The estate is located on the banks of Russian River and only a pleasant 20 minute walk away from Downtown Healdsburg. We arrived after dark to find our friends around the fire pit enjoying some incredible barbeque. I was pretty impressed even with my first walk through of the property in the dark! There are a series of elegantly themed cottages surrounding a main Queen Anne Style home. Whoever decorated this place is a genius. Every corner has a unique detail to discover! There is a rooster house with all kinds of adorable pieces and an Oak house with a tree through the kitchen! The spread out cottages allowed for privacy and serenity. I've never slept better! In the morning, I woke up surrounded by the electric colors of fall. I also noticed that the estate was surrounded by all kinds of colorful fruit trees and vegetation. None of us wanted to leave! Sweet sweet escape. It only took us an hour to get back to San Francisco! I can't wait to go back!

Not cheap, but spectacular! The owners have spared no expense in remodeling, and it shows; a great…read morelocation overlooking the river, with all the amenities. We had 19 of my extended family staying there for a wedding, but with multiple buildings, there was room to spread out so we weren't always in each other's hair. And with a heated pool, ping-pong table, (gas) fire pit, horseshoes, grill, patio+decks (plus frisbee golf in the works), there's something for everyone to do. Truly a wonderful getaway and special treat for my sister's wedding weekend. My two small tips for the owners: 1) buy a few pool toys like noodles and inner tubes, and 2) put a small fence around the frog pond so kids can't fall in.

Our suites were next-door to each other so we were able to share happy hours and breakfasts together. The units are perfectly designed, decorated and located near restaurants, bars and shopping.

The Wine Stay is refusing to refund any of our money paid including the $1500 damage deposit. Total $7153.57. When offered a stay credit for the same house, the same week 1 year later the cost of the house is suddenly $2600 more to stay at then what is listed on their website currently. The Wine Stay may offer beautiful homes to stay in but they are horrible people who are using Covid 19 to turn a profit. Shameful.

We enjoyed our stay very much! Super cute and clean cottage in the heart of downtown Healdsburg…read more It's so white but cozy and charming. We had a very comfortable stay and love that it's walking distance to restaurants, shops and tasting room. Nice little extra perk for the $40 credits to Cousteaux bakery ( which you can access from their back door right across the street) The reservationists are friendly and helpful. Yvonne even helped my husband arranged flowers delivery prior to our arrival for my surprise for our Anniversary. The place has ample space, a cute nook and small kitchen fully equipped with coffee maker, small stove top, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator and freezer. All you would need for a little weekend getaway in this wine country charm. They also have free wine tasting included however you must booked the tasting at least 24 hours in advance. All in all a lovely, quaint and clean place. I would come back for another stay in a heartbeat.

When you are paying almost 700$/night, you simply shouldn't be handed a room that smells like that. The front desk staff just handed us a card to contact the manager, who basically told us we were wrong and offered us no other option but to change the date of our reservation. He actually hung up on us while discussing the issue. Why would we want to stay at this place on another date given the condition and treatment we were given? Additionally, while still in conversation about the issue, keys were taken from us. When the manager refused to offer any other option and told us the room was still ours, we were unable to access the room at all at this point, with no answer from the front desk at all. Please, spare yourself the time and turmoil. This place provides no options and takes advantage of its customers. Tom treated us poorly and hung up on us, rather than finding a solution.

My wife and I had always talked about how one year, we would like to go out to northern Sonoma with…read moresome friends and rent a house in a vineyard. This was the year it happened. Pezzi King has a guest house on the estate overlooking the working winery. The house has 4 king bedrooms, each with its own bath. (One of the bathrooms is across the hall from its room.) And each bedroom has a door opening to the outside with tables and chairs nearby. This worked out great as it allowed 4 couples to go on the vacation. We were together but each had our own space if we wanted it. There was satellite TV hooked up in each bedroom, but no TV in the main common area. Come winter, the fireplace would be nice. The weather was beautiful so we spent most of our time on the deck looking over the vineyards and winery. Two nights we grilled out on the deck's BBQ. There is a full gourmet kitchen if you would rather cook inside; almost overkill for breakfast. There is a hot tub which was used a couple of evenings after dinner. The drive up the mountain to the house after dark can be a little nerve rattling due to some of the hairpin curves. Biggest issue was that the house wi-fi was spotty at best. Most days we couldn't even connect. All in all, we had a good time and made lots of great memories.
