Getting Around:
From San Francisco, the drive is about 2.5 hours via Highway 101 to Highway 1. Fly into Santa Rosa's Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS), about 90 minutes east, and drive the coast from there. Having a car opens up the entire Mendonoma Coast.

Summary: The view from this property is absolutely incredible—truly 10/10 and the highlight of our stay.Unfortunately, there were serious safety and maintenance concerns that significantly impacted our experience. My husband fell through a weakened section of the deck next to the hot tub, which is a major safety hazard and could easily result in serious injury. This issue should be addressed immediately.Additionally, the bathroom and kitchen are in need of updates. The shower handle kept falling off when we turned it on and the outdoor barbecue was a challenge to use as we had to lift propane tank up onto something to make a connection. These areas would benefit from maintenance and upgrades to ensure guest comfort and usability.With repairs and improvements, this property has the potential to be a wonderful place to stay, but guests should be aware of these concerns.
