We were in Sonoma area just for a few days and the Forestville location was perfect for us, we were able to go into Healdsburg, and so many wineries to choose from nearby. It was better than expected . Kurt was a very kind host and I cannot say enough about this beautiful home

This little slice of heaven was the background for my bachlorette which was a group of majority introverts looking for a peaceful place to read, get to know each other better, and drink tea. We also found great hiking trails and restaurants within 30 minutes of driving. The house is spacious, cozy, and comfortable.
