Winemaker's Delight: 3BD/3BA Russian River Valley

Welcome to Wine Country Haven, a splendid 3-bedroom retreat nestled in the heart of Santa Rosa, owned by passionate wine makers. While not on a vineyard, this cozy abode is designed to immerse you in the spirit of viticulture, offering a unique and charming getaway for wine enthusiasts and those seeking a taste of the good life. Indulge in the warmth and comfort of our wine-inspired home. This retreat is perfect for up to six guests, whether you're traveling with friends or family.

Fun Inside: A unique three bedroom/three bathroom floor plan (in essence three master bedrooms) makes this house ideal for large groups of friends or families to make the most of their wine country getaway. An excellent choice for a Thanksgiving feast, holiday dinner party or something in between. What you will like most is that when you settle in here you’ll feel at home.

Fun Outside: A well-manicured backyard with a dining table, lounge chairs and an awesome view start the outside fun. Enjoy your morning coffee or wrap up your day with a glass of wine out here. When you want to venture away from the house you’ll find yourself one mile away from the nearest winery with Kendall-Jackson, La Crema and Korbel being not much further. Beer lovers will find Russian River Brewing Co., Lagunitas, Bear Republic and HenHouse are all right here too.

When you first enter this home you’ll notice a complimentary bottle of wine from the host’s own winery, Hermosillo Family Wines. Their current vintage includes a rosé (elegant & balanced) and a pinot noir (full-bodied & complex). Both are delicious and one will be handpicked for you. Enjoy!

The KITCHEN is built around a center island that serves as a dining counter as well. All you need to cook any meal or serve up delivery/take-out food is here. Modern appliances: a blender, toaster, coffee maker, double-door refrigerator with ice-maker and so much more. Tools of the culinary trade: pots, pans, platters, dishes and utensils.

A solid dining table fills the DINING ROOM. Four chairs flank this table along with seating for two at the counter, and interestingly a lower side table perfect for the kids to eat at (makes them feel grown up having their own table).

The LIVING ROOM has a leather sofa, matching loveseat and end chair (all of which are motorized recliners). Lean back to get a theater-like view of the wall-mounted TV or relax around the gas fireplace.

All three bedrooms have their own bathrooms, plenty of closet space and are dressed with high-quality linens.

BEDROOM #1 is downstairs and has a queen bed along with a dedicated work desk and chair. This bedroom is especially convenient for any guests with mobility issues as they will never need to go upstairs; and will not miss out on a minute of the fun around the kitchen and living room.

BEDROOM #2 and BEDROOM #3 are upstairs. One has a California-king bed and a huge lounge chair; the other has a queen-size sleigh bed.

The BACKYARD is furnished with a six-top glass table ideal for alfresco dining, or enjoying a bottle of wine beneath the strings of Edison-style light bulbs. Along with the table, two fluffy red lounge chairs and a decent-sized grass area provide views of a beautiful field along the back edge of the property, or to lean back and stare up at the stars.

A WASHER and DRYER are here for your convenience. The fastest Wi-Fi Comcast offers is installed here.

You’re provided with TWO PARKING SPACES in the driveway. Extra cars can park on the street in this safe neighborhood.

Your PETS are welcome. Please let us know if your furry friends will be accompanying you at the time of booking. A $200 per-stay charge is required.

Santa Rosa VRBO
Easily accessible VRBO from the freeway made our stay in Santa Rosa perfect. We had appointments in Healdsburg, SR and SF so the location was centrally located, making it ideal for us. Clean and comfortable- we’d stay again!

Fantastic Value
Our visit to Napa Valley was greatly enhanced by choosing this property (Winemakers Delight). Comments... Property condition: Very clean. Nicely appointed, everything one could want/need in kitchen, bath, laundry, etc. Accurate representation: Property looked just like photos, completely met expectations. Bright and cheerful. Communication w Host: Excellent. Prompt, helpful responses. Very simple and smooth. Location: Safe and pleasant. Initially I was reluctant to stay "outside of Napa Valley" - but I'm so pleased we chose this option. Consider that: a) staying here was 1/2 the cost of staying in a comparable place one valley to the East (Napa Valley), b) the drive over to Napa Valley to visit Napa, Yountville, St. Helena, etc is only 35-45 minutes, and c) very importantly - many of the vineyards you'll probably want to visit (example: Francis Ford Coppola vineyard) are actually closer to Santa Rosa than if you stay in Napa Valley, itself. Summary: Do yourself a favor and book your stay at the Winemakers Delight. Great value for very comfortable accommodations.

Wonderful house in great location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The checkin/checkout process was simple. The house is in a very nice neighborhood. The views out the back were peaceful. The house is nicely decorated and the layout of all the bedrooms having a private bathroom was perfect for our stay. Loved our visit to wine country and we can't wait to return!

Found out arrival day our stay was canceled
Arrived in town with no access code to get into the house. While at dinner I called the host and was told the location was unavailable!! Stranded in town with no place to stay. I had to initiate contact to find this out. After multiple messages prior with the host! Worked with VRBO representative to get a refund and they nicely offered to provide reimbursement funds to find a place for the night. . First time in over 20 years with VRBO (Home Away) that I was left abandoned by a host.

Loved the 3 bedroom w/ attached bath setup. That was our main reason for picking this property. Nice little backyard, with plenty of seating. A fire pit would have made it perfect. Very comfortable house, handy location, nice setup. This house will be our first stop next trip to wine country.

Quiet Location
Loved having 3 bedrooms and 3 baths for 3 adult couples. The grill was a great bonus for cooking dinners, however the sprinklers came on during dinner time every evening while we were eating on the patio. Yes, we got sprayed. Kitchen was well stocked. Owner was very responsive to our requests for repairs and supplies but by the third day we gave up and stopped asking for help. Plenty of hot water for showers. Biggest issue was unable to control the a/c by the NEST thermostat. There were no instructions about how to operate it and it reverted to preset temperatures which we were not able to control. There is no internet in this unit!!! The modem and the router are located in the unit next door and we could only use the internet in the living room. No internet in the bedrooms and no TV’s. If you like to sleep in a cool,dark, quiet bedroom, this is not the place for you! Two of three beds were very noisy/squeaky and woke us up whenever either of us moved. Need ceiling fans in all the bedrooms and room darkening shutters or curtains. Highly recommend the owner gets new beds, put internet in this unit and get rid of the NEST or provide instructions about how to operate it.

Can't say enough good things about this VRBO. It was even better than the pictures, most well-equipped VRBO I've ever been in. And nice quality. Leather furniture, nice thick towels, crisp quality bedding, lots of little extras in the bathrooms and kitchen. Four of us old friends getting together and catching up. It was terrific and we will do it again. Thanks Cynthia.

Everything was good we just had a small issue with the door not locking when we left one day. The manager ended up giving us the second door code and all was good. It worked when we come in later that day so all was good.

Nice duplex, nice stay.
We all enjoyed our stay. Even though the property is in a dense neighborhood, it backs up to open land, so it didn't feel confined and afforded quite nice views of sunrises over the mountains. Outside space is small but adequate. A few minor maintenance items knocked our rating down to a 4 from a five, but we'd stay here again.
