Casa de Gamay is not just a house with a bedroom and a kitchen, our hope is that it is your home while you are away from home. We've strove to include all the amenities one would need while on the road and many you may not have thought about.
Start with a complete kitchen with a few items ready to cook for that last minute dinner. We have the spices and staples to help you create a marvelous meal. Take a look at the pictures to see examples of what may be available.
Invite your friends, we have place settings for 12 people. Enjoy a bottle of specialized wine as a sample of our local wineries.
Sit down next to our gas fireplace (started with a push of a button on the remote control) and watch cable TV (Comcast with a voice controlled remote), DVD player, Netflix.
Do you need to work? Use the pop-up coffee table as your workstation, work next to the fireplace, plug your Iphone into the big screen TV And have a zoom meeting. We have the fastest wireless available on AT&T.
Did you come with an electric vehicle? Now you can charge your car in our garage with our charging station.
Going to the river? Use our blowup rafts and safety vests. Are the kids bored? We have toys for both boys and girls aged from 1 to 12. A stroller for the toddler, pop-up crib, booster seat, and if we didn't think of it, give us a call, I'm sure we have something you can use.
For those who collect State and National Park quarters, you will find a large pile of quarters to sort through. I used to collect State quarters and was always frustrated because I could only find Denver Mint quarters. People on the East Coast would have the same problem, but could only fine Philadelphia quarters. Now you can go through a pile and take what you want and leave some for others to find! The quarters can be found in the coffee table. If you find the quarters, you learn the secret of the coffee table! It's really cool!
Kids bored? Have a Nerf war with 8 guns and hundreds of bullets. Or try to find the 20+ hidden treasures located around the house. Things like: > An old man making bubbles in the bathtub. > A fidget spinner. > A heart shaped rock. > Reading glasses with headlamps. > A dog wearing glasses. > A cat in a box. > Blue eggs. > Two doves kissing.
Bring the dog! We have a dog bed with doggy treats.
Casa de Gamay is located on the west side of Santa Rosa just a couple of miles from dozens of local specialized wineries. Take a walk in the Redwood trees of Armstrong Grove, just 30 minutes away. Visit our beautiful coast line.
If we haven't thought of your specific need, give us a call, we live only a 5 minute walk away from the house. It's important to us you have a great time here.
We make things easy with our keyless entry. We hope to see you soon.

Everything about our stay was perfect! great hosts / great communication both before and during our stay. VERY well stocked kitchen an pantry! we liked the scavenger hunt they added to the "about the house" materials!we're keeping the wifi password saved because we hope to stay their again!would give more than 5 stars if possible
The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It was very comfortable and we will definitely be back. The host was available to answer any questions and responded quickly, great communication. The beds were comfortable and lots of entertainment options were provided. It was a great experience from start to finish.
The house was exactly as advertised—and then some. We were greeted with a plate of fresh-baked cookies and an incredibly clean home. There was plenty of space for the four of us to spread out comfortably.The house was stocked with games and a DVD collection that could rival Blockbuster. We even enjoyed a little picnic one afternoon in the cozy backyard.It made a perfect home base for exploring the area, with both Bodega Head/Bay and Armstrong Redwoods Reserve only about 30 minutes away.10/10 — would absolutely recommend!
Fantastic stay, property was accurately listed. Charming home that felt like home. Hosts were incredibly communicative and welcoming. Check in was a breeze and if my travels take me to the area again I would highly consider staying here again.
Hosts went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. Great location very many different things to do for adults as well as a family. We would definately stay here again and highly recommend this rental!
Clean, roomy and well stocked
Perfect place to stay

Great way to spend 4 nights in Santa Rosa
Larry and Wanda couldn’t have better hosts
Wonderful Place
The house was perfectly located between San Francisco and Sonoma/Napa Valleys. A 30-40 minute drive to some wineries and the Armstrong Redwoods Reserve. The house was clean; the kitchen had every utensil and pan you could think of; and the bathrooms included shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, etc, which is great when traveling by plane.The Host was very thoughtful and ready to assist when we had questions.I highly recommend this property.
The hosts and the house were great! There were fresh cookies on the counter when we arrived and SOOOoooo many other nice amenities

