Thank you! It was great to have you guys!

Hi Jessica, Thanks so much! Very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure having you and your group! We hope you come back again sometime soon!

Karl, thank you for your five star review! It is great that our property worked out well for you guys. Firepit ban in vacation rentals is a wine country ordinance. Nothing we can do about it. We have that detailed in the description of the property AND in our standard contract. Five cars is the maximum overnight parking allowed in any wine country vacation rental (Sonoma or Napa). We have the maximum allowed parking in the wine country overnight. Thanks!

Thanks Michael. I am glad to hear that you would want to come back and that you had a good time. Also I am very happy to hear that you liked the house and the yard in particular. You brought up several issues and I will address them one by one here. I am severely allergic to pets myself and I can assure you that it is impossible to have cat dander in the house. All the furniture is brand-new and all throughout our ad, we specifically mention that "no pets are allowed in the house because the owner is allergic". So, I don't believe any tenants brought any pets without my knowledge. Regarding the driveway, we have two driveways leading into the house. It is an exception because most houses have one single driveway. I am not sure why you mention it in your review but with one of the driveways open, you should have been able to access the house very easily. The neighbors were working on fixing their driveway, first time in years, and hence the 24 hour closure of one of the driveways. Again, this should not have impacted you at all. Regarding the AC, it is a brand new system. Turns out some fluid was too low and needed to be replenished. And we got it fixed the next day with emergency HVAC service after you mentioned it. And finally about the ants. We've never had infestation even in the rainiest of seasons. There are occasional ants all around Sonoma County because it is countryside after all. -bora

Hi Melanie, thank you for your kind words and five star review. The pool most days in September and October is in mid to high 70s. And it can be heated to an even higher temperature (if used solar heat for no extra fee, if manually for $100). This is all described in the description of the house. Regarding the septic system, ALL of the homes in Sonoma are on septic system. It is the country. Because our home is brand new, it is probably the most robust possible septic system possible. It has a new tank, new bathrooms, new plumbing, new pipes. It is no different than a regular urban system. The only difference is one shouldn't use too much toilet paper in any septic system. Again, this is described in the listing of the house. Regarding the beds, you surprised me there. All bedrooms have, top of the line, brand new mattresses. We personally use this home regularly and we picked the best mattresses for my family. I know for instance we spent about $4K on the mattress in the master bedroom. Thank you again for your review and I am glad you enjoyed your stay.
