1-acre Private Backyard with Large Pool

Glen Ellen getaway 1 hour from the Golden Gate Bridge. The indoor/outdoor format allows you to flow back and forth between climate controlled comfort and swimming in the large custom in-ground pool (not heated), lounging on the deck, perusing the flower gardens, picking fresh produce from the garden in the back, lawn games or bocce, al fresco dining and refreshments on the deck, decompressing in the hot tub, or just letting the warm sunshine wash over you in one of the chaise loungers until you enter a Zen-like state. Spacious indoors and out, a dining room and two large common rooms with masonry fireplaces offer gathering places to relax and wind down after a full day with a meal and fire.

We are located in the heart of Sonoma Valley wine country. Several wineries are walkable, and dozens more are within a 10 minute drive. Hiking, biking, and picnicking in Sonoma Valley Regional Park, as well as guided nature walks in Bouverie Wildflower Preserve, are both a mile away. Charming downtown Glen Ellen is 1.5 miles down a country lane. The entrance to Jack London State Park and amazing hiking, picnicking, and historic buildings are two miles away; guided horseback riding is also available. The renowned Sonoma town square is 7.5 miles down Highway 12. Glen Ellen and Sonoma both offer great restaurants, Sonoma a wider selection. Your spirit of adventure will be met in full by the world class recreational activities at your fingertips.

The house itself is remodeled with abundant light from skylights, picture windows, and sliding glass doors. Almost every room has views of the lush, private back yard with extensive lawn, mature trees, and flowers in bloom most of the year. The house has 3 full baths including an en-suite master bath.

Great place to stay for everyone!
By far one of the best rentals I’ve ever stayed in. Plenty of space, lots of activities (hot tub, pool, bocce, game cabinet, just to name a few). Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, ample parking, and close to all the wine you could ever want! Rob was a great host and communicated great!

Beautiful home and property
This place was perfect for our group. The house has a nice layout that works well for family / friend get togethers: multiple living rooms, fully equipped gourmet kitchen, very good indoor outdoor connection, lots of amenities (pool, hot tub, bocce ball court). Location is also very good - quiet neighborhood, wineries within walking distance from the house, 5 min drive to grocery store, restaurants and bakery in Glen Ellen. We really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful property - we loved it
We take an annual trip with 3 families with small children, and we all agreed this was our absolute favorite stay! The property is beautiful and comfortable - perfect for families and feels like a home. The deck looks out into the beautiful backyard and pool, and the owners really thought about all the little details - pool floaties for the kids, sunscreen and toys, even very nice shampoo in the master bathroom! We're really thankful we got to stay here! It was truly a treat.

Sweet spot in Sonoma
Loved this home away from home. Teens and kids loved the pool and outdoor space. Great location. Loved Lasseter and close proximity to house. Only thing we would change is to make the lock box for the key easier to get to or switch to an electronic dead bolt.

40th Birthday Weekend in Wine Country
10 friends and family members traveled from Indiana to California to celebrate a dear friend's 40th birthday. It was a lovely time! The back outdoor space was, by far, my favorite. We found ourselves hanging out there the most. The two separate seating areas were helpful, too.

Great Stay in Wine Country
We were a group of 10 adults visiting for a friend’s wedding. This house is exactly as listed; beautiful, spacious, clean, and was the perfect fit. We loved the yard and pool! Robert was easy to reach and helpful with any questions we had. We enjoyed their recommendations including “The girl and the fig” restaurant in Sonoma and Lennox vineyard down the road. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Perfect for our big family
This home was just what our family needed! It was very comfortable as well as beautiful, with plenty of room inside and out. The pool was especially nice during our stay as a heat wave moved in. Outside, there were fruit trees, herbs, and some vegetables ripening, which we enjoyed adding to our menus. The nights were cool and the stars were spectacular. We'd love to come back someday!

Gorgeous home and property
My family (3 adult couples plus 2 grandchildren ) gathered for several days before my sons wedding at a local vineyard. The home is well equipped, the property is wonderfully maintained and the pool provided entertainment for all. The collection of scooters was such a treat for the 6 and 3 yo. The neighborhood is quiet and the town is charming. We give it our highest recommendation and will return!

