Livermore Vacation Rental house

I am a repeat guest at his lovely house and would never dream of staying anywhere else, while in this area, except here. The owner is always a pleasure to deal with and has provided a clean and well stocked house on each of my visits(3 times). The peaceful surroundings are nothing short of perfect and when the rest of the family come up to enjoy a family gathering, there is plenty of parking for all.
Each room is filled with something old and beautiful. You will never mistake any one of these bedrooms for a motel room. The decor is too well put together, too elegant and much to comfortable.
I love the fact that I don't have to worry about a close neighbor looking at me, as there is no one close enough to see in any window. In fact, there are no window coverings on any of the windows, which I love, because there is nothing in the way to block the view, which is great from every window in the house.
At night, the sounds remind me of the farm I grew up on. As a young girl, listening to the frogs, crickets, coyotes and owls. This house takes me back to that time and I am totally relaxed.
Admittedly, the first time I drove up to the house, I was a bit taken a back by the road, but it was worth the drive. At the top I found Heaven.
Just a short distance away, in the town of Livermore, I found great dining, live theater and a wonderfully delightful downtown area. This is the perfect place to stay and still be close to other attractions.
But the house, the house is a wonderful place. Pictures could never do this house justice, you just have to experience it for yourself. I strongly encourage any looking in this area, to give this house a try.

My family recently stayed at this beautiful home while in the Bay Area for a Family Reunion.
As soon as we entered the home, we were immediately impressed with the lovely marble entry with the chandeliers hanging from the tall ceiling. As the owner and her assistant showed us from room to room, ohs and ahs from every member of the family filled the air.
Each room was tastefully decorated with antiques, from the beds all the way to the light fixtures (some even from a ship) The kitchen had everything needed to cook anything we wanted, I mean this kitchen had things that my kitchen at home doesn't even have. I was impressed with the way the owner had thought of even the youngest family members, by dedicating a whole room for them to play in. The owner referred to this room as the 'playroom" and that is exactly what it was, complete with toys(all kinds of toys), board games, puzzles, outside games, a tv, a reclining couch and of course an antique desk. She also had available for use, a portable play pen. The Master bedroom had its own small library with a wood burning stove and patio doors leading to the outside. I spent a lot of time, just relaxing on the couch(which is also a hide a bed), glass of wine(from one of the local wineries) in hand, reading and looking out at the wonderful view from the library.
Did I say wonderful view? This view is simply to perfect to but into words. As impressed as all of us were with the inside, once we made our way to the back patio and witnessed this view..we were speechless. So impressed was I, that I didn't hear another word being said. Later when it got dark, we lit a fire in the fire pit and all of us sat quietly, listening to the sound of coyotes howling at the moon(it was full), the owls calling out and breeze blowing lightly through the trees. All of this while sitting under a blanket of stars.
Needless to say, if you and your family want to relax after a day of going to the regular tourist stops, this is the house for you.
The owner encourages you to come up and take a look at the property before making a commitment. We were truly impressed with this, as it proved that the owner had nothing to hide and she recognized the importance of a satisfied customer.
We will be back. In fact, our niece is planning on having her Wedding Reception at this house, with 200 guests to attend.

Our family rented this vacation home in July 2009. The description and pictures on the website did not hold true. The hottub was broken, the gas grill did not work properly, there was no computer available, no internet access, and the kitchen had old and expired spices that could not be used. The house did not have any curtains or blinds on any of the windows...not even in the master bathroom. There was no comfortable patio furniture to sit on...no chairs, no table and no umbrella for shade. The owner never returned my phonecalls, and withheld a large amount of our refundable security deposit without providing any proof or receipts accounting for the extra charges that she claimed us for. I would not recommend this property!
