Ask a questionAbout Leslie and Michael Olch
We are the Olch family (Leslie, Michael and Milly, age 15). We love cooking, traveling and wine (of course). We also love this house. When we decided to move into town for school reasons, we just could not let this property go (too emotionally attached!). So we decided to share it with guests (and still be able to visit). We are only 8 minutes away so we are readily available for any questions or needs. We hope you love the house as much as we do...
Leslie and Michael Olch purchased this House in 2003
Why Leslie and Michael Olch chose Healdsburg
Why should you consider this property? It is a great combination of getting away from it all (you are surrounded by trees), yet you are so close to town - an easy drive or Uber/Lyft. And over 20 world-class Alexander Valley wineries are even closer. Another reason is the backyard with what we believe is the largest outdoor kitchen in Sonoma (we were going to build a pool house but instead invested everything into one crazy kitchen). But it is less about the size. It is about being able to cook outside and never have to go into the house. So you can really focus on the cooking and conversation. Also, you are right next to the pool, so you can watch everything going on and never leave the grill. And after, you can settle around the large firepit (which turns on automatically with a turn of a timer) to continue catching up. Guests have told us they have cancelled their tour plans because they did not want to leave the backyard. And even though the house has this amazing backyard, guests also love the inside. The gourmet kitchen, wood-burning fireplace, high-end Toto toilets with seat heating and bidet, 80" TV and more are often mentioned by guests. We also pay attention to the little things: phone chargers in each bedroom, 5 different types of oils, a Keurig latte/coffee maker with endless pods and creamers, a watch any movie on AppleTV policy, Alexas with full music subscriptions, etc. Making sure you have the best time possible is not a job for us, it really is a passion. We recently heard from a guest who stayed with us a few years ago (who is coming back out). She said she thinks of our property and her experience here all the time. We were so tickled. That is what puts us on top of the world. That is why we do this.
What makes this House unique
A resort experience only 8 minutes to town, and close to wineries. Owners who love doing this and extremely dedicated to making sure this is an experience and not just a vacation. The outdoor kitchen (and the pool, hot tub, firepit, kids playground, water features, views, etc, etc) A very comfortable and inviting indoors (per our guest reviews).
