À propos de cet hébergement

Beau, Guest Ranch historique avec des équipements modernes

Le Ranch sur Sonoma Mountain est un ranch historique situé juste à l'extérieur du charmant village de Glen Ellen dans le comté de Sonoma. Situé sur la pente de la montagne Sonoma avec une vue imprenable sur la vallée de Sonoma, The Ranch ne ressemble à aucune autre location de vacances à Sonoma car il combine un hébergement de luxe avec une expérience de séjour à la ferme.

Au Ranch, vous avez la possibilité de vous détendre dans `` Le Cottage '', une luxueuse maison privée de 3 chambres tout en profitant de tout ce que le Ranch a à offrir, y compris une luxueuse piscine d'eau salée avec vue panoramique sur la vallée, un potager biologique de saison, des vergers, vignoble, mûres, bleuets, framboises et fraises, poulailler et plus encore. Le Ranch sur la montagne Sonoma est une destination de vacances idéale pour les familles ou toute personne intéressée par la vie dans un pays viticole telle qu'elle est vécue par les familles californiennes depuis plus d'un siècle.

Le Cottage at The Ranch sur la montagne Sonoma a été construit en 1898 comme principal lieu d'hébergement pour le populaire Bruning's Summer Resort de la fin des années 1800 à 1915. Le chalet est situé à la fin d'une allée privée sur douze acres de collines ondulées parsemées de chênes, de vignes et de vergers. Récemment rénové et décoré professionnellement dans un style agraire chic confortable, le Cottage a un plan d'étage ouvert et lumineux, une cuisine gastronomique avec la gamme Viking, trois chambres (dont une mezzanine à l'ancienne) et deux salles de bain complètes.

Le Ranch est idéalement situé à environ une heure et demie de San Francisco et est accessible depuis le centre-ville de Glen Ellen ainsi que depuis l'autoroute 101 via Rohnert Park ou Santa Rosa.

2017 Wildfire Update: Nous sommes reconnaissants et soulagés d'annoncer que le Ranch a échappé aux terribles incendies de forêt complètement indemne. Ce fut une semaine terrifiante alors que nous regardions les incendies grimper sur la montagne Sonoma. Vendredi 13 octobre, l'incendie a atteint la propriété de notre voisin. Nous sommes très reconnaissants envers notre voisin qui a courageusement choisi de ne pas évacuer et était sur place pour alerter les pompiers sur la menace. Grâce à leurs efforts, l'incendie a été éteint au bord de notre limite de propriété et sans endommager notre propriété, les structures voisines ni diminuer nos belles vues. Nos pensées vont à ceux de notre communauté qui n'ont pas eu autant de chance.

Une journée au Ranch sur la montagne Sonoma:

Le matin, sirotez votre café ou votre thé à l'extérieur tout en profitant de la faune abondante, y compris les lapins, les dindes sauvages, les cailles et plus encore. Pour le petit déjeuner, ramassez vos propres œufs frais de nos poulets élevés au pâturage, cueillez des mûres sauvages et cueillez des fruits de saison dans notre verger.

Dans l'après-midi, prenez des serviettes, préparez des boissons fraîches dans le wagon rouge et suivez le chemin de gravier jusqu'à la piscine. Pendant que vous éclaboussez et jouez, profitez d'une vue panoramique sur la vallée. Sur le chemin du retour au chalet, cueillez des fruits frais pour votre dessert (mûres, figues, prunes françaises et rhubarbe poussent le long du chemin).

Le soir, savourez un verre de vin sur notre terrasse panoramique ou promenez-vous dans notre ancien vignoble. Pour le dîner, coupez la laitue pour bébé, cueillez les tomates patrimoniales de la vigne et cueillez d'autres légumes frais et des herbes de notre jardin biologique abondant. Profitez du coucher de soleil pendant que vous dînez en plein air sur notre terrasse généreuse surplombant la vallée de Sonoma. Plus tard, rassemblez-vous autour du foyer extérieur pour faire griller des guimauves. Avant de vous coucher, versez un verre de Pinot Noir sur la terrasse panoramique et savourez le silence étoilé de la vie dans la région viticole.

Beautiful, relaxing!

This was a beautiful, extremely well appointed property. The garden was a wonderful place to find fresh produce, our toddler loved visiting the chickens for fresh eggs every morning, we loved that it was dog friendly and the pool was very welcome on a hot day. The owner and caretakers were extremely helpful and friendly. We will certainly be back!

