The Ranch, West Sonoma County

Lovely vacation home that suited our family perfectly. The hosts were very kind and communicated well with us!Thank you, Tony and Gabriella, for a wonderful winter getaway!!

This home was very spacious and provided room for everyone on a business trip with spouses. The listing indicates that there is a heated pool, but on arrival we learned that you had to contact the property manager and ask for the heater to be turned on, and that it would cost $100 per day. If we'd known that before arriving, we might have opted in. The fireplace in the living room is also not for guest use, and there is no outdoor fire pit as depicted in the listing. We also had an issue with the neighbor. 5 of us were out in the hot tub at around 9:45pm, not listening to music or being overly loud (again, business trip), just having a conversation. The neighbor next door set a ladder up against his fence and climbed it to yell at us over the fence to be quiet. Again, we were not being loud or listening to music, just chatting. He was very rude and this looked to be a regular occurrence since he already had the ladder at the ready next to the fence. The experience left all of us a bit confused since we weren't being loud anyway, and were told in the rules for the house that quiet hours started at 10pm, but the neighbor insisted it was at 9pm.

We had an excellent experience staying at this property. House is beautifully decorated and spacious. Outdoor setting is great for families, couples, etc. Pool and hottub were a great addition plus the horse rescue farm in the distancea is lovely to look at. My brother lives in Sebastopol so we've rented various houses over the years and this one tops the list. Highly recommended
