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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