End of Summer Family Get Away

My family and I had a fabulous last summer hurrah at the Ranch! The views around the house of the Sonoma Valley are breathtaking! The house is stocked with all the essentials that you need to cook or grill. The kids enjoyed chatting with the chickens each day and appreciated the fresh eggs for breakfast. The best part of the weekend was obviously time spent at the pool. Picking/eating the fresh blackberries along the walk to the pool was also a plus! We can't wait to come back next year!

Magical

Myself and friends came out from Canada for a "girls" weekend of wine tasting and connection and we couldn't have found a more magical and gorgeous place. The place was clean, kitchen was a dream to work in, beds were super comfortable, and the view/access to nature can't be beat. Communication and check in was easy. Can't recommend enough.

Amazing property

We had a great weekend stay. Loved picking fruit and veggies from the garden and relaxing in the hot tub. Gorgeous views! There was an issue with the septic system (someone before us had flushed wipes--don't do that!) and they handled it immediately and gave us a bottle of bubbly for our trouble. Highly recommend this place!

Lovely even in a heat wave

The house is one of the best stocked homes I've ever stayed in..spices/herbs, flours, sugars..just made me want to cook. The porches and hot tub give views of the Sonoma valley, sunrise and sunset. The pool is across the property but this time of year it gives you a chance to eat blackberries on the way and look at the fresh vegetable garden to plan for dinner. The other side of the house has plug and peach trees for the picking. The caretakers are warm and helpful with any issues. I loved it so much I'm returning with my daughter and family and can't wait to see the grandkids watching the chickens and picking veggies. I think this time I'll make blackberry sorbet in the wonderful ice cream maker.

Dreaming of the ranch

We had an exquisite visit from start to finish and we all can’t wait to come back (although we’ll probably try to avoid coming back the same weekend as Bottle Rock again). The ranch was perfect and idyllic and felt like home. The views could bring you to tears. We used the hot tub and fire pit and next time we hope the weather is nice enough for a pool day. I can’t speak highly enough of this home - we can’t wait to visit again!

Great property

We had a great time celebrating 40th birthdays here with 3 other couples. The house is quite charming and we enjoyed having access to fresh eggs daily. The property is beautiful and we had everything we needed. It is up a curvy mountain road but it was not difficult getting into Glen Ellen. Just beware that it's chillier up on the mountain than it is down in Napa (at least it was for the length of our stay) and unfortunately we weren't able to use the pool. Definitely would stay again for an off-the-beaten-path stay. Thanks for a fun weekend!

Great location, clean, good amenities

We had a great experience. We rented for a week and are a family of 5. Space was plenty big, kids loved sleeping in the loft, appliances and supplies were current and all worked really well. Kids loved getting fresh eggs from the chickens, jumping on trampoline and the pool. It was a short drive to local markets, bakery, and wineries. Caretakers rent house on site which is convenient. The listing said private pool although on welcome binder it said the pool was shared space , but no one else used it while we were there so it worked out great. Would definitely stay here again was a wonderful week!

Country living

My children enjoyed this country getaway. The pool, zipline, trampoline and the chickens were a huge draw. My kids loved collecting eggs from the coop and cooking them for breakfast. The property manager Paisha was also very helpful. There was enough to do within the property that we didn’t need to leave for days. There was lots of outdoor seating and we used the grill and fire pit daily. We didn’t get to use the hot tub because it was broken but otherwise it was an enjoyable getaway.

Sonoma Mountain Paradise

We booked this home with friends to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday and staying here at this little slice of heaven was by far the highlight of our entire wine country trip! The cottage is even more beautiful than the photos and the property itself just blew us away- we all said outloud "we're so lucky to get to stay here!" We had so many fun things planned but actually cancelled a few things just so we could spend more time at this home. There are more areas than you can count to lounge, relax, celebrate and just enjoy... we enjoyed the hot tub at least twice a day, the fire table sofa area was our favorite at sunset and we had breakfast every morning at the chic barn-house using fresh eggs & all the fruits, veggies & herbs we could carry from the amazing gardens right there on the property. We So appreciated all of the high end appliances and well-stocked kitchen for all the meals we cooked there. Communication with Kristin was so easy and helpful. We cannot wait to someday return to this incredible place!

