Sonoma Wine Country Retreat: Scenic, tranquil, bucolic, Hot Tub

Idyllic to gather with family and friends.

The kitchen is well-supplied with plenty of room for cooks, sous chefs, and advisors.

The porches and windows offer expansive vineyard and garden views.

The 3 bedrooms all have ensuite bathrooms. The 1.3 acre garden invites meandering and meditative time. A comfortable TV room is separated but centrally located and is very close to the refrigerator and the open great room.

Details-
The large great room is 2 walls of mostly glass that open onto multiple decks. Its placement on a gradual hillside gives the views an intimate but open, bucolic feel.

The great room includes a fully equipped kitchen and 10' x 4' island, a 10' dining table that seats 8 - 10 comfortably, a seating area with comfy chairs, and a sectional.

The great room is surrounded by windows, a TV room, and 3 bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath. Two of the bedrooms have 9' tall sliding glass doors that open directly onto the deck and views of the surrounding rolling hills and vineyards or garden. The third is perfect for the person who wants to pull down the shade and miss the sunrise.

The garden features a bocce ball court, horseshoe throw, swing-set. If cornhole and Jenga are your thing, we have those, too!

Begin the day sipping your tea or coffee and watching the sunrise. End the day with dinner and a glass of local wine while watching the sky turn pink. There are large tables that seat 6 -8 on 2 of the decks.


VENTURING OUT: We are a 10-25 minute drive to Healdsburg, Forestville, downtown Santa Rosa, Calistoga, and more wineries than you can possibly explore in a mere week. For outdoor pursuits, there is hiking in Annadel State Park, Hood Mountain, Shiloh Ranch Reserve, etc, or head down to the Russian River for kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and enjoying the small towns and restaurants on its banks. You might also find yourself content to relax at home and explore our neighborhood on foot. If you have a hankering for the ocean, we are a 40-minute drive to the coast at Jenner or Tomales Bay.

This is a cyclist's paradise. Options include anything from a relaxed bike ride through local vineyards to a long, rigorous but spectacularly beautiful century. Check online and consider joining one of the many organized rides hosted by local bike and/or culinary clubs. There is also a collection of bike route maps available at the house. Or ask me! :-)
