El Mirador (from Spanish, from mirror to look, affording a view of the surroundings)
This gorgeous, private, and gated 1.8-acre estate is located just behind the historic Sonoma Square in the country. Newly remodeled, the property features 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, a large living room with 13-foot French doors offering endless views of the Sonoma hills, and a 26-foot dining patio for gathering friends and enjoying the weather.
Come enjoy the view over the pool, relax on a daybed suspended from a perfectly placed old oak tree while listening to the koi pond quietly cascading in the background, BBQ warming your dinner as you sample some local wine and cheese.
El Mirador could be one of the finest places to sit and relax after a long day of wine tasting, hiking, ballooning, biking, shopping, or just enjoying the slow-paced local atmosphere.
-------------------------- Please note: * DOGS: Small/medium-sized dogs (less than 30 lbs) are permitted with prior approval for the stated daily fee per pooch. Note that larger dogs and long-haired dogs are not allowed in the pool.
* PARTIES: The property is not permitted to host weddings, receptions, or large parties (more than 13 people). These events require a commercial license and insurance.
* POOL: The pool is solar-powered and typically warm enough for swimming from April through October, often into November. During the hot summer months, temperatures can be 80+. New for 2021: insurance is now required, and we have added a secondary safety measure and a "kid-safe" fence around the pool.
* SMOKING: This is a non-smoking property. Smoking will result in the loss of your deposit, as it is a serious offense.
* VIDEO: The property has a security camera for the safety and security of the property and our guests. It is visible from above the garage and, for privacy, faces only the driveway and gate. As with all Nest/Blink cameras, it records video and audio for security.
* COVID-19: If you are worried about COVID-19, please purchase appropriate trip insurance. We will refund your deposit if the county closes us, but otherwise, please purchase trip insurance.
* SMOKE: Same as COVID-19, if the county closes us, we will refund your trip. Please purchase the appropriate trip insurance.
* Please be aware that this listing shows up on Craigslist. The Craigslist post is a scam (they copy the listing and post the house for long-term rent)! Please flag it if you see it. Thank you, Steve.

About the host
Hosted by Steve Shepard
I have lived in the Bay Area my entire life and have no intention of leaving. Between Marin, Sonoma, and Tahoe, I can bike, hike, ski, eat, dine, and play just about anything with some of the world's great people.
Why they chose this property
Having lived in the Bay Area my entire life, I genuinely believe Sonoma is one of the world's great hidden gems (and yes, I have traveled extensively). The best comparison I have found is the slow pace of Southern France. Where Napa may have the name for wine, Sonoma has access to all the great wine, PLUS small-town charm. Sonoma Square (one of two; Healdsburg is the other) offers a relaxed atmosphere that has not changed in 100 years. This is also the birthplace of California for history buffs.
El Mirador (from Spanish, meaning "mirror" or "to look," affording a view of the surroundings) offers unparalleled views from Mount Tamalpais, past Mount Diablo, through the East Bay. Truly amazing on a clear day. All while less than 5 minutes (under 2 miles) from the square. Please read the reviews, as pictures cannot do it justice. The house was fully remodeled in 2014 and 2017 and has all the bells and whistles you could ever ask for while keeping this tranquil hilltop location quiet. You will not be disappointed.
