Nice home

This home has a beautiful living space with a gourmet kitchen. We were able to cook and enjoy our time there. The location was the main reason we selected the property. Oddly there was no TV in the main rooms, only in one of the bedrooms. The bedrooms were nice, although the beds and pillows were hard. There was insufficient lighting in most rooms. The bathroom trim was very rustic and looked shabby. Unfortunately we experienced a sewage back up in one of the bathroom showers. This ruined our stay.

Kenwood Mess

The property was terrible. It did not match the description or pictures. Overall dirty, filthy carpets, door that did not lock, outside property dirty, no gas in BBQ, abandoned car in 1 of 3 parking spots, ...... We requested to be moved and Vacasa quickly did so. Although not in an ideal location for our plans, the property was better. They indicated they had complaints before and would remove the property from their offerings. They should inspect these properties prior to renting.

Yearly visit to wine country

The property itself was beautiful! I thought we had found our yearly rental; however, Vacasa has left a bad taste. the hot tub was listed as an amenity. I corresponded with the owner of the house to see why we had to pay an additional charge for the hot tub and his response was for upkeep. Up on arrival, the hot tub was full of frogs and other debris and I contacted Vacasa And was told that it was not listed as one of our amenities, however, in the handbook laying on the bar where the guidelines for usage of the hot tub. Vacasa quoted on the phone that they would refund the hot tub fee. To this day that has not been done. I would rent the house again if it was under another company, but I would never rent from Vacasa again.

Nice rural location. Loved the rustic character of this small home on a big yard. Local visits by deer along with the sounds of frogs and roosters. I’d love to come back.

Average quality

We booked this vrbo for the location and hot tub. When we arrived the yard was very overgrown and almost unrecognizable from the pictures provided online. The hot tub was dirty and not functioning. After we booked the listing was updated removing it but it’s still heavily discussed in the reviews. Very disappointed in this. The only tv is in the master bedroom and has 2 chairs to be used during viewing. Very poor lighting in master bath. Loud chicken farm next door. Other than that the kitchen was ok, decent grill and house was clean.

Huge Disaster

When we arrived we found the backdoor did not lock at all. We contacted the property management team but received no help. It's a pretty remote area so decided to just barricade the door and hope for the best. When my husband moved a small sofa to barricade the door, a huge lizard ran out from under it! It ran under the cabinets before we could do anything about it. At this point it was late and the baby was tired so my husband went to lie down with him while I continued to try to reach to management for help. He then told me that when he got to the bedroom he found animal feces all over the pillows of the bed. We were exhausted so we were determined to try to make this place work for at least the night. So we went to set up the pull out bed and found food and rat poop in that bed! This place was such a huge health and safety hazard we gave up, booked a hotel elsewhere and left. I'm still trying to get my money back for this disgusting place.

Lovely Property

Very pretty house and location. Know - there are no HVAC ducting, in the house, that I could see. I think the house heating may be radiant-floor heat. It takes +-36-hours for the house to warm up. Plan to be cold, your first night. In each bedroom closet, there is one of those portable, plug-in oil-radiator heaters. If you arrive and it is chilly, locate those portable heaters and plug them in, right away. That is the only criticism I have, of the property. Otherwise, it is a beautiful house in a beautiful, serene setting. I hope you enjoy your stay, as much as we enjoyed ours.

Good Layout but HVAC system has issues.

We stayed in February. Upon arrival the house temperature was 58 degrees. We received an email stating that the house was ready for us. I checked the thermostats; the system was not turned on. We turned it on in the living room and master bedroom and then went to the grocery store. We came back and hour later and it was still 58. We went to bed with all the blankets we could find. In the morning it was 62 degrees. The temp in the house was never above 68. We lost electricity in the master suite when we plugged in the space heater. It took 3 days to get fixed. The hot water in the master sink does not work. On the plus side, there are new dishes right alongside the old, chipped ones.

There is no TV sitting room as listed. The TV is in the master bedroom with two chairs. The heating/cooling system is disappointing; very hot when we arrived and got too cold overnight. The management company has atrocious customer service. We notified them at check-in that the back door doesn't lock and the hot water spigot in the master doesn't work. We got lots of promises to send a repairman but no one came.

Property needs a lot of work

The location and layout of the house is great for Napa Wine tasting. Inside, the furniture could use updating - tears on furniture in living room. The hot water nozzle in the main bath did not work. The air did not work even after trying all the tips from the property manager. Outside, the property was a MESS!! The grass in the front yard was up to our knees (no exaggeration). We contacted the property manager and they said they would try to get it mowed, but no guarantee. It was not mowed while we were there. The back area was also overgrown (although not as bad as the front). The outdoor furniture was completely unusable. They were full of duck poop and debris from outside. The back patio furniture cushions were torn and tossed about...again, unusable. I would have given this property a better rating if they just would have tried to clean up the yard, but unfortunately, that was not the case. I saw a prior review about this same thing and the property manager replied that the weather in CA was the reason why it was in such disarray. This simply cannot be the case - I really wish I could upload pictures here. It is evident that this is ongoing issue. It's a shame it was in this shape because it would have been nice to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine around the pond.

Wonderful Kenwood property

We enjoyed the house and the fabulous location. Equi-distant to Healdsburg and Sonoma. Very beautiful property with a small lake where we enjoyed a Blue Heron, an Egrit, and a slew of deer and ducks. The outdoor space was very enjoyable, and the hot tub was clean and in perfect operating condition. Our only suggestions (complaints) were: 1) the outdoor space and furniture was not clean upon our arrival. 2) the kitchen was new and spacious but was not stocked well enough with essentials like silverware and plates. We had to wash all of these items after every meal. 3) all of the dinner plates were chipped. It would be very easy for the owner to re-stock the kitchen with essential items and utensils and this place would be a FIVE rating. The management company Vacasa was very responsive and handled all of our questions immediately. We enjoyed our stay and will certainly consider staying in this house on our next trip to Sonoma.

Needs to TLC

Pluses: Location, setting, California Mission Architecture, Birds (egrets, heron), deer, Kitchen design and appliances, screens on doors and windows. Delta: no hot water in master bath sink, thick mold on back of house where wall meets outsite patio with evidence of flooding into living room, lots of broken unsafe pavers in front of house on two steps to door, possibly leaking toilet in master bath, only three tablespoons one teaspoon, lots of chipped dishes, kitchen utensils worse for wear, lots of bird dropping on outside chairs more than a few days worth. For the price they are charging they should fix this place up. It would be an incredibly lovely place if it was taken care of.

Needs a lot of TLC!!!!

Clean on inside, however the outside furniture is beyond needing to be replaced. The hot tub was green and had a disgusting brown ring around top (have photos). The screen door to the 2nd bedroom was broken -- this is the only access to air for this room - so you couldn't leave the doors open - as the screen would let various bugs and critters in. Could be a great house - but if you are going to list on VRBO -- it needs some upkeep to the common areas definitely.
