A perfect location. A half mile walk to the town center but secluded enough to feel like you are in nature. The pool was warm and refreshing. The living space opening up to the covered patio made it feel like the inside space and outside space were one.

Perfect Wine Country Retreat!

My husband and I along with another couple spent five nights at this gorgeous property. Tucked away in the trees, it was a perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. Great location and proximity to top-notch restaurants and wineries. The kitchen was also very well appointed and communication with the management company was really easy. We will definitely book again!

This is an incredible property! Beautiful location, exquisite grounds, and great amenities. The property design with the two separate houses offers space for friends and family whilst the grounds, pool and outdoor dining / sitting areas create plenty of different spaces to gather and be together. The house was clean and beautifully maintained. From start to finish this was really easy. From check-in, communication, entry and exit.

Bungalows

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was comfortable and decently equipped. We liked the location near the center of Glen Ellen yet felt very private and remote. We had a very nice stay. My only feedback would be that the bedrooms don't have AC so get quite stuffy, and that and the house doesn't have space for an indoor dining table (only bar seating) so if the weather isn't ideal there is no alternative. Not deal breakers but nice to have. Overall very nice stay and we'd consider renting again here.

Peace and perfection

I think this was the only stay of many where we never had to text the host and ask questions about how something worked or where something was. The pool and landscaping are impeccable. Never a sight or sound of any neighbors. Quiet and peaceful. The pool was super warm (probably due to the weather) just they way we like it. The hot tub heated up in 10 minutes. Very well stocked kitchen and thank you for cable TV (the occasional game was great to enjoy). We look forward to our return already. Book without hesitation.

A really beautiful property. Walking distance to town while being totally secluded. The pool was warm and lovely. It was just two of us so we really were able to completely relax and unwind. It was a great escape from the city. A wine country gem. We loved it and will stay again!

Easy living pool and patio

Fantastic pool, patio and kitchen combination for afternoon and evening entertainment. Out for the day then relax and enjoy the ease of apps and dinner by the pool. Moon and nature complment the property. So great!

Perfect Getaway

The only way this could have been a better experience is if it were warm enough to enjoy the pool. The photos don't convey the beauty of this property. The layout is perfect for two couples who enjoy each other's company, but would prefer separate living quarters. Everything is new, modern and clean. You feel like you're in the middle of the country, but are just a short walk into town. Can't wait to return!

Amazing get away, but...

If you're looking for a very private get away, this is the place for you! My family loved it. Immediately upon arrival, we felt like we had entered our own private oasis. The trees surrounding the property made us feel like we had no neighbors. The bungalows were extremely well supplied with multiples of everything you could think of. The layout of everything - furniture, pool, trees, paths, lights, etc - was very well thought out. The only issue we had was with the pool. The house book told us to expect the pool maintenance on Wednesday and that we should enjoy the property while that was happening. However, not being pool owners ourselves, we assumed it would be a 30-45 min interruption. It actually turned out to be a 3 hour ban on the pool. It would have been nice to be aware of that beforehand so that we could plan to be out during that time. We made do. But the troubling thing was that the day after the pool maintenance person came another pool technician came and turned off the pool for another 3 hours without warning or speaking to us about it. He just walked onto the property, saw us inside the bungalow, walked to the pool controls and did whatever it was he was there to do and left before we had a chance to approach him. The only reason we found out that the pool was off was when we went to turn it on, the controls were locked for the next three hours. We had paid extra to have the pool heated since we weren't sure how warm the weather would be. So, to have the pool (our main reason for staying here) be inaccessible to us for 6 hours of prime pool time was upsetting, to say the least. So, for anyone who expects to rent this house and just relax in the pool - the pool technicians may have another idea. Other than that, we absolutely loved this place.

Resort Style Experience

These bungalows are dialed in! The kitchen is stocked with great cookware/serving pieces. The pool is gorgeous and the hot tub heats up fast. The outdoor heat lamps make the patio truly an outdoor living room. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful and Peaceful Property

This property makes you feel as if you are the only people in Glen Ellen, yet you are two minutes away from a great grocery store, bakery, and multiple restaurants. Two couples are able to split up into their own bungalow while sharing the common pool, dining area, and lounge area. Use the speaker and enjoy a nice day by the pool, and then open the sliding glass door and grill out at night. You will not be disappointed. While two appliances did not work upon our arrival, the maintenance staff was able to visit us over the fourth of July weekend to get things back in order, and we greatly appreciated it. Our trip benefited from having a home this welcoming to return to each night.
