Bennett Valley Eden

This is an absolutely lovely place to stay with fun and funky buildings. At one point when a member of our party was locked out of where he was staying (the smallest building) Debi was very helpful and responsive in helping us troubleshoot the problem. But there are some issues that either ought to be addressed or need to be stated very clearly in the main description of this stay. Due to the lack of blinds or the presence of decorative rather than functional blinds/curtains, there is very little privacy from other members of your party or ability to keep bedrooms dark in the morning. Some bedroom doors would not remain closed on their own. And there is no lighting to guide you to and from the hot tub when it's dark, posing a potential safety hazard.

My family stayed at this property in mid-May for a wedding. The property layout was exactly what we needed: three separate houses with shared space. We appreciated the privacy. The host was very responsive and proactive in communications. We rented at an additional cost another pack-and-play, and the host was prompt in ordering and coordinating the payment. All amenities were fully functioning, including the hot hub. The main home and the two-bedroom and studio were worn, well-loved. Overall, we had a good stay.

We had a wonderful girls trip to Sonoma & Napa! We appreciated each having our own space with our own bed and bedroom but also getting to be together in the common areas when desired. The hot tub was a nice plus! Weather was absolutely perfect to enjoy the beautiful, peaceful and private surroundings. What a unique property. Also loved being close to grocery stores and 15 min from downtown Santa Rosa for restaurants and also 2 OrangeTheory Fitness gyms nearby for early AM workouts for east coasters before a day out in wine country. We would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our weekend at this estate! The property is situated in a beautiful location and offered a peaceful atmosphere for our getaway. The stay was overall good, though there are a few small details that could be easily addressed to improve the experience. In the main house, the windows between the master bedroom and bathroom let a lot of light through at night, which can be a bit disruptive for sleepers; adding blackouts there would be a great addition. We also noticed the grill didn't have utensils (tongs/spatula) available, and the coffee machine hadn't been cleared of grounds from the previous stay. These are all very easy fixes, and with a little more attention to these details, this property would be even better for future guests!

We celebrated two eightieth birthdays while staying here. There were twelve of us, a comfortable bed for everyone, and with three units, privacy for those who needed alone time, and in the main house plenty of space for socializing.We hiked up at Trione-Annandel State Park, and mostly ate out in Glen Ellen and Kenwood. Birthday dinner at Stella's in Kenwood. Fabulous.

The location of this place is beautiful! Overall it fit all the needs for our group of 6 couples. The house was clean and well decorated. Only complaint would be the 2 rooms in the main house had see through doors and you could hear everything through the walls. The grounds were amazing!

We celebrated our dad's 80th birthday at Debi's house with our entire family. The separate houses were perfect for accommodating our different families, and were in clean and neat conditions. The surroundings are gorgeous and the location was close to many Sonoma locations to explore. We had a fantastic celebration!

We spent New Year’s Eve at Debi’s house with a large group of friends. The three houses were perfect for us, with the main house being big enough for everyone to hang out and cook dinner, etc. Unfortunately it rained most of our trip so we couldn’t enjoy the outdoor areas, but the property was beautiful and secluded. Debi was also super communicative and helpful throughout our stay. Would recommend this place for another group vacation!

Great place to spend 4 days with large family for our annual Christmas gathering. Having the main house, and 2 separate units provided the space for each family to spend some alone time and privacy after a day of being all together. The main house was spacious for all of us to enjoy, and especially for the small kids (and 2 dogs) to play. The kitchen was well-equipped and met our every need in preparing large meals. The 2 units were very charming. Loved the EV charger - nice amenity for those who drive EVs! The grounds are nice, and plenty of room outside for the kids and dogs to play. High-five to Deb for being super responsive to my call on Christmas Day when we arrived shortly before sundown and found out the electricity was out! She provided us options, but luckily didn't need it as the power came back while we were on the phone. All in all, a 5-star place for large families, and 5-star customer service from Deb and her team.

Sara B. - Posted: 9/5/2025

The property accommodated myself and my 3 children and their families, 16 people. It was great to have a place to gather together for meals as well as several separate areas for quieter groupings. My grandson loved seeing deer in the mornings.The location was convenient to Howarth Park where we had a family reunion. As a minor issue, the scratched teflon fry pans do need replacing. One must also not be bothered by the neighbor's barking dog.Overall, a good location for our visit to Santa Rosa.

