We had a great time staying at the botany house in Santa Rosa. It was in a great location near family and all the great wineries and epicenter with plenty of room for our family to gather and hang out. The hot tub was great to relax in (when the kids weren’t joining us). It was well stocked and exactly as the listing advertised.

We loved the location perched on top of the hill overlooking wine country. It felt like Tuscany. Hospitality was exceptional. Loved the fully stocked kitchen that opened to the spacious great room with beautiful views and cozy fireplace. Thank you! We hope to be back soon.

Kharis’s place was incredible. Our group of 6 rented this space to celebrate a birthday and we all loved it. Private, beautiful, lots of amenities, absolutely fantastic host. At one point, the gas stove stopped working and Kharis and her husband were on site within an hour to replace the propane tank. My sister also accidentally left a beloved scarf behind and Kharis let the cleaners know to keep an eye out and were willing to get it back to us. 10/10 place if you have a group, the property is huge and very well developed. A few things to note for those that might want to know: *Reception in the area is not great/non existent, depending on carrier. The WiFi is great though, so just something to be aware of. Also, the WiFi does not reach the pool area. *The neighbor’s rooster is a very talkative boy. He starts at about 6am and goes all day. I suggest ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper. *The pool is not heated, so plan your visit month accordingly. As expected, it was frigid in Jan.
