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.

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.

Unique property and extremely comfortable bed in the primary bedroom. The only negative is the fairly dirty carpet in the primary bedroom.

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.

Love the house and treat it as our own ; but the 5 star goes to 4 as it has some simple maintenance issues
I will describe to Vacasa.

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.

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.

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.

We had a great stay at the home, very clean house and beautiful yard. I personally love the location as it's central between Napa, Sonoma, and Alexander Valley. Thanks for a great stay.

great house
The house was beautiful and on a very quiet street. It was nicely stocked with anything needed. The only thing keeping this from a 5 star review is that the hot tub was quite dirty and unable to be used and the landscapers left the long grass clippings all over the yard. I would stay here again, if the hot tub issue would be fixed.

This place was one of the most beautiful places that I've stayed in using any of the online house rentals. The views were gorgeous and the place was immaculate. Would highly recommend staying here if going to Sonoma/Napa.

As others have mentioned some parts of the house are dated, but the property is BEAUTIFUL. It's in a wonderful location situated between Sonoma and Santa Rosa. Really beautiful. There were ducks, geese, and even a crane.

Beautiful & generally spacious comfortable property. A few maintenance items that could use a little attention - no hot water in sink in master bath, handle missing in other bathroom door, freezer leaked water when opened. We were able to report these issues the day after our arrival but maintenance could not be completed during our stay.

The house feels run down and dated with water damage on the floor in numerous areas.. The kitchen as well equipped as it looks with a built in espresso machine (bring whole beans if you plan to use) and warming drawer but something basic like the microwave was small, cheap and wobbly. Drinking glasses were few and small nothing substantial to make a cocktail or a big glass of water. The cooking utensils were cheap and both spatulas were melted, something housekeeping should see and replace. The master bathroom sink had the hot water turned off because it constantly runs otherwise. The back door did not lock easily and once we got it locked we didn't open it again. The house did get very cool and space heaters are throughout but caution with where you plug them in, there are labeled outlets but we still tripped a breaker.
The hot tub was running and clean which I was leary of after reading previous messages.
The house is near many wineries but a drive to town. Aside from these maintenence issues the house was clean and the stay was enjoyable.

We enjoyed our stay here. It is a very beautiful property. We would definitely stay here again.
There were a few easy-to-fix shortcomings that you will want to fix for future guests:
1. No hot water in the master sink. 2. Very short on silverware and drinking glasses. 3. No lids for the large cooking pans.

We loved everything from the location of this home to its spacious property, wonderful outdoor spaces and perfect layout for a 2 bed/2 bath. Hot tub was a great perk. Already planning when we should come back!

Fantastic experience overall. only downside was the guest room bed is showing its age and was not very comfortable (completely worn and sunken on one side). If this was fixed easily would have been a five star perfect rating!

Property was beautiful but had some issues. Gardeners came when we were showering and water pressure was significantly reduced and then it just completely shut off. Maybe have the gardeners communicate with guests before they start watering if there’s an issue. Standing in a cold bathroom waiting for the water to come back on was not enjoyable and you only get one tiny bath towel per guest so that was fun. Some of the bathroom windows have no blinds so having the gardeners walking around the house while showering was interesting. Hot water in master bathroom sink didn’t work at all. Some of the lights in the house are not labeled which was just annoying and the mattresses were seriously uncomfortable. Also, one of my friends almost killed herself on a loose stone on the walkway in front of the door so that was scary. On the positive it was a great, quiet, central location near food, wineries and hiking. The house was stocked with plenty of spices and cookware and it was very clean.
