About this property

Two Charming Houses for One Incredible Getaway!

Welcome to Bungalow Twins in Glen Ellen, just a short drive from local wineries and restaurants. Bungalow Twins is a chic and stylish sanctuary perched up a private road. Each bungalow has unique touches yet is similar in design and amenities. ‍

What We Love About This Home 
The two bungalows are separated from each other by a wonderful yard featuring a large swimming pool and patio area, indoor/outdoor eating areas, a textured expanse of xeriscape gardens and shady heritage Oaks. Well manicured paths connect the two separate homes.‍

Much of the entertaining and socializing will likely take place under the steel-beam and wood-framed outdoor living area by the pool. This minimalist and elegant space houses a full living room suite, formal dining for 12 and a complete set of outdoor dinner wear in a modern metal hutch. Warmed by infrared heaters, this open air pavilion is welcoming throughout the year.‍‍

Bungalow One Details
With a wall of glass panel doors, this bungalow opens directly to the Pavilion. A fully-equipped chef’s kitchen with island seating looks onto the living area with a gas fireplace and rustic, wood tiled wall. A Thermador gas range and industrial grade appliances make cooking a dream. High ceilings, recessed lighting and skylights brighten this space while honey-colored wood floors add warmth. A large flat screen TV and bookshelves (stocked with original screenplays!) offer entertainment options within the serene layout.‍

The primary suite with King bed enjoys a private, covered patio with forest views. There is a stall shower and deep soaking tub overlooking the countryside in the exquisitely tiled primary bath. Separated by sliding barn doors, space is maximized to create a generous bath with dual vanities. There is an American Leather Queen sofa bed in the living area.‍

Bungalow Two Details
Separated by concrete walkways and tall dry grasses shaded by oak and manzanita, Bungalow Two is another study in modern, rustic design with wide plank wood floors, white walls and sleek modern furniture. Top-sliding barn doors and pitched ceilings add to the spacious feel in the living/kitchen area. A butcher-block center island offers casual dining for 4. There is a Bosch gas stove top, retro-style refrigerator and top-grade stainless steel dishwasher, and the kitchen is fully stocked for cooking! (Note: There is no oven in Bungalow Two.)‍

The primary bedroom has a queen bed and private door to the spacious bathroom. A floating dual vanity and the large walk-in shower add to the clean, spa-like ambiance of the bath.‍

There is a large, flat screen TV and American Leather Queen sofa bed in the living area. A generous, covered porch with seating provides a warm welcome for guests or a place to enjoy wine country evenings and views of the Mayacama mountains.‍

Guests staying at Bungalow Twins will enjoy access to BeautifulPlaces pre-arrival assistance. Our local staff can assist with pre-trip suggestions for winery visits, private chef dinners and any other special experiences you desire.  On arrival day you’ll find a bottle of local wine and gourmet coffee waiting for you in your villa, and our team is available during your stay to answer any questions you have.‍

Perfect Wine Country Retreat!

My husband and I along with another couple spent five nights at this gorgeous property. Tucked away in the trees, it was a perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. Great location and proximity to top-notch restaurants and wineries. The kitchen was also very well appointed and communication with the management company was really easy. We will definitely book again!

Peace and perfection

I think this was the only stay of many where we never had to text the host and ask questions about how something worked or where something was. The pool and landscaping are impeccable. Never a sight or sound of any neighbors. Quiet and peaceful. The pool was super warm (probably due to the weather) just they way we like it. The hot tub heated up in 10 minutes. Very well stocked kitchen and thank you for cable TV (the occasional game was great to enjoy). We look forward to our return already. Book without hesitation.

Easy living pool and patio

Fantastic pool, patio and kitchen combination for afternoon and evening entertainment. Out for the day then relax and enjoy the ease of apps and dinner by the pool. Moon and nature complment the property. So great!

Perfect Getaway

The only way this could have been a better experience is if it were warm enough to enjoy the pool. The photos don't convey the beauty of this property. The layout is perfect for two couples who enjoy each other's company, but would prefer separate living quarters. Everything is new, modern and clean. You feel like you're in the middle of the country, but are just a short walk into town. Can't wait to return!

Amazing get away, but...

If you're looking for a very private get away, this is the place for you! My family loved it. Immediately upon arrival, we felt like we had entered our own private oasis. The trees surrounding the property made us feel like we had no neighbors. The bungalows were extremely well supplied with multiples of everything you could think of. The layout of everything - furniture, pool, trees, paths, lights, etc - was very well thought out. The only issue we had was with the pool. The house book told us to expect the pool maintenance on Wednesday and that we should enjoy the property while that was happening. However, not being pool owners ourselves, we assumed it would be a 30-45 min interruption. It actually turned out to be a 3 hour ban on the pool. It would have been nice to be aware of that beforehand so that we could plan to be out during that time. We made do. But the troubling thing was that the day after the pool maintenance person came another pool technician came and turned off the pool for another 3 hours without warning or speaking to us about it. He just walked onto the property, saw us inside the bungalow, walked to the pool controls and did whatever it was he was there to do and left before we had a chance to approach him. The only reason we found out that the pool was off was when we went to turn it on, the controls were locked for the next three hours. We had paid extra to have the pool heated since we weren't sure how warm the weather would be. So, to have the pool (our main reason for staying here) be inaccessible to us for 6 hours of prime pool time was upsetting, to say the least. So, for anyone who expects to rent this house and just relax in the pool - the pool technicians may have another idea. Other than that, we absolutely loved this place.

Resort Style Experience

These bungalows are dialed in! The kitchen is stocked with great cookware/serving pieces. The pool is gorgeous and the hot tub heats up fast. The outdoor heat lamps make the patio truly an outdoor living room. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful and Peaceful Property

This property makes you feel as if you are the only people in Glen Ellen, yet you are two minutes away from a great grocery store, bakery, and multiple restaurants. Two couples are able to split up into their own bungalow while sharing the common pool, dining area, and lounge area. Use the speaker and enjoy a nice day by the pool, and then open the sliding glass door and grill out at night. You will not be disappointed. While two appliances did not work upon our arrival, the maintenance staff was able to visit us over the fourth of July weekend to get things back in order, and we greatly appreciated it. Our trip benefited from having a home this welcoming to return to each night.