Great group get away spot
We used this lovely home as our base for exploring Sonoma. Made it to wineries, hiking, into Glen Ellen, and attended a wedding in Sonoma. The bedrooms were comfortable for everyone, and the kitchen/family room/deck provided plenty of casual spaces to hang out all together or in small groups. The mid century modern furniture is classic and lovely. The pool and all the games and accessories make the back yard lots of fun on a sunny weekend. Highly recommend.

Relaxing in Sonoma
This was a great house for family to gather during my son’s wedding in Sonoma. The house is well laid out to accommodate a large group very comfortably and the beds are comfortable too. We loved the outdoor spaces and the large pool was enjoyed by all ages. Overall the house was very clean, but the pool area could have used a sweep and the pool chairs were a little bit dirty. We used towels over them so not a problem. Overall everyone had a great time!

Great for our group!
We had a group of 5 couples and this space was great! Everyone was able to have their own room and the family room areas were perfect for gathering. We didn’t get to use the pool much but the bocce court was fun as was the hot tub! Rob was very responsive and easy to work with! (We didn’t need to contact him during the trip which I see as a positive as well!) There were a bunch of games which we got into in the evenings after dinner and was a great addition! Had trouble getting Uber out there when going into downtown Sonoma so we ended up driving or getting a driver, which still worked out for our group. Would definitely recommend this place!

Great house, great neighborhood
This house is as advertised. It's in a beautiful neighborhood. The 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms made it easy for our group of 8 to stay here comfortably. The kitchen is big and very well- stocked, and the two eating areas allowed everyone to spread out for meals. The backyard is park- like, and the outdoor seating made it possible for everyone to enjoy the space. Things to be aware of - there's no closet in the master bedroom. There are a few hangers in the other bedrooms. The tile floors make it a cool-temperature house during colder weather. We'd definitely rent this property again.

wonderful home in a beautiful location
We rented this property for a group of 9 cousins as a family reunion. The home is lovely, and very equipped. The backyard is like a park! There is a very large swimming pool and hot tub, as well as bocce ball court. The neighborhood is quiet, beautiful and peaceful. There are numerous vineyards within either walking distance, or a short drive. The town of Glen Ellen is maybe 10 minutes away, and there are several good restaurants, and a very nice market. It is about 20 minutes to the town square in Sonoma, with many good restaurants & shops. Our host, Rob, was very helpful, and he even let us check in early. I would highly recommend this property if you would like a lovely home in a beautiful & peaceful wine country location.

Amazing Location, Fantastic House
We stayed at this Bonnie Glen home for a family get together over Labor Day weekend and could not be happier with our decision. The house is the perfect size for a large family with 2 living rooms and a huge yard including a pool and a hot tub. We made good use of the kitchen and found everything we needed. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious. One of the best parts about this home is that it is as convenient as it gets. The house is literally a few feet from the main Sonoma highway, with a few wineries actually walkable. Sonoma town square is only about 5 minutes away and you are no more than 30-40 min from Napa, Russian River, and Alexander River Valleys which is incredible. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend in Sonoma or needing a home base for exploring wine country.

Good stay
We rented the house as three families with kids. The house was spacious and provided good accommodations for our stay. We enjoyed spending time in the hot tub and took advantage of the wood burning fireplace. The house is very well stocked for kids, there's a whole lot of toys, games, pack n' play, feeding chair, and kids plates. That makes the stay with kids so much easier. The kitchen was generally really well stocked and has everything needed to cook. Everything in the kitchen is nice and it looks newly renovated. There were some pretty minor things we didn't like about the place: the heating system is uneven with the upstairs bedrooms staying rather chilly when the rest of the house is warm, the shower has a low-flow showerhead (though it's a fancy big one, there's just not enough water!), and some parts of the house feel a bit older/worn. However, overall it was a great stay. The location and the property are amazing and we generally enjoyed our stay! Would definitely recommend this place.
