Stunning, Large, Beautifully Decorated Home in Downtown Lodi with Spa Amenities

Welcome to the Sideways House, named for its gracious entrance located on the side of the home, and a nod to the iconic movie that put wine tasting on the map. This stately home was built in 1926 and is perfectly located on one of "old" Lodi's most desirable tree-lined streets, and arguably the best VRBO for easy walking distance to tasting rooms, restaurants, theaters, parks and downtown.
This gorgeous home has been recently redecorated and lovingly brought back to her original grandeur. There is a large living room with beautiful, original molding, hardwood floors and grand windows. Ample comfortable seating is provided and a flatscreen TV, and fireplace will help you feel right at home. The living room opens up into a fun bar area that also provides access to the outside eating area. The beautiful, large dining room seats 8. The kitchen is well equipped with new appliances. (The home can be stocked with groceries if so desired) A cute, sunny kitchen eating area welcomes you in and offers a wonderful view of the large yard, fish pond and bocce court.

There are four beautifully appointed bedrooms which accommodate up to eight guests. Fine linens, down comforters (Non down bedding may be requested), robes and comfortable beds await you. Each bedroom has a television, IHome alarm clock, luggage rack and at least two windows in each bedroom to let in the cool breeze or warm sunshine.
The blue bedroom - California king bed

The red room - Queen bed.

The coral room - Full bed

The yellow room - Twin with trundle

There are two well appointed bathrooms with plenty of towels and other comforts to make your stay perfect. The upstairs bathroom has a bath and shower, granite counter tops and glass tile accents. The downstairs bathroom has a huge shower with bench, a rain shower faucet and other faucet features,

A washer and dryer are available along with laundry pods.

The backyard is park like and tranquil with an outside eating area with BBQ and bocce court, beautiful landscaping and a fish pond. The backyard also shares access to Perfect Balance Day Spa's Hideaway for all your pampering needs. Discounts for spa treatments booked while staying at the Sideways House are available.

Wonderful location with a thoughtful host
The house is beautiful. It has a wonderful location. The only drawback is that the backyard is the entrance to the day spa which means there is a lot of traffic and people walking through but the thoughtfulness of the host and the location and set up at the house, made it worth it.

Amazing place and location
Came here for a get away with a group of friends who I've know for over 40 years, we each had our own comfortable room, there was so much great socializing space, the house is beautiful and the location is so great--quiet yet close to lots of restaurants etc. We were greeted with a homemade cake, strawberries and wine, and the kitchen is so well stocked with everything. The check in and out was super easy and smooth. Lodi is a lovely town. My friends and I all loved it!

Fabulous home, location, and host. Lisa was amazing and so accommodating with her recommendations, special touches and responses to our questions and requests. We had an amazing time celebrating a birthday in most part to this amazing home and it’s host, We definitely plan to revisit this property. It was my first VRBO experience and Lisa set a high bar for any other host we may encounter in the future through VRBO.

The sideways home is a beautiful, charming home. The well shaded backyard was perfect for summer evening barbecues. It appears that the building has recently been updated and the kitchen has modern appliances.Also, the property is within easy, walking distance to downtown.

Beautiful, safe neighborhood
This is a beautiful house. We loved staying there. We felt relaxed and at home. The backyard is wonderful. Sitting, listening to the pond and the bocce ball court was an added bonus. The house had everything an more than we needed. Note however, all the bedrooms are upstairs. Very clean, thank you for that 💗

Easy to live in with family of 8 adults. Spacious and well appointed.
Beautiful home and neighborhood. We have an annual adult only family getaway and this home fit us perfectly! We used the large dining table, kitchen, bbq, living room and bar non stop. Having a nook off kitchen gave us extra space for a "snack table". The exclusive bar gave us space for all the drinks. Living room was comfortable and spacious AND had a gas fireplace - lovely. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms had all the amenities needed.

Amazing Wedding Weekend!
We were so happy with our stay in Lodi at this beautiful home. The decorations for the holidays welcomed us and the warmth of fresh strawberries, cake, and wine were also incredible! The home was just what we hoped for with my parents (92 years), my children (27 and 23 years), and my husband and I sleeping well and space to complete wedding preparations and pre-gatherings. My parents, son, and I also benefited from the delightful adjoining Spa close by. Thank you so much for providing the perfect gathering spot in Lodi! Best wishes!

Classic beauty, comfort & style
We were in town for our son's wedding and chose this centrally located gem for ourselves and 6 of our closest friends. It did not disappoint! EVERYONE thoroughly enjoyed this great historic beauty of a home. Wonderfully appointed, expertly finished with all the classic woodwork & furnishings, along with modern amenities and beautiful tile & slab countertops, upgraded plumbing & appliances. Totally worth it!

Beautiful and Charming Home
We stayed at the Sideways House for 4 days- traveling to Lodi from N. Idaho for our daughters wedding. We truly enjoyed our stay in this charming home. It is beautiful and close to EVERYTHING in downtown Lodi. We founds the beds comfortable and the house was spotless. The host made us feel MORE than at home, with a cake and wine waiting on the table for us- and offerings at the Spa facility next door. Both check-in and checkout were a breeze. We truly do not have a single negative on the property or host. Thanks for allowing us to stay. The Blough’s

Gorgeous House in Lodi!
This lovely home is located on a quiet downtown Lodi street within walking distance to shops, restaurants and tasting rooms as well as just a short drive to all the Lodi wineries. The house is beautifully decorated with amenities rivaling a 5 star resort. One of the most wonderful features of the home is the backyard with fountains, gardens, bocce ball court, outdoor seating and fire pits. We spent every morning having a cup of tea in the garden and then a glass of Lodi wine in the evenings by the bocce court. You won't be disappointed if you choose this home for your next vacation stay.

Retreat to Lodi
First of all, we cannot compliment our host enough on the simple and elegant luxuries she set up for our arrival!! From welcome goodies to flowers. We walked in feeling so welcomed and at home. The Sideways House is an incredible home filled with historical architectural elements; however, it has all modern upgrades that do not take away from its ambiance. All bedrooms are decorated beautifully and the beds themselves are very comfortable! Lastly, you can walk into town ~ only 4 to 5 blocks away! The Perfect Day Spa in the back of the property is another perk to staying here. You will not be disappointed!

Most Beautiful Place to stay in Old Town
This is an immaculately maintained property in beautiful Old Town Lodi. My wife and I came to Lodi for a wedding and were looking for a nice place to stay - well, we really found it! The Sideways House is beautifully decorated, and has all sorts for "charm". The hosts left a yummy cake, a bottle of wine and tasty strawberries for us - we ate and drank everything. We own 2 vacation rentals which we maintain to the highest standards - this is the first time that we have stayed at a property that matched our standards, and which had no negatives at all!!! If you want a gorgeous, quiet place to stay, with a lovely bed (s) and tons of room to roam around in, book the Sideways House now!! Paul & Janice

Highly Recommend
This home was immaculate and incredibly charming. Our group stayed here to celebrate a friends birthday and do some wine tasting. The owner, Lisa, was so kind and set out a bottle of wine, strawberries and cake. So sweet! The home is within walking distance to a few wine tasting rooms and restaurants which was perfect for us. We also took advantage of the spa next door. Booking this home gets you $20 off your service. Nice touch! Lisa considered every detail and everything we could have possibly needed was there. Literally everyone in our group was impressed by this home and we plan to come back again. You will not regret booking this place. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality, Lisa!
