About this property
The Heart of the Valley: Smart Modern Farmhouse
The Heart of the Valley takes it's name after what the city of Turlock represents to the Central Valley, it's heart. I wanted to use this as inspiration to create a home the embodied this. I worked closely with local interior designer, Marísela Rodríguez, to come up with a home design where guest can enjoy the convenience of modern technology while still having that warm, welcoming feeling a farmhouse has to offer.
The space: The Heart of the Valley is a single story home updated and modernized for the convenience and comfort of today. This includes things you can't even see, like a tankless water heater system and others you can't miss, like the state of the art smart appliances. You can enjoy a movie night (popcorn complimentary) on the large sectional with all of your friends and family or a head to the beautiful backyard for a sizzling BBQ on the Webber grill (charcoal included). This house has so many updates and awesome features to list. You are just going to have to see them for yourself. Looking forward to hosting you! :)
Guest access: Guest have access to the entire home except for the kitchen pantry and laundry closet used for storage. My goal is for you to feel like this is your home away from home.
Located in Turlock, this vacation home is in the city center and on a lake. Modesto Arch and McHenry Museum and Mansion are local landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at McConnell State Recreation Area and George J. Hatfield State Recreation Area.

The house was perfect! Cute, clean, and well maintained. More importantly, good location…very close to the wedding venue! Perfect!!
House was extremely clean and very comfortable. Great location near a beautiful park with lots of geese. I would definitely book again next time I’m in the area.
This house is gorgeous. It’s clean and perfect for a family stay. We were traveling to the area for a wedding. It was perfect and the host was so helpful and responsive.
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely home which was close to everything. The beds were so comfy, the house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. It was also so clean. It was perfect and we hope to stay there in the future!
It was so nice to have this home away from home while celebrating Gigi’s 100th birthday with 4 generations. The host was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. We all slept well and felt very comfortable.
Wow, this place did not disappoint. It was very clean and had to have been recently remodeled everything was so well kept and extremely comfortable. The hoist was very prompt and accommodating. Great area close to everything we needed. We were there for work and it was so much nice than any hotel we could have stayed at. You won’t be disappointed
Overall we had a good stay , the house is very nicely redone and updated. Fun park next door with lots of ducks my mom enjoyed watching. Any questions or concerns I had was handled or answered quickly by the owner. Thanks for letting us stay.
This house was just lovely. We were so pleased to see a beautifully decorated tree and other decorations for Christmas. Part of our family lives in Merced and our granddaughter and son spent one night with us. It was ideal for us and our small fur-baby. Plenty of amenities for a home away from home feel. Jerry was quick to respond and very pleasant with regard to a question about the TV. Would love to stay here again when in the area. Thank you for your hospitality.
This property was in a nice location within walking distance to the park, a duck pond, and an enclosed playground. All rooms were clean and nicely decorated. The property was pet-friendly with a small backyard. The check-in process, access to property and check-out process was simple. Communication with the property manager was exceptional.
We had a very comfortable visit to Turlock at this property. The house is beautifully appointed and much larger than we had expected. The garden is particularly lovely. Most importantly, Jerry was so responsive to the particular circumstances of our visit and it was so very much appreciated!
We were in town for our son’s wedding at a nearby venue. This house was exactly as shown in the pictures and we had a wonderful time. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed for cooking & baking and feeding a large family. The manager was very easy to communicate with as we had several questions before arriving. The house was very cool as the weather was in the upper 90’s we really appreciated the AC and all of the ceiling fans. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again.
I really appreciated the way Jerry worked with me on a couple of interests of our group.
We had a glitch with one of the appliances. In the long run it didn't impact our stay; just an inconvenience.
This property was absolutely wonderful. The home was spotless, kitchen was upgraded to the tee with all the amenities to go along, bathrooms stocked w/toiletries, body and hand towels in each room for each bed, modern bedroom sets for each room. Mattresses so comfy, living room couch just as comfy w/throw blankets. The home was open and spacious for my family and I traveling from SoCal. The home was so welcoming made us feel like it was our home away from home. During our stay the area was going through an excessive heat weave and the host had the home already cooled upon our arrival. 🙏
Jerry our host was prompt, accessible and definitely patient when we reached out to him with the smallest questions or concerns we had even after 9:00pm. The home is right next to freeways, stores, gas stations and eateries. We adored this home so much we wanted to stay longer. lol If you’re lookin for a great home stay and host who communicates. Jerry and his property is the way to go. We will definitely rsvp this property again when we visit our family in the Modesto area. Thank you again Jerry for everything and your beautiful home.
