Wedding weekend stay

Great place to stay for family wedding we were attending. Very close to a park for our grandkids. Close enough to walk to downtown for coffee in the mornings. We were welcomed with snacks and beautiful flowers! Charming older bungalow home.

Perfect in the Downtown!

We rented this home for a Church choir that played at our Youth Retreat for the weekend. They loved how close it was to the church, the downtown and eateries. Would definitely book again!

Lodi Vacay

The hosts were great with communication and very helpful with suggestions for restaurants and activities. The house was a very spacious and unique older home with a well equipped kitchen. The outdoor patio was a wonderful space and we even had a fire one night. The only negative was the odor in the house when we first got there…it was completely closed up and had a very pungent musty smell. It improved with opening up the house and getting fresh air in. Overall,the house met our needs with our favorite spot being the outdoor patio.

A terrific find!

We have been able to come together in this beautiful historic home the past 2 years to celebrate my mom's birthday. The hosts are fantastic and accommodating.

Incredibly charming 100 year old home!

Maurie's home has been lovingly restored to its grandeur & the bedrooms are super cozy upstairs. Walkability is ideal. Backyard is huge! Very spacious for a large (or small!) group with room for everyone. Delighted to have stayed in a piece of history.

Merlot House

We had an excellent stay. The house is in a great location close to downtown Lodi. We were in town for graduation and the back yard made a great location for our family to hang out together. I would highly recommend

Little touches

Little touches like fresh flowers, a bottle of Lodi zin, snacks and decorative pumpkins and gourds were so thoughtful and appreciated. It was lovely spending time out back at the table under the trees. Kitchen was immaculate and totally adequate.

Nice house with a big yard

The house was very nice. It worked out for our group who was in town for a sports tournament, and it was great for our dog with a large, fully fenced yard. The neighborhood is very nice to walk through and there is a great bakery about two blocks away that we walked to every morning. The only drawback there was that there tends to be a fair amount of loud traffic, IE big diesel pickups so if you are a very light sleeper make sure to bring ear plugs. But it was definitely not an all night long thing. The house is older so the configuration is a little dated, with just one upstairs bathroom where all the bedrooms are. But it was very clean and organized, lots of towels in all the bags and kitchen. The backyard has a really nice seating area with gas and charcoal grill to choose from.

Perfect Location - Best Backyard

This house is perfect for those who want the flavor of downtown Lodi, and also would like to relax in a quiet and beautiful garden. There is a park across the street for families, and the house is perfectly equipped. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs. The office can be a 4th. and it is downstairs.

a wonderful stay

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Merlot Bungalow. Beautifully and comfortably furnished with everything you could possibly need. Our family group of 8 had plenty of room to relax and reconnect. The downstairs den/bedroom with attached bath was especially handy for one with mobility challenges. Relaxing oasis in the backyard. This home is wonderfully restored with all the quirks of an older home intact. Yes, the street traffic can be noisy, but the location is perfect. Terrific hosts and the welcome wine and cheese gave us a delicious start! We only wish we could have stayed longer.

Lovely property. Both charming and spacious. Kitchen is well appointed minus a toaster. Bedrooms are large and comfortable. Well appointed with good furniture suitable to age of house. A/C runs well which is needed in hot summer months. It would be more efficient if the small gaps were sealed around all windows. My biggest complaints are superficial:1 toilet paper provided is cheap and thin. Bring your own and problem solved. 2 it's across from a park that was busy all day. We enjoyed the noise of kids playing but i know not everyone does3 its in a corner of a fairly busy intersection with 4 way stop. Noise level with cars was moderate to high at times, as people loved to play their bass music super loud when driving, and remember it's a 4 way stop so often times it rattled windows whie waiting theiir turn thru intersection. I really wish I knew the history of the house given how large the propery is for the time it was built. Yard is large, shaded and has lots of seating! Beautiful property!

Our Big Fat Italian Wedding!

This very special home in downtown Lodi helped make our son's nearby winery wedding a big success. It was so nice to have a home base where family and friends could pop in and visit and the bridal party could get ready for the big day. We even had a fabulously casual rehearsal dinner under the lighted trees in the back yard. The owners were happy to accommodate our needs for additional tables and chairs and make sure everything was perfect. The home is spacious and everyone had plenty of privacy. The bedrooms were quaint and clean and comfy. Overall it was wonderful.

Girls Wine Tasting Weekend!

This was a perfect house to stage my wedding engagement celebration with a few of my closest girlfriends to have brunch, enjoy a day of wine tasting around Lodi, order Guantonio's for dinner, and play card games. Many memories, laughs, and stories of the weekend were all encased in this great house, which we couldn't stop exploring and wondering about the time when it was built. So many historical elements of interest and character while having the functionality of modern day amenities. And the kitchen items, including knives, dishes, and cutting boards, were of quality. So often VRBO's have cheap kitchenware. This house had a fully stocked kitchen that fit all of our serving needs. We won't hesitate to stay here again when our needs find us in Lodi!

Lovingly restored craftsman is perfect for a holiday family gathering

Just entering the house and admiring all the craftsman details is a delight. Plenty of space for a family to spread out. The kitchen is roomy and well stocked - pots, pans, and room for 2-3 cooks plus a breakfast nook for family members who want to observe and chat. Lovely location in town.The downtown area is walkable and the grocery stores for last minute food runs are a 5 minute drive.

Great place for a group

We were three small families and had plenty of room for everyone. There are several downstairs gathering rooms along with a large dining room and a fully stocked kitchen. It’s a lovely neighborhood and parking was easy. The Internet was spotty but we didn’t ask for any help so maybe that could’ve been fixed. The clean up/check out process was minimal which we appreciated.

Maurie and

Maurie and Keith were lovely hosts, and they shared some terrific recommendations on the local scene when we arrived. Merlot Bungalow is cozy and well located with all the comforts of home. Excellent location and comfortable home. Street/train noise was a little louder than expected but some white noise machines took care of it. Great find!

Lovely home in downtown Lodi!

We enjoyed our stay at Merlot Bungalow very much. Traffic was little busy at this corner of downtown, but with the air conditioning running, it helped to baffle some of the sound during the evening hours. We particularly enjoyed all of the beautiful antiques inside and the patio outside at night. We will definitely look at Merlot Bungalow for our next visit to Lodi.
