About this property

Contemporary Luxury in Wine Country - Walkable to 9 tasting rooms!

This home is a luxury vacation rental located in the heart of the beautiful Sonoma Valley appellation known as the Valley of the Moon.
Completely renovated with hardwood floors, custom high end furnishings, Ceasarstone counter tops and much more. Ideally suited for the sophisticated traveler who desires high quality modern accommodations. This home is a brilliant alternative to hotels for couples seeking privacy or friends sharing a vacation. There's a fully fenced, private backyard with a deck overlooking a seasonal creek. Enjoy dinner at the large grapevine covered picnic table. Stroll through the 200 vine Zinfandel & Petite Syrah vineyard. Every detail is taken into consideration to insure maximum comfort for our guests. This sophisticated Kenwood home offers the very best of wine country. We guarantee it is the best home rental in Kenwood. Come and see for yourself!


Local Wineries & Wines: Premiere wineries in the region all within a few miles include: BR Cohn, B Wise, Ty Cayton, Chateau St. Jean, Landmark, Ledson, Kaz, Kenwood, Kunde, Imagery, Muscardini Cellars, Mayo, St Francis, VJB and Arrowood. A host of fine restaurants also await ranging from local Tapas to gourmet French and Italian along with fine California cuisine.

Description of Area: Conveniently situated in the heart of Kenwood's 'Winery Row' in close proximity to world-class wineries, fine restaurants, Jack London State Park, Sugarloaf Mountain, Hood Mountain, and Annadel State Park. A wonderful central location for exploring the Valley of the Moon, Sonoma and Napa.
The route, coming into Kenwood as you drive north through Sonoma Valley, the mountains ribbed with hillside vineyards, is in the same league as those through Tuscany and Provence. Experience the much more laid back atmosphere of Sonoma vs Napa valley where it is not uncommon to have the wine makers pouring the wine.

Great location, layout and amenities

My mom lives in Kenwood and we needed a place nearby during a family reunion weekend. The house is clean and comfortable, nicely appointed, and the backyard is charming. Kenwood is a great location for wine country access and trips into Sonoma, Glen Ellen, Santa Rosa. There are some great walks in the neighborhood, and restaurant choices. Mary was available to answer a question right away. I'd stay there again.

Darling location

We loved this property. We felt like it was priced right. My daughter and I felt at home. The backyard is beautiful We played cards on the deck in the evening. It sleeps 5 and would be great for a larger group (more than 2) if it had more bathrooms. We were fine with one of course. I would highly recommend this home for a couple.

Great Place for a Couple

My husband and I had a wonderful time celebrating his 70th birthday at this cute house in the Sonoma valley. The owner, Mary, was excellent in returning phone calls and a request to delay our start by one day. And the back yard is a wonderful place to unwind and have some lovely wine at the end of the day.

Perfect Location

This was the perfect location for a wine country get-away. A little quieter than Napa, but with great wineries and vinyards all within just a few minutes walk/drive. The cottage was so comfortable. A great place to unwind even more after a day full of unwinding. The kids (adult) think this should be an annual event. I agree!

Peaceful and perfect Sonoma getaway!

Great place, very nicely appointed. The backyard was so nice to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening or a cup of coffee in the morning. Walking distance to several tasting rooms and wineries, including our new favorite, B Wise. It was just the two of us this time but the house would be great for 4-5 people. We will return!!

Beautiful, modern home in a great location

This house is beautiful, clean, and updated. Mary was very nice and accommodating. The house was very spacious and comfortable for my group of 4. The backyard has a great grill and outdoor area. You even have your own little vineyard in the yard. My friends and I were looking for a great house close to vineyards and this house was perfect. Definitely book here if you want a great house when visiting the Sonoma/Napa area.

We loved this home!!!

Every 12 hours one of the three of us would exclaim, "This house is so perfect!" :). The remodeled interior, the well-appointed kitchen, the comfy beds, the happy-colored decor ... PLUS the backyard view, we loved this spot. Quiet neighborhood. Easy walking-distance tasting rooms ... we really never went beyond a two-mile circle!!! Ha. Be aware the very few shopping opportunities are closed MonTue ... if you want to book outside of that. Note: Embarrassingly, locking back door and coffee pot required the manual ... luckily we are seasoned VRBOers and manual enthusiasts. :))). Thx for that, Mary.

Going to Sonoma? Stay here!

If you're going to Sonoma (and you should, because it is spectacularly beautiful and interesting), you absolutely should consider staying at Mary's house. Mary is very helpful and responsive. The house is sparkling clean and large, and the interior is very nice. It is on a lovely, large property that can be used for outside meals or just lounging. The Kenwood neighborhood is fascinating and you'll enjoy just walking around it. The location is great for seeing the rest of Sonoma. We made friends at the Mayo Winery, which is in walking distance and offers great wines. We definitely will return. I'd give this house 10 stars if I could.

Clean, comfy house

Very good communication with owner. Lovely kitchen and we really enjoyed the backyard with the fire pit. Large bathroom with plenty of hot water. We would have liked a little map of the town Kenwood listing the wineries. We did not find that many were within walking distance and spent a lot of money on ubers during our stay. It is located about 45 minutes to Napa and 30 to Sonoma. Each one-way taxi/uber was between $75-$150. Great Mexican place 2 blocks away, though. Quiet neighborood, felt safe and relaxed.

Great stay!

Mary's home was immaculate for our Kenwood trip. It exceeded all of our needs and expectations even with our active toddlers...the home provided a safe place with a gorgeous kitchen with everything you could ever need to cook and have a nice dinner. The beds were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was spa-like and beautiful. We didn't get to enjoy the backyard as much due to the rain although I can only imagine how wonderful it will be come Spring, Summer with the peach tree, grape vines and herb garden. One of the best parts about Mary's home is the location. It is two blocks from the wineries, namely VJB and the Mayo Reserve Room....great places for gelato, pizza and of course wine :) Less than a mile (driving) from our favorite winery, Kunde. The best compliment we can give is to say we would stay there again without hesitation.

Perfect

Booked for a short visit to wine country for my wife and I. From booking to check out, it couldn't have gone better. I am a 31 year hotel professional and the last place I want to stay when I am on vacation is ....... a hotel! Mary the owner was very prompt to answer questions and make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. It was such a pleasure at the end of the day to come back to a peaceful house with a beautiful yard, big well appointed kitchen and a grill. In spite of all the great restaurants in that area we chose to cook at the house four of the five nights just because it was so relaxing. Location was perfect for our day trips as we went in a different direction each day but nothing we wanted to see in wine country (Napa, Sonoma Coast, Russian River, Calistoga) was more than about a 30 minute drive. We expect to stay there again and highly recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Mary

Host profile image
My husband and I are hard working people who had a dream to own a vacation home in wine country. Maybe we will be fortunate enough to retire there someday.

Why they chose this property

We adore great food and wine and there is an abundance of it within walking distance of our home. The quaint town of Kenwood offered us everything we were looking for in a wine country retreat - peace & quiet, a central location and sublime landscapes
