The home is charming, spotless, and very “Napa.” We loved the décor, the layout, and the beautiful backyard. The owners were responsive, and the space was comfortable overall. Future guests should note that many wineries are far from Kenwood, so plan for extra travel time or transportation costs. The outdoor deck is also extremely slippery, which is clearly posted, but families with children may want to be cautious.Be sure to read the house rules closely. Our group ended up with five guests instead of four, and although the home sleeps six, the owners required full names for everyone and immediately charged the extra guest fee. While the fee is stated, the interaction felt stricter than expected. Also, the “no smoking” rule applies both indoors and outdoors, which isn’t clearly explained.During our stay, the owners entered the property to fix landscape lighting without notifying us beforehand, despite the rules stating they would reach out first. While the repair was appreciated, the lack of notice made us uncomfortable. After this visit, I received an email stating that a bag of trash was left outside and that smoking was not permitted. It felt like we were in trouble or something. As a group of working professionals, it put us off.Overall, the home is lovely and will work well for many travelers, but the strict rules and interactions with the owners left us feeling less welcome than we hoped.
