Sonoma 14Acres, 3BR 3BA, Pool HotTub, Plaza 3 mi.

Expansive grounds, well-appointed living spaces, and privacy make our property a spectacular retreat for friends and family to gather in the heart of Sonoma wine country. This pastoral estate offers a modern aesthetic with a zen-like tranquility, just a one-hour drive from San Francisco. We offer the private guest house, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and common area for our guests to share quality time together.

Contemporary chic meets country charm, with designer upgrades and unique touches within each interior living space. A gated entry grants guests access to 14 acres of delightful grounds nestled in a peaceful glen filled with lawns, gardens, live oak and olive trees, and views of nearby wooded hills, as well as ample parking. A sun-splashed outdoor living area offers guests a chance to both swim in a large pool and enjoy lounging in one of the many chaise-lounges or cushioned chairs. The solar-heated pool is typically a comfortable water temperature only from late May to late Sept., depending on weather. During the other months, we offer propane gas heating to 86 degrees for your entire stay for an additional $500 (if interested, we require at least 7 business days advance notice and upfront payment). This space is also equipped with a six-seat hot tub, outdoor kitchen (including gas grill, sink, and undercounter refrigerator), outdoor heated shower, gas fire table, patio gas heater, sofas, large dining table, and a stunning shaded pergola to make every gathering a truly idyllic experience. Wood decks complete the ultimate luxury getaway on this private country estate.

Our property is ideally located in the exclusive eastern foothills of Sonoma, just 3.5 miles from the vibrant 8-acre Sonoma Plaza that defines Sonoma’s town center and where visitors and locals alike enjoy historic sites, fine dining, tasting rooms, a farmers market, shopping, and community events. You will be surrounded by the charms of Sonoma’s rustic yet refined locale featuring bucolic scenery, mission-era history, and world-class wines. Gundlach Bundschu, Buena Vista, and other wineries are only a scenic 10-minute drive away. In addition, the towns of Glen Ellen, Kenwood, and Napa are within 15 miles of the property. Local hiking and biking opportunities for all levels abound.

NO ADDITIONAL GUESTS not disclosed on the reservation.

NO EARLY CHECK-IN before 4:00, as we know from experience that guests will not be satisfied with less cleaning for an earlier check-in time.

NO DISCOUNTS can be offered since we believe our property is priced appropriately for the amenities that we provide.

You will enjoy the entire guest house for your private use. The owners may use an additional detached structure when unavoidable, but generally do not occupy the property while guests are staying. We never rent to more than one party at a time, so your group will have exclusive access to the pool area and grounds.
