About this property

Glen Ellen Getaway With Pool, Garden, Views, Location!

Your Country House is in the geographic center of The Valley of the Moon (what Jack London named Sonoma Valley), near Old Glen Ellen, just South of Kenwood and North of the historic Sonoma Plaza. The best place to stay in all of Sonoma Valley.

You are literally surrounded by world class wineries, dining, spas, history and nature. It is a great getaway year round.

A few of the wineries within 2 minutes of the house: Abbot's Pass, Benzinger, Hamel, Eric Ross, BR Cohn, Imagery, Arrowwood, Mayo, Little Family, Laurel Glen and Paint Horse.

Even though you will be surrounded by famous sites, once you get to the house you may not want to go anywhere. Enjoy the Pool, hot tub, gardens and fire pit. Relax in one of many cozy outdoor spots with a good book. If you like to cook - help yourself to whatever is in season in the garden and plan your menu! Instacart and Prime Now can deliver whatever other ingredients you need within a couple hours.

Hike to the most beautiful parts of the Jack London State Park straight from the house, no need to drive or go for a run around Lake Suttonfield - a 5 minute walk away. Practice yoga under the wisteria pergola or get a workout gardening!

Enjoy coffee on the back deck and the Sunrise over the Mayacamas Mountains. In the evening, glass of wine in hand, watch the Sunset over Heaven Hill from the pool!

Relax at night in the Hot Tub and Stargaze- the country night is so dark that many more stars are visible to the naked eye than in the city.

Most kids of any age find plenty of ways to keep busy. There are many outdoor toys of different types (and conditions!) on site. The cleaning service will not take care of them but a quick rinse with the hose is all they need and most kids are happy. There are Pool toys and floats, push toys, ride on toys, gardening toys and more. Kids like to race around the winding pathways on scooters and little ones enjoy the small playhouse. There are some books, puzzles and inside toys as well. The kitchen has all the kid cutlery, plates etc you will need so leave yours at home! We love families and welcome yours!

Beautiful house, inconsiderate host

The house is beautiful however the stars lost are because the host has no customer service skills. Check-in was clunky. I texted to receive the check in code information from the host directly as there was not much information shared in writing prior. Cleaners were still there when we arrived so we waited outside for them to finish.We were promised 3 full bathrooms, when we arrived to the property, there were only 2 full bathrooms due to the 3rd bathroom still being under construction. We were told this right before we arrived. 2 showers for 7 girls was a lot to juggle.My friend ended up slipping and falling in the pool house bathroom due to the rain and slippery tiles and having to frequently go outside due to lack of showers provided inside the house.The host responded defensively and with aggression to the feedback I shared. She eerily said that she had been watching us on her cameras and saw that the check in was "fine". She insinuated that I was lying. It was surprising because she was lovely at first and had shared recommendations on places to go. Her demeanor completely changed when having a conversation around the issues that we had been having.I never received any sort of refund even though the property was not as advertised. She has not followed up with me to make this right or apologize for her aggression and attitude over the phone. It was such a fun trip with friends to celebrate me getting married and dealing with her was the worst part of it.

We enjoyed our stay! The kitchen had everything we needed. The outdoor space is great. Our favorite was the hottub! Nice and big to fit all 9 of us! Host was very helpful and available! We loved the local restaurant “The Mill” and the village market was perfect! It had everything we needed!

Secure, private family home with large garden, pool and hot tub, unfortunately for us the hot tub was out of order but the host arranged for a maintenance call quickly. Local village of Glen Ellen is very quaint, there is a lot of history in the area……

Beautiful home! Great for a large group

We stayed at this Glen Ellen getaway for 3 nights celebrating my sister. We were able to comfortably sleep 9 adults. The house had everything we need. We stayed in one night and had a private chef dinner outside on the large wooden table under the string lights. It was a beautiful setting. The pool and hot tub are also amazing. Nights were cold so we ended up spending a lot of time in the hot tub! Overall, this was the perfect house for what we needed! The host was super communicative, helpful, and responsive.

Family time with 3 generations

Our annual family tripled us to Glen Ellen. We chose this property for the location, the pool and all the outdoor space. We were not disappointed. Our host, Jen was so wonderful with the communication about everything. When I did have a question, she promptly got back with me. She had wonderful suggestions of where to go and what to do. Honestly we enjoyed the property so much that we hardly left. Pool days and outdoor dinners led to the perfect environment! Our dogs were thrilled with the fenced in large property too!! Our 3rd annual trip just might be right back here!

Great space with large yard and pool

We stayed for a week at this house about 5 minutes south of Glen Ellen with my nearly 90 year old mother and brother for our annual family summer getaway. The space is lovely, with a big pool (not heated) and hot tub, grass areas, lots of seating, big back yard with large dining table and fire pit. We mostly used the pool and decks due to stairs to the backyard which my mom couldn’t navigate. There is a ramp near the front which works for handicapped. The beds were comfortable and Jen was easy to communicate with. We had some glitches with the tv (error message on smart tv so couldn’t get reception for two days) and with the bbq (no propane, doesn’t get hot enough). She’s been made aware and is looking to fix it. With a few minor updates, this place would be spectacular. Close to many wineries, about 20 minutes to Sonoma, hiking.

