The house was perfect for the amount of people and the age ranges that we had with us - 6 adults (40's-70's), 5 pre-teen/teenagers, and two medium dogs.Everything was exceptionally clean and tidy. The kitchen had a good stock of spices and the cookware and utensils were more than adequate. We were only given three dishwasher pods, so we had to go get some more since we were there five days and ran it every day. The bedrooms were extremely comfortable and all FIVE of the bathrooms were stocked well with linens and basic toiletries (hand soap, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner).The living/dining room was cozy and provided a nice place to hang out, play some board games, and put together puzzles. We had more people than would fit at the dining table but there was a fold-up table and some extra chairs in the closet and we were able to make it so everyone could eat together. Checking in was the only hiccup, and it was mostly user-error. I forgot to screen shot or write down the second access code and WiFi password before we got there (I had memorized the first access code, but it didn't work) and when I went to look for that info in my email, I realized I had no service. Thankfully, someone in our party had a bar of service and was able to call the help line to gain access to the house. We all had a blast and would definitely book to stay here again!

Everything was perfect except the hot tub was out of order.

Positives: Overall, we had a wonderful time here. The house is beautiful, spacious, comfortable, quiet, and includes plenty of kitchen equipment. Dog-friendly. The host was very responsive to questions. We were able to use the passes provided to play tennis at the Ohlson Recreation Center.Negatives: The house only sleeps 10 people properly instead of 12 like the listing says, so two of our friends slept on couches. Proper sleeping accommodations: 3 bedrooms with king or queen beds (6 people), 1 queen-sized murphy bed (2 people), 2 foam mattresses on the floor (2 people). Carpets upstairs were stained. The host sent two different access codes in the same message, which caused a bit of confusion, but one of them worked.

There seemed to be a disconnect between the Host and VRBO responses. I received two different access codes, description of how to lock the house were not correct, description of house differed from written description on website and photos didn’t match written description, instructions given on how to light fireplace differed from reality (no quarter turn on left side of fireplace). Biggest concern was stairwell. The Sonoma County Code requirement for top of stairs requires no more than 4 inch spacing to avoid falls. The stair banister at the top had six inch spaces between rails. House description clearly states available for kids as young as 0 years old. My 14 month old grandson could easily fall through the spacing. We had to rig up a barrier so he would not fall through. Quite nerve-wracking the whole time he was upstairs (which is where living room and kitchen are. I have photos of stairway and Sonoma County permit requirements. Should be an easy fix for homeowners to place a baby gate across entire area, fix stairway or not allow small children to be in the home.
