Photos and Description of the Santa Rosa vacation house rental Vacation House, 5 Bedrooms + Guesthouse, 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 10-14)

Alta Vista's main house sleeps 10, and the guest house sleeps an additional 4 persons. Alta Vista is a relaxed getaway and the perfect home base for enjoying the Wine Country. When at the property, it feels as if you are at a remote retreat. Incredible swimming pool with spa quality water; 2 great outdoor eating areas; 30 foot by 15 foot putting green! Alta Vista is ultra conveniently located. Situated on a hilltop in the most desirable part of Santa Rosa, Montecito Heights, it has all the privacy of a country home but is only a ten minute drive to groceries, local spas, the farmers' market & restaurants. Alta Vista is a 20 minute drive either north to Healdsburg, north east to Calistoga or east to Kenwood - all wonderful Wine Country towns with excellent restaurants and shopping. A five minute drive up the mountain from where Highway 12 and Farmer’s Lane meet in Santa Rosa brings you to this excellent vacation property.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Santa Rosa, California

Alta Vista's bright, comfortable, main house has five bedrooms and sleeps 10. On the lower level is a large kitchen with island and new gas range, bright breakfast room, dining room, large living room, all with views of the garden, pool area or trees. There is a bathroom on this level. Outside the kitchen double glass doors is an outdoor dining area with a new, 12 foot long redwood table (from a local, old growth restoration forestry concern) that can comfortably seat everyone in your party. The second level offers a very large master bedroom with a queen size bed, three additional bedrooms with queen size beds, one more bedroom with two twin beds, a master bathroom and two full additional bathrooms. Four out of five of the bedrooms have all new furniture & bedding. All of the bedrooms have two separate doors, one to the interior of the home, and another which provides easy access to the garden, pool and grounds.

Set amid the garden is a large, in ground, solar heated pool as well as a spa. This has to be one of the best pools in Sonoma County - not only for its size and vista - but because it has a high end spa quality salt-chlorine generation system which is an ultra clean, natural system which results in fresh water that does not irritate eyes. The solar heating for the pool is available from March 1 through October 31, as the solar thermal tubes need to be drained during cold months. The property's separate guest house is available for larger parties, and sleeps an additional 4 persons. The guest house has a spacious living room with 2 large walls of 10 foot tall windows looking out to trees, and sliding glass doors out to the pool. There is a small kitchen equipped with a stove, sink, & dishwasher, and the bathroom has a large shower, sink, & toilet - all new. There is a separate bedroom with a queen size bed. The guest house is available for an additional fee, for parties of 11 to 15.

Begin your morning enjoying a hot coffee or tea in the garden by the pool, planning out your day. Spend the day enjoying the property, exploring the wine country's charming towns & plazas, hiking or mountain biking through forests with excellent trails at nearby Annadel State Park, paddle boating or canoeing at Spring Lake, winery & vineyard touring, horseback riding or gourmet lunching. Indulge in an evening swim and take in a spectacular sunset through the silhouettes of trees surrounding the property. The central location of Alta Vista is ideal for day excursions to all of Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley, whether for wine tasting or outdoor sports. A quick drive to Highway 101, and you can be on your way to spend the day or evening in San Francisco. You will delight in the comfort, privacy and convenience of this perfectly situated mountaintop retreat.

Other Activities: Shopping, Boating, Wildlife Viewing, Health/Beauty Spa, Basketball Court, Mini Golf, Hot Air Ballooning

My family and I took a nice vacation away from the world after the birth of our third...the Alta Vista retreat was absolutely what the doctor ordered! Way too much space to even describe, but suffice it to say it was perfect for a family of five, our dog, and another couple with their child (just popped in for a night). We rent 4-5 houses each year through VRBO, and remains among our favorites. As much as we ventured up to Santa Rosa for the Sonoma wine country, we ended up sitting poolside for nearly every minute of our stay. Hope to make it up some time in the future.

We stayed at Alta Vista during Thanksgiving 2008 with three families and had a great time. The kitchen is perfect for large family meals and for those that like to cook and generally hang out in the kitchen. The pool house is perfect for the kids to get away from the adults, or vice-versa. The pool and spa were nice to have even on cold nights. We loved the view in the evenings and at sunset. We had a golf putting tournament on the putting green (thanks for providing many putters and balls). For anyone who like to mountain bike, Alta Vista is a mile away from a mountain bikers dream, Annadel State park. They also have a great park for the kids to play. We had kids ranging in age from 4-17 and all of them had a great time there. We'll be back next year.

Review Submitted: September 30, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
WOW! What a fantastic place to get away! The home is simply gorgeous, and the property so entertaining (specially for the kids). We stayed there with 5 other members of my family (9 total), and had my in-laws join us for a night, that stayed in the guest house. Alta vista accomodated us perfectly! The 3 young children (ages 3-8) never left the clean and well-maintained pool and hot tub. The estate had no problems whatsoever sleeping, bathing, cooking for, or feeding 11 guests. Let alone having 3 different areas to choose from where all of us could sit down together...it was just priceless! We were able to visit many wineries, and still spend the majority of our day enjoying Alta Vista, because of its great location. My entire family and I look so forward to staying there again, and certainly recommend Alta Vista to anyone who will respect her beauty.

This was a beautiful and comfortable vacation home. The pool and grounds were great, the view was wonderful and we were still close enough to shopping and wine country. My family and I raved about our "find" on VRBO and will be back again. The manager was helpful and easy to work with. Thanks for the memories!

We had a wonderful time at Alta Vista with our party of friends to celebrate my husband's birthday between August 22-24. The location of the house was very convenient to Sonoma (wine tasting) and San Francisco. The views were amazing and while you felt isolated on the hilltop it was easy to get groceries and dinner in Santa Rosa. The pool with diving board, hot tub and ping pong table were a lot of fun. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space inside and outside for our group to enjoy. The stove top was a little dated but worked fine and the BBQs were convenient. I would definitely recommend Alta Vista to anyone who is looking for a convenient and spacious vacation rental. The managers were easy to work with and friendly, too.
