About this property
1-acre Private Backyard with Large Pool
Glen Ellen getaway 1 hour from the Golden Gate Bridge. The indoor/outdoor format allows you to flow back and forth between climate controlled comfort and swimming in the large custom in-ground pool (not heated), lounging on the deck, perusing the flower gardens, picking fresh produce from the garden in the back, lawn games or bocce, al fresco dining and refreshments on the deck, decompressing in the hot tub, or just letting the warm sunshine wash over you in one of the chaise loungers until you enter a Zen-like state. Spacious indoors and out, a dining room and two large common rooms with masonry fireplaces offer gathering places to relax and wind down after a full day with a meal and fire.
We are located in the heart of Sonoma Valley wine country. Several wineries are walkable, and dozens more are within a 10 minute drive. Hiking, biking, and picnicking in Sonoma Valley Regional Park, as well as guided nature walks in Bouverie Wildflower Preserve, are both a mile away. Charming downtown Glen Ellen is 1.5 miles down a country lane. The entrance to Jack London State Park and amazing hiking, picnicking, and historic buildings are two miles away; guided horseback riding is also available. The renowned Sonoma town square is 7.5 miles down Highway 12. Glen Ellen and Sonoma both offer great restaurants, Sonoma a wider selection. Your spirit of adventure will be met in full by the world class recreational activities at your fingertips.
The house itself is remodeled with abundant light from skylights, picture windows, and sliding glass doors. Almost every room has views of the lush, private back yard with extensive lawn, mature trees, and flowers in bloom most of the year. The house has 3 full baths including an en-suite master bath.

This property is amazing! It was the perfect oasis for 5 gals in wine country! We had a wonderful week, with the property making both Sonoma Valley and Napa valley easily accessible. The whole house was so clean and bright. There were 2 outside and 2 inside areas to eat!The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, pans, utensils, spices and of course wine glasses! The beds were all comfortable with very nice linens. The grounds are very well maintained and beautiful with a beautiful clean pool and hot tub. Robert was super responsive! We will definitely stay here next time we are in wine country!
We just had a great time with eight of us total. Communication was excellent and Robert helped us out with great recommendations. Provides a perfect home base for your travels in the area.
We fully enjoyed our stay in this home. The house and the grounds are beautiful. The layout is perfect for groups and allows for several spots to gather or separate as needed. It is close to so many wineries and towns. We would stay here again.
House was exactly as described. Kitchen was fully stocked with all types of pot, pans and cooking utensils. Large living room and family room allowed for family to spread out. We didn’t use the pool or hot tub, (too busy exploring Napa) but there were tons of pool towels and pool floats in the garage. Robert was a receptive host, texting me right away after I asked a question. A great house for a family vacation!
Perhaps one of the best rental properties I’ve ever stayed at, this place was just perfect for a weekend getaway in wine country! Great location, excellent amenities, very well stocked kitchen—we felt right at home. Can’t wait to visit again!
We had a great time cooking and relaxing at the house with lots of great walks out the door and many nearby wineries. We all loved it and would definitely come back.

Very nice home with pretty much everything you need available.
Very convenient to the wineries with restaurants close by and pool and hot tub at the end of the day. We were staying here when the fire struck and the owners were very accommodating to the circumstances.
By far one of the best rentals I’ve ever stayed in. Plenty of space, lots of activities (hot tub, pool, bocce, game cabinet, just to name a few). Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, ample parking, and close to all the wine you could ever want! Rob was a great host and communicated great!
My friends and I had a wonderful stay in Robert’s home. It was a beautiful property and conveniently located near downtown Sonoma and many wineries. We would definitely return!
This place was perfect for our group. The house has a nice layout that works well for family / friend get togethers: multiple living rooms, fully equipped gourmet kitchen, very good indoor outdoor connection, lots of amenities (pool, hot tub, bocce ball court). Location is also very good - quiet neighborhood, wineries within walking distance from the house, 5 min drive to grocery store, restaurants and bakery in Glen Ellen. We really enjoyed our stay.
This home proved to be ideal for our week together as a family, perfectly suited to four couples, plus a separate bedroom for our grandchildren to have one twin bed for each of them. The spacious layout afforded the right mix of together and separate space, both inside and out. The pool, hot tub, outdoor games (bocce, cornhole, basketball, and neighborhood walks) were great. The kitchen and grill facilitated home cooking very nicely. The location allowed nice day trips to Muir Woods and Sausalito, San Francisco, and Napa, while the local Sonoma, Santa Rosa, and Glen Ellen wineries, restaurants, and shopping allowed “home days” to be as good as our excursions. It will prove to go down in our family history as a treasured location!

We are glad to answer any questions, provide advice on wineries to visit, and help you realize the vacation you are imagining. Call Rob at 415-308-4010, and we'll go from there.