Kathy H. - Posted: 7/19/2025

Stayed at Eden with another family and it was the perfect "base camp." The property and location were great, and it was very helpful to have three different units for all of us to spread out. We went to Napa and all over Sonoma County and the location was convenient to everything.

Mark G. - Posted: 6/6/2025

The whole property was just so nice and peaceful. Beautiful old oak trees. its springtime so flowers are blooming all over the place, many nice spots to just sit and read a book out in the gardens. It is a perfect place to have togetherness and some space. Both the outside buildings are nice, with full kitchens

Arnita D. - Posted: 4/9/2025

Our stay is amazing. The property is perfectly located! Our family stayed for 3 nights and we loved it! The house, cottage and studio were perfect for a party of 10! Everything was clean and well maintained. Instructions for the property were easy to follow. We will be back and recommend this amazing property!

We had a lovely stay at your property. It was perfect for our group which had ages 31-70. We all had a little privacy and enjoyed the outdoor areas tremendously. Kitchens were well appointed and it was great to have several ovens! It was a short hop to the several wineries we did tastings at and to grocery stores and shops. Highly recommend for groups.

Beautiful property literally just outside of Town. So very close to any amenities needed but very secluded feeling. We visited right after our wedding with our family and close friends. The 3 houses worked perfectly giving us all our space but we had the main house to gather together for meals and all be together. We would recommend this property for any one needing a little get away! Great host that got back to you right away with any questions.

robert m. - Posted: 9/26/2024

We loved our stay at the WC lodging. For a large group like ours with multiple families, the split accommodations were perfect and ideal. The house was well equipped with all the necessary cutlery and kitchen items and there were plenty of towels to go around. The hot tub was great too and the setting overall is very serene! Only thing was that the water was a bit smelly and noticed in the toilets that it came out light yellow. Not a huge deal breaker For us since we had our own water to drink but just fyi. Thanks for a great stay!

Neeti P. - Posted: 8/15/2024

Property was as advertised. Wish I got to spend more time on property. Good for stay with friends with multiple buildings on property.

Joel R. - Posted: 7/30/2024

We wanted a quiet place near where we grew up for a family gathering for siblings and their partners and children from around the country. The Bennett Valley Eden was perfect: it allowed us to cook and eat together, plus lots of inside and outside places to gather for conversations. We really how appreciated the "Post Office" and Studio houses provided quiet places for late risers and infant naps.

Ronald M. - Posted: 7/25/2024

My family stayed at this Bennett Valley property the end of June 2024 and we really enjoyed our stay! This place is nicely setup for a larger group with three houses; a large main house, a two bedroom detached cottage and a detached studio. Everything was clean and well stocked for our stay. Located a few miles outside of Santa Rosa; the best of both worlds with restaurants, wineries, and stores close by but rural and relatively private in the hills. We found the property owner/manager quite responsive when we had a small problem with the key pad on one of the doors. A good time was had by all!

The location is great but the overall experience was average at best. From the shower in the guest house not working, to multiple toilets backing up, to the AWFUL sulfur smell in the water, and probably the most uncomfortable couch I’ve ever sat on, we hoped for more. We had extended family with us and we chose to stand up when hanging out inside at times due to the couch being almost impossible to sit on comfortably. Prior to the trip we read other reviews and asked about the sulfur smell. The host assured us it was remediated. That was not the case to the extent my wife used bottled water to brush her teeth. However the worst part of the trip was communicating with the host. Their attitude was curt and condescending. As a Superhost with the other company myself, I was shocked by their attitude and answers to basic questions. We have future plans to visit the area and can assure you that we will avoid any property hosted by this host management firm.

Three separate houses allow for congregating together for meals and family time while still providing individual space for quiet time or smaller groupings. Wonderful location close to SR but with a rural feel, dark night skies for star gazing. Plenty of outdoor gathering areas for lounging in the beautiful countryside.

For Easter weekend, our group of 11 needed a place that could house multiple families that also preferred their own bedrooms and bathrooms. This "Eden" in Bennet Valley suited our needs perfectly. With its spacious rooms and all of its amenities, everyone in our big family whose ages ranged from 70 to 7 years old found something to love. From the multiple kitchens to the outdoor grill, we easily got to whip up a feast for ourselves every night of our stay. The location is far enough away from the main cities and roads that we had peace and quiet but not so far away that we couldn't get to a market for last-minute grocery shopping. The premises were wide enough to accommodate us while also providing some spaces for smaller groups to sit together. Self check-in/check out instructions provided by the hosts were straightforward and very easy to follow. Overall, I'd strongly recommend this rental for a big group planning a little getaway around Sonoma County.

