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.

Girls Weekend
Fantastic stay. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The wifi was fast. Outdoor area was really nice. We sat outside with a glass of wine both nights of our stay. Private, no bugs, enough shade. Master bedroom was large and had a comfortable king size bed. The second bedroom had a queen. The house was a little warm when we arrived but the nest thermostat was easy to opperate. The hot water took some time to warm up but then provided plenty of warm water for showers.

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.

Darling House in Santa Rosa
I stayed here for five days. Great find. The house is very nicely furnished. Fresh and super clean. Very comfortable. It has a very nice big backyard. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Oh well, that was so good. I have a straw. The host was on top of everything.

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.

Great property.
The house was just as pictured. They even added a couple comfortable arm chairs in the living room to expand the seating. It was perfect for three people to work and do school for a week. Internet worked great. The kitchen has all the necessary pots and pans, but it would be best to plan to cook simple meals which don’t require any fancy equipment (e.g. food processor).

Another very good stay
We have stayed at this property before and enjoy it very much. The location is ideal for us because we have family living in the neighborhood. We love the property, and it was very clean and comfortable to stay during covid times. A few minor maintenance suggestions: the interior could use some light paint touchup at this point; the bathroom sink drain is faulty; and having the landscapers come every week rather than every other week would be good in the fall, as the backyard had a lot of leaves throughout our stay. But these are minor comments--Overall, a very pleasant and relaxing stay!

We stayed at this property about a year ago. It is near the hospitals, friends and family. The master bedroom was roomy and quiet. Please stop using fragrances, including in laundry soaps. We are allergic to them. Hard to breathe in there.

Lovely House
The house was wonderful buy there were things that could have been better...a few of the pans for cooking were to the point of breaking and the master bath toilet did not flush because the handle was broken. We had to take the back off and manually lift it up to flush each time.

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.
