The yard is the best part

Certainly! Here’s a professional yet honest VRBO review based on your input:⸻We stayed here for a weekend getaway with friends to revisit our old stomping grounds. Check-in was smooth and the house was clean upon arrival, though there was a lingering old or musty odor that didn’t go unnoticed.The kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of dishes and supplies, which was a plus. However, we booked for three people and were surprised to find exactly three bath towels and only two hot tub towels. Bathroom amenities overall were pretty minimal, so be sure to bring your own supplies.A major disappointment was the unexpected 225 fee charged for an “additional guest,” despite the listing allowing up to four people and only three of us staying. Nice home and location, but the extra fee left a bad taste and made the experience feel less welcoming. Just be cautious and confirm all charges with the host beforehand.

Lovely home

The house is beautiful, comfortable, and well-appointed with everything a guest might need. We really enjoyed staying here. The road is a little busy during the day, but not noisy at night. We would love to stay here on a future visit to Santa Rosa.

A Cute Cottage in Wine Country

We stayed here for three days and loved it! The bed was super comfortable and the fireplace was great on cold mornings! The refrigerator was stacked with English muffins, butter, jelly, cheese, crackers, coffee and wine. There were even cold wine glasses! We ate out every night but the kitchen would have been perfect for cooking meals, The owner listed nearby restaurants and wineries which was very helpful.I recommend this cottage for couples who love wine and need a cozy place to relax!

A Delightful Stay

This is a beautiful property. We were comfortable and enjoyed the many special touches. The furnishings and garden were lovely. We value being able to cook when we travel. This home was ideally arranged for cooking and soaking-in the atmosphere of Santa Rosa. It was a great place to celebrate our anniversary. The property manager left us some treats to help us celebrate which was a welcome surprise.

Wonderful Experience

The house was absolutely perfect. Clean. Well stocked. The yard was beautifully maintained. And while in a downtown neighborhood, it felt very private and secluded. And the extra touches, such as fresh cut flowers on the dining room table, the hot tub basket and bottle of wine were nice touches.

Amazing Cottage Style Property

Really just a beautiful place for us to call home while we explored Napa/Sonoma/Petuluma. Cheryl was so kind to give us some helpful hints that proved to be highlights of our trip. We were there for 8 nights, cooked many. Amazing local market and wine bar walking distance. (And a pizza spot). Would 100% stay here again. If i was home shopping, inwould want this home!

Gourmet Wine Country Cottage

This is a charming, well maintained property in Santa Rosa. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and beautiful appliances for cooking, or if you loved to bake. It has an extensive cookbook collection to enjoy, while sipping tea and coffee or sitting on the patio enjoying the lovely landscaped yards. The host is very responsive and easy to reach if needed. I would highly recommend this property.

Would love to return

Cheryl is great! Her home is wonderful! We booked it for the July 4 weekend, which ended up being so warm that we had to cancel our plans to be outdoors and spend most of the time at the property. My wife, in particular, loved the place, and key highlights were the garden with many wonderful trees that had amazing fruits, and the hot tub! The hot tub was so easy to operate, and so clean! The place was stocked with almost everything we needed and very tastefully decorated. We would love to return at a time that offers better weather.

Great energy in this house, Felt like home.

We had such an excellent stay at Cheryl's house/home. Cheryl presents her house as a home. Everything that you have in the comforts of your own home is available. The house has such an excellent, positive vibe and feel. You can feel the positive energy of the history of the house and the care Cheryl has put into it. Very quiet neighborhood and just a few blocks from Wili's Wine Bar. I have already recommended to family and friends.

Courtesy bottle of wine with a nice message, happy birthday in our case as it was my wife’s birthday. Has everything you need for a lovely weekend or extended stay.
