Lots of potential, would NOT recommend
Cool location, on a winery, on the bike path, has farm animals right out in the backyard, very spacious house and is beautifully quiet. Those are the positives. The photos of the outdoor space are very misleading. The grass and weeds were so high we couldn't use it, and the outdoor furniture was rotting. There were random tools, broken bikes, and 4-wheelers sitting outside. We booked this place because we were traveling with kids who love to play outside, and it wasn't really an option. The house was clean at first glance, but there were lots of bugs/spiders and cobwebs throughout. The house had a smell as if it were just wiped down with a wet rag rather than using any cleaning products. I know this wasn't the most expensive place to rent, but it just could have been better.

Here again for the second time!
This is the second time we've stayed at the Winery rental and we love it. There are four of us attending a sewing retreat nearby and this home is located perfectly, close-by to our retreat conference room. We love the fully-equipped kitchen as we take turns cooking each night and then sitting in the living room area to relax. There's a walking path near-by that's perfect for a refreshing stroll through the area as well. A repeat stay should be enough to let you know how much we like the property.

nice place, but...
we enjoyed much about the property... the bedrooms, the kitchen, the common areas were mostly good. a minor annoyance was the lack of closets in two of the bedrooms. the biggest complaint was the strong chemical smells from cleaning products. the living room had a overwhelming fragrance that smelled like it was embedded in the curtains. the laundry room was full of cleaning products and the smell was so overpowering we had to keep the door shut the entire time and even then it leaked out. One family member was unable to stay due to the odors.

Wonderful hideaway
We’ve stayed here twice. It’s a beautiful home inside and charming country feel with farm animals and trails to walk. Wine tasting with Julius at Ektimo was really wonderful. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars overall was due to the crazy price this year compared to last and the first bedroom where I slept, the mattress is on its last legs and needs to be replaced (I slept horribly😞) we love this property and the surrounding countryside

Sonoma County stay
Had a great time at the property with another couple that we travel with frequently. There was plenty of room to spread out in the home and had a kitchen equipped with all we needed. We loved all the animals onsite and say "hello" to them each morning before leaving for our day of tasting. The property seemed so far away in the country, but in actuality it was so close to everything. Loved our stay!!

Nice house in a very remote location
This house was a good value compared to many houses in the SF / Napa area, but was a bit farther out than we had anticipated. If you're looking for remote, this is a perfect house though! Pros - Value, size, farm animals outside, pond Cons - Tall weeds in backyard made area unusable, limited cable options, no privacy curtains in bathroom

Excellent stay on small winery
We really enjoyed our stay! The property was beautiful and charming, surrounded by fields and home to a few farm animals (no noise issues though). Another great amenity is that it's right off a biking/walking trail that traverses Sonoma County. We enjoyed using the trail for exercise and to walk to a few nearby wineries. The home was comfortable & beautifully furnished, equipped for basic cooking. A note: the wifi can be a bit finicky in different rooms, but 3 of us were able to use the wifi to work remotely at the same time. We gladly accepted a free wine tasting at Ektimo Winery, where the home is located, and really enjoyed the wine and chatting with the winery manager!

The pictures of this home does not do it justice! This place is exceptional. Large rooms and just laid out and decorated very well. Jerry was nice enough to allow me to give my daughter a baby shower there and there was plenty of parking as well as plenty of seating inside. I will definitely rent agin next time I am in need of a place in Sonoma wine country.

A retreat getaway
Four of us attended a weekend retreat in Sebastopol and this house served as our base for the 4 days we were there. We each had our own rooms with only two of us having to share a bathroom which makes it easy. The best feature was the ginormous table next to the kitchen where we made shared our meals - really nice. The area is quiet and adjacent to a great walking trail. Great house and location.

Great Stay!
The house was exactly as advertised and quite comfortable for all of us. Jerry was very responsive to all our questions. We made dinner one night of our stay and would say the house has pretty good kitchen amenities (appliances, pots, pans, dishes, glasses). The house had basic spices like salt, pepper, garlic powder, oils, but as expected we did bring our own specialty spices, utensils, etc. We enjoyed sitting outside and watching the goats and alpacas in the paddock and walking the nearby the community trail. We had an amazing tasting at Ektimo winery. Julius was a fantastic host, very knowledgeable and full of great stories. Great place to hang out and relax. We’ll definitely be back!

Jerry was very accommodating and nice. Loved the location, close to trails, and surrounded by vineyards and an on-site farm. We didn't get to do a tasting at Ektimo, but they gave us a bottle of Sauvignon blanc so will definitely drink it. Home was spacious and had many kitchen amenities to cook breakfast and dinner. Thumbs up!

This place had a lot of potential, but no one wants to rent potential.
The amenities of this place were highly lacking. There we no clean dish towels ,bath towels were crusty and had to go buy our own, no hand soap and no shower soap or shampoo. Beds were hard as a rock and the over all feeling of the place felt run down. Very depressing!! on a positive note the goats and llamas were adorable and the walking path was great. oh the photography on the walls was a nice touch. I highly urge the owner to give it a fresh coat of paint, new linens and most definitely stock with towels and soaps. lastly this place needs a deep cleaning and massive amounts of fabrize the odor was horrible. hope this helps.

