Charming cottage, nice country side vibe

Vacasa management was unsatisfactory. Response time and response quality was very bad. We were out of power for the entire duration of the stay for one of the bedrooms. This was never addressed, and Vacasa was not at all effective in the communications. There were warnings posted around the space heater tripping the power. We encountered power trip even without using any space heaters! Pity because the property was really rather charming. However, unlike most family homes, the owners used this for own partial storage. There was a wine cellar room that was locked, a few closets and wardrobes all had huge padlocks across. Seemed really unwelcoming.

We loved that the house was in a very quiet, rural area. There are a couple of nice restaurants and wineries in very close proximity, and it’s a quick trip into Sonoma and state parks. We particularly enjoyed all the wildlife visitors we had (deer, a family of geese and a family of ducks with their goslings and ducklings in tow, lots of quail), a pond full of frogs, and swallows feeding in the air. We even heard fox calls. We also had a once in a lifetime experience of being able to see the Northern Lights as there is no light pollution.

It’s too bad the hot tub wasn’t available, but nothing else.
