineries within a 20-minute drive. Oliver's Market is an even shorter drive - no words for how wonderful it is! The home is very well equipped inside and out. We enjoyed cooking dinner one of the evenings and eating al fresco. The private backyard is delightful with its pool/spa, bbq, conversation seating around the gas fireplace, and pretty strung lights. The trail system accessible from the house was an added bonus for daily dog walks. Hosts Barry and Sue provided lots of excellent advice on the area and the check-in/check-out process was communicated well and went smoothly. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

The house was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for- 15 min from pretty much anything we wanted to do, and the pool and hot tub were an amazing way to relax after a day of wine tasting. The house is just as pictured. Barry and Sue were great communicating with before and during our stay. They were very responsive and gave us great recommendations prior to arriving. We would definitely book again if we can make it out to Wine Country again!

This property was a perfect getaway for six friends visiting Sonoma County for a long weekend. Its prime location between Santa Rosa and Healdsburg provided ample opportunity for exploring the area's many offerings. The backyard is a great spot to hang out during the day (pool, cornhole, and other yard games) or evening (outdoor kitchen, hot tub, and fireplace). The kitchen is well stocked with supplies and has modern appliances, the bedrooms are spacious with comfy beds, the clean bathrooms have several amenities, and the hosts were amiable and communicative. I highly recommend this house and host.

Very comfortable house for 4 couples with well furnished kitchen and an awesome back yard. Central location for visiting different regions in the area - we went to Napa Valley, Dry Creek region and Sonoma area. Had a great time and would definitely come back.

This house is completely set up for a family vacation. It’s not for those with small kids— but young adults as well as older ones will appreciate its calm and all the attributes. If you want to cook/ grill, all the accoutrements are there. The house itself is very comfortable and clean. The location makes it easy to enjoy many towns, restaurants and wineries. The hosts respond quickly to any questions and offer tips. Highly recommend.

8 adults (4 couples) enjoyed our stay. These are THE most responsive and informative hosts we have encountered. Our group enjoyed wineries, breweries, biking, hiking, and hanging out in the beautiful backyard. The house was comfortable and well- furnished. I would highly recommend this place!

The house is just as portrayed in the pictures, and the owners are great to interact with, very nice and helpful. The best part of this VRBO for our family is the amazing park across the street. It has numerous hiking trails and tennis courts. We used the park every morning...before heading to our wine tastings!

We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect for us to visit multiple winery locations in the area, the ones we visited were all a 20-40 minute drive. We were able to get to the coast in an hour to visit Bodega Bay, took a few hike waks in the Foothills which was just across the street! Multiple dining and store locations within a short drive. We had flown into San Francisco, which was less than and hour and half drive to the house, although it seems the Sanoma airport is close by. It was the perfect place to relax with friends and cook in between our excursions, Barry was very helpful and responsive- the outdoor area was really perfect.

We had a wonderful stay at this wine country retreat. The hosts Barry and Sue reached out right after arrival to make sure we had communication with them in case we needed anything during our stay. The home was very clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. The location really can’t be beat when traveling to the different valleys for wine tastings.

Our daughter got married in LA and this was our post-wedding trip with dear friends. This home was PERFECT to chill! Very well appointed, classy but comfy decor, large and open space, lots of small "details" that made it unique. The outdoor area is amazing and we spent much of our time outside in the pool/hot tub, sipping wine, playing cornhole, sipping wine, fireplace. We even sipped wine out there! The home is close to everything: wine, shopping, adventure and we certainly took advantage of it! Thanks Sue & Barry for sharing your special space with us. It was just what we all needed!

A family group of 7, ages 44-77, had a terrific time here. Sue and Barry quickly answered any questions we had. Questions were mostly about pool & spa due to CA blackouts and we’re resolved quickly. The house was a short drive to Dry Creek and Russian River Counties where we were tasting for the most part, and only 50 minutes to Napa. We recommend you try this place!

The house was great. Our favorite was the back yard with pool and hot tub. The outdoor kitchen was perfect for grilling our dinners. Our hosts were very reachable and helped with a small issue. I would definitely recommend this rental.

What a great place for a wine country getaway! We went on a couples trip to celebrate my birthday and it turned into my engagement!
Barry and Sue were fantastic hosts. The property was just as described and the backyard amenities were perfection. We would totally stay there again and highly recommend this property. It super convenient to both Healdsburg and Sonoma and we discovered Windsor had some hidden winery gems of its own. Great place. Great experience!

This home was perfect for our adult family of 6 with dog. Barry and Sue were terrific hosts and very helpful with recommendations. Their home was clean and the back yard pool, spa, bar and fireplace Mae for relaxing oasis after a day of touring the area vineyards. We would highly recommend this as a great place to stay!

Barry and Sue are amazing hosts!!! Not only is the house immaculate and well stocked with anything you’ll need but it’s in the perfect location. The Russian River Valley, Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley are easily accessible. The down town has done lovely restaurants. The lovely town Healsdburg is minutes away. We would definitely stay again. Barry and Sue are a wealth of knowledge and happy to share!

Great location to host several family members. The pool was a perfect gathering space. The kitchen was very well stocked with essentials and cooking supplies. The bedrooms were comfortable. We enjoyed being so close to nearby Foothills Park for daily hiking and access to a variety of wineries.

We ended up at Barry & Sue's amazing house when our original rental in Sonoma fell through due to a sale. All, I can say is that I am so glad that original plan did not occur. Their house is a gem, fully stocked with everything you need, including a refreshing pool for the hot days and awesome hot tub and outdoor fire place for the cool Sonoma evenings (and and outdoor kitchen, which we used several times). The beds are comfortable for a good nights rest after long days of exploring all that the area has to offer (and for some much needed naps). The layout of the house gives the guests their own private areas and also ample space for group meals and gatherings. When we were not out exploring vineyards and Michelin star dining, we spent most of our time gathered around the pool or the outdoor dining area. But there were two things that made this place special. 1) Its prime location, making our time in the car and on the road minimal. We were so close to some of the best vineyards in Sonoma while also being close by to Healdsburg and other charming parts of the area. 2) Barry and Sue are amazing hosts, who provides us with award winning lists of things to do during our week long stay and they checked in to make sure the house was in order and we were having a good time. The level of communication and ease of checking in to the house put them at the top of my VRBO host list (and I have rented a let through the platform). If you are considering a trip to Sonoma (and if you are not you really should), their house should be at the top of your list. Thanks Barry and Sue!

Wish we could give more than 5 stars!! We just retuned from staying here. Seven family members were SOOOO happy. Sue and Barry could not be easier to work with and the house has everything you could need for a perfect get away. Truly the kindness and most communicative owners I have ever dealt with. The outside pool area was the topper for all of us escaping the very rainy Seattle Spring. Great place to relax and also entertain family. We were the envy of everyone staying in the area for the wedding. All of us would 100% come again. Now we just need a reason. ;-)
