Celebrating friend’s 60th

Our stay at the home was wonderful. The outdoor living area was our favorite. We sat outside around the fire pit after our day of visiting wineries. Would highly recommend the property to anyone visiting the area.

Perfect stay in Glen Ellen

We cannot speak more highly of our stay in Glen Ellen. The home was spacious clean and comfortable with soft beds and linens. The updated bathrooms were lovely and chef’s kitchen a joy to cook in. The outdoor area was dreamy! The pool was so comfortable and the gardens incredibly lovely. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful Home and Property

The house was beautiful and the outdoor living space was amazing with gardens, activities and a view. The only issue I might point out is the summary of the listing said "walking distance to Glen Ellen" not sure I would agree with that given it would be on two lane road with no shoulder.

Amazing Outdoor Living

Wonderful home and the outdoor Soave and views are simply phenomenal. We enjoyed the pool, the bocci ball court, the ping pong table, the trampoline, had s’mores around the fire pit, ate plums from the trees. Ventured to Jack London Park that is right up the street. The only recommendation I’d give is for more screens on the windows. I love to have fresh air at night when it cools down but without screens upstairs a few bugs got in the house. The property manager Claudia was very sweet and responsive. She hustled to get the house ready for our last minute booking and even had it ready a bit early. Very much appreciated. Would gladly return for another stay.

A beautiful and private wine country retreat

We had an excellent time staying at the London Ranch Retreat. It was beautiful, very clean and private. Our favorite part of the place was the outdoor area, pool and view. It was spectacularly landscaped and the design was thoughtful. It was a perfect house for three adult couples. Three separate sleeping areas with private bathrooms (not all en-suite, but each bedroom has a bathroom) made it a good fit. It was in an excellent location for wine tasting and recreation - walkable to Benzinger and a short car ride to Jack London State Park. Glen Ellen is a peaceful wine country hamlet. The pictures in the listing do not reflect all of the rooms or outdoor spaces in their current state (better than pictures). There were a few minor things that could have used attention around the house but I am sure they will be taken care of as the property managers were very responsive. The only thing I would have added to the stay was more poolside lounge chairs and patio furniture for the balcony, and some blankets for chilly nights around the firepit. I highly recommend this home for the quality and location. It was a very nice stay!

Glen Ellen Gem

Stayed here summer of 2021 and loved it so much, we wanted a repeat in 2022. Thank you for opening your home to us again. We loved the quiet, the beautiful grounds, and being able to spend quality family time together in sunshine, serenity and Sonoma perfection. The pool was enjoyed daily, as was spending time in the evenings around the fire (found that purple pillow I left last time!) and making yummy dinners on the bbq or in the well-stocked kitchen. Also loved various spots to relax and unwind - whether stretching near the roses, playing bocce ball, or reading on one of the outdoor sectionals. With our gratitude!

There are some things that need to be addressed

This property was premium priced so I expect a completely premium experience. Generally it was fine but not up to the price. Examples: The Direct TV in the family room had parent controls on it for every channel and no one knew how to work around them. We figured it out but on our own. The Direct TV in the master bedroom never worked. The grill is barely functional and needs to be repaired or replaced. The driveway gate needs an interior control pad to open it. The only way you open it is with a car, which is crazy. The balconies need to be power washed, they are very dirty. There are a bunch of remnants from the owners in the closets and other areas that need to be put away elsewhere. At the price point at which you're operating attention to detail needs to be meticulous. And it's not there. The property manager is not the one to blame - she's great.

Glen Ellen Dreaming

We had an amazing long weekend at the Glen Ellen property. I can honestly say this place exceeded expectations. The grounds and views are spectacular. We literally rushed home each afternoon to hang in the outside gardens, play Bocci Ball, ping pong, and listen to music by the firepit. We grilled out one night, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our experience was great, and hoping we can return again soon. Side note, Glen Ellen is an adorable town. Jack London's and Glen Ellen Star were both fantastic!

Wonderful oasis in the Sonoma mountainside. Beautiful gardens, poolside, and stunning views.

We really enjoyed our time in Glen Ellen at “The Ranch.” Thank you to our hosts for a memorable stay. Your home is beautiful, well-equipped, and held everything for a 5-star vacation.

Amazing grounds

This property has incredible grounds. There's a great lap pool, kids tree house, large trampoline (with net mesh around it), bocce court, gorgeous flowers and plants, and three different lawn areas (with turf grass) for picnics, etc. There was even a garden with ginormous squash. The view was also incredible, and the property is very quiet and private. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen was well stocked with cookware. The property manager, Jerry, was very friendly and helpful too. All good things from him. The points off are for a few items. One, the spiders. Sooo many spiders inside the house. The house could do with some heavy duty cleaning and/or spraying outside so there aren't so many. Two, the guest shower upstairs broke on Day One, then some brown sediment came up through the pipes on Day Two. Three, the tile floor in the downstairs shower was incredibly slippery, to the point of being almost dangerous. I was very happy to not have fallen. Four, the hot tub was never hot. It wasn't even lukewarm. It was cold the entire time, so that was a bummer. As nice as the house and grounds were, if I'm going to spend a pretty penny for a vacation, I'd like to not encounter quite so many issues.

Simply the best

We had an amazing time with our family and can't wait to go back! This house has the best of both worlds: gives you the feeling of being completely remote but only 10min away from Glen Ellen. So many things for kids (and adults) to enjoy from jumping on trampoline, to exploring the tree house, grilling S'mores on the fire pit or just chilling by the pool. Counting the days till our next visit.

Glen Ellen Retreat

Great experience all the way around. Booked for a week to get out of the SF fog. The location (IMO) is the best in Sonoma. Fantastic Glen Ellen Market, Jack London State Park and wine tastings all within walking distance. The walks are up or down hill depending on where you’re headed. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The pool, bocce, fire pit, trampoline and outdoor speakers we all used daily. The house was exactly as advertised. I’ve rented 2 dozen homes in/around Sonoma over the years and have never had an “on call” concierge like Jerry. He was helpful upon arrival and assisted with the removal of some overflow garbage that we had produced by the middle of the week. Side notes: One bedroom was being converted from a kids bunk room to a more polished queen bed room. No problem for us but double check if the bunks are important to you. WiFi was solid. Four adults working online and two kids on iPads and it kept up. Would absolutely book again.
