Perks for the Parents
This chic one-level home is a perfect getaway from San Francisco, with a spacious deck and with swing chairs inside, plus a playground down the street and wineries within easy reach. Battle tested with kids of all ages, it has an open plan layout and a huge deck, fully enclosed by a fence. Set in grounds shared with 2 other tenants, it is a vintage-themed, quirky space with details including a wicker swing chair in the master bedroom, kids bedroom/playroom and outdoor space hung with lights and animal skulls.
Why Kids Love it
There is a bonanza of toys and games in the kids room, with a chalkboard wall and plenty to keep kids busy. A school playground is just down the street, and there are plenty of family-friendly activities in the area, from a disc golf course to farm tours, swimming, apple picking, and more. On lazy days, curl up in front of the fireplace and tackle one of the puzzles. A pack and play, high chair, kids towels and bath toys are all on hand. There is also a pull-out couch for kids along with the bunk bed.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 2 days. Please note there are 2 other tenants on the property, but they are beyond the fenced area, so the home itself (with the deck) are totally private. A car is essential in the area to pick up groceries and explore wineries and countryside attractions. A studio cottage is available next to the house with a double bed, bathroom and shower for an extra $100/night. Please contact the host to book this property together with the main house.

Style Notes
Bright, stylish and light. This spacious home is comfortable and easily accommodates big family groups. With a cabin feel, quirky decor details includes walls of statement wallpaper, skulls, oil portraits and a carved wood headboard. We love the cozy atmosphere, the wicker hanging chair with a fleece in the main bedroom and the abundance of toys in the playroom/bedroom.