Thank you for your comments. We're glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope you come back and stay with us again sometime.
Wanda and Larry were amazing hosts. They had cookies waiting for us and even asked if there was anything special we needed. It was by far one of the best experiences I have had
Great property with many amenities.
My (3) siblings, 1 spouse and myself stayed and the property accommodated us very well.
Hosts were excellent communicators and responsive to any inquiries.
I would highly recommend.
Rental was comfortable and very well equipped for children and adults! We enjoyed a relaxing month at Casa de Gamay. Never have had a rental with so many amenities. Thanks to Larry and Wanda

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again.
It’s a 10+/10!! Larry and Wanda’s Casa de Gamay is so homey, comfortable, clean—and the best stocked VRBO we’ve ever experienced! Communication and recommendations from the owners were top notch. The gas fireplace was a perfect setting for the evenings. Don’t hesitate in booking and hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!!!
Best VRBO rental we have ever stayed in! Great owners that make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Wonderfully stocked house work great pots and pans, sharp knives and a well stocked pantry. Comfortable beds and linens. Great location to the highway, grocery stores and wineries. Will definitely return. Thank you Wanda and Larry!

We have had several guests so far, but I must say, no one has left our place in better shape than you and your gang. We are very impressed. We are very much looking forward to your return should you choose Casa de Gamay.
Highest marks and highest compliments.

The house was absolutely beautiful! All the extra touches were there including the homemade peanut butter cookies. It was close to everything for us. Wanda and Larry were very gracious hosts. We would definitely stay here again. You will NOT be disappointed. Book it now!

Superb.
Clean, comfortable, fully stocked. Convenient location. Hosts very helpful when questions came up. We were here over Christmas and it had holiday decorations. The lasagna provided fed a last minute family Gathering. I’d happily stay again.

I'm glad you had a good time. I'm also glad you enjoyed the lasagna, not too many people partook of that, so we decided to stop making it. But we still offer frozen pizza, or corn dogs, depending on what sales we can find.
About the host
Hosted by Wanda and Larry Lapeere
Wanda and I retired this year. Wanda is a nurse and I worked at Keysight Technologies. We travel a lot, and when we do, we always book a vacation rental either through VRBO or AirBNB. We always appreciate it when hosts go the extra mile for us, so we know how it nice it is when it's done correctly. It has always been our dream to host our own vacation rental. We want to do as much for our guests as we can without getting in their ways. With that said, we have only one rental, so you are our focus. It is our goal to make your stay as convenient and comfortable as possible. If we overlooked anything, we want to hear about it. Again, we don't want to get in your way of having a relaxing vacation, but we want to make sure everything in the house works to your satisfaction.
Why they chose this property
We wanted a property near our house. We looked for a couple of months, but when we stepped in Casa de Gamay, we knew this was the place for us. It is literally a five minute walk away from us (convenient for guests who need help or services). The look and feel of the house is the best. It has an open plan with a great kitchen. The big screen, fireplace provides a very warm and romantic feel for your stay. Eat the food. The pantry is full, the refrigerator is full, the freezer if full. The food is there for you and and your family. All you need to buy is perishables like meat and vegetables. We provide everything else. Eat the food.
What makes this property unique
Large open area in the house is great for large gatherings. A nice area in the patio with the BBQ to take advantage of those nice warm summer evenings. Have everyone gather around to watch a movie from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime. If nothing can be found there, then open the closet to look through the hundreds of DVDs available. Quiet neighborhood, close to groceries, banks, and restaurants (walking distance in most cases). We've tried to provide you with all the amenities you could find in your own house. Tweezers in the drawer, extra batteries, 1 ounce energy drinks (for the long drive), laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, tools in the garage, toys for the kids, and a Treasure Hunt for the older kids to keep them occupied. If they still get bored, tell them to have a Nerf war, there is a basket of Nerf guns and bullets in the garage. If you have it in your house, we have it in our house. If we don't, we want to hear about it so it will be there the next time you arrive. We don't give you "Just enough" for your stay. If you have a need and you can't find it in the house, give us a call and we will tell you where it is. If it's not there, we will bring it over. We truly want this to be your "Home away from home."
