Great Centrally Located Rental

We were in town for a family wedding. Jenny's place was perfect - we loved the easy to get to location, great neighborhood for morning walks, comfy beds, 2 bathrooms and the covered porch for watching the rain. Jenny had so many little touches - our favorites were the games, snacks, and candles!

Great location in a quiet neighborhood

We attended a family wedding in Kenwood at BR Cohn Winery and this house was perfect. Located very close to downtown Sonoma for some fun wine tasting and great lunches and dinners. The house was in an extremely quiet neighborhood, was very well stocked with everything we needed and very comfortable for the 4 of us. Jenny is a very responsive and attentive host.

Perfect stay

A group of friends (one with an infant) came to stay here for the Napa to Sonoma half marathon. Jenny’s place was the perfect home for our needs. It was quiet but conveniently located to downtown Sonoma and wineries. She was incredibly responsive and did everything to make our stay top notch. She even had a bag of toys for the baby and a pack and play. We highly recommend this stay for your next visit to Sonoma.

Quiet Location

This 3BR/2BA is only several minutes drive from the plaza in a quiet neighborhood. The older home has been significantly updated and was a great spot to relax after a busy day visiting wineries. Definitely recommend and would stay here again. The rate was reasonable for just the two of us. But be advised that after 4 occupants, a hefty $50/person/night fee kicks in.

Nice, quite and serene place for family and friends. Very clean and Cozy.

We enjoyed our stay at Jenny’s house. She is an excellent host; friendly, cheerful and goes out of the way to ensure that our stay is comfortable. Loved her backyard, tall beautiful trees and enough space for small groups . Our granddaughter loved spending time in the backyard. Would love to visit again. Shuba and Kumar.😍
