RealaxingJuly in Wine Country
My recent stay at this comfortable cabin in Glen Ellen was nothing short of relaxing. Hidden away on the banks of Lake Idelle, this secluded retreat provided the perfect escape for me, my partner, and our beloved dog. The highlight of each day was taking our dog for a morning stroll around the lake to enjoy the calm and quiet at dawn.The cabin itself was beautifully furnished, offering us a casual and inviting space to unwind and a very comfortable Queen-sized bed. While we had the option to cook in the well-equipped kitchen, we spent most of our time exploring the vibrant culinary scene of Sonoma and Napa's stunning Wine Country. From charming restaurants to delightful vineyards and captivating museums, the area had so much to offer.One of our favorite experiences was visiting the Tuesday evening Farmer's Market on Sonoma Plaza, where we savored fresh, local produce. On the hottest July days, the shaded public park in Kenwood provided another refreshing oasis besides the lakeside docks. The cabin's efficient air conditioning system was a blessing, allowing us to quickly cool down when we preferred to stay indoors.Our host, Don, was an exceptional guide, offering valuable insights into the local area. His thoughtful provision of a comprehensive guide to nearby restaurants, shops, tasting rooms, and information about our friendly neighbors, as well as a bottle of local wine, made our stay even more enjoyable.This special location of the cabin, among the oak trees at the end of the road overlooking Lake Idelle, exuded a sense of grace and tranquility that instantly captivated us. We wholeheartedly recommend this cabin as the ultimate retreat for any season. It served as the perfect escape from the Palm Springs heat where we have our primary home, and our experience surpassed all expectations. Needless to say, we are already looking forward to returning again.
