Escape the chaos of the city and enter an idyllic world of croaking frogs and chirping birds.  Spend a weekend at this spacious 4 bedroom (1 king, 2 queens, 1 double/full, 3 twins and 1 trundle), 3 bathroom house nestled among 6+ acres of towering oaks, sculpted roses, abundant lavender and rolling vineyards.  The black-bottom pool is solar-heated and the hot tub can accommodate up to eight (friendly) people.  The playroom has a pool table, foosball, air hockey, a plasma-screen television with karaoke and 4 additional twin beds.  The outdoor pavilion provides cooling shade in summer and has its own fireplace and grill.  You can play badminton, croquet, volleyball and, after June, tennis.  If the choices are too daunting, you may choose to simply lose yourself in the sea of vines, trees and sky which stretch out before you in a brilliant painterly landscape.  You will run out of time before you run out of pleasurable ways to while away the day.

The perfect get-away for a couple of families any time of year, the house is located on Chalk Hill Road in Healdsburg, the heart of the Sonoma wine country.
