Fantastic beautiful property. Pool and hot tub were a huge hit. Gas grill, fireplace, etc. our only regret is not spending more time at Barrel House and less time at the vineyards :)
We loved the house and the grounds. We were looking for a house suitable for a family reunion/getaway, now that we are vaccinated. The Barrel House was perfect. The grounds gave our young granddaughters plenty of opportunities to play, and the six goats in a fenced area on the property were a bonus. Also, there must have been five different outdoor seating areas. The house is comfortable and well-equipped. I have never seen a kitchen as well stocked as this one. The WiFi worked well and enabled our daughter and son-in-law to telework while we played with our granddaughters. The house is only about 2.5 miles from Healdsburg, with many wineries in the area.
We hope to return some day. Thank you, Pam, for showing us around.
We decided not to give presents this year for Christmas and take our family on a trip instead. Barrel House exceeded our expectations. The beauty of the outdoors is filled with a magnitude of flowers and trees and vegetables, pool, hot tub AND goats too. It was better than our trip to Italy! The home was so AWESOME and the pictures posted are good but what you get is SO MUCH MOREđ. If you get the chance to visit Sonoma, Barrel House is the place to stay and convenient to the best wineries AND Healdsburg! Thank you so much Megginđ€
Gorgeous, comfortable home. The gardens were an unexpected bonus. My 3 year old grandson and I started every day feeding the goats, searching for strawberries and picking fresh veges. Great kitchen. Loved the outdoor âroomsâ. Pool was heavenly. Highly highly recommend this home.
We had an amazing 3 day stay. A group of 8 friends stayed comfortably. The kitchen was well stocked, the grounds were gorgeous, and so relaxing!! The pool was the highlight.
The Barrel House is in the prefect location, with great spaces for cooking and entertaining! We will definitely plan a trip during the warmer days of summer to enjoy the beautiful pool area and gardens! The baby goats are so cute!
Our stay a the Barrel House was nothing short of spectacular! The property is beautiful and peaceful. The kitchen and bar are well stocked. Gourmet kitchen is not an exaggeration! It was gorgeous and lovely and I had not left before I was already envisioning our next trip there. Would absolutely, unequivocally recommend.
Great spot for a small bachelorette weekend. Backyard and hot tub was amazing. Wish the master bedroom was u locked/available but otherwise great stay!
When coming to Wine Country (Sonoma County - Dry Creek Valley), the Barrel House has a wide array of great features for you to strongly consider....
1) Location - Dry Creek Valley - (Lytton Springs) is a central point of the DCV - wineries within walking-biking distance
2) House - this house accommodated 2 families (8 people) comfortably. The Kitchen and decks are great areas to congregate and other outdoor seating areas are wonderful too.
3) Pool & Yard - IF you come to DCV late May thru Summer, you want a pool and the yard is big enough for playing catch....or games of cornhole! OH...and access to a basketball hoop which we used everyday.
4) Healdsburg - you are just 10mins to get into dwntwn Healdsburg which has a bevy of great restaurants and shops. If you go North a bit, you get to Geyserville or even Cloverdale very easily.
You can NOT go wrong with the Barrel House.
Great house and fantastic outside space . Small SNAFU to start with respect to booking but was quickly resolved . Very nice people to deal with . Would book again !
This property was absolutely amazing. The home was more then weâll appointed with antiques, comfortable seating, and more then ample dining space. For people who enjoy cooking, the kitchen could not have been better equipped. The best part of the experience was the outside seating areas and beautiful gardens. The pool and hot tub certainly put it over the top,
Itâs a big house and a very cool property, lots of space. Definitely sleeps 8 but 4 have own rooms and other 4 bunk up in a smaller kids room so better for families or than for four couples. Everything in working condition and few things that werenât the property manager addressed.
Quiet and comfortable retreat minutes from Healdsburg
I stayed at the Barrel House with my wife and two other couples over President's Day weekend and we left our stay all in agreement that we'd like to stay at Barrel House again. The weather was not great so we could not spend much time outside, no fault of the property, but the grounds are beautiful and well maintained. We could only imagine how nice it must be in the warmer months around the pool. The bedrooms are all good size and the beds very comfortable. There are multiple zones for heating and cooling which means the entire house stays comfortable even when it's cold outside (it got down to the 30s when we were there). The family room with the fireplace is what we enjoyed the most. Six people could relax comfortably next to the fireplace which was really enjoyable after a day of wine tasting. We also enjoyed the kitchen/dining room setup and how open it was. The kitchen is stocked amazingly well with spices and cooking items.
The only minor critiques are that the ice/water machine in the kitchen refrigerator did not work so we had to buy bottled water. Not a big problem since we went to Big John's Market nearby for supplies everyday anyway, Also we wanted to sit outside around the fire pit one night but were told we could not turn it on for liability reasons. Was a little frustrating since that was one of the selling points of the house for us. We did really enjoy spending time by the fireplace inside though.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and plan to stay at Barrel House again.
The Barrel House is perfect. All the amenities. The location is great. Many wineries just around the corner. Would highly recommend this house for a great time in the Dry Creek Valley!
What an amazing property! We had a wonderful time with our friends and there was extreme thought out into every detail of the house and grounds which made it easy to cook, entertain and relax!
