About this property

Wine Country Oasis. Pool, hot tub, vineyard views, walk to Downtown St. Helena

Welcome to our Wine Country Oasis, our very own slice of Paradise in St. Helena, the heart of the Napa Valley. We offer everything you need for the perfect Wine Country getaway!

We have recently completed a total kitchen remodel and now have a stunning, updated space for your gourmet meal preparations. The kitchen is truly gorgeous with brand new appliances, countertops, flooring, cabinets...the works! We have also just finished a complete remodel of our guest bathroom. Both spaces are state of the art and stunning.

Down a quiet country lane, surrounded by vineyards, yet only a short walk to Main Street St. Helena, the Heart of the Napa Valley, is our lovely home. Very few St. Helena vacation rental homes have all three of these desired elements: VINEYARD VIEWS, LARGE POOL/HOT TUB, AND A VERY SHORT WALK TO TOWN. Enjoy dinner at one of many St. Helena's fabulous restaurants and then stroll home along the vineyards. And a huge plus...our location is so quiet you will hear nothing but the neighborhood birds!

A beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a large yard, lush flower filled garden, swimming pool, and hot tub. And stunning vineyard views! All you need for the perfect Wine Country get away. We have nearly 3/4 acres of property fully fenced for your privacy. The home sleeps 5 people. Two bedrooms feature queen size beds and one bedroom has a full size bed. Master bedroom has an en suite bathroom and a flat screen TV. We have a comfortable living room with a 40 inch flat screen satellite TV, and a stereo system with speakers both inside and outside by the pool. The fully equipped kitchen has a dining table that seats 6 and can be extended.

Our lovely lush lawn, patio and large 16 x 34 pool area provide a resort-like atmosphere and makes outdoor living and entertaining a pleasure with a gas barbecue grill, dining table, chaise lounges, and plenty of outdoor seating. Enjoy dining al fresco or relaxing with a glass of wine poolside. The large pool is perfect for both lap swimming and family fun with plenty of pool floats. (Pool is not available October - April). The Sundance Hot Tub, which accommodates up to 5, is always hot and ready for a relaxing soak. Enjoy a soak with mountain views by day and the stars by night. You and your family or friends will feel they are in heaven!

Other features include central air conditioning and heat with Ecobee thermostat, 4 bicycles (2 adult, 2 kids), and a hammock. We also supply beach chairs, coolers, and beach towels. Recommendations for concierge services, wine tasting tours and activities can be made.

This lovely home is our primary residence. Listing it on both VRBO and Home Exchange has allowed us wonderful travel opportunities. Rest assured that the home will be clean and tidy, with plenty of space for you personal belongings. Your perfect vacation awaits!

Napa Property
Backyard with pool and jacuzzi excellent. Great location close to St Helena. Pics of inside of house not quite accurate. Lots of family photos, books, and clothing taking up most closets made it a bit awkward to stay. Large treadmill in master bedroom taking up half room and bed/mattress old and sagging. Lots of instructions from host how to care for house posted throughout. A bit odd to be honest. Maybe a good stay for an older couple - not the best house for a family or a young group. Overall pool and jacuzzi probably pushed towards positive.

Visiting Our Winery in St. Helena
Exceptional property—great location in St. Helena. Set in the middle of several vineyards and the property was very “homey” with a fantastic backyard-pool and well maintained grounds/gardens. Walkable to everything downtown which is a great perk.

Perfect Views, Idyllic Yard
Two couples stayed for a long weekend at this home. The home is lovely, but the setting is picturesque and the yard is idyllic. The location is on a dead-end country road surrounded by vineyards but just a short walk from St. Helena. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Wonderful location
We loved staying here. Kathi was attentive and flexible, and I felt like we could be friends (her home is filled with family photos and pics of her travels.) I think she is quite lovely. The house is clean, the backyard is FABULOUS, and it's a short walk into town along beautiful side roads and vineyards. We felt right at home!

Always a great stay
We have been coming to this property for several years now and always find the accommodations outstanding. The owners communicate well with us and address any of our concerns promptly. The pool is great as is the outdoor setting. We have been spending more time at the house fixing dinners and enjoying the pool instead of running up and down the valley although the house is located in a prime spot if that is what you want to do.

We’ll be back…..
I cannot imagine a more beautiful place to stay in the Napa region. Calling it an Oasis is the perfect description. The house is comfortable as well as immaculate and has a particularly gorgeous kitchen and baths. The back yard / pool area is even more stunning in person than in the pictures. We could have easily spent the whole trip lounging by the completely private pool and and staring at the beautifully-maintained gardens and views. It should also be noted that the hosts are incredibly gracious people who provided us with a great deal of useful/helpful information prior to our trip. We will look forward to returning!

About the host

Hosted by Kathi Brotemarkle

Host profile image
We have lived in the beautiful Napa Valley since 1990. We bought our home in 1995 and have lovingly maintained it. Living in it has afforded us the Napa Valley lifestyle we had dreamed of. Our neighborhood is one of the most desirable locations for walking and enjoying the vineyard views. The home has become a true oasis for us and for our guests. David is a semi-retired CPA and Kathi is a singer and actor in local and Bay Area theater. We are both in our 70s, and love travel, skiing, scuba diving, exploring new cities, cultures, and food! Our grown daughters are both living in the Portland, OR, area.




Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this home and the property because of its unique setting; a quiet country lane, but close to town, with privacy and vineyard and mountain views. We believe this is the perfect house for enjoying the Napa Valley. When I wake in the morning I marvel at how I cannot hear a sound, except the birds singing. No traffic noise, no noisy neighbors...just blissful quiet! Close to San Francisco in the Wine Country. A beautiful home down a quiet lane but still within walking distance to dining, movies, wineries, parks, and shopping. A pool and hot tub complete the resort like atmosphere. There are many lovely vacation homes in St. Helena but few offer all three of the highly sought after elements of vineyard views, pool, and a short walk to town. We are also 90 minutes to the Pacific coast, the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. A bit further you will find Lake Tahoe, Monterey, Carmel and Yosemite. St. Helena is a sophisticated small town with world class dining and also offers weekly farmers markets, concerts in the park, and cooking classes at the Culinary Institute of America. The Napa Valley is the premier wine making region in the United States and is home to more than 400 wineries, many within a short drive or walk from our home. Only two Francisco Bay Area restaurants earned the coveted Michelin 'three star' rating, The Restaurant at Meadowood, here in St. Helena, and the French Laundry in Yountville, only 15 minutes away. Combine a beautiful home in a resort like setting with all the benefits of a world class vacation destination and you have our home in the Napa Valley.

What makes this property unique

Our home is on a quiet country lane but within a short walking distance to Main Street St. Helena. One of the very few VRBO homes with this location as well as a pool. We have beautiful vineyard views as we stroll up the street to town. In town are restaurants, shops, movies, and parks. No need to drive to dinner unless you want to go a bit further to one of several Michelin Star restaurants within a 15 minute drive. Though our setting is rural, the town is very sophisticated. The area is popular for world class dining and wine tasting, bike riding, hiking, and hot air balloon rides, and simply enjoying the beauty of the Napa Valley. Some of California's best restaurants are located within minutes of our home. Farmstead, Market, Cook, Terra, Goose & Gander, The French Laundry, just to name a few. You will enjoy days by the pool, and evenings dining al fresco while soaking up the serene atmosphere. The only sounds you will hear at night are the grapes growing and the birds singing. This is the best the Wine Country can offer in a vacation home. A true Wine Country Oasis!
We are also members of Home Exchange listing #447971, in case you have property you would like to exchange with ours.
