We were two couples and three singles, staying in this wonderful spot over four nights, connecting to our son's wedding celebration in Sonoma Valley. The accommodations were quite comfortable in every way. Although for the most part we used the kitchen and outdoor cooking facilities sparsely (mostly for breakfasts, and for snacks), our host did permit us to host an evening dinner in the well-appointed back-deck area, with ample seating and cooking facilities, set amid the redwood trees. The weather was perfect, so when added to the quality of the home the dinner and overall evening were also perfect. I am grateful to the owner for permission to host this family event.
The home is set not only amid redwood trees, but also in the middle of the Moaveni Vineyard operation. We sampled several of the wines bottled by the owner, and found them to be excellent. As the Syrah grapes were nearing their harvest-time, the setting became even more picturesque and compelling.
Though the home does not have air conditioning, and though most of our days spent there were temperate overall... yet, the first day was quite warm; even so, the home remained pleasant throughout the day and evening, because of its setting in the surrounding redwoods. The balance of shade and sun is wonderful.
We no longer have young children, and don't yet have grandchildren, but it's clear the property could accommodate young children quite readily.
