About this property

Private Enclave within Walking Distance of Plaza 5 Bedrooms /5 1/2 Bathrooms

Imagine a private enclave within a short walk to the town of Sonoma, where your vista is lush hills and old oak trees. This casual wine country property is all about enjoying what Sonoma has to offer plus privacy, privacy, privacy. Located just a few blocks from the Historic Town Plaza, this large, secluded property, in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country, will provide your group with everything you need to make your stay wonderful, relaxing, and memorable.

Exterior
As you pass through the tall rock wall and old wooden doors you will immediately understand how special this property is and be transformed into serenity. Two sides of the property have high rock and wood walls that separate you from any viewers and provide you the privacy. The other two sides of the property are part of the Sonoma Open Space area. The gardens are planted with native plants like rosemary, lavender, heritage olive trees, flowering vines and populated with beautiful old oak trees. Just past the entrance, in the large landscaped front area of the property, there is a heated dipping pool and outside seating area. As you move through the pathway to the house there are multiple areas to explore and enjoy as well as places to sit and relax on the veranda porch or within the stone and plant landscapes. At the back of the property the patio area is a great place to grill and sit down for dinner or enjoy a glass of wine or morning coffee and view the local hills. There is easy access to the kitchen from this area through huge sliding doors. You get a general feeling of indoor/outdoor living. Also, in this area there is a crystal clean hot tub.

Interior – Main House
The foundation of the main house, which once belonged to General Vallejo, who was one of the largest landowners in California, was built in 1837. However, the entire house has been beautifully, and painstaking remodeled in the last few years and brought back to its original style, with all the updates and comforts we have become accustomed to expecting. Every window in the house opens and offers views of the property and the surrounding hills.
There are three bedrooms in the main house. The two downstairs queen bedrooms have in-suite bathrooms, yet the bedrooms are far enough away from each other to offer privacy. The third bedroom is an upstairs king with an in-suite and working fireplace. The views from this room are of the entire property.

The large dining room can easily seat 10+ people and has all the dishes and cutlery and wine glasses you will need to serve your group. The large professional kitchen, with top-of-the-line appliances, is equipped with everything your group will need to show off their culinary skills. Or, if you feel so inclined, use our recommended chefs, and enjoy food prepared from fresh locally grown ingredients and great Sonoma wines. The main living room, decorated with comfortable antique and period pieces, has a working fireplace and a flat screen cable TV.

Guest Cottages (2)
Secluded and private studios, within a few steps from the main house, have great views and outside sitting areas. Each cottage, one with a queen and one with a king bed, has full bathrooms and kitchenettes with a microwave, refrigerator, sink and coffee maker.

Sonoma Style
With the lively town of Sonoma just moments away, you can experience the best of what wine country has to offer in your own private getaway. Walk to the Plaza, enjoy the old adobe storefronts, meandering alleyways, historic landmarks, acclaimed restaurants, and wine tasting rooms, spas, cafes, boutiques, art galleries, a vintage movie theater, vast town square lawn with picnic, playground equipment and the Tuesday night seasonal farmers market.
After enjoying the day in Sonoma, visiting the wineries, hiking the scenic trails (trail head across the street), just sit outside and enjoy more wine and cheese before deciding which of the great restaurants you can walk to, or chef prepared dinner. Or visit our local gourmet Sonoma Market and bring dinner home.

The main house and guest cottages all have high quality linens and towels, air conditioning, heating and WIFI. There is a washer and dryer in the basement of the main house.

60th birthday celebration
Our group of six had a fabulous stay at the property. So many gathering spaces, enough seating for everyone, quiet, a unique wine cellar where we had an amazing birthday dinner. This place is a quiet sanctuary right on the outskirt of the town square. So many memories made. Thank you!!!

A wonderful estate & unique Piece of History
We are 3 couples who stayed at Overlook Trail house when spending 3 days in Sonoma/Napa for some wine tasting. The property is stunning and each day we discovered something special and new about it. It is peaceful, spacious, interesting, very well equipped and the location is amazing - 10 minute walk to sonoma square. The host was responsive with any enquiries. We would definitely stay here again!

