About this property

Beautiful Wine Country Retreat w/ New Pool & Kitchen, Game Room Barn & Views!

My home is perfect for a family, 2-3 couples, or a friends
getaway to celebrate a birthday, wedding, bachelorette party, anniversary or other special occasion!

A short 5 minute drive from downtown Sonoma, this home is located in the coveted east side of town and
centrally located to many wineries in both Napa and Sonoma. The home was purchased and completely refurnished in 2012 with new beds, appliances, sofas, furniture, etc. including a remodeled barn for entertainment, new flagstone patio, pergola, new hardwood floors, and freshly painted bedrooms. We recently completely renovated in 2017 the kitchen and bathroom and pool! The new kitchen is well-equipped with pots, pans, serving platters, dishes, etc. Both bathrooms include walk-in showers. There's a large flat screen TV in the living room, flat screen in the master, and Blueray/DVD player in the living room with cable service including HBO. There's also WiFi (Wireless Internet) and a Sonos stereo system that allows you to control music from your phone or laptop and has two separate music areas (1 inside and 1 outside by the pool). The barn is recently remodeled and is outfitted with ping pong, darts, a pool table, foosball, stereo, and sofa. We have a blast out there!

Walking into the front door you'll immediately notice the openness of the floor plan, with a kitchen that opens up to the large living room that flows into the spacious dining room, making for a 'great room' for entertaining. The outdoor pool and patio is located off of the dining room and is equipped with a dining table, lounge chairs, a pergola for shade, and a festive string of outdoor lights set on a dimmer, perfect for eating, relaxing and entertaining. There is a second deck with a brand new hot tub (2014) and outdoor speakers. The gorgeous views from the outdoor area are towards the west and north (primarily to the west) with open fields, vineyards, a horse ranch and
mountains in the distance. The 3 bedrooms are located on the other side of the house, comprised of a master bedroom with king bed, tv, private bath (incl. walk-in shower), and private deck, and two guest rooms both
with queen beds that share a full (new) bathroom.

Sonoma Getaway

Seth's place is perfect for a family gathering. The home is clean and well appointed with plenty of space inside and outside for our group of 8. Plenty of kitchen supplies for us to prepare a Thanksgiving feast. Washer and dryer, and outdoor grill were a big plus. The barn was a hit with everyone, and we spent hours playing ping pong, billiards, darts, and foosball. Location was great, with easy access to Sonoma Square. Less than 30 min drives to Napa, Yountville, St. Helena, and Petaluma, and about an hour drive to Bodega Bay. Very good communication with Seth, and Patrick the neighbor who helps oversee the property. We did not use the hot tub (initially not functional due to recent heavy rains, but fixed halfway through our stay), or the pool (too cold). Small unpaved road access to the house is very tricky to find at first, especially coming in from Napa. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great location, great game barn

This home was great for our 3 couple trip to Sonoma. Perfect location and lots to do at the home with the game barn and hot tub. Pros: large kitchen, living room and entertaining space. Great location for our Sonoma wine tour. Cons: hot tub needs some repair and deep cleaning. Towels could be replaced. Game barn needs a cleaning.

Sonoma Sanctuary

This house was very comfortable and well appointed. We had everything we needed and everything worked well, from the bikes, to the pool, and the outdoor grill. It felt very private, yet close to downtown Sonoma and many wineries. We appreciated all the “dos and don’ts” in the house book, as well as all the great suggestions. The pool was especially nice and inviting since we had 4+ days of 100” weather! Seth was particularly kind and patient, and responded promptly to our questions about the TV. The barn looked quite fun, but frankly it was too hot to really use it. We would definitely stay here again!

Great family vacation rental!

Sonoma is always a great time with our adult family. This property has great indoor and outdoor spaces. Used the pool and hot tub every day plus the kitchen, bedrooms, dinning room, and family rooms gave us plenty of space. Patrick, the property manager was super helpful when we had a hot tub issue.

A beautiful property in a perfect location. Excellent communication from the owner and property manager. Everything was clean and in perfect condition. Would definitely recommend and return to this property again. Last time we visited, we stayed in Napa, but I now feel that this is a better location. Just minutes away from Sonoma Square.

Close and convenient to all things in Sonoma

Entry to this property is off a busy road leading to a shared, gravel drive with speedbumps and lots of "go slow" signage installed by the 5+ neighbors/homes that share the drive. Kitchen/living/dining areas are recently remodeled with a nice wood burning fireplace. Owners were very responsive to our suggestions and request, house/kitchen were nicely equipped and the home was close to everything. We would stay here again!

Conveniently located and the property is lovely. Very comfortable. Place could use a few more inexpensive amenities such as shampoo, conditioner and shower gel along with some basic kitchen needs like tin foil and plastic wrap.

Outstanding!

The place was very clean and very accommodating. We had one couple and two individuals. The place was perfect. The pool looked great but was too cold during fall. The hot tub worked and we had fun after a day of wine tasting. We cooked our thanksgiving diner and had an amazing time. The barn is so cool as well - it has a pool table, ping pong table, darts, etc. Would definitely stay again.

Girls weekend

We are a group of 5 lifelong friends who meet every year to catch up! This house was the most perfect location! Very comfortable atmosphere and the house was well stocked. Furniture and beds all very comfortable. One night we cooked/bbq’d and sat outside in the beautiful yard. We enjoyed the hot tub and game barn as well. Took some time to shop at the square and did wine tasting at Gun-Bun which was so close. There is something for everybody. Thank you Seth and Patrick for having us. We already can’t wait to return. Many fun memories made.

Slightly disappointed

We really loved the location of the house. Had everything we needed , the king bed was so comfortable. Only little bump in the road was the pool and the hot tub wasn’t as clean as it should have been. Neither had been cleaned prior to our arrival. Rented property because of these amenities, was very disappointed they were not clean. I did reach out to owner and property manager, owner never did respond. Property manager did come and clean pool but was not cleaned properly, so still dirty. Hot tub was so cloudy and also had sand in it. That was our only complaint, otherwise it was a wonderful vacation.

Excellent Experience in Sonoma

We could not have been more thrilled with our stay in Sonoma. The house was perfect - Quiet and private lane with a beautiful and peaceful setting. Spectacular kitchen, fully loaded with everything you would need. Bedrooms were nice sized, comfortable mattresses and excellent bathrooms. The best part overall though was the pool and property - Great escape after exploring wineries and towns throughout our stay - Whether the pool or hot tub, we enjoyed relaxing in the afternoon. We also had a chance to visit the barn one night - Totally fun experience. We will look to return again! Seth and his property Manager Patrick could not have been more accommodating and so fast with their communication. A must for anyone traveling to Sonoma (or lower Napa!)
