About this property

Wine Country Retreat. Large backyard with pool/spa, outdoor kitchen & fireplace


Welcome to the Wine Country!

Step inside this open, airy 4 bedroom 3 bath home and prepare to relax!!! Upgraded and open kitchen, connects to all living spaces with full view of the pool and Foothills, surrounded by trees giving you total privacy. We've stocked the kitchen with Calphalan pans and dishes for the chef. For the bartender in the house get ready to uncork that bottle of wine or mix a cocktail at the beautiful hand carved rosewood bar. Head outside to grab a lemon, tangerine or lime from our cocktail grove, when in season to mix the perfect drink.

Ready for a game night? We've got you covered at the kitchen table that easily seats 8. You'll find puzzles, games and a complete poker set.

Downstairs, there's a completely remodeled bathroom with full shower and guest room with queen bed. Upstairs, the master bedroom features a king size pillow top bed and upgraded master bath, another updated bathroom and two more guest rooms with queen sized beds. If you need to get some work done while on vacation, the master and a guest bedroom both upstairs, have designated work spaces.

Step outside and you'll know you're in wine country with a spacious, private, park like yard surrounded by trees complete with pool and spa. A covered outdoor kitchen with BBQ, refrigerator and bar seating. A separate dining patio with a trellised bamboo feature wall for that bistro dining feel and a brand new patio dining table that seats 8+. Relax by the the free standing, natural gas fireplace with glass inset and enjoy your favorite glass of wine. Play a game of Corn Hole on the large grassy area or just have a seat in the Adirondack Chair to read that book you've been meaning to read.

Our location doesn't get much better. An abundance of wineries including Rodney Strong Vineyards, J Vineyards & Aperture Cellars are just seven minutes from our front door as is Russian River Brewing company and many other craft breweries. Visit downtown Windsor just 5 minutes away with restaurants, shops, Thursday night concerts & Movie nights in summer, wine tasting and Farmer's Market. While you're there stop in Olivers Market for all your picnicking supplies, including a wide selection of gourmet cheeses, charcuterie and delicious sandwiches & prepared items. Healdsburg - home to many fine restaurants and wine tasting rooms is a mere 10 minutes away.

For outdoor enthusiasts we've got something for everyone. Walk right out our back gate to over 211 acres of hiking or fishing in Foothill Regional Park or connect up to hundreds of miles of biking paths through vineyards and hillsides. There are two tennis courts directly behind us. The Russian River, Armstrong Woods, Bodega Bay and dozens of Regional Parks for hiking, fishing and kayaking are all close by.

We want to make this your perfect wine country trip! We've lived in the area for many years and we'd love to help you out with any dining, winery or outdoor activities. Just reach out and we'll help you map out the perfect plan of attack.

Excellent communication, helpful hosts

This property is nestled in a quiet neighborhood just a few minutes from many stores, restaurants, etc. Furniture is nice, home is very clean, and the back lawn is excellent. The check-in process is challenging, especially in the dark, an outside light would have been helpful. The hosts are great, very helpful and easy to transact with.

Friend and Family Reunion

Had a mini reunion with family and close friends (7 adults) stayed in Windsor area to tour local vineyards and sights. Property owners (Barry & Sue) were great! Incredibly easy to reach before and after booking, attentive to questions/concerns & gave great recommendations. We had a couple celebrating an anniversary with us and Sue recommended the perfect local place for a couples night out that they loved. Property was clean, as advertised and area was a quiet, safe residential neighborhood with nearby shopping/dinning. The outdoor space was privat and comfortable. Definitely would recommend and stay here again. Thank Sue and Barry!

The House at Windsor

We enjoyed our stay at this Windsor house. The house is lovely, beautifully decorated, extremely clean, well stocked with many essentials along with lots of unexpected extras and has a lovely outdoor area. It was well suited for our five day family gathering. We enjoyed the pool, the outdoor games and the spacious grilling area. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, probably anything we would need to prepare for a small or large group. Barry and Sue provided us with a lot of information on the area, wineries, restaurants, shops and entertainment and were very helpful during our stay. Our stay was a gathering of family from across the US and overseas so it provided a delightful gathering place. Please read the advertisement carefully and be aware. The house does not allow for any children under 18 years old, even for a short visit. This required us to rent an AirB&B in the area for one night to meet up with family members with children. The advertisement plainly stated no children and this was my fault, I do not hold the owners responsible for my mistake. I would recommend this to anyone looking for adult only accommodations.

