Beautiful spot for a family gathering
Kara’s place is beautiful! Situated in the hills with gorgeous views. Better than the pictures. The big kitchen was great for multiple cooks putting together Thanksgiving dinner. We loved congregating on the deck with a glass of wine and played a few rounds of ping pong. Bathrooms are modern and well kept and bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The Bartholomew Estate hike is only 10 mins away, restaurants and groceries are less than 15 mins. Great location! We hope to return!

Great Stay
We had a great time at this hillside retreat with our family of four. It is nice, private, and quite, and not far from the Sonoma downtown and nearby wineries. The house, the grounds, and the pool are clean and well managed. Checkin and checkout was a breeze and the host looks after the place and her guests very thoughtfully. We would stay here again.

Wonderful Getaway!
We had a great weeklong getaway from the Bay Area fog. This house is great with all the amenities we needed! The pool and canyon views were just perfect! The mattresses were very comfy. We enjoyed cycling and running and the quick drives to the Plaza for shopping, the farmers markets, and restaurants. Kara was very responsive and helpful! Highly recommend!

Secluded hideaway
The house and property is nice. The pool area and view is very pretty. We enjoyed that it had a pickle ball court. The kitchen was great for those that like to cook! It is not far from downtown Sonoma and the wineries all over. In the description, it does say a twin futon in the living room, which we found was not the case. It was a folded up pad in a closet. Not what I considered a futon. Overall, the house was a good place to stay for the weekend.

Idyllic wine country home
Stayed here with my children and husband to celebrate a graduation, spend some family time and enjoy some wine. The house is located a few minutes from Sonoma and close to Napa , but feels like it’s miles from anywhere. Perched at the top of a hill, views of the valley below, deer, birds, quiet, trees- blissful. The house is very beautifully decorated with character- it’s a home, not a sterile ‘vrbo’ vibe. Bathrooms and kitchen are modern and gorgeous, and the rest if the house is lovely. Super comfy beds, spacious rooms, ample towels and supplies. The pool is lovely and there are outdoor toys like cornhole. We really enjoyed it, were comfortable and private, and would stay again in a minute. Lovely!

Amazing Escape & Getaway
This property is AMAZINGLY beautiful. The house is extremely cozy and has everything you could possibly need for any occasion or event! From the interior decor to the amazing mountainous view the property is completely breathtaking.! The minute you turn off the main road to get to the property relaxation sets in. Words alone will not do justice for what all this house has to offer. . The location is 5 mins from town and there is the cutest little coffee/merchandise shop not far from the house but off the main road. Kara is wonderful and was available for any questions or concerns we had! We plan on taking my son next year for his 30th birthday I can only hope this property will be available. This is where I’ll stay anytime I visit Sonoma, Napa or Santa Rosa!

Excellent Getaway Property in Sonoma
We have rented many homes in Sonoma and this one is terrific. We had a group of 6 family friends over the July 4th holiday. We arrived to a well-prepared home with all that we could need in the kitchen, bath and pool areas. Lots of towels, kitchen gadgets & some pool toys. The home is large enough to spread out, and perfect for a weekend or extended vacation. The setting is on a hilltop and is very private. We spent time in the pool & cabana, played ping pong and games, drove to town for wine tasting and bike riding. The effective air conditioning was a bonus for a super hot weekend. The property manager/owner was very responsive on the reservation, and we didn't need a thing while we were there. Thanks, Kara. We'll be back.

Serenity and scenic splendor...
I chose this property for a trip to Sonoma primarily based on the photos of the property surrounding the home...and it far exceeded the beauty and peacefulness depicted in the photos! Such a wonderful and peaceful escape...literally surrounded by the delightful sounds of nature! The house also was perfect. It was scrupulously clean and very comfortable, and had everything that we could want or need for our week-long stay. Kara was such a gracious host...and responded instantly to any questions that I had before and after booking. It is a bit of a trek up the hill to obtain those beautiful views...and we were glad to do it before dark on arrival after a very long drive. But it is sooooo worth it...for the beauty and peace that will welcome you!!! And this is all literally within minutes of the Sonoma Square! We LOVED our time in this beautiful home and slice of nature!

Great house for wine country!
This home was awesome. It was much bigger than we expected. The outdoor area was great, and the home was clean upon arrival. If you're planning to Uber/Lyft just give yourself about 30 minutes to book one. They would often cancel and there weren't a lot available.

A six-star experience
This is a beautiful property, nestled into a scenic hillside three miles from the center of Sonoma. It was squeaky clean, smartly designed and extremely comfortable, with every amenity one could reasonably imagine. Our host, Kara, was very friendly and responsive. All in all, if I could give it six stars, I would.
