Healdsburg Escape Free Wine Tasting Close to Plaza

From the outset, our host was responsive and, not only responsive, but also knowledgeable and willing to share ideas. The home is beautiful; sitting on the deck was so relaxing (although chilly). Speaking of, there were plenty of comfy and soft blankets and comforters! And I was the cook of the bunch and appreciated all the amenities. Thanks, Daniel and Angela! And for anyone looking at this property, don’t hesitate!

It was great!

I rarely write reviews, but I feel this one is necessary, as property owners need to be more honest and transparent in their listings.Our winter stay at this Healdsburg rental was disappointing. While the owner did partially refund the cleaning fee, the home fell short in safety, cleanliness, and readiness.The most serious issue was an unlocked door in the main hallway that led directly to the attic, creating a significant safety hazard. We traveled with a toddler and had to modify the space ourselves to prevent an accident.Check-in was also problematic. We arrived well after check-in time, yet the cleaner was still there, and the house was not fully turned over. We had to finish dishes and laundry ourselves, suggesting back-to-back bookings without proper preparation.Several amenities were unusable or misleading: the upstairs TV barely functioned, the refrigerator ice dispenser was broken, the hot tub was suddenly unavailable, and we were told not to use the fireplace despite it being prominently pictured (with the restriction buried at the end of the listing).The house was poorly stocked (insufficient towels, mismatched dishes, half-used paper products), trash was already piled up, and outdoor cushions were left in the rain. The home was very cold on arrival and struggled to stay warm throughout our stay.Overall, we spent too much time cleaning and troubleshooting instead of relaxing. I would not recommend this property during winter months.

Our stay was great - the house was beautiful and clean and it was near to wineries and town. The check-in instructions came with offers from local wineries which we enjoyed. We had some minor issues around not being able to get in early as agreed and the heat being off for a while but Daniel was very responsive and we were able to sort things out. Also, the hot tub wasn't working and that was not disclosed when we rented the property. I would stay here again.

There were 9 of us celebrating a 60th birthday. Very accommodating. Beautiful location. Backyard is lovely and peaceful. We went to Mazzocco up the street the first night for a quick tasting, then a limo picked us up the next morning for the rest of our wine tasting. Big table in the dining for us all to play games. Kitchen is well-appointed with a Keurig and sugar and splenda and even flavored syrups. Bedrooms were cozy and plenty of blankets. The listing does not mention a jacuzzi, so we were surprised to find that. Thank you so much Daniel for the great communication and we look forward to visiting again soon.
