2nd Time - Just as Good as the First

This is a great home base for wine country. We’ve stayed here twice and it’s been amazing both times! The home has really comfortable beds, lots of bathrooms and showers for all the guests and is fully stocked with everything you could possibly imagine. This is in a quiet corner of Glenn Ellen is a really great city near Sonoma.

Wolf Glen is Fantastic Home Away From Home

Our group of 6 had an absolutely wonderful time at this beautiful and well-adorned home that was a very short walk to the quaint Glen Ellen town center. The house was stocked with everything we could need - it truly felt like home! We will definitely plan our next trip to Sonoma around being able to stay at Wolf Glen!

Great house and location

This house is even bigger, nicer and cleaner than the pictures show. It is in a great location walking distance to restaurants, grocery store and bakery. It was big enough for 10 girls to stay. It was very clean and fully stocked with anything you could need for your stay.

Wonderful home in the perfect spot

Wolf Glen was just a wonderful place to rest our heads. With plenty of room for the 4 of us and the perfect tranquil setting, we were able to get to the north and south wineries, restaurants, hiking and shopping with ease. The kitchen had everything!!! and great village market and bakery was an easy walk from the house. Dave was responsive and very helpful. Overall, I highly recommend!

Amazing stay at Wolf Glen

The entire process; from communicating with Dave to solidify the reservation, the information we received in advance of our stay, the stay, and the follow-up; of renting Wolf Glen was excellent. The cliff notes version: Dave is thoughtful, responsive, and communicative. The house is clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything Glen Ellen visitors might need. The kitchen was amazing – several of our party oohed and aahed at the selection of spices, vinegars, and balsamics. The location of the house was perfect – plenty of parks to explore, beautiful countryside to run/bike through and, of course, wineries to visit. I would highly recommend Wolf Glen! The more detailed version: My fiancé and I wanted to host a joint Thanksgiving/Birthday party over the holiday. My whole family came from the East Coast and abroad. We wanted to make their trip worth their while. In advance of renting Wolf Glen, Dave let us stop by to visit the house. We loved meeting him. (Side note: Dave volunteered to help us in anyway he could with our wedding planning for the following summer before he knew whether or not we were actually going to rent the property. It was not one of those idle promises, we spoke with Dave several times about our wedding. It demonstrated of the kind of gesture that seems common for Dave.) Our visit to the property confirmed our desire to rent Wolf Glen. Wolf Glen was perfect for my family of 8 (7 adults and one toddler). Several of the closets are huge, so we put a pack in play in one of the closets and voila, my nephew had his own room. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 with their own bathrooms and 2 that share a bath. The beds and linens are extremely comfortable. The house has a very open concept, which meant the toddler could run around and we always knew where he was. The continuity between the kitchen and the living space allows for the cooks and the not so culinary inclined to still get some time together. The house was a great, central home base. People continuously popped out and popped back throughout the day. Its central location made it easy to drop by quickly if something was forgotten or sit for ten minutes before the next activity began. While I did not go to watch TV, they did have the premium cable package. My fiancé and I tried to steal some time away to catch up on season 2 of Homeland to no avail. We did, however, have access to every Thanksgiving football we wanted to watch. Bottom line: I highly recommend Wolf Glen!

Perfect for a week in wine country!

The house is beautiful, comfortable and serene. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck overlooking the peaceful river in the comfy chairs. We also enjoyed the location - a great quiet little neighborhood very close to the heart of Glen Ellen. Les Pascales French bakery and the Jack London Saloon were big hits with our family.

Beautiful home in a great location

This house was beautiful and very comfortable for our group of 8 women. However, our stay started out on a rough note when after a long day of travel from the east coast, we were not able to get into the house. The host had provided inaccurate information and we were only able to get inside because a neighbor knew the lockbox code and was willing to tell us. The host did not return my messages or phone call for more than 5 hours after I reached out. We also were made to feel a bit unwelcome when the host stopped by the property a few days into our stay and questioned why we were using the AC, despite it being 95F earlier that day and still over 80F at the time.Other than these issues with communication, our stay at the property was lovely. The sound of the stream behind the house was very peaceful. We loved being such a short walk from the French bakery and grocery store and went to both businesses frequently during our stay! We were also centrally located to visit wineries in the Kenwood and Sonoma areas.

Perfect getaway

We are a group of 9 women celebrating a milestone bday. This house is perfection. We felt at home from the moment we arrived! There is plenty of space inside and out for a large group to gather or break out into smaller groups. Sleeping arrangements are flexible to accommodate sleeping solo or with a friend. The location is walkable to restaurants, wine tasting and convenience stores. We hired a driver to take us around wine country and it was super easy and picturesque!David is very welcoming, accommodating and knowledgeable! We appreciate the entire experience, gained a love for Glen Ellen and hope to be back before the next milestone bday!

The property was perfect for the 8 of us and we felt we had enough space to relax in our separate quarters when needed.

About the host

Hosted by David Walker

Host profile image
'Wolf Glen' derived its name from the many Jack London novels that were about wolves. Jack London lived in Glen Ellen and the state park named after him is a short walk from our home.
As for the 'Glen' part, the trees are so beautiful that we had to use 'Glen' in the name. Pictured is our dog, Potus, who extends his warm welcome. We do hope that Wolf Glen is all that you want it to be and more - enjoy!!

Why they chose this property

The creek, the trees, the tranquility and the location to restaurants, wineries and the Glen Ellen Market make this home ideal for visiting the wine country. We have looked for a home in Sonoma County for years and stayed in vacation rentals throughout the wine regions and finally settled on the town of Glen Ellen due to its central location in the Sonoma Wine Valley and its proximity to the Napa Valley. Once we settled into the town of Glen Ellen we fell in love with the heart of the community and everyone we have met.

What makes this property unique

We found Wolf Glen on a lark and fell in love with it immediately. The home feels elegant and sophisticated and offers a unique balance of privacy and access to the heart of downtown Glen Ellen. We can walk to restaurants, winery tasting rooms, and a gourmet grocery store yet the home is on a private, quiet road and feels as if it is in the middle of nowhere. The stars at night are amazing. Just a short walk from the home we can enter into Sonoma Regional Park and hike up in the hills, or drive a short mile and be in Jack London State Park.