Family Getaway Fun

Our stay in Glen Ellen was absolutely perfect. The house provided all we needed for a base of operations as we explored Sonoma and Napa valleys. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, and space for all family members to enjoy themselves. Our nine year old was particularly taken by the pool, which provided hours of fun during the summer heat, while adults lounged on one of the many outdoor chairs or soaked in the hot tub. If you've never been to Glen Ellen, it proved a delightful hamlet to spend the week, with good restaurants, a well stocked grocery store, and plenty of wineries to visit. Honestly, we barely scratched the surface of what the region had to offer during our five days. Though, we did fall in love with Kunde Winery (just a short drive away) and would recommend them to anyone who believes a good tasting should be accompanied by charcuterie. It also can't go unsaid how incredibly helpful the host was. She gave us a ton of good ideas about activities for adults and children... and you could tell she was honestly committed to the enjoyment of her guests. If you're looking for a place to stay with a couple of families or just one big family, this is a really great choice.

Wonderful getaway

We had a great time at the glen ellen getaway. We were 6 adults and 4 kids (8-11) there to celebrate my mother in law’s 80th birthday, and the house was perfect for us. The kids (and adults) loved the pool and the slide and we all had fun exploring the area…a hike in Jack London state park, wineries and the very cute glen ellen market. The host was very communicative, and gave us tons of recommendations before we arrived, and was available if we had any questions while we were there. We will definitely go back sometime again.

Girls Weekend

Look no further for your family gathering or girls weekend. This property is beautiful and you can see and feel the love put into it. Not only did we have fun hot tubing and cold plunging in the pool but we laid pool side and snacked on the side deck while playing games. Coffee time with the sunrise over the property and all of the beautiful birds was a must for us. Jen was an incredible host helping us find hikes from the house that were perfect for us. You’re close enough to walk to glen ellen and also close enough for a short drive to Sonoma. Long story short if you can book this property do it. You won’t regret it. Thank you for all your hospitality, Jen! Your space made my birthday wonderful!

Wine Country Retreat

There were 8 of us and the house was big enough for all. Unfortunately, it was a very rainy weekend so we weren't able to take advantage of the large yard and all it had to offer. The property is beautiful. We all said we'd like to come back in late Spring or summer to see the yard in all its glory. Very centrally located. Jenn was very helpful. And for people with children, this would be a fantastic place for the kiddos.

21st Birthday and Thanksgiving week

Jen was amazing to work with. She responded to communication quickly and went above and beyond to provide some extras that made our week spectacular. The home accommodated 9 of us very comfortably. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook Thanksgiving dinner. The yard offered fresh herbs, lemons and Granny Smith apples we incorporated in our dishes. The whole experience was so special as we enjoyed dinner under the pergola. Lots of great outdoor seating areas. Highly recommend.

The property is very spacious and comfortable, even for a large family (4 adults, 3 kids). The kids loft was very nice, and enjoyed thoroughly by our kids. All the amenities were as advertised. Pool and waterslide were amazing, and it was really great for hot summer afternoons in Sonoma. Jen was a great host, and was very easy to reach with any questions we had during our stay.

Rainy days in California

My family of 6 adults and 4 small children met in Glen Ellen for our first reunion in 2.5 years! Unfortunately, it rained steadily over most of our stay which put a huge damper on our activities. We spent most of our time at the house which accommodated our crew very comfortably. We cooked and relaxed and were thankful for a well appointed kitchen!

Great Family Retreat!

We enjoyed having the use of this lovely property for an early Christmas with our California family. It was perfect for us. We cooked in, laughed, shared stories and there was lots of love in that house. Jen put up Christmas decorations for us, and it felt homey. The yard is in its winter phase and it was cold outside, so we didn’t make much use of the outdoor amenities. We can’t wait to go back when the garden is flourishing and everything is in bloom.

About the host

Hosted by Jen Hughes

Host profile image
We have many fond memories of our kids and their friends enjoying our "Crunchy" house (3 year old Sam couldn't say "Country" so "Crunchy" stuck!). From Easter Egg hunts to carving pumpkins grown on the property, stargazing and pool parties, Fall harvests (we make our own olive oil) and spring plantings - there are lots of ways for kids (and adults) to get dirty and have some good old fashioned fun at the place. We love sharing our house with guests and want everyone to have a great time and make wonderful memories like we have... and continue to do!

Why they chose this property

It is the geographic center of Sonoma Valley so the best location to easily reach any of its world class wineries, activities, concerts, events, film festivals which are scheduled year round.

Due to its many unique microclimates and significant terrain differences Sonoma Valley has 425 wineries within its 30 square miles. It is both the oldest wine region in the state and has the most diverse selection of wine grapes (60 varietals).

Despite its world class status, with many celebrities choosing it as their home, it has remained rural and down to earth in character. All people are welcomed equally and you can dress up as little or as much as you like and feel completely comfortable.

The valley is full of history and includes a large natural Wildlife Corridor. Hiking paths into Jack London State Park and a local regional park start right at our front door.

There are many specialty shops and fantastic restaurants all within a couple minutes of the house.

In short we never run out of things to do and places to explore and it is enjoyable year round!

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location!

Large private property to stretch out in with many separate areas within to enjoy. A small orchard, a garden, lawn areas, a swinging large bench under an oak, views from many places on the property in both directions, nestled in the narrowest part of the valley between the two mountain ranges. Great microclimate keeping it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Great location yet private enough to feel like a true country getaway.
