It's not just a place to stay; it's an invitation to craft lasting memories in the heart of wine country.

The first thing you will notice when you walk into this 2,600 square-foot residence is either the expanse of the vaulted ceiling or the gleaming bottle of wine the owner has gifted to you from his collection at Christopher Creek Winery in Healdsburg.

The KITCHEN is separated by a large center island. One side of the island is a counter with two high bar chairs. Breakfast (or that complimentary bottle of wine) can be enjoyed here.

All that you need to whip up a gourmet meal is here: an oven, stovetop, microwave, blender, coffee maker, dishes, utensils, and serving platters.

The 6 BEDROOMS have queen-size beds with soft bedding, plenty of closet space, and good sunlight.

A lovely home in a great town to visit!

We enjoyed excellent communications with the owner's rep, and discovered a generously sized home with quality fixtures and furniture, a well-laid-out back yard for a grilled dinner, a FULLY-equipped kitchen with virtually every tool or utensil you can imagine, and generous provisions provided by the owners (a bottle of their own winery's wine, access the most complete and sophisticated spice cabinet I've ever seen in a rental, and a generous supply of excellent breakfast cereals. It was a lovely stay.

Items need attention

While overall we had a good stay there were some issues that prompted the 3 star review. The listing shows this home as very glamorous when in reality it needs some TLC. Living room windows didnt lock. More thorough cleaning of downstairs bath was needed. Bedroom smoke alarm started chirping in the early morning hours. I see another review where this happened. Batteries should be replaced in all alarms. Written instructions for the home and checkout instructions would be helpful. and placed at the home is needed.

We will return!

Lovely home with just what we need - 5+ bedrooms! Quiet, residential neighborhood close to everything: parks, grocery shopping, Hwy 101. Do not miss the opportunity for a VIP wine tasting at the home owner's vineyard. We were blown away by the hospitality, amazing view from the winery's deck and delicious wines. This was an unexpected highlight of the weekend. We will return soon - it's close to where we live in SF Bay area but feels world's away with all the wine country has to offer.

Friends Retreat

This home is huge and had everything we needed. There were 6 of us women and we each had our own bedroom. We are a sewing group and we get together every year like this. There is some small scuffs on the walls that could use new paint but that did not take away from our trip. The home is beautiful and has a nice sitting area in the back yard. We would stay again. Thank you Cynthia.

All we could have hoped for

My family (an under 1, two 3 year olds, an 8 and 11 year old and 6 adults) stayed at the house so we could all be together for an long wedding weekend. Great location, easy to run back and forth to the brides home and venue. House was clean and had lots of kitchen extras. Plenty of clean linens, extra blankets and space for everyone. The neighborhood was safe and parking ample for our family. Only issue we had for the upstairs bath worked as a shower for not a bath for the littles. Will check availability on this house when we visit the area again.

Lovely clean home

This home is very clean and comfortable. Real plus is the 6 bedrooms. Good location, very close to shopping, restaurants and Starbucks. Nice neighborhood, felt very safe. I'm only giving it a 4 star rating because communication with the host was disappointing. It took 1 VRBO message and 1 phone call to receive our check-in instructions - 24 hours prior to check-in. Took 3 hours to fix a smoke detector beeping every 5 minutes. She also didn't respond to a message requesting reservations at their winery, so we missed the special wine tasting she was offering. Otherwise, we really enjoyed this home.

Perfect for small family gathering

We spent a long weekend here for a family 'Girls Weekend.' We chose the house because it was reasonably priced, had bedrooms for each woman, and was located near some of the wineries we wanted to visit. The home was easy to get in and out of, very clean, and just what we were looking for. Only drawbacks are there were some minor maintenance issues, although all noted by the owners as 'to be fixed' and the TV was quite complicated for anyone over the age of 25 to operate (remote was an X-Box controller and there were no instructions on how to use it), and did not include any network TV channels (only Netflix streaming). Also worth noting, this is not the house for you if you're looking for a lavish back yard. There IS a back yard, but it is dirt/ weeds and a folding table and chairs. Not an issue for us, but worth noting for others who may be hoping for more outdoor space. :-) Overall, this home was as-advertised, and for the price, met our expectations. Thank you!
