| We had 4 couples from our neighborhood stay here and we all enjoyed our stay immensely. The views are gorgeous - wonderful landscaping. The pool area and hot tub were very clean. We all enjoyed the spacious kitchen area for home cooked breakfast every morning and the grill for a fabulous steak dinner Saturday evening. We are currently recommending this to our friends and would love to stay at this property again upon our return. |

| I'm thrilled we found this house! We had our closest friends with us to celebrate my husband's 40th b-day weekend. The house was spacious, cozy and had everything we needed. I loved the kitchen; plenty of cooking tools. I even baked a cake! The pool and hot tub were fabulous. Such a great getaway...can't wait to go back. Thank you! |

We had 15 people aging from 3 to 75 years old. This house accomodated everyone beautifully. We enjoyed the pool, ping pong table and putting green. The owners are such welcoming hosts, we really appreciated the little things like pool towels, soap in the bathrooms etc. Though it seemed like a bit of a distance on the maps, some members of our party enjoyed walking into town for morning breakfast, or shopping. Although hilly, the area is great for walking and jogging. (and without the hills - there wouldn't be the beautiful views.)
I would highly recommended this house for anyone's vacation needs.

This house was outstanding. We had 15 people in town to support a triathlon and it could not have worked better. Lounging by the pool or having a putting tournament on the green, everyone had an exceptional time.
Look forward to going back next year. |

| Wow! This home has everything! Our 11 family members were in wine country for a wedding and were so thankful we chose this home. Plenty of space for all - beautiful views and every convenience provided. A new Jenn-air stove top has been installed in the kitchen - not that we used it with the infra red gas BBQ grill calling to us right outside the kitchen doors. While we had planned to see some wineries in between wedding activities, we just couldn't seem to tear ourselves away from this home's crown jewel - the pool, spa and gardens. Everyone enjoyed every minute of our stay here and were sorry to see it end! Next time we visit wine country - we know where we'll be staying! |

| We recently stayed at the Alta Vista House for a weekend as a group of 10 while we did the Wine Country Century ride. We loved the house with all it's windows, it's beautiful views, and spacious interior. The grounds, pool and spa were wonderful as well. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, and it's proximity to Santa Rosa was very convenient. We hope to return next year. |

| My family and I took a nice vacation away from the world after the birth of our third...the Alta Vista retreat was absolutely what the doctor ordered! Way too much space to even describe, but suffice it to say it was perfect for a family of five, our dog, and another couple with their child (just popped in for a night). We rent 4-5 houses each year through VRBO, and remains among our favorites. As much as we ventured up to Santa Rosa for the Sonoma wine country, we ended up sitting poolside for nearly every minute of our stay. Hope to make it up some time in the future. |

| We stayed at Alta Vista during Thanksgiving 2008 with three families and had a great time. The kitchen is perfect for large family meals and for those that like to cook and generally hang out in the kitchen. The pool house is perfect for the kids to get away from the adults, or vice-versa. The pool and spa were nice to have even on cold nights. We loved the view in the evenings and at sunset. We had a golf putting tournament on the putting green (thanks for providing many putters and balls). For anyone who like to mountain bike, Alta Vista is a mile away from a mountain bikers dream, Annadel State park. They also have a great park for the kids to play. We had kids ranging in age from 4-17 and all of them had a great time there. We'll be back next year. |

| WOW! What a fantastic place to get away! The home is simply gorgeous, and the property so entertaining (specially for the kids). We stayed there with 5 other members of my family (9 total), and had my in-laws join us for a night, that stayed in the guest house. Alta vista accomodated us perfectly! The 3 young children (ages 3-8) never left the clean and well-maintained pool and hot tub. The estate had no problems whatsoever sleeping, bathing, cooking for, or feeding 11 guests. Let alone having 3 different areas to choose from where all of us could sit down together...it was just priceless! We were able to visit many wineries, and still spend the majority of our day enjoying Alta Vista, because of its great location. My entire family and I look so forward to staying there again, and certainly recommend Alta Vista to anyone who will respect her beauty. |

| This was a beautiful and comfortable vacation home. The pool and grounds were great, the view was wonderful and we were still close enough to shopping and wine country. My family and I raved about our "find" on VRBO and will be back again. The manager was helpful and easy to work with. Thanks for the memories! |

| We had a wonderful time at Alta Vista with our party of friends to celebrate my husband's birthday between August 22-24. The location of the house was very convenient to Sonoma (wine tasting) and San Francisco. The views were amazing and while you felt isolated on the hilltop it was easy to get groceries and dinner in Santa Rosa. The pool with diving board, hot tub and ping pong table were a lot of fun. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space inside and outside for our group to enjoy. The stove top was a little dated but worked fine and the BBQs were convenient. I would definitely recommend Alta Vista to anyone who is looking for a convenient and spacious vacation rental. The managers were easy to work with and friendly, too. |
