Every detail in the house is thoughtfully chosen, creating an atmosphere that’s both welcoming and relaxing.

“The home has a very peaceful, secluded feel, nestled against the ridge with beautiful vistas out to the valley below. The pool area is perfect for lounging and sitting by the fire, and enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub that looks out to the forest. The house is even more beautiful in person and feels like new. “ – Trevor

About the host

Hosted by Kurt G.

Host profile image
I was born & raised on a family ranch & vineyard in wine country, Forestville,CA. Russian River area. I was an architect for 25yrs, then cut hair part-time in SF for 10yrs and have also lived in Oregon, LA & Scottsdale, AZ. I now own & manage our 147yr family ranch & vineyard along with Via Giusti Wines, a winery that I started in 2010. I started vacation renting our family ranch home, earlier this year and I am really enjoying being a vacation rental host. I love food, wine, friends, travel and enjoying life to the fullest! Our vacation home sleeps 8 comfortably on a 20 acre working ranch & vineyard with spectacular views and centrally located in the heart of wine country. It is perfect for large adult groups who want to enjoy a quintessential wine country experience on an historical ranch & vineyard w/all of the modern amenities.
Salute!
