About this property

Stunning West Sonoma Retreat with Spectacular Pool, Gardens and Views

After looking at hundreds of properties as a guest in Sonoma County and deciding that very few of them were the modern, stylish place that we wanted to stay in, we decided to create our own. In doing so, we incorporated natural materials, plants, beautiful furniture, and lots of light everywhere in our home.

The resulting property is a beautiful, private, modern 3-bedroom retreat with everything you could want for a luxury vacation in wine country, or a perfect place for a longer term stay. You first approach the house via a long driveway that ensures privacy and ends in parking for 5 cars. The front of the house is beautifully landscaped and lit up at night.

The house has Nest security cameras, smoke/CO2 detectors, and a Nest thermostat. It also has a Ring doorbell as well as an August lock and keypad to make getting in and out of the house a breeze. We have gigabit cable internet and enterprise-class wifi that covers nearly all the usable space indoors and out, making working from home a breeze. We have installed a UV water filter, as well as have a reverse-osmosis water tap in the kitchen sink. We have a solar array and battery backup. The house has MERV-13 hospital grade HVAC filters, and HEPA filter units in the main living area and all bedrooms.

The living room has comfortable seating for 6 and is equipped with a giant 70-inch 4k Samsung TV, Sonos surround sound, Xfinity cable, and a Roku for all your streaming needs. There is also a gas fireplace that is perfect for chilly nights. A wall of sliding glass doors open to the wraparound patio behind the house, providing stunning views of the Blucher Creek valley and its hills, farms, forests, ponds, and vineyards, and of course, our lovingly designed pool, hot tub, and gardens. We love to cook, so we've outfitted the kitchen with everything you should need to make a gourmet meal using any of the amazing ingredients you can find in our local markets. There is a formal dining room with seating for 6-8.

Upstairs are the three king bedrooms and two full bathrooms, one of which is convertible to two twins upon request. All bedrooms have incredibly comfortable mattresses, sheets, and pillows, an alarm clock, a floor fan for both air circulation and white noise, luggage racks, and USB-enabled outlets. The first floor also has a den with a comfortable, pull-out queen couch, a desk for working with a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, and French doors that close this space off as a private, flexible 4th bedroom.

A walk down the stairs leads to our stunning pool, hot tub, and pool house. The pool has a retractable safety cover. The first half of the pool is a 11-inch deep Baja shelf that is perfect for wading and lounging. Steps lead down to the deeper end, where there are also relaxing benches built into the side walls. Six lounge chairs and several umbrellas are perfect for relaxing. The year-round hot tub is physically separate from the pool and seats 8. It's available during the winter, as well, for those nights you want to relax and gaze up at the stars. The pool house is a converted shipping container and is nearly half windows. It has an outdoor shower attached to one side as well as and a custom-fabricated steel arbor to provide shade. There's also a large patio with a grill, and an additional dining area.

Please note the pool house interior is being renovated due to some major leaks that happened from the unbelievable 30” of rain we received this winter, so it is unavailable for use at this time. We have weekly gardening and pool service that comes to keep everything clean, pristine, and working for you, so please keep in mind you may see some workers there on Thursday or Friday mornings.

Our entire property has been expertly landscaped with local flora. We have various fruit trees on the property, including lemons, limes, apples, and Asian pears, as well as a grape arbor with Concord and flame red grapes. Please feel free to use items from gardens!

We love our West Sonoma Home, and look forward to welcoming you as our guests.

Fantastic home in Sebastopol!

This is by far our favorite home we've stayed in in Sebastopol. The pool is perfectly designed for littles who haven't fully learned how to swim as there is a very shallow "platform" area in the pool where they can walk or sit in the water. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous and the grapes were ripe enough to eat. The home itself was great and had supplies for toddlers including a pack n' play. Definitely will stay here again in the future!

Amazing stay in bucolic Sebastopol

We loved our extended stay on Bloomfield Road. Far from the bus tour chaos of Sonoma, we enjoyed the meditative drives through farmland, the weekly farmers market and local bike paths. Terrific local restaurants and just 25 mins from the ocean on warm days. Laureen and Jonathan were impeccable hosts and the views and pool are to die for.

Wonderful stay

One of the best properties we’ve stayed at from the cleanliness, attention to detail, good amount of supplies and amenities. The beautiful landscape in the backyard and views are unmatched. The pool was excellent (pay for it to get heated, it’s worth it!). They had floaties and pool noodles available which was a nice surprise. The area lost power for a few hours and we didn’t even notice since the backup generator kicked in! Also, good location!

Beautiful home in a quiet country setting

My daughters and I had a girls’ trip and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful home and wonderful pool area. The pictures on VRBO are accurate, but they do not reflect the beautiful view of the land that you get from most of the windows, the deck and the pool area! The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. The home was clean. It is a very quiet neighborhood and there was plenty of privacy to just enjoy our time together and relax. We all agreed that we want to come back to this property for our next girls’ trip. Laureen the property manager and even the owner himself were quick with communication as needed which was greatly appreciated.

The home is clean and well kept. Luxury fixtures and furnishings, quiet, inviting and family friendly. The deers and their fawns visit in the earlier mornings. Backyard views are relaxing. The pool/hot made it feel as if we were at a resort. Owner is very accommodating and helpful. We will be back next year!

Wonderful stay in Sebastopol!

