Sonoma Valley Escapes - Sonoma, California

Our stay in Sonoma was truly incredible. The yellow and red cottages were a perfect getaway for our two families. The yard is literally jaw-droppingly beautiful and provided for many hours of outdoor enjoyment. Phyllis was an excellent ambassador for the area and bent over backwards to make our stay wonderful. Highly recommend!

What an incredible week in Sonoma! You know you've had a special vacation experience when you're still thinking about it days and weeks later, and yearning to return for more. It was a truly wonderful week in a perfect home, and we're grateful to SVE, and particularly, the PHENOMENAL Phyllis, for the responsive, enthusiastic and helpful support we received in the weeks leading up to the trip, and for any inquiries during our stay. Our sincere thanks to Phyllis and the team at SVE for having made our special celebration with friends in Sonoma so memorable! We're already looking forward to a return visit!

I am very familiar with the Sonoma area and I loved the Wood Valley Ranch.

The quiet street, well kept grounds with vineyard, the comfy house, and pool.

Definitely felt at home at this property!

This property is truly a wine lover's paradise.
Close proximity to wineries, tasting rooms and downtown!

Will definitely be back!

Thank you to Sonoma Valley Escapes for their excellent hospitality and attention to detail.

We planned on staying at a Sonoma Valley Escape policy for a long weekend. Our plans changed and the property owners worked with us to find another interested party and provide a full refund, even if they did not need to. I would not hesitate to stay at one of their properties in the future given our initial experience.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the UPDATED Wood Valley Ranch in Sonoma. The photos on their the SV Escapes site are not yet updated, as this property was recently completely overhauled and was absolutely impeccable, from the marble counters, soft close cabinetry, new floors, fantastic furniture (leather couches and club chairs were so comfy), to the brand new linens and high end comforters and pillows. The kitchen was completely stocked with very high quality cookware, dishes and cutlery. The pool/spa were a perfect touch at the end of a "long" day of exploring local wineries, and there was even an outdoor propane firepit. Byron was a very responsive and attentive manager, and even set us up with local complimentary wine tastings. Everything from first contact to check out was top notch with this company and home!

I LOVE Sonoma Valley Escapes. They are professional, timely, have beautiful properties that are kept up, and the prices are fair. I have always had great experiences while staying at SVE properties and while booking. The process is easy and I feel confident that I am getting a great deal and that the properties are as they are shown in photos or described to me by Heather. I try to do little getaways with my husband, we love the properties in Sonoma and Glen Ellen.
When my friends come out from the Eats Coast, we call Heather and like to book the Ripple House.

I travel all over the country and use AirBnB and VRBO and I generally have good experiences but nothing comparable to SVE.
SVE is top notch all the way.

Do not use this company. They will defraud you. Please see the uploaded pictures and be the judge.
I rented the Wood Valley Ranch for my sister's bachelorette weekend. The house was riddled with problems, only one of which was solved during our stay. The house had not been adequately cleaned. There were bugs smashed into the walls and mud in the bathtubs. The water was opaque and unusable, we were in fact provided drinking water after being notified hours before check-in "the water at Wood Valley Ranch is a bit off-color due to the earthquake. Due to some iron sediment. We have flushed the line, and the water should clear with a couple days of use." The water never cleared and the water was beyond off color. None of the members of the party were able to adequately bathe during this stay. I could have made other arrangements if when I called the day after the earthquake I had not been assured that the house was in perfect condition. I was either intentionally lied to or Sonoma Valley Escapes had not been to the site. As a result of the water quality the pool did not have adequate levels of water for the drain to work so the pool was filled with bugs and other debris. The pool area had also not been cleaned prior to our check in and there was glass on the deck and beer cans in the bushes. The internet in the house did not work nor did the cable, the outdoor/indoor speakers, the lights in the living room, many outlets, or the air conditioning. Upon asking for a discount we were denied and told that the house was in "lovely" condition. I also had a difficult time even getting the company to answer my phone calls for help.

Check The Weather!
House as described except for one minor detail: no a/c. Stayed there for a wedding early June and got dressed in100 degree heat outside with 5 huge skylights uncovered, 4-5 very large windows uncovered, and 3 french doors uncovered. Had to be 120 inside at 4PM while dressing for the wedding. My wife's and daughter's make-up melted. No sleep for 3 nights as master bedroom in loft with no wall to living space so heat rose to unbearable levels. Other than that........
