About this property

Scenic and tranquil in the heart of Sonoma wine country.

Idyllic to gather with family and friends.

The kitchen is well-supplied with plenty of room for cooks, sous chefs, and advisors.

The porches and windows offer expansive vineyard and garden views.

The 3 bedrooms all have ensuite bathrooms. The 1.3 acre garden invites meandering and meditative time. A comfortable TV room is separated but centrally located and is very close to the refrigerator and the open great room.

Details-
The large great room is 2 walls of mostly glass that open onto multiple decks. Its placement on a gradual hillside gives the views an intimate but open, bucolic feel.

The great room includes a fully equipped kitchen and 10' x 4' island, a 10' dining table that seats 8 - 10 comfortably, a seating area with comfy chairs, and a sectional.

The great room is surrounded by windows, a TV room, and 3 bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath. Two of the bedrooms have 9' tall sliding glass doors that open directly onto the deck and views of the surrounding rolling hills and vineyards or garden. The third is perfect for the person who wants to pull down the shade and miss the sunrise.

The garden features a bocce ball court, horseshoe throw, swing-set. If cornhole and Jenga are your thing, we have those, too!

Begin the day sipping your tea or coffee and watching the sunrise. End the day with dinner and a glass of local wine while watching the sky turn pink. There are large tables that seat 6 -8 on 2 of the decks.


VENTURING OUT: We are a 10-25 minute drive to Healdsburg, Forestville, downtown Santa Rosa, Calistoga, and more wineries than you can possibly explore in a mere week. For outdoor pursuits, there is hiking in Annadel State Park, Hood Mountain, Shiloh Ranch Reserve, etc, or head down to the Russian River for kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and enjoying the small towns and restaurants on its banks. You might also find yourself content to relax at home and explore our neighborhood on foot. If you have a hankering for the ocean, we are a 40-minute drive to the coast at Jenner or Tomales Bay.

This is a cyclist's paradise. Options include anything from a relaxed bike ride through local vineyards to a long, rigorous but spectacularly beautiful century. Check online and consider joining one of the many organized rides hosted by local bike and/or culinary clubs. There is also a collection of bike route maps available at the house. Or ask me! :-)

Awesomeness

The home was perfect for our group of six, lots of room and well provisioned! The bocce court in the late afternoon sun and followed by a hot tub with a rising full moon were great experiences to remember always! So much to do in the area that we have much still to do when we choose to return!

Beautiful and spacious house

We were a group of 3 couples traveling to Sonoma and Napa. We loved the location, the quiet neighborhood, the garden with fruits and veggies we could use, the hot tub and even a massage table! The house was clean and nice when we came. It was easy to communicate with Sandy and we had nothing to complain about. Highly recommend this house. I hope to come back

Gorgeous Home and Views

My family of four (two teenagers) and my brother and sister-in-law hand a wonderful stay over New Years Eve and Day. The location was convenient, quiet, with great views. We loved the modern kitchen, extremely well equipped, enjoyed the garden, and made for an amazing place to enjoy the wine country and just being lazy and enjoying the surrounding hills and scenery. Home has a great modern design with upscale finishes.

Wonderful stylish and relaxing getaway

We stayed at the house for 3 nights for a visit to wine country. House was gorgeous. Very well stocked with everything you could need. Immaculately clean and with lots of helpful instructions about how things worked. Loved soaking in the hot tub after a day's touring with a glass of champagne in hand. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have no hesitation recommending it 100%!! Host communication was superb.

Peaceful, tranquil space

This gem was a slice of heaven. The kitchen was one of the best we’ve ever had, as it was appointed with everything we’d need for the week. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub at the end of our busy days, sitting under the stars with a glass of wine. This is a perfect location to quickly get to neighboring towns and vineyards.

About the host

Hosted by Sandy

Host profile image
I have spent my life either visiting or living in Sonoma County. I love the rolling hills, the bucolic agricultural surroundings, and the cuisine.

My partner died in 2013 and left me this house. Having you enjoy it as a vacation rental allows me to continue to keep this piece of him, this magical world and continue to be part of this nurturing community without giving up the other parts of my life. Thank you!

Also personal is the story of the fire: You may notice that our reviews took a break in October of 2017. That was when the Santa Rosa Tubbs fire took 22 lives, 36,810 acres, and 5,643 structures. We survived unharmed but all that remained were a few shards of pottery and ironwork.

The sadness from that loss remains but there are silver linings. The once dense forest has opened up and given us our views. The 1970's ranch house was lovely but it is replaced by a home that is cleaner, more modern, more open, more environmentally efficient, and far more fire-resistant. It is all-electric, solar, will soon use gray water in the garden, is more conducive to an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, The garden, and the furnishings are continuing to recover and evolve, but I can once again relax and feel restored here. I hope you will feel the same.

Why they chose this property

Comfortable, beautiful, serene. Secluded, but close to so much, including a lifetime of memories and friends for me.

What makes this property unique

The garden, the views, the quiet, and the privacy matter most to me. It is santuary, but close to town and so much else.
