The location was excellent, and everything was just as described in the listing. It is a little bit of a drive to get to places, but that made it secluded and quiet, which is what we were looking for. We ate dinner on the patio while admiring the scenery, listening and watching birds and the setting sun. The hot tub was a nice way to relax after a day visiting wineries. The kitchen had everything we needed. It's nice when the owner of a vacation property cares about the decor. With the home on different levels, there are stairs which were no problem for us.

We had a wonderful weekend away staying at this beautiful cottage on a hill. Fully stocked kitchen where we would cook and afterwards enjoying the spa while watching the sunset. We will definitely be back

We arrived at night so the short drive up the hill seemed longer than it was but the views are incredible. The property is very secluded and beautiful, we really enjoyed the outdoor amenities. Great place, will certainly stay here again.

This is a really lovely property. It is very quiet, peaceful and i loved being eye to eye with all the birds landing in the nearby oak trees. Magical!

The house was perfect for our needs as we spent most days out at wineries, then came back to relax and enjoy the comforts of the house

Such an amazing space to escape to after a long day of touring vineyards. Enjoyed waking up with coffee in the hot tub and ending the evenings there as well. Comfortable accommodations with all you could possibly need. Felt like a real getaway in nature. Outdoor shower was amazing, deck was perfect, and a great location. We will definitely go back!

If you're looking for quiet, privacy, and a beautiful location, you've found it. In just a few minutes the winding road up Taylor Mountain takes you from the relative hustle of the 101 to a tranquil aerie with the sweet aroma of pine and views of the valley below. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and chocolates, along with a very detailed binder of the home's features and ideas for nearby activities. We loved the decor and enjoyed reading about the artwork. We took advantage of the unexpectedly well-stocked kitchen and outdoor grill to make delicious meals after long days of hiking and wine tasting. You will only need to bring the food you want to prepare - there are ample spices and cookware in the kitchen. The outdoor spaces were perfect for morning coffee and evening meals, and the in-ground jacuzzi was a wonderful way to soothe aching muscles and enjoy a glass of wine under the stars at the end of the day. Even in California February evenings come with a chill in the air, and the host provided space heaters and ample blankets to stay warm in the comfortable bed. We found the location to be the perfect distance to wineries in Sonoma and Napa Valleys, Sonoma Coast State Park, and an easy trip to Santa Rosa to enjoy restaurants and breweries. We also took advantage of the well-stocked game closet, but weren't able to figure out Rummikub. It might have been the wine... Our only regret with this booking was that we didn't plan for a longer vacation. Overall, wonderfully attentive and responsive, yet non-intrusive, hosts and an excellent home away for those looking for peace and quiet, but still close to what this beautiful area has to offer.

The view was absolutely spectacular both day and night especially at sunset. The Hot tub was absolutely fantastic at night to watch the stars. The house was extremely comfortable and it was great to have four bedrooms.
