We had a fabulous time during our stay. The house was lovely and in a perfect location. And the owner Julie could not have been more helpful and responsive. We would recommend to anyone looking for a group trip to wine country.

We loved every second being at The Maefield Vineyard House. It was an all around perfect weekend getaway with 8 friends. So cozy, clean, perfect location, private, and had so many personal touches like fruit, bread, a complimentary bottle of wine and tasting at Merry Edwards, etc. Hope to come back again soon to Russian River and stay here again! 10/10!

Absolutely beautiful! So clean and in the middle of a vineyard. Julie, owner was great at communicating and even met us at our wine tasting. The place had plants and fresh flowers. Beds were so comfy. We had such a blast in the hot tub and playing cards at the large redwood table!! Would totally recommend.

My closest friends and I booked Maefield Vineyard House on New Year weekend to have a quiet celebration away from it all, and it was perfect. The kitchen was well-equipped enough for our group of foodies, the fire was cozy (and the firewood was easy to access), the hot tub and sauna provided a great way to warm up on the chilly days, and there was plenty of room for us to both gather when we wanted to and have space when we needed it.
I especially appreciated that there were plenty of extra blankets, towels, and linens, and that the laundry room had scent-free detergent!
My only suggestion for improvement would be a little more light--especially on the dark, drizzly days, even with all the lights in the house turned to max brightness, it felt dark.
I am looking forward to booking this place again!

We were a group of six staying at Maefield House. This is an amazing property and we are already dreaming of a return visit! Julie is the contact for the property and was very helpful. She gave us some great suggestions for local restaurants and responded to any questions we had immediately. She kindly had some local bread and fruit for us on arrival and even some eggs from her own chickens! The house itself is breathtaking. All of the guest rooms were perfect. The large wooden table in the dining area is what caught my eye when I was researching different properties for our stay - and it did not disappoint! The kitchen is a great size for cooking for large groups and there is so much space to entertain between all the outdoor areas too. A wine tasting is included in the stay and this was a perfect way to start our weekend. We had bikes delivered to the house on the second day from a local bike shop in Forestville called Russian River Cycles.. the owner is Brian and he was super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend cycling as part of your trip. We cycled from the house to Sebastopol and it was one of the highlights for me - second to waking up in the middle of a vineyard! Don’t hesitate to book this property - you will not regret it!!

Julie was wonderful for check in process and it was very straightforward. The house was perfect size for two families. Beds very comfortable, well stocked towels etc and the welcome gifts of fruit, eggs, bread and coffee made the arrival that much easier.
Good HVAC and hot tub and sauna all in working and great condition.
It’s very much a rental which is double edged- wonderfully clean and access to linens, amenities but could be softened up with a rug or two and some art but hey it’s a good place to rest your head regardless in wine country! Encourage you to plan on a sunset dinner as the deck and view over the vineyards is wonderful

We are four couples who annually travel together. We chose Sonoma County for our destination this year. We were delighted to find the Maefied House in our search. It is situated right in the midst of a vineyard with occasional on-site field hands working the crops. It is so cool! The house is set way back from the road, so it is very private. There is a gate at the property entrance, so it feels very safe, too. As you drive down the long driveway, you can see grape vines on both sides of the driveway. It truly is remarkable!
Our communication with the host was great from the start and she made sure that our stay was top notch. We even got to meet her which was a treat too.
On arrival, our host had so many little gifts for us including fresh fruit, bread, fresh eggs, and cream and even a bottle of wine! The cupboards were loaded with spices and extras. Not a penny was spared on the quality of the amenities. Everything in the house is high-end including furniture (an amazing redwood dining table!) appliances, linens, cutlery, glassware, etc.. We loved the attention to detail the owners have given to make the guest’s stay a little slice of heaven.
The house comes with a hot tub and even a sauna! Each bedroom is very comfortable, and each has little balconies where you can sit and look out at the vineyard. So lovely. The front and back patio spaces are so pleasant, too. Just sitting outside looking at the vineyard is a vacation in and of itself!
Even though we were out of the house a lot, exploring the area, since there is so much to do, the times spent in the house were so relaxing. The rooms are all so cozy. There is a plethora of towels, and the bathrooms are equipped with essentials as well.
A special treat was the wine tasting that our host provided for us at the local winery that owns this guest house. Merry Edwards winery is just down the road a piece and we were treated to an hour of wine tasting along with lots of history provided of the area and education on why this area is so perfect for growing grapes. We learned that the Maefied House sits on the vineyard that supplies some of the grapes for the Merry Edwards Wines!
Everything you need is provided and if not, you are not far from a grocery store for food and sundries and just a text away from getting in touch with the host.
We have stayed in several rental properties over the years. We can honestly say we had absolutely nothing negative to say about this place!

This house is perfect for 8 to 10 guests! There are four large bedrooms all with full bathrooms attached as well as couches in the family room. The kitchen is awesome as well as the long dining table. Nice outdoor patio table. Serene setting in the middle of a vineyard. We would stay here again!

I could not recommend this home more. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful from start to finish. The home is absolutely beautiful and allowed for an incredible reunion with friends. Waking up to the vineyard views was a huge treat. It’s well maintained, gorgeous kitchen area for dining, the rooms are beautiful with private bathrooms in each. We were gifted with a wonderful tasting at the Merry Edward’s Winery and we hope to return here soon!

This property is unbelievable! The location is amazing - close to town (Whole Foods, Safeway, the Barlow, restaurants) - as well as dozens of premier RRV wineries. The house is the perfect place for many couples to stay with every bedroom having its own full bathroom attached. The kitchen is very well stocked and is open to the dining room - great for cooking for a group and evenings full of wine! The sauna and hot tub were also in immaculate condition. Julie was a fantastic host - professional and made our check-in / out experience very easy. Would stay here again and again!

A great house for 4 couples on a long weekend wine tasting nestled in the vineyards. Communication with property manager was great and she met us when we got there and showed us around. The location was wonderful for wine tasting in the area, it even includes a tasting at Merry Edwards Winery. We especially enjoyed relaxing at the end of the day, rotating cooking/cleanup duties and playing games. The kitchen is fully stocked with whatever you need to cook with and there were farm fresh eggs, jam, artisan bread, coffee and creamer for Saturday.
We can’t wait until the next time.

Beautiful Vineyard Property
We spent a week at this beautiful property while visiting for our son's wedding in Monte Rio. The home is spacious, clean and well maintained. The kitchen and dining room are large as are the 4 bedrooms and bathrooms. Everything is updated and modern. There is a large outdoor deck with plenty of seating. All surrounded by a lovely Merry Edwards vineyard. This is a working vineyard and interesting to watch daily activity. Julie Foley is the manager and she is wonderful. Very helpful with any issues. I would highly recommend this property!
