About this property

Serene Pied a Terre in the Wine Country (TOT 695N)

Imagine your own private guest house nestled among mature oaks and rolling pasture on a 20 acre vineyard property in an exclusive area close to numerous vineyards and wineries, and just 10 minutes from the historic and charming sonoma plaza with its renown restaurants and shops.......After a day of wine tasting or exploring the sonoma/napa valleys, return to your bucolic retreat. Discover the diverse wildlife. Savor a glass of wine by the half acre fly fishing pond or bring your rod and catch a few big mouth bass before the resident blue heron gets them. Relax, unwind, and escape your everyday routine.

Your private pastoral drive takes you past the vineyards and pond, with willows and water lilies, to the present barn where stables have been converted to a small family winery.

It is hard to imagine that this adjacent, pristine 1,100 square foot cottage was also once stalls for thoroughbreds and quarter horses.. Dine and relax on a large screened in porch overlooking a private rhododendron garden with fountain and valley views through the trees. It has an open living/dining/full gourmet kitchen floor plan with a bedroom with king bed, study and two bathrooms, one with shower, one with walk in jacuzzi tub. A gas fireplace beneath a 50 inch 4K HD TV adds to the luxurious and comfortable ambiance.

Alder Mews has all the conveniences of home: Gas Wolf stove and oven, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, full size refrigerator with ice maker, automatic hot water dispenser and coffee maker/toaster, dishes, pans and cooking utensils, spices, linens, washer/dryer, iron and board, hair dryer, garage space, gas barbecue, tv, (all Direct TV channels, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu), high speed internet, and air conditioning.
There is a Tesla charger on the property (Gen 3, 60 kw).

Guests are welcome to use the swimming pool in the summer, but the pool, while private, is closer to the main house than the cottage. Most often, guests will have the pool to themselves. However, it is shared when the grandchildren come to visit.

There is a variety of information in the cottage to help you with planning your activities and sample restaurant menus for your dining adventures. Your hosts have lived in the valley for over 30 years and are always happy to help with further information and planning,

One to two well behaved and friendly adult dogs (no barkers) are welcome WITH PRIOR ARRANGEMENT. IMPORTANT: PLEASE DISCLOSE AT TIME OF RESERVATION. The cottage yard is fully fenced. Your dog will love all the new intriguing smells and room to romp, and if he a water dog, swimming in the pond. Sorry, we cannot accommodate cats.

This is a NONSMOKING and NO PARTIES property. The property is not appropriate for children due to the proximity of the large pond. However, infants who do not walk can be accommodated and a pack and play can be provided.

Special discounts available for longer terms, inquire for more information.

Serenity
What a beautiful place to stay! We stayed here for one month for the Thanksgiving holiday with our two large labrador retrievers, and couldn’t have asked for more. My Labs will surely miss swimming in the beautiful pond, and open land where we took walks daily. The rental had a very nice enclosed gated area where we never had to worry when we left our dogs alone. The home was fully stocked with everything we could ask for. Pieter and his wife, Karen, were very accommodating and helpful in anyway we needed. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was perfect. It had everything we needed. The ride into town was only about 10 minutes to the Sonoma square where there is so much to do! It was hard to leave this place!

First visit to Sonoma wine country
We wanted to be within driving distance to downtown but did not actually want to be in that area. This was absolutely perfect as it was only 5 to 10 minutes to town. Our place was so reclusive. We felt like we were at a retreat. We enjoyed walking around and fishing the pond, looking at the vineyards, Enjoying all of the birds and nature on the back patio, and even enjoyed the pool for a short time which has the most amazing views! The hosts were extremely gracious, warm and friendly, and helpful. We absolutely would highly recommend this to anyone! It was just the three of us so my husband and I took the master bedroom and our 19-year-old son took the spare room and made the couch into a bed.

Outstanding Experience
The property was nicer than expected. The hosts were very gracious and attentive to any needs. Picked fresh fruit from their small orchard, caught bass in the pond and drank the owners wine that they shared. Lots of fun and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
