Vinifera Homes Reviews

Private little gem tucked away in some of the most gorgeous redwoods the Russian River has to offer. Grab lunch at the Guerneville taco truck and head to Blind Beach to picnic at Goat Rock. You won't be disappointed! This bnb is lovely, Harman is very friendly and helpful! The beds and linens were super comfortable. The little table on the deck is where we enjoyed coffee among the redwood giants every morning. What I appreciate the most is that there are ZERO harsh LED/Fluorescent lights - like many rental properties nowadays - that feel cold and sterile. This is a well-loved and cozy home with color and warm, thoughtful touches. We had the best week, will return!

Impossible not to give 5 stars!

What a stunning place to stay!! Spent 5 nights here with our 4 kids (16-12) to chill after a hectic couple of weeks in CA.

Beautiful house, fantastically laid out and equipped. Kayaks and the dock right on the river such a plus - beautiful place to watch the world go by. So comfy both inside and out!

Outside deck was so lovely to sit outside - plenty of options - both to eat and chill underneath amazing stars. Hot tub was fun for everyone - lots of outdoor activities to keep kids everyone entertained!

Harman so helpful and responsive - such a pleasure to deal with.

We've always loved visiting Bodega Bay and this home was perfect for our family. It was comfortable, clean and had great amenities. Everyone in our party felt right at home... even our pooch! I highly recommend this home and host.

Amazing location with a clear view of the ocean. The property is huge and we spent a lot of our time in the backyard facing the ocean. This place has a micro climate of its own and was surprised to find it so calm while other places a few miles away were windy. Would love to come back again sometime in the future

Would NOT recommend this property. We specifically paid more for this home because of the pool. After seeing previous reviews about it being green/unusable, the bride contacted the host weeks in advance and was assured the pool was regularly cleaned and maintained. We arrived to a pool covered in blue-green algae and completely unusable—the exact issue we tried to avoid. We spent hours of our bachelorette weekend communicating with the host/property managers and, despite being offered compensation, received only $200 back. The home was also poorly maintained: bedroom walls were dirty/scuffed, we found a cockroach in a bedroom, and nearly every TV remote had dead batteries. Host responses felt generic/AI-generated and Airbnb provided no meaningful help. Extremely disappointing experience and absolutely not worth what we paid. Disappointed in both host, and Airbnb. It was handled like a clown show. DONT WASTE YOUR DOLLARS

Beautiful home! We all had a wonderful stay, especially with Harman as our host! Thank you Harman for the experience; it was delightful!

Great place! It has it all. Great deck, river toys, and a beautiful kitchen. Definitely coming back!

This was our first Airbnb. Harman was amazing, he was quick to respond. I had requested few extra table fans and he got them delivered immediately. Place was absolutely gorgeous. Saw beautiful sunsets every evening and I saw stars like have never seen before because of no light pollution. Place was very clean and comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at Harman’s home in Forestville! The house was exceptionally clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the bathrooms were spotless with fluffy towels and thoughtful amenities.

The koi pond was such a lovely touch and added to the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere of the property. Harman was a wonderful host—friendly, welcoming, and always prompt with communication.

The location was perfect for enjoying Sonoma wine country, and we would absolutely stay here again. We look forward to coming back on our next visit!

We had a great stay! The place was nice and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We did encounter a minor issue during our stay, but the host was extremely responsive and addressed it immediately. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and appreciated how attentive and helpful the host was. We would definitely consider staying here again!

This Airbnb was amazing and truly felt like we were staying in a stunning Italian villa. There was so much space for our group to spread out and relax, and every detail of the home felt so thoughtfully and mindfully planned. Honestly, the pictures don’t even do this place justice!

Harman was an incredible host — so attentive, responsive, and quick to answer any questions we had throughout our stay. My group and I had the most amazing time here, and our only regret is that we didn’t book a longer trip so we could have squeezed in another pool day!

We would absolutely stay here again and can’t recommend this beautiful home enough. 10/10 experience!

This is our second stay here, and the new owner/manager has made some fabulous improvements and is very friendly & responsive. The views overlooking the Pacific are astounding —especially the peaceful, private back deck that is excellent for birding. The kitchen was beautiful, well stocked, and very clean. The beds were very comfortable, and the hot tub was pristine. We had so much fun kayaking the Gualala river, exploring the local beaches, and visiting the B Bryan Reserve —we would definitely book this beautiful home again.

Our group of 15 adults utilized all three accommodations. We misunderstood that all houses were not together on the same property which made group coordination a bit tricky. Every home was comfortable. What we did not expect was a variety of unknown visitors in the home space (immediate yard area, porch, etc) throughout our stay. We expected (per the listing) that folks may be on the paths- but not right in our reserved space with us. We also found the maintenance being done both days at the property to be a bit difficult and a distraction to our company retreat. The property is magnificent and the sculptures beautiful, thought provoking and really wonderful to spend time amongst.
