We are 3 couples, friends for 25 years, celebrating the first of us turning 60! Napa is a place we have talked about visiting for many years. The weather was picture perfect and the house met all of our needs. The kitchen is well stocked and beds were comfortable. Our favorite part was the outdoor patio, perfect spot after a day of wine tasting, hot tub is also a plus. Our only suggestion is the downstairs bathroom is in need of some TLC, looks like some water damage on the walls near the tub. Other than that a very comfortable house. Chris & Kat were great to work with!

Owners response: Thank you. So glad you had a wonderful birthday celebration and the house & patio met all your needs. Thanks for the heads up on the drip by the tub (water splashing from shower when not closed off completely). Fortunately, a small spot and easily repaired. Chris is on it! Hope you had the opportunity to enjoy the jet tub in that bathroom. Thank you again!

Clean and quiet retreat

Great property well maintained and clean. Only has two bathrooms, not two and one half as listed, but the bathrooms are well appointed. My sisters and I had a great time sharing the home. Downstairs bedrooms are very small and could be too small for couples, but for our girls get away it was fine. The kitchen has everything you need, and the back yard is a great retreat. And quiet! We were impressed with how little we could hear of each other or the outside world. Combine that with the comfortable beds and it is an invitation to sleep in. And clean! Very nice property.

Owners response: Nice meeting you and your sisters! So glad you liked the house. Thank you! Your feedback is appreciated as most bookings have been couples over the years and no one has mentioned bedroom size before. Also timely, recently we have been discussing that we may have too much furniture in those bedrooms, particularly the queen canopy poster bed – it is huge. Both of the main floor bedrooms are actually standard size; 11.5 x 11.5 and the other 11.5 x 10.5 with 9 ft. ceilings and the upstairs master suite is quite large. Thank you again for your comments. Hope to see you ladies again soon!

We very much enjoyed staying at your home. It was clean and comfortable. It is the type of place where you can just kick your shoes off, relax and enjoy a drink. It has all the amenities we were looking
for and you can either walk into town (as we did) or drive (parking is not that difficult) as one of us did. It
is centrally located and the air conditioner worked great! (It was 103 degrees on one of the days we were there!) We had a couple of questions after we arrived and the owner was great in answering them! We would come back....

The listing description and photos accurately depict this property. It was a great stay and wonderful property. Comes equipped with everything that you could need during your stay. The hot tub was wonderful and relaxing while enjoying bottles of wine. Master bedroom upstairs is enormous compared to the other two bedrooms on the main floor. Nice Open Kitchen and Dining Area. Everything was working and in order when we arrived. Property was very clean and well maintained.

We enjoyed our three night stay at this house. It was conveniently located in central Napa - close to everything. The house is very well kept and had all the amenities we excepted. The backyard has a spa and patio to hang out on, which was nice. This house met all our expectations and we would choose it again if we visit Napa in the future with a group of six.

Four friends and I stayed at this property for 4 days in May. It was very clean, well appointed, and cozy. The owners were extremely accomodating. (They even had wine glasses engraved for us.) The kitchen was fantastic, that is where we spent all of our time. Fully equipped, and a gas stove too! We cooked every night. I have rented homes in Napa through VRBO for many years, and have stayed in at least 10 properties. I rate this high on my list. The location was very good, walking friendly and safe, easy access to Hwy. 29, Silverado Tr., and downtown Napa. As in many parts of the city, the neighborhoods can have houses that vary from one to another. This is indicative of a city that is ever improving itself. A refreshing change from the more trendy and upscale towns in the Valley. I would definetly stay here again, we loved it.

Bachelorette Weekend
Prince

Review submitted: June 11, 2012
Date of arrival: April 20, 2012
The house is much better in person than the pictures let on. The house was clean, everything worked well and the patio and backyard areas are great. The only complaint is that the neighbor next door is a pain. We followed all rules (no noise after 10pm, no parking in his driveway) but he still harassed us 4 separate times with silly requests and accused us of lying to him. He is the only reason I wouldn't rent this place.

Our group of six (3 couples) greatly enjoyed this Napa House! We loved being able to grocery shop locally & eat our breakfasts in before heading up north to the vineyards & quaint towns of St. Helena & Calistoga each day. We liked that a cooler & picnic basket were available to pack picnics for our lunches out - nice fully stocked kitchen! We enjoyed the grill & outdoors sitting area. Cute bakery & breakfast place just a short walk away!
Great e-mail communication by Chris in preparing & planning for the trip! Kat available on phone when we arrived for a few questions - very friendly owners :)

I stayed in the home with 5 girlfriends for my 30th birthday trip and loved this home. The house was the perfect size for my group and was extremely clean. I stayed in the master bedroom and the bed was extremely comfortable and it had a very spacious bathroom as well. We had a rental car during our stay and it only took us 2 minutes to get to the main stretch of 29 where most wineries are located; we also went to Oxbow Market and that was only minutes away as well. I would definitely return to Napa and stay in this home again.

This was the first time we rented through VRBO and we couldn't have been happier with the location and condition of the house! We wanted to be in Napa to see our daughter cross the finish line running in her first marathon and the home we rented was perfect for us to share a wonderful weekend with our four grandchildren, daugther and son-in-law! The house was super clean and the kitchen was well equiped with everything we needed for our stay. The neighborhood was great for exploring with the kids and we could walk to downtown Napa for dinner/ice cream and we all enjoyed relaxing in the Hot Tub at the end of the day! Thanks for sharing your home with us! We'll definitely be coming back to Napa on our trips to the West Coast to visit with our daughter and her family and we'll be repeat renters through VRBO when we do! Thanks to Chris & Kat for the welcome you extended to us!

“Hi Kat and Chris, We loved our stay in your home – it more than met our expectations! You have done a wonderful job in all aspects. The interior is beautifully decorated and very comfortable – felt like we were staying in a Tuscan villa! All our needs were well met from a well-equipped kitchen, to comfortable and attractive furniture/beds, to lush towels and linens, and to dry firewood for outdoor pit and indoor fireplace – we used both! The exterior is equally appealing. We loved having vineyards so near and your landscaping is charming. And, as the saying goes – location, location, location. The home couldn’t be better situated!
Obviously from the above, we would love to come again. We’d like to come when the roads won’t be so crowded with other tourists, maybe after the harvest season. When would you suggest?
We basically made this a sparkling wine tasting/educational trip and it overall was an experience worth recommending. We, of course, had some good dining outings too.
Thank your for allowing us to stay in your truly lovely wine retreat."
