About this house rental

Nestled on 10 acres in the prestigious Chalk Hill appellation of the Alexander Valley, this rustic, beautifully furnished, 5br/4.5ba, 3200 sq. ft., two-story lovely home with central heat/AC, sits on a wooded knoll just above the vineyards. A separate pool house on the opposite side of the circle drive combined accommodating 12 guests. Completing this wonderful retreat is an in-ground pool with cover, freestanding spa, and abundant, new outdoor furniture rests on a flagstone patio beside the pool with beautiful landscaping and lawn all around. This is pet friendly home with a pet fee.

This beautiful Chalk Hill Compound is very well located with easy access to over 40 landmark Alexander Valley wineries including Lancaster, Verite, Chalk Hill, Hanna, White Oak, Field Stone, and Stryker, to name but a few. A spectacular and scenic 15-minute drive through the vineyard-graced valley, brings you to charming and historic Healdsburg, a world class Sonoma County Wine Country destination, with fine dining, shopping, and an abundant diversity of adventures and activities for your enjoyment.

Enter the property through the locked gate, up the paved circular drive, be welcomed by a center island with two mature oaks, and plenty of parking. On the other side of the drive, across from the main house, is the Pool House with full bath for your convenience, which also has beautiful landscaping around it and the pool behind. The main house has a large front entry deck with beautiful views and a wooded hill which slopes down to a seasonal creek. Front and west side decks include two outdoor tables for four with umbrellas, and a lovely 7’x8', 8-person Hot Springs freestanding hydrotherapy spa.

All the features and amenities this beautiful property offers combine beautifully to create an idyllic setting for celebrations, family gatherings, and friendly get-togethers, just above the Alexander Valley vineyard floor. Your ‘home away from home’ is beautifully appointed and professionally decorated with everything you will need for a memorable and magical vacation experience.

Now up the flagstone pathway to the lovely main house with beautiful landscaping, abundant mature plantings and trees all around, and be welcomed by the entry hall with the well equipped, bright and airy, chef’s kitchen to your left. With two skylights and a central island featuring a GE 5-burner gas range with a retractable downdraft vent, a pass-through from the kitchen to the dining area provides two stools for the ‘backseat chefs’ and is a great place for planning your culinary artistry.

Additional appliances include a new large side-by-side Kenmore freezer/fridge, GE dishwasher, and a self-cleaning Whirlpool oven and a new microwave on side. Additional kitchen necessities include a Cuisinart coffee maker, an extra large KitchenAid toaster, a new JA Henckels knife set, all new cookware, flatware, plateware, glassware, wine glasses, cutting boards, etc.

Ideally located for exploring the diversity of Sonoma County Wine Country, this property is a perfect ‘home base’ where you can relax and just soak it all in, or venture out in almost any direction for enjoying the many adventures nearby. There is an abundance of more than 100 award winning wineries within a short drive through the vineyards, in the Alexander, Dry Creek, Russian River, Sonoma, and Napa Valleys, as well as the towns of Healdsburg, Calistoga, St. Helena, Sonoma, and Napa; you will likely need at least a week to explore, experience, and enjoy it all, then return again and again for more relaxation, rejuvenation, and adventures. The Mayacama Golf Club is only 9 miles south.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely wonderful experience. We had 10 adults comprised of family and friends staying at the Chalk Hill Country Home. Lovely property, plenty of room, but does need some upgrading of the driveway, the kitchen counter and the outside deck. Could have been stocked with more dishwasher tabs, TP and paper towels for such a large group. But, having the pool table was a big plus, plenty of space for people to congregate in small groups and then come together for meals around the large dining room table. Having a separate "pool house" was great for our newlywed couple. Overall, despite the rain, it was a lovely trip - Birdsong couldn't have been better in managing our stay - Shante is terrific!

9 of us from Ca., Texas, Colorado, Oregon and Costa Rica traveled to share stories, photos, food and laughter with each other. Oldest cousins ages 82 and 2 at 75. And daughters and nieces of the cousins. We had a presentation of our ancestors, practiced balance poses, shared family photos and told lots of stories. We also hugged alot and taught how to build and love fireplaces.

We hade a wonderful week! The house was spacious and had everything we needed. The size was perfect for our group. We had 8 adults, 2 teenagers and one child. Between the pool, hot tub, the deck, and the indoor spaces, there was plenty to do and keep everyone happy. The pool house was beautiful and we really enjoyed the pool. The kitchen was well stocked and it was easy to cook for a crowd. Thanks for a great stay!

A wonderful home to have 4 couples stay. 2 bedrooms with kings have an attached bathroom. Another full bath and then 1/2 bath on the first floor. The first floor has another king room and the upstairs was 2 queen rooms. Worked perfectly! Recommend setting up ahead or having your own transportation if doing something tasting. Getting an Uber would be tricky

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The setting was beautiful! We spent lots of time on the deck enjoying the view, visiting and sharing meals. The kitchen was wonderfully equipped with everything we could possibly need! The house was very clean, roomy and comfortable. One suggestion might be to add an area rug in the pool table room and the dining room. We noticed that sometimes with the sound of people engaging in a pool game, with the windows and no rugs on the floors, it was hard to carry on a conversation or board game at the dining room table. The sound echoed. This is a minor point and just a simple suggestion to make a great place even better! We made some lovely memories and are looking forward to returning. Thank you!

We were a 5couples-group who take matured field trip to wine county every year together. We picked this place because it seemed to have everything you will need: - Beds and bathrooms so we do t need to share too often. - BBQ grill - Hot tub (jacuzzi) - Pool - Large outdoor space - Parking area for 5cars - Huge kitchen with enough appliances and tools - Dog friendly Shante, the property manager responded very quickly via phone and text. I don’t recommend to communicate with Vrbo messages tho. It may take time to hear back from her. If you and the group are absolutely wine ppl, I recommend to bring a good glasses for your good wines. Water is heated by gas so never ran out. It will be a nightmare if the hot water runs out with 10ppl group! Pool was very clean and good size to get day time heat off from our body. And the pool house has a bedroom, kitchen and bath. It’s absolutely a good addition to us because the main house fridge was too full, some folks with knee issue couldn’t use stairs to their bedroom, and less sharing ppl per bathroom. I think it will be best for 4 couples so each couple gets their own bath but 5 is also durable. If the group members are all families, it’s such a great place to stay with as many as this place allows. Enjoyed star lights and beautiful moon at night too!

Spacious but rundown. Property manager was responsive, brought more bedding, utensils, pool towels etc. upon request. House was clean but had broken shades, fans that didn’t work, pullout bed in pool house was unusable due to thin, totally uncomfortable mattress. Lovely surroundings but lack of good maintenance really obvious. Old pool needs new tile and resurfacing. Family reunion so we had fun anyway.
