My family booked this property for a week starting Dec 8. Four days before our trip, the host (who is based in London) notified us that the main road to the house was closed due to a mudslide and that this would only add "13 extra minutes to Glen Ellen and 20 extra minutes to Sonoma." This information was inaccurate as it actually takes over 40 min just to get from the house to the main road alone and the road is extremely curvy and steep. The host said he had just found out about the road closure when he told us on December 3, which makes the review dated December 8 confusing. Public records show the mudslide took place on Nov 22, so why did the host not inform us of the road issue if his other guests had known about this? We planned our stay based on the host's description of the house, being 20 minutes from nearby restaurants and wineries. Due to the length of time and extreme difficulty getting to and from the home, requiring a drive up and then back down the mountain, on a single lane road, we had no choice but to find a different home for our vacation. Had the host been transparent and honest with us, we would never have made a final payment, nor would we have wasted 2 days of our vacation finding and moving to a new property that was actually 20 minutes from town. The host eventually reimbursed us for 57% of our stay but only after we contacted VRBO and initiated a dispute. This house has nice views, but the host is difficult to work with, the house is isolated
