This was a fabulous find on our part, and a property we hope to return to again and again. The home, which is decorated so tastefully that it feels like your home away from home, is located very conveniently just outside of the lovely town of Sonoma. The neighborhood is quaint, with a lovely vineyard just down the block. Attention to detail carries throughout the house. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with many supplies that are frequently missing in rentals; not only did it have high quality pots, pans, utensils, plates and silverware, but also included a "gold" filter for the coffee pot, oils & vinegar, salt & pepper and other spices. In the sleeping quarters the linens were as lovely as advertised, and even included great side-sleeping pillows. The living spaces were equally as livable, and included beanbags for easy "floor" sitting and games for kids of all ages. The backyard feels like a scene out of a movie - with a pool, hot tub, high end furniture, and a trellis/pergola complete with both red and white table grapes! The property was impeccably clean, without any visible wear-and-tear.
We arrived late on a Sunday afternoon, and were thrilled to be able to quickly refresh in the fabulous pool and hot tub, then take the short drive into the town of Sonoma for dinner. En route home we picked up wine and breakfast and snacking supplies at the great market suggested by the owners. We ate breakfast outside at the patio table. Each afternoon following our outings throughout the wine country (which were all easy given this great central location), we were able to enjoy the oasis of a backyard with a swim, a glass of wine and some cheese (and grapes, of course!) before heading into town for dinner. Later each evening, we sat on the uber-comfy outdoor furniture and talked and laughed into the night. The one evening it got a little chilly, we "retreated" to the lovely living room. We even were able to enjoy a little fun with ping-pong and at the pool table.
While we didn't use much of the technology, it's all there and high-quality. Cell phone reception is good, and WIFI was fast.
We highly recommend this property, and we cannot wait to return - it really was a treat!
