A perfect getaway

We loved Kersten and David’s place in a quiet neighborhood near Jack London Park and within walking distance of some small wineries. The home was clean, comfortable, and very well appointed. We had everything we could possibly need - plus an awesome back yard to relax with our dog!

Perfect retreat

With my French bulldog, went to wine country to relax and celebrate my new job. This house was exactly what I was looking for: - private hot tub - spacious backyard with lots of lovely little areas to hang out - backyard is completely fenced in so I can relax with my pup - great linens, towels, body soap, and spa robe (not the cheapo stuff) - easy parking - quiet and safe neighborhood - great heater (goodbye summer, hello autumn) - super functional kitchen, had everything I needed for making breakfast - very close to hiking trail with pup and great restaurants 💯 will stay here again. I need to figure out how to save this listing in the VRBO app 😎

Idyllic and Quiet. Sooo Quiet.

The backyard is a paradise. Three huge oaks canopy 90% of the backyard. Seating left and right, front and back. The spa was pristine. Heavenly. The inside was very well appointed. We couldn't stop ourselves from pointing out to each other how nice all of the fixtures were. The shower, the baths, the kitchen, wow!, the place just popped with class and charm. Out front we had room for two cars in the driveway, plus two more on the street (if needed). Fabulous!

Cute and CLEAN house with ginormous backyard

This was my 6th year coming to the Sonoma area to wine taste. We have always stayed in a VRBO during these trips. This was definitely one of my favorites! The house was clean and well stocked - down to having nice toiletries in the showers! Even the outdoor shower! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and grill. The beds were super comfortable and I think I liked the pillow better than mine at home…might need to get the details on that! You can tell someone really cares for this home. The towels and sheets smelled like fresh laundry and were very refreshing. Can’t wait to reserve our next stay!

Couples trip to Sonoma

Such a wonderful time at this property in Sonoma! The house is just as listed/pictured and perfectly comfortable for 2 couples with plenty of privacy and common space that is very well laid out. We loved enjoying the backyard space after a day of touring the area, it's so comfortable and relaxing to be able to spread out and enjoy the beautiful weather and watch the massive hawks in the trees above. Communication with our hosts was always a quick reply as well. The house is in a traditional neighborhood which is very quiet. We loved the location most of all because it's really a quick drive into Sonoma center as well as the vineyards further North and there are several very nice restaurants less than 10 minutes away. I would not hesitate to stay here again, if you are interested and enjoy quiet, homey accommodations with an easy drive to wineries and shopping this is definitely the place to stay. Thanks for your hospitality!

Piece of Paradise

Our stay was absolutely fabulous. While the neighborhood initially seemed a bit unkempt, once we looked closer, the houses were darling and the yards were natural and free. Our little house was immaculate, had everything we could possibly have wanted (even a complimentary bottle of wine) and the back yard was one to praise. Hot tub was glorious and we were close to wineries as well as our favorite which was Jack London's HIstoric Park. Our hosts were available should problems arise and were very ready to make sure our stay was exemplary. Highly recommend!!

Great spot for a girls’ getaway

My friends and I really enjoyed staying here for our Sonoma wine adventure. The location is excellent (there are several wineries within walking distance) and tranquil. Downtown Sonoma was a short drive away and there was lots to do close by. The space itself was ideal for us; we didn’t feel cramped. We enjoyed the fireplace and the hot tub (and robes!) as well as the cute neighborhood and pretty garden in the back. It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city yet close to such picturesque little cafes and wineries. I appreciated how well furnished the kitchen was: we loved making loose leaf tea every morning with the host-provided tea pot. And of course, there were wine glasses (and other dishes) aplenty. My friends asked me several times how I managed to snag such a neat rental, and we are already hoping to return and stay here again!

Perfect wine country cottage

We absolutely LOVED this house. Equipped with everything we could need for a spot to call home while we toured wine country. The backyard was an amazing spot with lots of space to enjoy dinner and drinks. Hot tub before bed was a great wind down. The hosts did an outstanding job of decorating and providing a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended and would stay again.

Great home for a Sonoma getaway

We had a wonderful experience at the Glen Ellen House! The vibrant decor, well-stocked kitchen, spacious yard for our dogs, comfortable beds, and heated bathroom floor all are great features. It's lovely that the location works well for day trips and served as our home base for exploring the wine country.

A True Gem!!

We had the pleasure of staying here for two nights. Such a perfect little house! Exceptionally clean and bright and a great location near downtown Sonoma. Lots of thought went into providing all the little things a guest might need. Beautiful backyard and lots of outdoor seating to relax in. One of the best places we've rented through VRBO! Hoping to come back next summer!

Awesome!!!

We absolutely loved staying in this home. We were here for a wedding weekend, so we didn't get to spend as much time at the home as we would have liked to. The backyard is lovely. Beautiful trees, large, comfortable outdoor furniture, and the jacuzzi was a nice bonus. I highly recommend this property and I hope to have a reason to come back again soon.

Tranquil spot

Everything was as shown in the listing. The hubbies loved the hot tub. My husband also loved the outdoor shower. Wonderfully appointed cottage home, perfect for our short getaway for a friend’s wedding. I had no cellular reception until I entered the home and got on the wifi so thankfully I had forwarded the entry instructions to my friend beforehand and she was able to get us in. Note: you may want to screen shot the entry instructions in case you’re like me and don’t have cellular service in Glen Ellen.

Fantastic Wine Country cottage

We arrived to a nice bottle of wine to enjoy on the beautiful back deck. The back yard was very peaceful and beautiful, and the hot tub was amazing to sit in and enjoy the surroundings. All are as advertised in the pictures! The location of the house was perfect driving distance to the local wineries. For a day trip to Napa, we were arranged a driver, which was great and convenient from pickup to drop-off. Communication, check-in and check-out process via the owners was simple and worry-free. I will definitely be visiting again, and hope to stay here in the future!

It takes only an hour from the Golden Gate to get here.
There are so many activities- you can enjoy wine tasting, eat at some of the best restaurants, hike, bike, play golf, enjoy a day at the Sonoma Inn or the Kenwood Spa. Shopping is always fun around the square in Sonoma..and of course you can just kick up your feet in our beautiful shaded garden with a good book and a glass of local wine!

What makes this property unique

This little house is cozy and comfortable with a beautiful garden. Everything is there for your comfort and convenience:
Two well appointed bed rooms with queen beds and luxury cotton linens, fresh robes and slippers are waiting. One bedroom has an en-suite bath with a shower. The other bath is located right next to the second bedroom. Both bathrooms have been recently remodeled.
There is a nice queen size travel bed, that can be set up in the living room, if you need additional beds.
A fully equipped kitchen with gas stove, microwave, blender, coffee maker, wine opener(very important!) and even a picnic basket. We do supply coffee and tea for you. There are spices and cooking basics in the pantry.