Everything was lovely! The house, the property, the pastoral view complete with cows and horses! Every detail was considered- a full pantry with spices, flour, etc and every cooking utensil (the only thing we couldn’t find was a garlic press!) comfy beds, shampoos and lotions, delicious homemade granola from Laureen, flowers on the table to welcome us. Well done!! We would definitely come back to Bloomfield😊

Can’t wait to go back!

This property is exactly as described in the listing and it’s perfect. The house is decorated and laid out extremely well and after an initial trip into town (only about a 10min drive) we had no need to leave. The kitchen is well stocked with all the appliances you will need and there was even a little snack basket to get us through making our grocery list. The views are gorgeous. The pool is beautiful. The rooms are all very comfortable whether you’re cooking, lounging or sleeping. We are already planning to come back again next year. Can’t recommend enough!

Family time in Sonoma

My Family and i rented this lovely home for a family wedding. The house it’s self is great, big and spacious. Everything you need is provided by the homeowners. The back yard is beautiful! Unfortunately we were unable to use the pool. The jacuzzi was nice. The pool house would be great if you were able to use the bathroom instead of trekking back up to the house. But overall beautiful home and property!

All you need and more! Don't pass on this house!

Before we even got to the house the communication with the host was quick and easy. This house was the last of 4 stops on our journey along the coast. We walked into a clean, modern, comfy home. The house was decorated as if in a magazine, but comfy enough to be lived in. Clean is an understatement. The grounds, all of our favorite, were amazing. The plants were amazing and so well manicured. The pool and hot tub were perfect! The view!!! The beds and pillows were so comfy! We enjoyed the town of Sebastapol so much! The house is centrally located to enjoy the wines of Napa, Sonoma, and Healdsburg! I can't say enough about this host and house. I hope to be back soon, we will definitely rent this house again and again! Thank you Jonathan! You have a gem and you can tell you are passionate about taking the best care of the home and your guests!! Thank you again!!!

A Fabulous Experience - Beautiful Setting and Location

What a fabulous property and location! I cannot say enough about how enjoyable this home is. It is so well equipped and comfortable. The setting is lovely and the landscaping is so well done. While we were too early in the season to use the pool – we were able to use the hot tub a few times – so nice. There were basically 2-4 of us in the house – except for one weekend we had six folks. Accommodated everyone very well. I cannot leave a review without calling out Laureen and Jonathan. They take great pride in this property (and should do) and were super responsive in answering any questions that we had. Laureen is a joy and helped make our stay even more enjoyable! We will be back -

Just a few months after our stay in 2021, we re-booked for 2022. Our teen girls were very excited to see Laureen's homemade granola upon arrival again (it is really that good) and she even texted with local farm U-Pick options and tips to secure slots, which book up super quickly. The house and grounds are just so relaxing, complete with super cute wildlife. Thanks for another lovely stay, Jonathan!

This home is everything you think it would be and more! The view is incredible, the kitchen has everything you need plus some, and Laureen was extremely accommodating. The location feels much more remote than it is and the proximity to the Barlow district was perfect for delicious food and drinks. All rooms were spacious, the whole house is infused with technology, and my son loved eating grapes right off the vine in the backyard. We look forward to future stays!

Bloomfield was a dream

We brought our 2 kids and stayed at the Bloomfield house for a month and we couldn’t say more about how wonderful our stay was. The house was equipped with all modern conveniences - enough for a family of 4 to work and school from home 5 days a week with no internet or WiFi issues. The kitchen was a dream to cook in and when the weather was right, spending our time at the grill and use of the hot tub was a major plus. The shining star of our stay were the views. The view of the valley, overlooking the farms and vineyards was the best way to start and end each day. To top it all off Laureen and JT were great hosts. Very attentive to our needs and made sure our stay was comfortable. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan Taylor

Host profile image
Our home was originally renovated just for us as our escape from the city. Shortly after we finished the project, work took us to NYC, and we decided to share our home with others so they could enjoy it in our stead.

We love hosting as it's truly been wonderful and a pleasure to provide others with an excellent experience while they are traveling. We've had a number of pretty awful experiences with home sharing ourselves, and we have committed to being different. We grew up in restaurant families, so hospitality is in our blood, and it's a joy to share something we created with others!

Why they chose this property

Besides being the birthplace of the California wine movement, it's now home to over 425 wineries, and even more great places to eat. We knew we wanted to buy a home somewhere in Sonoma County, and looked for almost a year until we found Bloomfield. We've always loved the natural beauty of the Sonoma Valley, and love how close it is to San Francisco, making for a very easy weekend getaway.

What makes this property unique

We were struck by the openness of the property, perched on a hill with beautiful views of pastures, rolling hills, and wineries from the rear of the home. We knew with some work, we could turn the space into something people would enjoy as much as we do. It is comfortable, yet still modern, and we tried to add many thoughtful touches and additions that make this feel like a private, peaceful country home away from home.

The backyard pool and gardens are really a showpiece in and of itself, and we spent a lot of time crafting the perfect sanctuary back there, and continue to improve it over time. Many guests have remarked that it's the favorite part of their stay!

We also keep up with maintenance and regularly refurbish items and update things throughout the property - we care about the home and reinvest a lot of our earnings into it so it remains an excellent place to stay and not something that just looks good in photos taken 5 years ago.