We stayed in this listing with a group of friends for a birthday. It's hard to find a good spot for a large group, and this property was great for our group size! The house was clean, and checkin/out was easy. There was an issue with unlocking one of the properties, but the host was very responsive and resolved it. Overall a good stay!

We rented all three properties and were impressed with the space! We had an issue with no propane in the small studio when we first got there, and someone came out to fix immediately it in the pouring rain - very responsive. Plenty of parking, very peaceful, just lovely.

We enjoyed our stay. We came to the area for my birthday and there were 11 adults. With the 3 houses on the property, it was more than enough space for us. The main house had enough room for all of us to gather. The area is great and a good choice if you’re there to visit the Napa and Sonoma wineries which was the point of our visit. We loved the hot tub and fit 6 very comfortably. I’m sure we could’ve fit more if we tried. As the listing states, there is a sulfur smell to the water. We found it reasonable with the exception of the studio. It was a little stronger there but there are enough bathrooms that our friends just came to the main house to shower. We loved that we didn’t have to throw out leftover drinks and food as the owner donates it. That was a really nice touch!

Separate main house & cottages worked well for our families.

This property was perfect for our group of 5 adult couples as we each wanted our own bedroom and bathroom. A couple of the bathrooms were small but adequately served the purpose. The property layout is very unique in that there are 3 separate buildings but we used the main house as our central space. The grounds were well kept and offered several areas to gather and relax. Our trip was mainly to visit the Napa Valley wineries and while this property was on average 45 minutes away from those we selected, the drive was always scenic and enjoyable. The communication with the owner/broker was excellent and responsive. Highly recommend this property for larger groups who want to stay together but have privacy as well.

Do not stay here if the smell of sulfur aka rotten eggs are disruptive to you. My friends and I stayed here for a wedding that was nearby. All was well, it was great seeing everyone and the place had necessary amenities we needed. But all water from faucets and showers had an incredibly strong stench of Sulfur (smells like rotten eggs for reference). In the smaller units that smell travelled throughout the whole place and lingered at all hours of the day. Our group remarked that it felt like showers and brushing our teeth didn't get us clean. We reached out to the host following our stay who was unapologetic about the situation. Remarking how it's a common issue. To me, it sounded like prepared remarks. Which it is, as you can see from previous reviews. We reached out to Vrbo to see if they can mediate a conversation between the property and us since we didn't have luck talking directly to the property. They remarked that since our stay was over, there was nothing they could do. And it was up to the property manager to issue any sort of consolation. I hope for any future guests who are staying here they fix this problem because it dampened our vacation. They'll probably respond saying we should've reached out during the stay. To that, I say that's not exactly how I'd want to spend a vacation. We just wish it was disclosed in the description of the listing. We just noticed while writing this review that it was called out in a recent review, but was still not fixed before our stay.

The property was lovely. We enjoyed the hot tub in the morning while watching the wild life. The three separate properties were great to share with friends, and then the main house to come together to cook and enjoy meals. There was a lack of window coverings and a few basic tools such as a cork screw. But overall our stay was wonderful!

Wonderful time at this secluded and peaceful property. It felt like you were in your own sanctuary but only took about ten minutes to get into Santa Rosa proper. I was here for my Bachelorette weekend (most of us were above age 30) and we all had a wonderful time cooking and catching up with one another and then being able to retreat to our private rooms. Only suggestion is to address the weird smell coming from the faucets and showers and to add additional window coverings - At night or while changing it got rather creepy when there was no way to ensure privacy. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

I loved my experience staying here. The 3 separate property accommodations suited our party of 12 nicely. The main house has a gorgeous open kitchen and living room for everyone to gather. My two younger kids loved the grounds , they went foraging for fire twigs , picking flowers and the neighbors fruits. They had a great time exploring the whole backyard which seemed like a personal forest . They also enjoyed the hot tub. The medium size unit has a steam room in one of its bath. Every unit has its own kitchen. The only thing I would reconsider is the lack of window coverings in its so many windows/doors. I appreciate the natural light but at night it was kinda creepy. And the smell of sulfur coming from the sinks and shower. All in all , we enjoyed our stay and loved this property. Would love to book again .
