The online description was accurate. Served as a nice base for exploring Sonoma County west of the 101. Very relaxed feel. Fun to see all of the farm animals on the surrounding properties.
Bask House is an absolutely lovely get-away. Our family of three had plenty of room to lounge about and enjoy the beautiful green views during rainy daysâand it was a perfect distance away from plenty to do between the rains. Easy trips to downtown Sebastopol, Bodega Bay, and Santa Rosa for yummy food, gorgeous hikes, and novel adventures (like Safari West and visiting Patrick Amiotâs art on Florence Ave). And we canât leave a review without mentioning the fresh eggs from the chickens that call Bask home. So delicious! Weâd planned to go out for breakfast during our stay but decided to stay in for eggs everyday! Jess is a warm and welcoming host. We look forward to coming back when the weather forecast has more sun!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage in Wine country! What a perfect getaway with all the amenities you need. We didnât even leave the house for two days! Our host, Jess, was amazing and her attention to detail is five star. We will definitely be back!
If youâre looking for real hospitality in its true meaning, the Bask House is where you can find it, without doubt. Having had many experiences, I have to say that this was one of the best places weâve stayed at.
The house was beautifully decorated and maintained, so comfortable and clean; crisp bedding and comfortable mattresses, tastefully decorated and with many thoughtful touches, that show how much the hosts care about their guestsâ comfort. Everyone slept comfortably, the beds and bathroom were perfect for our needs, and we utilized the kitchen to cook the best sunny side up eggs for breakfast.
Jess was an excellent host, available for any questions, and so generous with the recommendations for places to eat, and things to see, and all of them were spot on! She treated us with the most delicious homemade chocolates, fresh eggs, freshly ground coffee, and tasty peaches.
It was the best mix of relaxation and privacy, yet being close to so many activities and areas to enjoy the beauty of Sonoma Valley. The hot tub was very useful too after a full day of exploring the area.
So many details were poured into our staying experience that it made it absolutely hard to say goodbye.
Beautiful place! Wonderful experience! Thank you Jess for sharing with us your slice of paradise!