Delightful Pool House in Wine Country

We spent 3 nights in this lovely house. The property is very well-appointed, featuring 4 comfortable rooms, 3 bathrooms, and plenty of common areas both inside and out—ideal for our group of 3 couples. It was beautifully maintained, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The location in wine country was perfect, close to tasting rooms and the charming town of Healdsburg. The backyard even connects to a regional park, offering great trails and scenery for those interested in a bit of fitness activities. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive. Highly recommend

Visit Wine Country - Check!

Visiting Wine Country was near the top of our retirement bucket list and staying at Barry and Sue's property was one of the best parts! They couldn't have been better hosts - wish we could have met them! The attention to every little detail in this home was so appreciated! We were SO lucky with the weather for mid October. We were able to enjoy the heated pool, the spa, and the outdoor fireplace! It was so relaxing after a day of wine tasting! (Shout out to Jason Gariss with Sonoma Wine Rides for 2 GREAT days of Wine tastings!) Having Barry and Sue's list of recommended restaurants made dinner plans easy! We especially loved visiting Oliver's Market! Thanks for helping fulfill this bucket list request! We hope to visit again!

Perfect for Healdsburg getaway

Perfectly located for our long weekend visit to Healdsburg. Easy 10-minute drive to town to enjoy wonderful coffee hangouts, restaurants and shopping, and plenty of great wineries within a 20-minute drive. Oliver's Market is an even shorter drive - no words for how wonderful it is! The home is very well equipped inside and out. We enjoyed cooking dinner one of the evenings and eating al fresco. The private backyard is delightful with its pool/spa, bbq, conversation seating around the gas fireplace, and pretty strung lights. The trail system accessible from the house was an added bonus for daily dog walks. Hosts Barry and Sue provided lots of excellent advice on the area and the check-in/check-out process was communicated well and went smoothly. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

Perfect stay in wine country, A+ house and hosts

This property was a perfect getaway for six friends visiting Sonoma County for a long weekend. Its prime location between Santa Rosa and Healdsburg provided ample opportunity for exploring the area's many offerings. The backyard is a great spot to hang out during the day (pool, cornhole, and other yard games) or evening (outdoor kitchen, hot tub, and fireplace). The kitchen is well stocked with supplies and has modern appliances, the bedrooms are spacious with comfy beds, the clean bathrooms have several amenities, and the hosts were amiable and communicative. I highly recommend this house and host.

This house is completely set up for a family vacation. It’s not for those with small kids— but young adults as well as older ones will appreciate its calm and all the attributes. If you want to cook/ grill, all the accoutrements are there. The house itself is very comfortable and clean. The location makes it easy to enjoy many towns, restaurants and wineries.

About the host

Hosted by Barry Adams

Host profile image
Our family has lived in the area for over 30 years. We want everyone who stays with us to feel immediately at home, relaxed and ready to explore Sonoma County. We've stocked the house with the things you will need to get you started and that we expect when we vacation, including toilet paper, paper towels, spices, cleaning products, laundry detergent and a healthy dose of Wine Away to take care of the inevitable wine spill on your favorite shirt. Feel free to ask us for recommendations. We've spent years seeking out different restaurants, wineries and experiences and we'd love to share that knowledge with you!

Why they chose this property

This is one of those properties that makes you feel at home. From the wide open floor plan to the cozy fireplace, rosewood bar and remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances. The outside area is surrounded by trees, spacious, private and designed to enjoy with a sparkling pool, outdoor kitchen, fireplace and grassy area for a game of Corn Hole and a separate dining area flanked by trellised bamboo to give you that "I'm on vacation" feel.

What makes this property unique

Our home is surrounded by trees giving total privacy. You can walk right out our gate and into the Foothill Regional Park for a morning hike or a sunset picnic or game of tennis. After a long day of wine tasting hit the pool and spa to relax, while you cook outdoors. At night sit by the fireplace to enjoy your favorite wine find of the day. And don't forget to look up...Sonoma County is known for its incredible display of stars at night. If you gaze long enough, you'll most likely see a shooting star.