Sixty in Sonoma
We celebrated some milestone birthdays over our 4-day stay. We could not have enjoyed the property more! Wonderful for a large group of women—with lots of areas to gather together (or not)😊 We loved sitting out on the deck drinking coffee in the morning and around the fire pit at night drinking wine. The quaint town of Sonoma was just a short 10 min walk, and we enjoyed having the trail head to a fantastic hiking trail right across the street for an invigorating morning hike! We can’t wait to go back!

Sonoma/Napa Trip
Incredible property to stay at with a large group. Located a short walk from the Sonoma square with hiking trails right off the backyard or front driveway. This property made our group of 8's trip so comfortable. One night hired a recommended chef(Erin Shallot) who prepared a delicious feast for us after a long day of tastings, I highly recommend for anyone staying at the property or in Sonoma. This was such a relaxing and peaceful home to return to everyday, would suggest this property to anyone with a large group that would prefer to be within walking distance of food and shops.

Beautiful property!!
The house was absolutely gorgeous, the entire property was like an oasis and was perfect for a group trip. It had plenty of space and all the amenities to support a group. We did have some maintenance issues but they were handled quickly and efficiently with fantastic communication from the host and it did not affect how wonderful our time at the space was. I cannot wait to come back and rent this property again!

Perfect House for our Girl’s Getaway

Family of 7 adults. Estate is incredibly comfortable with 3 bedrooms in main home and two cabins separate. 5 minute walk to Sonoma Plaza and ample parking on site. Privacy is sublime, yet also so close to Sonoma restaurants and tasting rooms. We loved it!

Spectacular Sonoma Stay!
We are a group of friends who love good food, good wine and good company. This house could not have been in a better location, just a short walk to the Sonoma Plaza, where we had several fabulous meals during our stay. The house was very clean, the kitchen is very well stocked (especially for a rental home) and it’s just a cool, beautiful space; we loved learning about its history as well. The cottages on the property offer the extra rooms you need and offer added privacy. The outdoor spaces are abundant and we sipped on many glasses of wine in those areas. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we hope to come back next year!

50th bday trip
We had 10 girls for my 50th bday trip. The accommodations were amazing. Fit ten of us perfectly with a lot of space. Everyone had a bed! Just a 10 minute walk to the plaza and many tasting rooms. The trolley tour was fantastic and we got picked up just down the road from the house. The grounds were beautiful!!! Definitely somewhere I would come back to again. Thanks!!!

Perfect hideaway
We had four couples staying at the property. While the bedrooms were not particularly spacious, there were plenty of gathering areas inside and out. The kitchen was beautiful, and probably the best equipped kitchen I have ever seen! Knives were actually sharp and there was tons of utensils, pans and dishes. There was hiking just across the street, and it was an easy walk to the plaza. Great location and beautiful place!

Beautiful & Convenient
This is one of those rare properties that was even MORE amazing than the photos looked. The house and cottages were charming with an amazing, private yard with so many gathering spaces we couldn't get to them all! The property was clean, and the location was unbeatable as we were just secluded enough to feel relaxed but close enough to walk into Sonoma and enjoy several stellar restaurants and tasting rooms just minutes away. Would recommend this property 100% and can't wait to stay there again.

Girls Trip
Beautiful property that hosted 9 women for a girls wine trip. Communication was excellent with Sandy and the house was spotless. The location is only a short walk from downtown Sonoma which made shopping and going to dinner easy. We loved having our final dinner in the wine cellar. My only suggestion would be to put instructions for how to turn on the hot water for showers (luckily I knew and could tell the other guests how). Overall a phenomenal stay!! Thank you!!!

Wow
The stay exceeded our expectations. The home is surrounded by open space but is within walking distance of Sonoma. The front gate opens to a beautiful retreat: a wading pool with a fountain, plants, walkways, a wine cellar... The cottages are steps from the house, and the kitchen were we gathered. We saw deer outside our window, and from the hot tub. Our stay could not have been better!