Girl’s Trip Birthday Weekend

Every year a group of us (6 women; ages 34-44) get together in October to celebrate 3 Oct birthdays and overall friendship. The host responded to questions prior to booking and throughout the lead up to our stay. We arrived after dark and roads are very winding, narrow, and hilly (use caution). Upon arrival the host had a bouquet of fresh flowers with a welcome card (as well as a book with everything house related). We visited both Napa and Sonoma wineries and the drive was completely manageable to all our locations. The house was perfect. Plenty of out door amenities, sitting areas, fire places and BEAUTIFUL VIEW!! The house is a bit older (in the fact that the walls are SUPER thin) and you can hear everything if you are in either of the mail level bedrooms. Suggest brining nose canceling devices/sound machine...however it was still a perfect stay!! Would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone.

Beautiful views, great location, charming home, excellent amenities!

We had such an amazing & lovely time staying at this ranch! It was even nicer and more charming than I expected. The views from the deck are expansive and gorgeous! There are ample charming places to sit and read or relax, or enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine, or eat a meal outdoors with your family or friends. The house was very clean and very well appointed (plenty of towels, good cookware, nice comfy furniture and millions of pillows, games, coffee table books, books by historic local author Jack London, etc). The kids loved the pool and the zip-line. We all loved going to gather eggs for breakfast from the chicken coup. The blackberries you pass on the way to the pool are honestly the sweetest I have ever tasted (and we picked enough to make ourselves a delicious pie!). The hot tub I only used on the last night, and regretted it, as it it a lovely wooden hot tub under the stars... I should have used it every night! This is one place that we will certainly be returning to... a very special little home on a lovely piece of land! Thank you for making our stay so peaceful and memorable!

Nice house & great property but disappointed by distance to pool and lack of curtains upstairs

We stayed at the Ranch with our two children aged 3 and 5. The house was mostly updated with a good layout surrounded by expansive property and fun things for the kids like a trampoline, hot tub, water feature, chickens, garden, etc. There were wonderful views from various places on the property and it was nice to sit and enjoy the stars at night around the fire pit. There were a few things about the property that concerned us. The first and biggest was the location of the pool. With 2 young kids they are in and out all the time so proximity to the house is important. Unfortunately, the pool is near the main road, way on the other side of the property, down a dirt and rock path, past the caretakers home (which is relatively close if privacy is of concern) requiring us to 'pack up' every time we went to the pool, inevitably forgetting something. I really wish this would have been noted in the description as it was pretty inconvenient and would have likely led us to a different rental. For adults only maybe this is not a big deal and the pool area itself is quite nice but something that should be noted in the listing. Separately, the upstairs sleeping area has 2 large windows and 2 small windows and none had window coverings while the master had only white coverings. One of the great things about vacation is sleeping in but that was hard to do with the sun coming up before 6am. Luckily the caretakers were able to bring us blankets and tacks to put up over the windows but this should be addressed for the comfort of visitors. A few maintenance notes for the owner, the drainage pipe for the bathtub in the guest bathroom leaks and it filled the floor with water. We managed to get most of it with towels but you may want to fix to avoid floor damage. Like a prior visitor, we had a mouse in the house and came to our attention as it was on the counter pulling at our packaged (closed) food (maybe setting a few humane traps would help). Outside our kids got some huge splinters running around barefoot the first day before we realized, we probably should have known better but not sure if sanding or a coating could help. Lastly, there are woodpeckers regularly pecking at the side and back of the house, creating holes all across the back, some quite large where they are creating nests. None of these were that big of a deal, more for the owner to know.

Family fun in rain or sun!

Wonderful trip with family & friends. Despite some surprising May weather (rain, 50/60s) we all had a great time. Lots of indoor games and books for adults and kids alike; plenty of space for two families of four to spread out; close enough to Glen Ellen and Kenwood to visit restaurants and wineries. The kids LOVED the zip line, trampoline, chickens and kids space (esp under the stair landing). Morton's warm springs public swimming pool was a great alternative for a colder day (pools were 90degrees). Only caution is mosquitos at dusk (though of the 8 of us I was the only one to get bit several times). We would love to come back!

