About this property

Glen Ellen Stone Retreat. 5 bd 4.5 baths w/ pool, and hot tub

The Glen Ellen Stone Retreat, located in the heart of Sonoma Wine County in the quaint town of Glen Ellen. This creekside home is on a quiet private road walking distance to town center. Glen Ellen is home to restaurants with locally grown organic ingredients and family operated wineries. There are several tasting rooms and a gourmet grocery store within a 5 minute walk, or you can venture in any direction and you'll find world renown wineries.

Kenwood is an 8 minute drive and downtown Sonoma is 15-20 minutes away. Less than a mile from the front door is the Quarry Hill Botanical Garden. Spend the day hiking, horseback riding, and enjoying a picnic in nature at the Historical Jack London State Park located one mile from the house.

The 1.25 acre creekside property is private and quiet. The house is 3500 square feet offering many different places for groups to gather, inside and out. Three of the bedrooms have their own en suite bath; the other two bedroom share a bath right across the hall. The perimeter of the property is lined with redwood trees. The lack of neighboring lights makes the stars especially bright. Nestled among oaks is a unique insulated tree house for guests to enjoy. The chemical-free pool is heated via solar panels May-October.* Enjoy your evening in the hot tub under the stars.

* ** The pool is heated via solar panels seasonally, AVAILABLE ONLY May through October pending rain and outdoor temperature. Pool cushions are stored during the winter/rainy months typically November through April** Hot tub is hot and available year round!***

Our Recommendation!
Float in the fresh salt pool. Take a stroll along the creekside walking path. Play a fun filled game of tether ball beneath the trees or darts in the game room! Throw some burgers on the luxury BBQ. Relax poolside by the rushing waterfall while savoring some local wine. Later, enjoy a soak in the hot tub. Gaze up at all the bright stars. Sleep in our new beds with high thread count linens. Sleep like a stone.

Wonderful location and accommodations for a group

The house has a wonderful location close to vineyards. We so enjoyed the hot tub and pool after a day of wine tasting. We celebrated my friend’s 40th birthday and everyone throughly enjoyed the spacious accommodations and amenities the property has to offer. The property is a perfect mix of tranquility with the Japanese maple trees blended with activities (pool, hot tub and game room). We’d stay again in a heartbeat.

Great property!

The stay was perfect. Huge property with hot tub, pool, game room…even had a tree house! The inside was spacious with plenty of room for us to spread out comfortably. Walking distance to Glen Ellen, so it was easy for meals, coffee, and groceries. Will definitely stay here again!

Perfect Stay!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Glen Ellen Stone Retreat in Glen Ellen and it was truly a wonderful experience. The views from the property are simply breathtaking, offering a serene and peaceful atmosphere for a perfect getaway. The proximity to amazing restaurants in the area made dining out a delightful experience. I was also impressed by how easy the booking process was through VRBO. The seamless and user-friendly platform made it a breeze to secure my reservation. The property itself was well-maintained and offered all the amenities for a comfortable stay. Overall, I highly recommend Stone Retreat for anyone looking for a tranquil retreat with stunning views, excellent dining options nearby, and a hassle-free booking process. It truly exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to return.

Outstanding Property

The house is a really cool stone and wood structure built by the owner with many amenities. It also in a great location with many vineyards/tasting rooms & restaurants close by in Glen Ellen but also easy to get to the whole Napa valley to explore others. The host was very friendly and also very responsive to a minor issue we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property.

Great house!

The house was spacious, clean and in a perfect location for exploring both Sonoma and Napa. We had 4 couples, and there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own bedroom/bathroom, and there are great common areas where we could hang out with one another to eat and unwind. Everything was very clean and convenient. Brian lives nearby and was easy to communicate with, so check-in and check-out was seamless. I will definitely stay here again when visiting wine country.

Birthday celebration with family and friends in Sonoma.

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Brian met us and could not have been more accommodating with his beautiful home. I would highly recommend staying in Glen Ellen at this beautiful and inviting home away from home.

Beautiful stay for the most part…

This property was absolutely beautiful! I stayed here with 7 of my friends for a little birthday getaway and we absolutely loved the property. The beds were comfy, there was a lot of room and they even had board games. Everything was great, but we had one weird experience... We met some of the neighbors earlier that day and they were cool so we had them over around 6pm . Later that night 3 of us ladies were in the hot tub by ourselves when the neighbors came over unannounced through the backyard around 10:02pm . Before we could even really say anything the owner showed up right behind them. The 3 neighbors and the owner started exchanging words which seemed heated back and forth. We couldn’t hear because of the jacuzzi jets. Then the neighbors wave bye and walk back out the backyard. We then had to get the owners attention to ask what just happened and it seemed like he wasn’t even trying to answer us. He sounded angry and barely made eye contact as he told us it was past 10 so it is supposed to be quiet hours and those people couldn’t be there. We either had to make sure we stayed quiet (which we were before the commotion. No music or anything just us conversing with one another) or take it inside. Meanwhile, this whole ordeal was over by 10:07 so we don’t know how everything happened so randomly and how the owner was there before we could even tell the men to go home.. This left us quite fearful because why did they feel okay just entering our area with out asking, how did the owner come so quick right behind them, and why was no one trying to tell us what in the world was going on? Especially because it was just us 3 girls in our swim suits so we were vulnerable at that point and we had no idea what they were yelling about. We called the owner Afterwards to ask if that was him that came back there and he confirmed. We let him know we felt uneasy and also Uber would be coming soon with our dinner. He replied “no it won’t, it’s already there”. We weren’t aware of that yet so after that chain of events the house just felt scary and eerie as if someone was watching us. Thankfully, it was our last night! I wish that event didn’t happen though because I really did love the house overall and when we first met the owner he seemed to be super friendly. That last night just left a salty taste in our mouths. All & all though the property by itself was amazing! I loved the layout, the jacuzzi, the amenities, and the views! Great place for pictures.

Christmas Rendevouz

Family was looking for a place where groups from three locations could gather for the holiday. Stone Retreat was an ideal location for our interests and needs. Weather was not cooperative, as needed rains were in ample supply. Plenty of room for distinct family lifestyles, great gathering spaces, and the kitchen provided for our cooking objectives. Brian was courteous and attentive during our stay. We had a very Merry Christmas at Stone Retreat.

Napa to Sonoma

We had a group from two different states meet in CA for the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon. Property was absolutely beautiful, perfect for our group, great amenities and close to SOO many vineyards / wine tastings. Patio and pool would have been amazing if the weather was warmer. Owners were very quick to respond and very accommodating. Thank you! Couple suggestions: update the furniture in living room (cushions) and perhaps provide coffee carafe. Thank you!!
