Russian River Estate Toggle favorite

We rent in Sonoma County each year and this is the best house we've rented yet. You get what you pay for here. It's not an inexpensive place, but the views and amenities are outstanding. The views in the pictures are exactly what you see when you're there. I have a picture of my daughter with a hot air balloon rising behind her. The interior of the house is spotless. Arturo has the entire kitchen labeled so it's easy to find things and to remember where to put them back. There's coffee, spices, oil, etc. The kitchen is outstanding and there's a Weber grill outside if you care to cook while you're there. I cooked most of the time since the kitchen was top notch. The three bedrooms are spaced out so that you're far enough away from each other. It's perfect for two or three couples. We were a family of three and it was perfect for our needs. There's a full bath for each bedroom with the master bedroom having an ensuite bath. There's no shortage of towels, blankets, etc. The pool is gorgeous and there are a good number of lounge chairs just like in the pictures. There's extra propane for the fire pit and grill. The house has centrally controlled AC and heat across 4 different zones and is very user friendly. They also have a Bose Soundlink system, complete with outdoor speakers. I downloaded the app, connected my streaming service, and it was just like my Sonos at home. The house itself is in Windsor and about 7 minutes from town. It's up on a hill so you get amazing views. Organic dairy cows are your neighbors, and you have a wonderful view of the vineyard behind the house. It's near a small airport, so you will see some planes landing and taking off, but they do not have a flight path overhead. You'll hear the engines, but there aren't that many flights. It's a quick ride (maybe 15-18 minutes) to Healdsburg and about the same to Santa Rosa. If you're looking for a bit of seclusion without needing to navigate a mountain, THIS is the place to be. The homeowner is accessible and friendly. He keeps the place spotless and expects you to take good care of it. It's not a rental that gets turned over every few days. It's a home. And that's what makes it awesome!

We enjoyed our stay. The pool and setting is fantastic.

Property was lovely and house well appointed and perfect for 3 couples. Conviently located to Healdburg and we look forward to going back.

We very much enjoyed our stay!

Great location. The pool especially was a great hit and the center of attention. Wonderful walks through the vineyards.

As we drove through the gate and passed the beautiful vineyard surroundings, we knew we were in for a special experience. This home was the perfect setting for a gathering with our close friends and family.

It starts with a lovely circular drive and a beautiful olive tree at its center. At night when the olive tree is lit, it shimmers in this amazing silver color. Upon entering the foyer, our breath was taken away as we looked out onto the great room overlooking the pool and the vineyard beyond.

The bedrooms are all lovely, and the open floor plan for the great room consists of a beautifully and fully stocked kitchen, the dining area and the living area. It all makes a stunning impression while being warm and inviting at the same time. The marble-topped island in the kitchen became a focal point for socializing, drinking wine, cooking, and laughing.

And the surroundings of the property is a parade of beautiful birds and wild turkeys and rabbits and we even saw a baby fox! Every window is a picture representative of the beauty of the wine country at its best. It is absolutely beautiful.

Every comfort and detail has been carefully thought out by the very hospitable owners of the property. They truly understand caring for their guests and made us feel very much at home.

The hard part is driving away at departure. I took solace in thinking of visiting again. If you are looking for a magnificent spot for a family gathering or an intimate group for a special occasion, this is absolutely the place.

We had a lovely getaway at this secluded picturesque property. The house itself is beautifully designed and well appointed. Most of our stay was spent enjoying the kid-friendly pool and thoughtfully kept grounds. From inside, the panoramic views of the vineyard and the hills beyond is fabulous. It was a treat to watch a family of wild turkeys run through the backyard into the vineyard and see hot air balloons take off in the early morning. The owner was very helpful and responsive which made the logistics of the stay smooth. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family.

This is a gorgeous house on a hilltop with the whole house and pool overlooking vineyards. The house was modern, spacious, and well stocked with supplies. The pool has a great shallow area with umbrellas for lounging or kids. The poolside firepit is wonderful in the evenings. We will definitely go back!!

My family and I had an amazing time in this beautiful 3br house in Windsor, CA. The owners were very thorough in explaining the incredible process of building this exquisite property and provided us with endless recommendations for local restaurants, wineries and activities. The house itself is spectacular- we have amazing family photos out by the pool and the indoor-outdoor flow allowed for us all to enjoy the beautiful weather and views. Would 100% recommend for anyone looking to stay at a truly one-of-a-kind property straight out of Architectural Digest. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience Arturo!
