Himmel House ~ Enchanting home away from home for a relaxing getaway

**Please be advised only 6 guests are permitted at the property at all times. No visitors are allowed. While we absolutely want you to enjoy the house and your vacation, we ask that you please be mindful of the neighbors. The way the house is situated noise can carry quite easily to the other homes so please keep the volumes down.**

You’ll feel a thousand miles away in this tasteful, wine country retreat, surrounded by natural beauty. Conveniently located just off Highway 12 halfway between Sonoma and Santa Rosa. Yet Kenwood Village and Glen Ellen, with their charming local markets and excellent restaurants, are just minutes away.

In the heart of the Sonoma wine country, Himmel House is a comfortable and tastefully appointed home at the end of a private drive in Kenwood, California. A tranquil retreat from the clamor and hustle of everyday life, Himmel House is a perfect getaway for one or two couples.

It’s called Himmel, meaning “Sky,” because when you are on the property—relaxing by the pool, sipping wine on the patio, or watching the sunset on the terrace—you feel that the sky is yours alone. There is nothing between you, and the clouds and the stars, and nothing to obstruct your view from the rolling hillsides dotted with oaks in the distance. At night, only the sounds of crickets and frogs and the occasional owl in the distance break the silence.

The house itself is lovely; with abundant natural light, stylish yet relaxed furnishings, original art, and thoughtful amenities to add to your comfort. It has three bedrooms and two baths, with many tasteful updates, modern fixtures and appliances, and a well-equipped kitchen. The great room and its French doors lead to multiple outdoor spaces, from the solar-heated lap pool and terrace to the garden, to patios and outdoor dining areas, including a covered/heated lanai.

Himmel House feels far away, but it’s easy to get to. If you arrive by HWY 12, there are no rutted, winding roads to navigate or mountain paths. You’re just a mile from Kenwood village and five minutes from the quaint town of Glen Ellen and 15 minutes from either downtown Sonoma or Santa Rosa. All offer excellent restaurants, markets, and shopping. Wine enthusiasts and nature lovers will find Himmel House convenient to a 10-mile stretch of wine tasting on Sonoma Highway, and hiking through the Mayacamas Mountains, Sugarloaf Park, Annadel State Park, or Jack London State Historic Park.

Featured Amenities:
Hillside view, non-smoking, high-speed internet, washer and dryer, induction range, gas grill, solar-heated lap pool (**April- October, dependent on the weather as it uses solar energy to heat **), water treatment with reverse-osmosis drinking water, heated patio. Please note this property is not ideal for small children.

a tranquil get away in the French countryside
This is the most well equipped and fully stacked kitchen I have ever stayed. They have anything you can imagine in a kitchen. It would have been perfect to prepare gourmet food, but we did not cook. We did take advantage of it's proximity to a few of wonderful restaurants near by. The house is quite comfortable for our group of 5. one of the 2 bathrooms is quite small but functional. The landscape of the yard is simple and pleasant. It feels like you are in the countryside of France. The pool is sizable but the water is quite cold in a warm sunny day in May at temperature of 78-80. This is the only negative to our stay. We enjoyed the tranquility this house offered. We would consider coming back in the future

Great Place
Great house, very quiet and private. Great location as well, halfway between Santa Rosa and Sonoma and very close to Glenn Ellen and numerous wineries. The bedrooms are nice and private, with two set on one side of the living room and one on the other. Perfect for families or couples wanting to share but still be out of the way. My only complaint is that the stove, while top of the line, was maybe intended for a professional chef and hard to use for the layman, and the bathrooms/kitchen was a little understocked with necessities.

Fantastic Sonoma getaway
A perfect escape in the heart of Sonoma wine country away from the more crowded and touristy parts of Napa. Glen Ellen is one of our favorite places to decompress, with a few perfect spots to shop and dine out, and the house is just off Sonoma Hwy in Kenwood for easy access to Sonoma, Healdsburg, etc., but you’d never know it-very quiet and serene. House is old California in the best way, but extremely comfortable, updated, and very well equipped with thoughtful touches, particularly if you like to cook. We stayed with friends and had several great meals in the house, even using herbs and vegetables from the garden. Comfy king beds in all rooms, heated floor in the owners bath for chilly nights, and great water pressure. Pool is lovely but solar heated-might be chilly deeper into Fall. We still got good use of it on a warm October day. Looking forward to another trip out soon, we’re already missing it!