Pampered Country Living in Wine Country

We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. The house and grounds were wonderfully maintained and very well equipped for anything we wanted to accomplish. Full on high end Viking stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave for cooking as well as we do at home. Farm fresh eggs and greens from the organic garden just put it over the top. We loved the hot tub, and many great hang out areas provided. Both gas firepits gave us the warmth and ambiance we were looking for while enjoying the outdoor space. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, including extra high quality ingredients we were able to enjoy to enhance our meals. The overall feeling from the property was super cozy, and home-like if that makes sense. We were able to settle right in and feel at home within minutes. So thankful for our time at the historic guest ranch.

Bucolic Getaway

Lovely cottage, comfortable and cozy. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises. We enjoyed Thanksgiving at this sweet guest house. The downstairs beds are quite comfortable, and the bathrooms have a lot of charm. The only suggestion for “even better” would be to upgrade some of the appliances, as we had some trouble with the dishwasher, and we would’ve enjoyed being able to plug our Roku stick into the television.. the owner and the caretaker were both very responsive. Overall, we had a great time and we look forward to returning.

Wonderful weekend getaway

This was a lovely second visit to this property. I had come up with family earlier in the summer, and this time was with a group of friends. It was fun to see the changes in the scenery now that we're into autumn. The location is gorgeous, the host is communicative and helpful, and the house is clean and has all the necessities and then some. Folks who needed to work could do that with good internet, and we enjoyed walking around the grounds, sipping wine by the fire, warming up in the hot tub, cozying up and playing games in the comfy living room. Would definitely visit again!

Birthday Adventure with Family

A great location to get away and immerse in the natural beauty of Sonoma. We especially loved the fresh eggs we gathered each morning from the chickens, enjoying the fresh garden of veggies and the magnificent citrus everywhere. Your views are beautiful and it is very peaceful. A little trek to the vineyards but not difficult - just would say early morning fog on the curvy roads or after dark needs special care when driving.

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous êtes reçu par Kristin (Owner)

Image de profil de l’hôte
I am a 6th generation California native, raised on the San Francisco Peninsula. We purchased the ranch when our children were toddlers and spent time there whenever possible. As they grew older, we found it arrange weekend getaways to Sonoma. This led us to decide to share The Ranch with you on VRBO.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

It was love at first sight, really. Historic property, 10 fenced acres, two homes, barn, orchard, vineyard, pool, seasonal creek, valley views, oak trees and more. It was a project for sure but that too, drew us in. I have always had a passion for historic restoration and viewed this property as an opportunity to be a steward of an important piece of California history.

Also, our eldest son was nearly two years old at the time we purchased the property. We wanted him, and our second son who soon followed, to grow up loving the land and having the same kind of freedom we both had as a children to roam and explore. At the Ranch, children and grown ups alike have the opportunity to develop a sense of self sufficiency in nature by climbing trees, building forts, collecting eggs and picking the food they will cook eat for their meals.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

The Ranch has been inhabited by Californians and our native predecessors for This Humans have lived on this land for thousands of years. Based on stone artifacts found around the property, the land on which the Ranch now sits was likely a camp for the Costal Miwok Indians.

The Ranch on Sonoma Mountain (then 160 acres) was purchased by C.H.W. Bruning, a German immigrant, on June 17, 1876 for $4000. The property was owned by various members of the Bruning family, who sold or divided it until separate parcels over the years until we purchased the original home site in 2007. Around 1910, the Ranch shared a property line with Jack London's Beauty Ranch, as can be seen on maps on display today at Jack London State Park.

The Brunings operated a summer resort called either Waldrue or Brunings Summer Resort from the late 1900s until 1915. Guests traveled by train to Glen Ellen and were then transported via horse and buggy up the mountain. Wives and children would often come for the week while husbands would often travel from the City just for the weekend. Guest accommodations included dozens of platform tents dotting the landscape and a cottage, what we now call The Cottage on Sonoma Mountain. Dining and entertainment was offered in the main house which still stands near Sonoma Mountain Road. Guests can view the original guest book from Bruning's Summer Resort during their stay.

Prunes were the primary crop through the prohibition. One French prune tree remains from the original prune orchard. During this time the Brunings also tried their hand at poultry farming and raised white leghorn chickens. In 1946, the Brunings installed a concrete pool which served the triple purpose of recreation, fire protection and irrigation source. The pool allowed the Brunings to plant grape vines for the first time, the same gamay vines that grow today. Rumor has it that one year the family shipped the harvest to Chicago by train where the grapes were sold to Al Capone!
