Casa de Gamay: Your Home Away From Home

Casa de Gamay is not just a house with a bedroom and a kitchen, our hope is that it is your home while you are away from home. We've strove to include all the amenities one would need while on the road and many you may not have thought about.

Start with a complete kitchen with a few items ready to cook for that last minute dinner. We have the spices and staples to help you create a marvelous meal. Take a look at the pictures to see examples of what may be available.

Invite your friends, we have place settings for 12 people. Enjoy a bottle of specialized wine as a sample of our local wineries.

Sit down next to our gas fireplace (started with a push of a button on the remote control) and watch cable TV (Comcast with a voice controlled remote), DVD player, Netflix.

Do you need to work? Use the pop-up coffee table as your workstation, work next to the fireplace, plug your Iphone into the big screen TV And have a zoom meeting. We have the fastest wireless available on AT&T.

Did you come with an electric vehicle? Now you can charge your car in our garage with our charging station.

Going to the river? Use our blowup rafts and safety vests.
Are the kids bored? We have toys for both boys and girls aged from 1 to 12. A stroller for the toddler, pop-up crib, booster seat, and if we didn't think of it, give us a call, I'm sure we have something you can use.

For those who collect State and National Park quarters, you will find a large pile of quarters to sort through. I used to collect State quarters and was always frustrated because I could only find Denver Mint quarters. People on the East Coast would have the same problem, but could only fine Philadelphia quarters. Now you can go through a pile and take what you want and leave some for others to find! The quarters can be found in the coffee table. If you find the quarters, you learn the secret of the coffee table! It's really cool!

Kids bored? Have a Nerf war with 8 guns and hundreds of bullets. Or try to find the 20+ hidden treasures located around the house. Things like:
> An old man making bubbles in the bathtub.
> A fidget spinner.
> A heart shaped rock.
> Reading glasses with headlamps.
> A dog wearing glasses.
> A cat in a box.
> Blue eggs.
> Two doves kissing.

Bring the dog! We have a dog bed with doggy treats.

Casa de Gamay is located on the west side of Santa Rosa just a couple of miles from dozens of local specialized wineries. Take a walk in the Redwood trees of Armstrong Grove, just 30 minutes away. Visit our beautiful coast line.

If we haven't thought of your specific need, give us a call, we live only a 5 minute walk away from the house. It's important to us you have a great time here.

We make things easy with our keyless entry. We hope to see you soon.

AMAZING HOME AWAY FROM HOME!
We are a retired couple from Niagara-on-the-Lake (Ontario Canada) and stayed here for 18 days. We have rented many homes over the years and this one far exceeded all others. Many other reviews for this place document the extensive amenities, comfortable bedding/towels and well stocked high quality cooking utensils plus storage containers/wrap/foil. This home is as stocked as your own, if not even more - from panty/fridge food, appliances, to bathroom/medicine cabinet items, with multiple choices of brands. Great gas stove and gas BBQ. Super clean and decorated as a home versus a rental property with minimum décor. Larry and Wanda were super hosts and responsive to all our queries. We would definitely choose this place again when coming back to this California area. Truly a home away from home. Thank you Wanda and Larry.

Superb.
Clean, comfortable, fully stocked. Convenient location. Hosts very helpful when questions came up. We were here over Christmas and it had holiday decorations. The lasagna provided fed a last minute family Gathering. I’d happily stay again.

Perfect house and location!
This is the house of our dreams when we travel. It has everything you could possibly need, nice quiet mature neighborhood, beautiful and clean decor and stocked fridge and cabinets! I'm not sure what more you could ask for. We went to San Francisco from the Larkspur ferry, saw the redwoods in the Armstrong forest, etc., etc. Loved, loved it and can't wait to return soon.

When they said, this is your home away from home, it truly is! This was such a beautiful home with EVERYTHING we needed and more.

Spring Break treat
Had a great time! Had family over for dinner and they raved about the house. Everything you need is close and most of it already is available when you get to the house. Any issues are handled right away. Appreciated the goodies for guests when we arrived. Will definitely be looking to stay again in future.

Home away from home
When the hosts ask if there is anything they can do, they mean it. They were very communicative before my stay to insure we had everything we needed. The house is very clean and well cared for. The lots of ingredients and other kitchen/food items were stocked and we were welcomed to make free use of them. The house is very convenient for visiting the area and local shopping. It was the perfect place to stay for our visit!

