A Peaceful Retreat with a Nice Backyard
I recently stayed at this property with my family of 4 and had a wonderful experience. The home is clean, cozy, and well-maintained, making it a perfect retreat. The highlight for me was the backyard—it's not only beautifully designed but also equipped with everything you need, including a BBQ and comfortable furniture. The yard is cool and serene, offering a peaceful escape. The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, making it easy to prepare meals. Overall, this place offers a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!

Nice place but plumbing and lock issues
Management was not very responsive when the toilets backed up and sewage water came into the bathtub while my daughter was taking a shower. Luckily my husband was able to get it resolved and multiple use of the plunger. Then the main bathroom door got shut with the lock button in place. We could get it open today. We tried to get a locksmith to come but we had to checkout before they could arrive. I suggest that management should clean the sewer lines and proved a tool in the garage to pick the door locks. This is an old house even though it has been nicely remodeled. A local manager should be available.

Unfortunate property management of a great home
The home itself was a lovely hybrid of charming older construction and modern kitchen and amenities and a great garden. The check in process was easy, but I didn’t love getting 10 inbound texts from the property management company for a two day stay. That would have been fine, but they sent reminders I didn’t need and requests of how the stay was. When I responded that the kitchen and bathrooms were dirty, they made me send photos then never bothered to reply again. The internet also cut out many times during my stay, making it impossible to complete an important work session. I chose this home thinking it would be a professionally-run unit for my work trip. It’s unfortunate that such a great home with a fantastic garden didn’t have a bit more attention from the property managers.

Terrible experience
I’m very disappointed with Vacasa. Issues happen and it’s understandable if the cleaning crew misses something but we arrived to find blood stained comforter and someone’s hair on the sheets. When I contacted Vacasa they suggested I do laundry because nobody could bring us clean comforter and sheets until next day around lunchtime. Next day we got locked out of the house even though we followed all the instructions on locking the door. Since the Vacasa rep couldn’t troubleshoot the issue, we had to use the back door the rest of the trip. The house itself is pretty nice. Too bad is managed so poorly. I’m still waiting for the property manager to contact us about a refund.

Wonderful Extended Stay at the James House
My family and I rented the James House for a 15 night stay and had a wonderful time. Our teenager was participating in a two-week camp at the local 6th Street Playhouse and the James House was the perfect home and location. The home is very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is incredibly quiet and it is centrally located to everything we needed while in town. We would definitely recommend the James House to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Great house in wine country
This house was ideal for our party of four (3 adults and 1 kid age 8). Located in a safe neighborhood. Convenient to wineries, restaurants and parks. Nice amenities including coffee maker, toaster, toiletries and hair dryer (one for each bathroom). TV was not connecting to wifi so we couldn't watch netflix and icemaker appeared to be broken but otherwIse, we had a great stay.

First trip since the pandemic
Property is located with quite a bit around it if you want to go out to eat, run to the grocery store for food to cook or order takeout and eat from home. Great backyard setting. Beds were comfortable. Property was super clean. Neighborhood is older and very nice to walk/run through as the sun comes up. We would definitely recommend this property and will consider renting it again on a return trip. We didn’t have any issues during our stay so we didn’t have to contact the management company. NaPa was about 45-55 minutes away and wineries in Sonoma were just a couple of miles. Very nice trip.

We stayed here for a weekend with some friends. This is the perfect place to stay for a relaxing weekend. The neighborhood is cute and quiet. It's close to wine country. There's an amazing restaurant called Willi's Wine Bar and a market within walking distance that's a must! We highly recommend this place to stay and will be staying in the future.

Clean, comfortable, lovely back yard
This was a perfect place for us to relocate to after clearing out my dad's house for a sale, and needed somewhere in the neighborhood to finish up our last few days of clearing out the house. Kitchen stocked adequately but could use a few more items to make it nice for cooking and serving special meals.

Three Generations to the Cup
There were three generations of us staying at the house this weekend going to an event and staying at the house was wonderful. We had a couple in their twenties, one in their forties, and one in their sixties, and having the house with a kitchen and living room and dining area made it so nice. Had the weather been a little better the back yard was beautiful and had some very nice patio furniture to use to relax and enjoy that pretty fenced back garden. All the amenities were nice and location made in easy to find food, gas or most anything you might needs-if not…the small IPad near the kitchen sink has lots of information can answer many questions.