Lots of space, beautiful scenery, nothing fancy
If you are seeking luxury accommodations, keep searching.... Otherwise, you've found the best spot possible! It was clean and spacious (both inside and outside) with all the amenities we needed. We had 6 ladies for a kid-free bachelorette weekend and it was great to have so much space to get ready and chill out. The THREE bathrooms and TWO King beds are what sold us on this listing, an excellent layout for an adult weekend getaway. The beautiful scenery and walking trails were a huge plus! The host had a thinly stocked kitchen (literally only 6 wine glasses at a winery? And, the coffee maker is only an 8-cup! We had to make 3 pots each morning, ha!), but we found ample tools & dishes to prepare meals. We did have to run the dishwasher after EACH meal due to so few measuring cups & utensils. They also had a generously stocked laundry room - we were able to borrow a cooler, a steamer, and had full laundry available. Bedding was all very comfortable and Jerry was at the house within seconds the two times we needed something. He does live on site, so it was a little awkward knowing he could be just outside our windows caring for the animals - but he was very respectful and we never felt uncomfortable. I would 100% stay here again. Thanks for a great experience!

Winery rental house
Lovely location in winery. Fun to have goats, llamas, chickens, and ducks on property. House comfortable and nice for family. Yard and grounds needed to be mowed, bushes, roses overgrown. House has great potential. Needs top sheets on bed and light blanket for summer. Had comforters that were too hot for summer. It was right near a walking trail that was lovely to enjoy the country side. I would stay there again.

Comfortable, large open home central West Sonoma near bike/walking path, wineries & Goats!!
There is a large open kitchen, dining and living room space with updated appliances, heat/cool system, substantial table / dining space(s) and big beds and bedrooms and ample bathrooms. It’s at the end of a very quiet winery (free tasting & wine included) parking lot but that adds to the charm. You can sit outside and enjoy the many birds on the adjacent pond, feed the kid friendly goats next door or enjoy easy walk/bike to Forestville, Graton or Sebastopol. Great for families with kids - our 5yr old loves watching the animals and riding her bike on the near by path. We’ll be back!

We loved this home and its cleanliness, spaciousness and wonderful energy. The grounds are beautiful too! We enjoyed walking through the vineyard and farm and hanging out by the lake. The airconditioning was a great plus in this time of poor air quality. The check in and check out process was seamless and manager very responsive. The only recommendation we have is to improve the lighting in the living room area! Other than that, perfect place.

This place is spacious and beautiful. It overlooks a pond and the sunset view from here is amazing. In the evening the shepherd sets the goats and alpacas free so you can get pretty close to them. The house itself is quiet comfortable. The manager is very respondent and will try to fix any issues that may come up during your stay. The cell phone signal and WiFi is weak but other than that we really enjoyed the house and the surroundings.

Sebastopol getaway
The property is on the grounds of a winery, directly off the parking lot. This did not cause us any concerns. The neighboring fields have goats and llamas who were fun to watch. The area is extremely peaceful. The house is large and long. It has an immense live edge table that would seat 20. The rooms are comfortable. There were plenty of bathrooms and tvs, important for my family. There were some good restaurants we used for take out food in nearby Graton . I would stay here again.

Relaxing Stay
This is a laid-back, family friendly house in a country setting, with hoot owls to lull you to sleep, roosters to crow you awake, and goats and llamas for daytime company :) Having two master suites is a big plus, and there is plenty of room to spread out in comfort. There are some amenities that are wonderful, others a bit quirky, but overall it is a good place for a family getaway. The on-site property manager, Jerry, is great; he responded quickly to any questions and requests. We appreciated the welcome bottle of Ektimo wine, and took advantage of our free tasting at the winery; Julian was a gracious and informative host. The house lacks an outdoor seating and dining area, but we improvised with folding tables and chairs to enjoy the wonderful summer evenings.

Beautiful property with great access to wine and nature
We came here for a Russian River float trip and had a great time. Ideally located between the river and santa Rosa. The property is beautiful, spacious, and has an amazing wooden table perfect for gathering around for meals. The owner left a bottle of wine for us at check-in from their winery next door! Also was very communicative when I had questions. A major plus was being able to walk around the winery to say hello to the goats and llamas outside, then stroll near the surrounding vineyard.

Spacious Wine Country Getaway
The house is on the grounds of a winery, with a pond next door and lots of goats and llamas. It is spacious and for the most part nicely furnished, but it is in need of a lot of maintenance. When we arrived there were many light bulbs burned out, and the manager promptly replaced them. The windows were really dirty, and the grill barely works. We tried to visit the tasting room, but they were busy in the back with something else and couldn't serve us, even though they were "open" at that time. Overall, I think the house is good for a large group.

Great stay - would definitely recommend!
Four of us were in town for a wedding and enjoyed everything the property had to offer. The house was laid out really well , allowing plenty of space and privacy for us (2 couples) - but would also easily accommodate more people. In fact, we are already thinking about future dates to revisit the house with family. We also loved the grounds (goats, llamas and rooster were great to see and hear). The staff at the adjoining tasting room (Ektimo) were great - and the wine was delicious! We were even surprised by a very nice delivery of some organic tomatoes by the property owners. We would definitely recommend staying here, and like I said, are planning on returning.

Not air conditioned as stated on the listing
The property listed itself as air conditioned. It does not have any air conditioning. The only amenity that it has is central heat. We even had the property care giver come over to validate and had to ask for a standing fan given both the master bed room and the room towards the back of the property were well over 80 degrees in temperature. We have screen shots of the thermostat at 79 and 80 degrees in the corridor leading up to the rooms. Overall I would say the house is visibly uncomfortable in the day time.
