Photos and Description of the Santa Rosa vacation house rental
House, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths, (Sleeps 8)

Walk up the brick stairs into the living room with hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplace, gorgeous deck, and a hot tub. A lush conversation area has been designed adjacent to a formal dining area in an octagon setting, again with beautiful views. Up several stairs is the kitchen with gas range and family room with large high definition TV, CD/DVD and wireless internet via satellite.

Through the kitchen toward the front of the home is one bedroom with queen-sized bed and full bathroom with walk in shower. There is also a laundry room on this level. On the 2nd floor are master suite, sitting and writing area with queen-sized sofabed, third bedroom in tower location, and full bath with huge tile tub/shower combination.

The fourth bedroom is up a spiral iron staircase to the open loft, and is set up as a sort of meditation area. It features a double/full-sized bed, Japanese style soaking tub, water closet and sink.

The location of this home is unique in that is lies in the middle of 3 wine growing regions - Calistoga/Sonoma/Napa, Healdsburg, and the Russian River Valley. There are literally dozens of wineries within 15 minutes of the home. The Russian River is nearby as well for a canoe trip, fishing, tubing or floating, and Healdsburg is just a quick 20 minute drive north for great shopping, wine tasting and gourmet restaurants.

Mark West Retreat is located less than two miles away from the Safari West animal park.

Fantastic getaway for avid cyclists + wine/food lovers

We had a group of 9 of us that rented this house for the Levi Lepiheimer Gran Fondo and we stayed for 4 nights. We all enjoyed the home. The view was spectacular. This home had all the amenities & we spent quite a bit of time relaxing in the house. We were able to use the BBQ & kitchen to cook delicious meals. The home is decorated in a cozy fashion, very quiet home. If you enjoy being isolated & away from it all this is the perfect home. We enjoyed the hot tub as well as the blue shower/tub. The house is spacious and well lighted. It's on a big hill so for us cyclists, not very convenient for cycling, but once down the hill there are some great riding routes. We all fit comfortably. The downsides: The queen sofa bed is uncomfortable (can feel the bars) & the wifi signal was weak (we did have 5 laptops going at once).

This place is in an absolutely wonderful location. It is truly like being on top of the world. Our family has stayed here more than once and we have nothing but great things to say about it. The pictures are fabulous but the real thing is even better. It has plenty of room for our large three generation family and it is close to so many wonderful things to see and do. It is hard to leave the house to go sightseeing because I love just being there. We also love to cook (and eat!)--the kitchen is easy to use. Just relaxing, reading, and gazing out of the windows is great. We have only been there in the winter over the Christmas holidays, so we haven't been able to make use of the outdoor features. That would even make it more spectacular. Lucky people that will retire here!!

We rented the house around Christmas one year and went back 2 years later. There was something for everyone to do: from the grandparents to the grandchildren! I loved exploring Healdsburg and going to so many great wineries in the area. My husband loves to cook and the house had all the amenities for that not to mention a great market 10min away: Molberrys.
The views are amazing! You don't feel like leaving the house!

Wonderful, relaxing vacation home with fabulous views

I have rented this home more than once. It is fabulous. The views from every room in the house are breathtaking. You wake up in the morning to a view of hot-air balloons floating up from the valley below. The home is beautifully furnished and has a wonderful kitchen if you like to cook. Plenty of space for a large group upstairs, downstairs and on the balcony. Very close to Heraldsburg and great wineries and restaurants. I cannot say enough about how beautiful, relaxing and enjoyable our stays here have been.

The Perfect Perch

5 of 5
Submitted: March 28, 2011 Stayed: August 2010
I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful house this past summer (August 2010) and loved every minute of it! The house is truly unique, both in design and location. The views from the large deck (equipped with well-maintained gas grill and patio furniture) are spectacular, providing a wonderful setting to enjoy any acquisitions from the surrounding vineyards. As expressed in the description, there is easy access to several growing regions. The group of friends that I visited with rented bicycles in the gorgeous town of Healdsburg, just a short drive up the 101, and from there explored the Russian River Valley as well as Dry Creek Valley. I advise all friends and family interested in visiting California wine country to consider this house, a perfect perch from which to explore the surrounding region.
