We had an incredible stay at this lovely home in Glen Ellyn! The house easily and comfortably sleeps up to 12. Very clean with a beautiful kitchen. The grounds are incredible. The pool is delightful and so is the rock waterslide. We loved dining on the Tuscan inspired outdoor table each evening and listened to music around the pit fire afterward. The gardens are so pretty. Our host was just lovely to work with! We will be back next year.
Six adults stayed comfortably for a long weekend. Home was exactly as advertised and the owner was incredibly proactive and helpful. The low water pressure made showers for 6 a bit tricky, but the pool house shower was perfect and allowed us to get everyone ready quickly. The home is landscaped really well with total privacy and minimal noise despite being on a main road. There were many places for us to relax and have fun. And Sonoma was just a 15 minute drive away! Overall, a lovely home with a caring and very responsive owner. Thank you for letting us stay at your property!
Lovely home! It's definitely an oasis once you get through the gate - lemon trees, blooming wisteria, the pool & hot tub, the outdoor seating areas! The inside is also quite lovely and comfortable - there were 8 of us who stayed there. Everyone said their beds were comfortable. We loved having our morning coffee on the back porch overlooking the gardens, watching the sunrise over the mountains - perfection! Our evenings were spent in the hot tub enjoying cocktails! Jennifer was very helpful and accommodating - gave us lots of recommendations and provided us with extra towels and kept us posted on check-in and check-out times. We followed her recommendation to get sandwiches from the market - yummy! A few issues in the kitchen that I have let her know about - I'm sure she'll get those fixed - but we were able to prepare our meals there despite those! Highly recommend this home for your visit to wine country!
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 âThe Millâ 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 areaâŠâŠ
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.
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!
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 couldnât 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 couldnât get reception for two days) and with the bbq (no propane, doesnât get hot enough). Sheâs 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.
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.
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 lawâs 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 areaâŠa 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.
We loved our stay, the house had everything we needed. we enjoyed ourselves in the pool and having our morning coffees on the front porch. This house is super close to Napa and surrounding area. Jen the host was excellent, always just a text message away. If we ever return, we would stay here again!
This house was perfect for me and my friends for a long weekend. Jen was a great host and super communicative, and gave us amazing suggestions for things to do in the area since it was our first time. The house was very clean and the outdoor space is hard to beat! I would definitely stay here again and recommend to future visitors!
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. Youâre 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 wonât regret it. Thank you for all your hospitality, Jen! Your space made my birthday wonderful!
We rented this house for a girls trip and it was perfect! Great pool and hot tub and easy access to all wineries. The owner was so helpful and communicative!
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.
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.
Perfect size for a group of friends or families. The outdoor space was magical. Great location to Sonoma center and many wineries! We came for our 40th birthdays and it did not disappoint. Thank you for everything Jen!
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. Would definitely recommend for a family vacation in Sonoma wine country.
My friends and I rented this home for a friend's wedding weekend in Sonoma. It was perfect - lots of room (in terms of sleeping arrangements AND outdoor space). The backyard and pool area were a huge plus. The best part about the stay was how wonderful the host, Jen, was. She was very accommodating, communicative, and really just very sweet :) Would definitely recommend for friends or family trips.
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!
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!
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.
