Just minutes from the historic Sonoma Plaza, this is a stunning private estate with five bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath, a pool & hot tub, vineyard views, and a one-of-a-kind restored vintage camper turned Tequila Bar next to the rose garden and bocce ball court. You arrive thinking you'll see the wineries. You leave wishing you'd booked more nights.
The Space:
Guests consistently love the outdoor spaces, and it's easy to see why. The solar-heated pool and hot tub sit at the center of a professionally designed garden, surrounded by Balinese daybeds, multiple dining and lounging areas, and an outdoor shower that turns a morning swim into something worth lingering over. The bocce court, basketball, and ping pong keep things lively. Then there's the Tequila Bar: a vintage camper, restored by hand, next to the rose garden and bocce court. It's the detail nobody tells you about until it becomes your favorite part.
Inside, open-beam ceilings, walls of windows, and French doors opening to the garden give the main house a warmth that photos don't fully capture. The gourmet kitchen opens to the great room. The dining table seats twelve, with additional seating at the island.
The main house has four bedrooms and four and a half baths. The pool house is fully independent with its own kitchen, living area, fifth bedroom, and full bath, ideal for multi-family gatherings or guests who want their own retreat within the retreat.
All five bedrooms have king beds, private ensuite baths, open to the outdoors and a flat screen TV. For flexible sleeping arrangements, one of the main house king beds may be converted into two twin-sized beds, upon prior request, and the pool house living room is also equipped with a built-in twin-sized bed.
At a Glance:
* 5 bedrooms, all king beds, all private ensuites

The property is gorgeous lots to do inside and out. We had planned a family trip and there was 8 of us and we all had room to spread out. The lot is amazing and pool area is awesome.

Thank you for choosing us!
The house was amazing! We all enjoyed our time hanging out inside and enjoyed the hot tub, bocce ball, bball hoop, and frisbee golf outside. There was so much to do and we truly had a wonderful time just being together at this beautiful house!

Thank you for your review!
We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed such lovely Spring weather during your stay.
The Twelve Oaks grounds truly are beautiful and offer so many wonderful activities and spaces to enjoy.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us.
We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!
Property was expansive and spacious. It was nice that all the bedrooms had en-suite bathrooms. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Hot tub was nice and warm. Pool was a little nippy since we there during late March but we still enjoyed it. Bocce ball, frisbee, and basketball were other activities we enjoyed. But for the most part, it was nice for us just to sit around the family room and relax. My family enjoyed our stay as we celebrated my wife’s 60th birthday. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We are so happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay! This property is quite lovely year round, isn't it!
The spring flowers take our breath away every year. We are pleased to hear that you and your loved ones were able to gather together for this special occasion inside and out.
This home is fantastic, with lots of room and great design; the kitchen is impressive and has everything you need. The beds are great, the bathrooms are super clean, and the Patio, gardens, and pool are just insane, amazing areas. It is also super close to great Sonoma and Napa spots.
I rate this place A+++ just amazing!
The property is beautiful, clean comforting- host was wonderful! We are coming back for sure! I wish we could stay much longer. Thank you for everything, host for the beautiful card, snacks and wine waiting for us!
Beautiful property inside and out! Very comfortable and well equipped. Great location for accessing Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley wineries and attractions.
Highly recommend. We’ll be back!
What a lovely property. It felt like our own personal resort. By far one of the best stays I've ever had. Very clean. Thoughtfully apportioned. Would definitely come back. Thanks for the lovely stay!
Wonderful experience at Twelve Oaks! We had a group of 10 and this house had everything! Communication with property manager was excellent from the time we booked until the day we left, any question we had were answered within minutes. We were sad to leave but will definitely be back! Highly recommended for a trip to Napa or Sonoma.
This place is great. The pictures on VRBO do not truly capture the magic of this house. The layout is perfect for a large group of friends/couples. Each room has a nice size en-suite bathroom and king sized bed. A fully stocked gourmet kitchen with a welcome basket of treats for our group to enjoy. The backyard, pool, and hot tub were all amazing. Lastly, the property manager is very responsive and helpful with any questions you may have. Can’t wait to go back.
This is the most perfect property I have ever stayed in. My husband and I cannot wait to return. The floor plan is open and the bedrooms comfortable. What sets it apart is the outdoor space. We didn’t go out to restaurants at night, preferring instead to have our meals out by the pool or the bocce court or under the tree next to the kitchen.
We cannot stop talking about how we wish we were back ther!
This is one of the nicest properties that I have ever stayed at. It had everything from a beautiful yard and pool to a beautifully decorated house to a completely stocked kitchen. It is in a great location for going to downtown Sonoma to eat and or touring all the wineries north of Sonoma. We were a group of seven friends and we had more than enough space. Hopefully I will be able to rent this home again in my lifetime!
We rented Twelve Oaks with four other couples this past fall. The pictures online are beautiful, but seeing the property in person is jaw-dropping. We all were blown away by the meticulous grounds, the countless amenities, the roominess of the bedrooms and living areas, the large kitchen, the pool house... We could not have found a more perfect place to stay. The proximity to Sonoma Plaza and our chosen wineries made it an ideal location for all our plans. The property manager was super responsive when there was a neighborhood wide power outage. Don't miss out on this fantastic home!
The listing was very accurate. This is a very nice, lush, well equipped property. Everything worked well except for the lights above the bocce court. Pool - perfect. Hot tub - perfect. Grill - perfect. Kitchen - perfect. It just a very nice property. The property manager was 100% available and helpful.
I will say the warnings about outside noise were not an issue for us at all. We were respectful but did not alter our behavior.
We love our stay at 290 Serres, the house was beautiful, clean, and had all the amenities!
Our group of 8 was very comfortable in the house. We enjoyed all bedrooms having their own bathroom, that was a plus. Downside and only downside was we could not have any music outside at anytime of the day. It really impacted us enjoying outside. We respect not noise after 9pm but it’s ridiculous we could not play any music during the early evening. We’ll be back for sure and play our music inside with the doors open!

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and that you and your guests were comfortable.
We apologize that the Sonoma County Vacation Rental ordinances regarding music outdoors impacted your stay.
These ordinances are in place to respect Sonoma’s neighborhoods as well as families who are getting up early to go to work & school or working from home during the day on dates guests may be visiting.
We truly appreciate that you adhered to these ordinances so that we can continue to rent this beautiful home and property.
I chose this property to celebrate my 40th birthday with friends and family, and it surpassed all my expectations, providing the perfect backdrop for a tranquil retreat. The house itself is a masterpiece of design, featuring immaculate decorations, an exceptional kitchen, and exquisite Asian-inspired accents, all complemented by a mid-century modern flair. The garden and landscaping are a true oasis, ideal for relaxation, complete with a meticulously maintained pool area, a charming pool house, and multiple inviting spaces for gatherings. The outdoor BBQ grill was a highlight for evening cookouts. The value for money is undeniable; the property is not only as good as its pictures and description suggest but even more delightful in person. Staying here was a peaceful experience, and it left everyone absolutely enchanted. Highly recommended for anyone considering a serene getaway.
