The house was beautiful with plenty of space inside and out. The kitchen was well appointed (although storage ware for leftovers and cutting boards would be a great add). Property very close to several wineries. Be prepared as little food and shopping options nearby and most places close early. Plenty of seating in the living area, at the dining table and outside for a large group. Checkin and checkout were simple.
