Wine country luxury including executive chef & private resort amenities + SAUNA

Why compromise on service and luxury when seeking privacy and tranquility in wine country? With Sonoma Splendor, you simply don't have to. Five star service is included in our exclusive destination that coveys as more of a private resort than a traditional vacation home rental which often can end up providing a change of scenery in daily tasks such as grocery shopping, cooking, dishes and planning your itinerary by sorting through overwhelming lists of local talents to find the best resources.

Before and during your stay, leave the details and service to our exclusive property team of professionals. Arrive to a dedicated concierge, your own executive chef and surrounded by a private Pinot Noir vineyard overlooking sweeping and unobstructed views of Arrowhead Mountain.
This is an ultimate wine country oasis nestled at the base of Sonoma Valley, minutes from the Sonoma Plaza, while just over the knoll into the gateway of neighboring Napa Valley.

From luxury linens and housewares to a state-of-the-art whole house air purification system, this property was built to set the bar for comfort, convenience and luxury.

Couldn’t have stayed at a nicer place. Spacious, beautiful interior decor and grounds, including vineyard, pool and even goats… fantastic. Owner, Stacie is incredibly responsive and Chef Randy was amazing. Everyone in my party raved about him. Even gave an impromptu pasta making lesson! Couldn’t recommend more.

Great Stay at Sonoma Splendor

My wife and I and friends and family had a wonderful stay at Sonoma Splendor over BottleRock weekend. The home and setting was perfect in every way and the pickleball court was a big hit with everyone. Also, Chef Randy prepared amazing meals for our guests and generally kept everything running very smoothly at the house. The stay could not have been better!

Relaxing Winter Holiday Vacation

We had an amazing winter vacation at this home. It was a great property for families- the adults enjoyed the hot tub in the evening and the toddlers loved feeding the goats and playing on the basketball court! Fireplaces and fire pits across the property made the indoor and outdoor usable even in the chillier winter weather. Randy was a stand out chef, and all of Stacie’s recommendations in the area were perfect.

Splendor for Sure!

This was a perfect place for our girls weekend. The house is even more beautiful in person, and having a Personal Chef/Concierge was like having a nanny for adults! The architecture and esthetic of the home are wonderful ... and there are goats and roosters on the property to give it some Sonoma charm. I'm trying to figure out when I can go back again ; )

Absolute luxury describes this perfectly!

Our family group of seven people had an absolutely perfect stay at Sonoma Splendor in July. They even ordered us perfect weather. The house and grounds are beautiful, having a personal chef was AWESOME, and being able to feed the goats was everyone’s favorite way to end the day. Be sure to take advantage of the owner’s extensive knowledge and connections when it comes to wineries and restaurants. She was supremely helpful. This was worth every penny

5 star experience - This is what vacation should always feel like.

Our group of 6 adults had the best time at this gorgeous home which is EVERYTHING it says it is. We enjoyed relaxing at the house while admiring the serene beauty and found it to be a convenient location to launch all our wine country adventures. However the best parts about this vacation experience are the people. Stacie, the owner, helped create an itinerary introducing us to several amazing wineries and restaurants. The house manager and personal chef, Alana, provided luxury service with thoughtful attention to our needs and a few very memorable meals right there in the house. Ultimately, a stay at this beautiful home is like being spoiled by resort-quality concierge while enjoying privacy and tranquility in the middle of Sonoma's wine country.

Perfect birthday weekend!

Sonoma Splendor was the perfect birthday weekend for my husband! Randy (the fabulous chef) made us all feel welcomed and special. He worked with me to decide the first day meals, and then was incredibly flexible when my husband wanted coq au vin and basque cheesecake the second night. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the master bathroom is unbelievable! While we had planned to play pickleball on the court all weekend, we only had a few hours one day without downpour rain. But Stacie came to the rescue and last minute planned three amazing wine tasting options for us. We all felt taken care of, well-fed and pampered. Just perfect!

Sonoma Splendor - Spectacular

For my family vacation we had an amazing time. From the moment we arrived Chef Randy was waiting to greet us with wine and cheese. The house was decorated with beautiful fresh flowers. Our arrival was so special. Randy took fantastic care of us. We loved all his gourmet meals. Randy went above and beyond for my family. Thank you Randy. Thank you Stacie for all the details and making sure we had everything we needed. Your preferred vendor list was perfect. We had a great time at the beautiful wineries that you recommended. The property is gorgeous and was very comfortable for everybody. The pool and pickleball court gave us excellent recreational activities and feeding the goats was a thrill for the kids.

Spectacular Sonoma Retreat!

Our family spent one of our best Thanksgivings here. The home is perfect for 8 people & our group ranged from 5 to 85 years. All were thrilled. The design and condition of the home is on par with a 5 star hotel! The design incorporates modern lines with touches of local history all in one of the prettiest settings in Sonoma. The large windows bring the countryside in. The kitchen is fully equipped as are the bedrooms, bathrooms & entertainment centers. The kids loved the sports court. There is enough room to be all together or to find your own nook to read a book in. It is well located on a secluded hilltop yet only a 10 minute drive from the Sonoma Square. Stacie, the owner, is very welcoming and was available by phone for help throughout the stay, if needed. The property manager & chef, Lauren, was wonderful. She cared for all aspects of our stay from getting us set up with the hot tub & barbecue to cooking some truly spectacular meals. We are looking forward to renting here again!

A Perfect Blend of Luxury and Comfort for a Milestone Celebration

Our stay at Sonoma Splendor was an unforgettable experience, marking my wife's 40th birthday as truly special. From the moment we arrived, Randy welcomed us with the estate's Rosé, perfectly setting the tone for our celebration. The house not only offered breathtaking views but was immaculately prepared with local cheeses and our pre-ordered groceries already stocked. Randy, ever attentive, made sure our mornings started right with fresh coffee and even a quick run for McD Diet Coke to pair with our delicious Model Muffins. Opting for in-house dinners, Randy's culinary skills shone through each evening, allowing us to unwind in comfort after a day of wine tastings. His dishes were exceptional, and his willingness to cater to our every need did not go unnoticed. The layout of the house provided ample personal space, which was a haven of relaxation, especially around the pool and the much-loved hot tub. We cherished every moment spent at this luxurious property and are eagerly looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Randy and Stacie, for making our stay so seamless and memorable.

An absolute paradise!

Every detail of our time at Sonoma Splendor was five stars. We arrived greeted by the house manager for a full tour to ensure we knew all essential information to enjoy our time there. There were goodies in the fridge an a bottle of estate wine. The home was extremely comfortable in every way - the beds, couches, dining areas, and outdoors were all thoughtfully designed and high quality. Our kids loved feeding the goats, there was a good selections of games/toys and books to keep them entertained when they weren't in the pool so we could enjoy our time as adults relaxing and enjoying the world-class wine country view. Chef Randy was amazing and prepared our family absolutely delicious meals; on par with the meals we ate out at restaurants. Overall, we could not have asked for anything to be more perfect. We loved the sunrises and sunsets, the wide open space and privacy that made us feel like we have the whole world to ourselves. We can't wait to come back!