Home away from home
We stayed here one night while attending a wedding down the road. It was SO much nicer than staying in a hotel. Clean, quiet, well kept home with everything we needed including coffee, cream and sugar - always a must have for us in the morning. Communications with Wanda and Larry were excellent and responsive. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Excellent home and excellent owners
A group of co-workers stayed here when we traveled to Santa Rosa for a 3 day training. Larry’s (owner) instructions were so helpful since we were all arriving at different times of the day. The house was fully stocked and had every convenience. All the beds were comfortable and we enjoyed vegging out in front of the living room fireplace after a long day of training. Even check-out was a breeze! Not your typical HomeAway! I will definitely stay here again. Thank you, Larry and Wanda! You made our stay so much more enjoyable.

Great Property!
We have stayed at many properties over the years and our experience at Casa de Gamay was by far the best. The unit was better than shown in the pictures and the description. The communications from Wanda and Larry were timely (always less than 24 hours) and very helpful. They even sent us pictures of the food stuffs in the pantry and refrigerator prior to our arrival so we knew what groceries to get, although we didn't need much because their kitchen was so well stocked. They even had wine and chocolates waiting for us when we arrived! Truly exceptional hosts!

The best place ever!
This beautiful home has literally everything you need, and then some. From the beautiful efficient décor, to the FULLY stocked frig and pantry and bathroom amenities--everything is perfect. Larry and Wanda are the consummate hosts, with a lovely home away from home to provide. From a wonderful kitchen with high quality pots and pans and everything you would ever need, to the bathrooms stocked with whatever you would need, this is by far, the best vacation rental you will ever stay in. It has a convenient location, a pretty backyard with privacy, and a lovely gas fireplace that kept us warm and toasty. Fully stocked DVD library, and great internet and TV access. Many thanks for another great mini reunion with our kids and grandkids--we celebrated in style at Casa de Gamay!

An Exceptional Property
The six of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in Jan. 2019. Larry and Wanda are great hosts and they've thought of everything to make your stay totally enjoyable. Including a bottle of wine, dark chocolate and toilets that light up in the dark when you walk in!! The kitchen is well equipped and stocked with scores of food items, including coffee for the drip coffee maker. Nice quiet neighborhood, with close driving distances to Kosta Browne and Merry Edwards wineries. Very, very clean and beautifully decorated. No surprises. Our highest recommendation is warranted here. Bill and Debbie L. Pittsburgh, PA

Fantastic, Immaculate House & Top Notch Hospitality
Thanks to Larry & Wanda’s thoughtfulness in equipping the house with just about everything a visitor might need, Casa de Gamay truly felt like it was our second home. We arrived quite late at night and were able to fix a wonderful meal with what was supplied in the pantry (including a bottle of wine!), fridge and freezer. Casa de Gamay easily handled our party of 5, with plenty of space to have our 4 friends over for dinner. The house is accommodating and spotless, with very comfortable beds. We enjoyed cozying up by the gas fireplace when the nights turned cool. The location is fantastic – nearby are grocery stores, restaurants & wineries. The owners were incredibly helpful and responsive when we had questions about the house and had suggestions of things to do in the area. We have rented many short term houses, and Casa de Gamay was hands down the best experience and house we have ever stayed in. Looking forward to our next visit.

Casa de Gamay
Excellent property in a very quiet residential neighborhood. You can tell the owners have traveled a lot since no detail was missed. Plenty of items in the kitchen from basics for cooking to snacks and seasonings. Beds are very comfortable and the sheets and pillows made for a relaxing sleep! We were there to visit our granddaughter who is a freshman at Sonoma State and this was a perfect place for a three day visit. Tuesday evening we had her and some roommates over for an early traditional thanksgiving dinner. Everyone loved it and enjoyed playing the scavenger hunt for items throughout the house.! It is also pet friendly and the owners had a bed waiting for our pooch. Really nice touch! Great place to stay and don't miss a dinner at Cibo Rustico Pizzeria. Great little italian restaurant in Santa Rosa. More than just pizza and has an extensive wine selection and beer. Beware, they are closed on Monday and Tuesday.

Perfect in every way
This home was everything one could ask for! Talk about a fully stocked kitchen--a FULL pantry and frig came with just about anything you could ask for. Top notch appliances and cookware--after all, this IS Sonoma County! The location is great--convenient to just about everything, and in a safe, quiet neighborhood. Ultra clean home, great comfortable beds, and quality toiletries in both bathrooms. A great gas fireplace that put out a lot of heat. Very pretty backyard--private and well maintained. Every comfort of home was provided--nothing to even think about. It's like the owners anticipated your every need. The lasagna and garlic bread (homemade!!) in the freezer was delicious. That, along with the wine and chocolate, was such a personal, extra touch. We will definitely be back when our travels take us to the area. This place offers big bang for the buck! And the owners could not have been more gracious and helpful. Can't wait to return!
