Beautiful getaway
This place is fantastic! Very well appointed and the hosts have clearly put much thought into anticipating needs every step of the way from the bathrooms to the kitchen to the indoor and outdoor conversation zones with blankets at arm's reach. The back yard was immaculately landscaped, private, with an abundance of seating and relaxation options. Last but not least, the bedrooms were very spacious and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. The hosts were very communicative, friendly, and very easy to contact. We very much hope to be back soon!

We absolutely loved this home and very much enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious and had plenty of room for our family of 6. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub daily. The hosts were very communicative during our stay to make sure all was well. The beds and sheets were very comfortable. They had everything we needed during our stay. Location is excellent and very close to Main Street. Thanks to the wonderful hosts for sharing their wonderful home!

Host profile image
We love the west Sonoma region of California and love to host people in our beautiful home in the heart of region. Spending half our time in San Francisco, California, we love to escape to the beautiful wine country to cycle, hike, swim, boat, and enjoy the scenic beauty and incredible wines and food this area of the world has to offer.

Why they chose this property

For us, this home combines nearly the perfect combination of a rural wine-country feel with views of wooded hills and vineyards, while being sunny, private, and quiet and only a 10-15 minute stroll to town and all the bustling activity of the historic Russian River resort area. The house itself for us combines the best of mediterranean wine country feel with high ceilings, spacious rooms, artisan-crafted wooden doors and hand-hewn beam ceilings, and black-smithed hardware and masonry walls all with a modern, mid-century feel. The furnishings are comfortable, modern eclectic style with lots of room to spread out and get comfortable for you and your guests.

The house spills effortlessly into the surrounding backyard for the best of indoor/outdoor living.

What makes this property unique

It's rare to find a place like ours with the sun and openness. Our house is both private yet has views and is close in to town.
