Really enjoyed our stay here - the photos don’t do justice to the property’s lovely pool views nor to the spaciousness of the interior. Also a great kitchen for cooking and a sweet short walk into town for food, wine, coffee and baked goods.
Property was in an amazing location able to walk to great restaurants and local wineries. Wine snob is a short 5 minute walk away and is a great spot for a tasting! Would definitely stay again. Backyard and pool were amazing with great views!
We decided on a staycation over the 4th of July and this property was a great venue for it. There was something to do for everyone and space to spread out. We ended up getting getting to know Barry, the host, well. He was prompt in his responses and welcoming so it came naturally to reciprocate. We'd stay at this home again.
Nice large home with plenty of space for 8 adults. Made for a nice jumping off point for a weekend in Napa. Wish the pool was heated, otherwise enjoyed our time there.
We had a wonderful weekend at this property. The house was pretty and clean with a nice large kitchen, and the deck and pool in the back were great places to relax in the mornings and evenings. We would definitely stay here again!
This house was in a fantastic location, and the outside space was amazing. The sunset views from the deck were fabulous and we enjoyed sitting out under the stars and listening to a band play in Jack London Lodge. The kitchen is truly a dream kitchen, and although we didn't use as much as we could have, it was so nice to have everything we could have needed (and then some!). The layout of the house was great for two couples as the main bedroom and guest rooms are on opposite sides of the house. The only upgrade we could suggest is a new mattress in the guest room. Other than that, we enjoyed the space and truly enjoyed our stay in Glen Ellen.
Had a great stay in the Glen Ellen area at Barry's place. Check-in was easy and the host worked with us to accommodate our flight delays and didn't make us feel uncomfortable. Everything we needed in the house during our stay was there for us, as well. The town was just a short drive or walk down the hill with shops and restaurants for all your needs. Great location overall and would highly recommend staying if you're in the area!
A stay here has become an annual tradition for the family. Love the heated pool (with cover to make it child safe and plenty of pool toys), short walk to a couple great restaurants and small market in Glen Ellen, and spacious home with huge kitchen.
You can't beat this location! The pool is much bigger than it looks in the photos and has an automatic cover which was really nice. We stayed at the end of June so it was hot without A/C (106 outside) but the pool felt great and was nice and warm. We cooked a handful of meals at the house and it was just a great experience overall.
Overall, we had a fabulous stay with our family. We LOVED the pool and the house was perfect for us. There is a gorgeous view and the location was just what we were looking for. The owner is friendly and personable. It should be noted that there is no central AC, but with the weather in the area, it worked out just fine! The house is spacious and was a great home base for our family during our vacation.
The house was great and within walking distance of Glen Ellen, a really cute town. Barry was available to offer suggestions and answer questions. We had a great trip!
Perfect poolside getaway for a Sonoma wedding weekend
The Glen Ellen house was cute, comfortable, and convenient for a wedding weekend trip! The pool was perfect for beating the heat and the backyard views are beautiful. It has a large and well supplied kitchen that was great for cooking our own meals. House is close to town but also tucked away in a nice neighborhood. The host Barry was helpful and communicative. Would recommend!
Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to downtown Glen Ellen. Views, pool, back deck were fantastic. Hot tub was not functional. Kitchen very well stocked. Communication with Barry was great. Stayed with 4 adults, but definitely space for more. Recommended to all!
This house was perfect for my group of 7 girls! The backyard is a dream. Unfortunately the hot tub jets were not working while we were there but the pool is lovely and the views are beautiful! The location of this house was perfect for us to do wine tastings in Sonoma. The town of Glen Ellen is very cute and a short walk. The check in process was so easy and the communication with the host was great. The only reason I did not give this property 5 stars was the cleanliness. There were a few spider webs in the bathtubs and we noticed alot of hair and dust but overall we were extremely happy with our stay!
My sister got married in Napa Valley. This was affordable and relatively close by. The property is great and in a quite neighborhood. We walked to a cafe 7 minutes away that was yummy. The hot tub wasnt working but overall 10/10 stay.
Perfect location, host, and home! We loved staying here and want to come back year after year. We toured Sonoma and truly enjoyed all that Glen Ellen had to offer - a lot! The house was very comfortable for five adults. The pool was perfect! We had a few pool afternoons together and those were some of my favorite moments with my adult children. Absolute fantastic!
We had a wonderful stay in Sonoma. The house was spacious and clean. It had a lovely kitchen, although we didn’t have occasion to use it much. Barry was helpful and responsive.
Beautiful property very close to the center of charming Glen Ellen. Beautiful pool and view from this lovely house on a hill. Great kitchen, layout and decor. Walking distance to fabulous restaurants, cafes, bakeries and grocery store. Host was excellent. highly recommended all around. 🍷
