Stunning, Large, Beautifully Decorated Home in Downtown Lodi with Spa Amenities

Welcome to the Sideways House, named for its gracious entrance located on the side of the home, and a nod to the iconic movie that put wine tasting on the map. This stately home was built in 1926 and is perfectly located on one of "old" Lodi's most desirable tree-lined streets, and arguably the best VRBO for easy walking distance to tasting rooms, restaurants, theaters, parks and downtown.
This gorgeous home has been recently redecorated and lovingly brought back to her original grandeur. There is a large living room with beautiful, original molding, hardwood floors and grand windows. Ample comfortable seating is provided and a flatscreen TV, and fireplace will help you feel right at home. The living room opens up into a fun bar area that also provides access to the outside eating area. The beautiful, large dining room seats 8. The kitchen is well equipped with new appliances. (The home can be stocked with groceries if so desired) A cute, sunny kitchen eating area welcomes you in and offers a wonderful view of the large yard, fish pond and bocce court.

There are four beautifully appointed bedrooms which accommodate up to eight guests. Fine linens, down comforters (Non down bedding may be requested), robes and comfortable beds await you. Each bedroom has a television, IHome alarm clock, luggage rack and at least two windows in each bedroom to let in the cool breeze or warm sunshine.
The blue bedroom - California king bed

The red room - Queen bed.

The coral room - Full bed

The yellow room - Twin with trundle

There are two well appointed bathrooms with plenty of towels and other comforts to make your stay perfect. The upstairs bathroom has a bath and shower, granite counter tops and glass tile accents. The downstairs bathroom has a huge shower with bench, a rain shower faucet and other faucet features,

A washer and dryer are available along with laundry pods.

The backyard is park like and tranquil with an outside eating area with BBQ and bocce court, beautiful landscaping and a fish pond. The backyard also shares access to Perfect Balance Day Spa's Hideaway for all your pampering needs. Discounts for spa treatments booked while staying at the Sideways House are available.

Wonderful location with a thoughtful host

The house is beautiful. It has a wonderful location. The only drawback is that the backyard is the entrance to the day spa which means there is a lot of traffic and people walking through but the thoughtfulness of the host and the location and set up at the house, made it worth it.

Amazing place and location

Came here for a get away with a group of friends who I've know for over 40 years, we each had our own comfortable room, there was so much great socializing space, the house is beautiful and the location is so great--quiet yet close to lots of restaurants etc. We were greeted with a homemade cake, strawberries and wine, and the kitchen is so well stocked with everything. The check in and out was super easy and smooth. Lodi is a lovely town. My friends and I all loved it!

Wonderful welcoming house

My family stayed for a long weekend. We love the location- being able to walk to the science museum, bookstore, restaurants, park were all amazing! There was a charger a block away where we were able to top off our car before heading home. The house itself is very comfortable and clearly a lot of thought and care have gone into making it welcoming for visitors. Our hostess, Lisa, was friendly & accommodating. We would absolutely stay here again & would recommend the house to anyone looking. To any parents: I forgot to grab a sound machine for my 4yo & while the house does creak there was little to no street noise & she slept through the night.

The sideways home is a beautiful, charming home. The well shaded backyard was perfect for summer evening barbecues. It appears that the building has recently been updated and the kitchen has modern appliances.Also, the property is within easy, walking distance to downtown.

Fabulous home, location, and host. Lisa was amazing and so accommodating with her recommendations, special touches and responses to our questions and requests. We had an amazing time celebrating a birthday in most part to this amazing home and it’s host, We definitely plan to revisit this property.

Easy to live in with family of 8 adults. Spacious and well appointed.

Beautiful home and neighborhood. We have an annual adult only family getaway and this home fit us perfectly! We used the large dining table, kitchen, bbq, living room and bar non stop. Having a nook off kitchen gave us extra space for a "snack table". The exclusive bar gave us space for all the drinks. Living room was comfortable and spacious AND had a gas fireplace - lovely. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms had all the amenities needed.
