About this property

Beautiful Wine Country Retreat w/ New Pool & Kitchen, Game Room Barn & Views!

My home is perfect for a family, 2-3 couples, or a friends
getaway to celebrate a birthday, wedding, bachelorette party, anniversary or other special occasion!

A short 5 minute drive from downtown Sonoma, this home is located in the coveted east side of town and
centrally located to many wineries in both Napa and Sonoma. The home was purchased and completely refurnished in 2012 with new beds, appliances, sofas, furniture, etc. including a remodeled barn for entertainment, new flagstone patio, pergola, new hardwood floors, and freshly painted bedrooms. We recently completely renovated in 2017 the kitchen and bathroom and pool! The new kitchen is well-equipped with pots, pans, serving platters, dishes, etc. Both bathrooms include walk-in showers. There's a large flat screen TV in the living room, flat screen in the master, and Blueray/DVD player in the living room with cable service including HBO. There's also WiFi (Wireless Internet) and a Sonos stereo system that allows you to control music from your phone or laptop and has two separate music areas (1 inside and 1 outside by the pool). The barn is recently remodeled and is outfitted with ping pong, darts, a pool table, foosball, stereo, and sofa. We have a blast out there!

Walking into the front door you'll immediately notice the openness of the floor plan, with a kitchen that opens up to the large living room that flows into the spacious dining room, making for a 'great room' for entertaining. The outdoor pool and patio is located off of the dining room and is equipped with a dining table, lounge chairs, a pergola for shade, and a festive string of outdoor lights set on a dimmer, perfect for eating, relaxing and entertaining. There is a second deck with a brand new hot tub (2014) and outdoor speakers. The gorgeous views from the outdoor area are towards the west and north (primarily to the west) with open fields, vineyards, a horse ranch and
mountains in the distance. The 3 bedrooms are located on the other side of the house, comprised of a master bedroom with king bed, tv, private bath (incl. walk-in shower), and private deck, and two guest rooms both
with queen beds that share a full (new) bathroom.

The perfect place

From check in to check out Patrick, the property manager was over the top. He went above and beyond the limits of a manager. The house exceeded our expectations. The pool, hot tub and game barn were everything we needed. This is about 5 min from Sonoma square. Do yourself a favor and book it and don’t miss Gundlach Bundschu Winery. It’s only 2-3 min from the house!

A beautiful property in a perfect location. Excellent communication from the owner and property manager. Everything was clean and in perfect condition. Would definitely recommend and return to this property again. Last time we visited, we stayed in Napa, but I now feel that this is a better location. Just minutes away from Sonoma Square.

Don't let the houses on the road deter you from renting this gem. Great house and only 5 minutes to downtown Sonoma. The kitchen is well stocked, beds very comfortable and a fabulous outdoor space. Property manager was easy to get a hold of and responded quickly.

Perfect vacation rental

This home was perfect for our wine country vacation! The game barn was great after a day of hiking or wine tasting! The kitchen was well equipped! The pool area was so pretty and very peaceful and private! The road to Sonoma is a bit busy for walking but it is a quick drive and there is plenty of parking! The owner’s instructions and communication were the best we have ever experienced through VRBO! Would definitely return!

Girls weekend

We are a group of 5 lifelong friends who meet every year to catch up! This house was the most perfect location! Very comfortable atmosphere and the house was well stocked. Furniture and beds all very comfortable. One night we cooked/bbq’d and sat outside in the beautiful yard. We enjoyed the hot tub and game barn as well. Took some time to shop at the square and did wine tasting at Gun-Bun which was so close. There is something for everybody. Thank you Seth and Patrick for having us. We already can’t wait to return. Many fun memories made.

Sonoma Getaway

Seth's place is perfect for a family gathering. The home is clean and well appointed with plenty of space inside and outside for our group of 8. Plenty of kitchen supplies for us to prepare a Thanksgiving feast. Washer and dryer, and outdoor grill were a big plus. The barn was a hit with everyone, and we spent hours playing ping pong, billiards, darts, and foosball. Location was great, with easy access to Sonoma Square. Less than 30 min drives to Napa, Yountville, St. Helena, and Petaluma, and about an hour drive to Bodega Bay. Very good communication with Seth, and Patrick the neighbor who helps oversee the property. We did not use the hot tub (initially not functional due to recent heavy rains, but fixed halfway through our stay), or the pool (too cold). Small unpaved road access to the house is very tricky to find at first, especially coming in from Napa. Would absolutely stay here again.

The property and the house were wonderful! We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the outdoor patio was heavenly. The house was well-equipped and beautifully set up for us and provided a quiet respite to our busy days on the bike and hiking. The location was gret, not far from downtown Sonoma and within in a 30 minute drive of most hikes and bike outings we enjoyed. Would definitely come agin and the property manager ws fantastic, as well!

Amazing Vacation Home

This property is truly amazing. We stopped in Sonoma in the middle of a two week trip across the west. This property is located within a 5 min drive to Sonoma Town Center. It is walkable to wineries and is located on a private quiet drive. The house is lovely. It is clean and has everything you need to make your stay feel like home. The true gem of the property is the outside space. The pool is perfect. It is heated so was warm enough for our kids to spend a lot of time in. The outside furniture is very comfortable to relax in. The hot tub was a definite plus when the sun went down and it got chilly. The view is beautiful and the barn is just to best. Our kids would get up early to run out to the barn to play ping pong, pool, darts or foosball. We had a hiccup with the original house we were supposed to stay in at the last minute. The property owners were so wonderful to help us out so we had a place to stay. They were wonderful throughout the trip and are very responsive. We would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect for Girls’ Getaway

What a perfect place to celebrate my 40th birthday! Ideal location (private, but close to all the offerings of Sonoma and Napa), spacious (more than enough room for our group of 6, and great entertaining spaces), and the backyard is a destination of its own—we especially enjoyed the hot tub on cooler evenings. Would love to return!

Great location, great game barn

This home was great for our 3 couple trip to Sonoma. Perfect location and lots to do at the home with the game barn and hot tub. Pros: large kitchen, living room and entertaining space. Great location for our Sonoma wine tour. Cons: hot tub needs some repair and deep cleaning. Towels could be replaced. Game barn needs a cleaning.

Sonoma Sanctuary

This house was very comfortable and well appointed. We had everything we needed and everything worked well, from the bikes, to the pool, and the outdoor grill. It felt very private, yet close to downtown Sonoma and many wineries. We appreciated all the “dos and don’ts” in the house book, as well as all the great suggestions. The pool was especially nice and inviting since we had 4+ days of 100” weather! Seth was particularly kind and patient, and responded promptly to our questions about the TV. The barn looked quite fun, but frankly it was too hot to really use it. We would definitely stay here again!
