Valley of the Moon by AvantStay | Tranquil Escape, Large Yard, Hot Tub, Fire Pit

Welcome to Valley of the Moon, your delightful retreat nestled in Sonoma's picturesque wine country. Tucked away on 1.5 acres in the tranquil valley, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the perfect escape for those seeking peace and privacy.

As you step inside, you'll immediately feel at home. The charming formal living area boasts a fireplace and a large arc window, letting in natural light and views of the surrounding nature. In the back of the house, an open floor plan connects the family room, kitchen, and second dining area, creating the perfect setting for quality time with loved ones. Whip up delicious meals in the fully equipped kitchen, complete with an island and stainless steel appliances. There's plenty of space for your group to spread out with the additional den and upstairs loft, which is fully stocked with toys and games providing kids with endless entertainment.

Outside, the large, private backyard beckons you to embrace outdoor living. Step onto the spacious deck, where an outdoor kitchen with a grill and pizza oven awaits. A shaded outdoor dining area provides the perfect place for alfresco dining at any time of day. After dinner, unwind in the hot tub or gather around the fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars. With a large lawn and patio seating area nestled in the middle, there's no shortage of ways to relax and enjoy the serene surroundings.

Valley of the Moon boasts a prime location for experiencing all that wine country has to offer. Next to the charming town of Kenwood, Valley of the Moon is within walking distance of an abundance of wineries and less than a 5-minute drive from restaurants and the golf course at Valley of the Moon Club. Outdoor lovers will enjoy exploring the nearby Sonoma Botanical Garden, or the recreational activities at the nearby regional and state parks. Hood Moutain Regional Park, Trione-Annadel State Park, and Sugarloaf Ridge State Park are all just a 5-minute drive or bike ride away. Valley of the Moon is also only 10 minutes from Morton's Warm Springs, Glen Ellen, and Jack London State Park.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

Known for its vineyards, local cuisine, and nature parks, Sonoma County (45 minutes from San Francisco) offers a wide array of activities for those looking to retreat from city life. World-class spas provide relaxation after a day of hiking in the Redwoods. A tour at a local winery is a must, followed by a farm-to-table dinner in town. While unwinding is certainly the attitude in Sonoma, activities like horseback riding, hot-air ballooning, and kayaking attract those looking for a little adventure. In the evening, watch the sunset over the vineyards and rolling hills, wine glass in hand.

Excellent place to stay with family
The place was exactly as described with lots of open space for everyone to enjoy. Kids especially enjoyed the play room upstairs. My family loved the hot tub. We weren't able to use the fire pit, spoke to the AvantStay folks but didnt still couldn't get it to light. The house is in a picturesque location within 15 mins to Sonoma downtown and within an hour of all Napa wineries. There are quite a few good wineries in walking/biking distance. Would definitely recommend a stay.

loved our stay. Place was well-kept, master BR was wonderful and hot tub/fire pit both great amenities. would stay here again in a heartbeat. Only negative was the 400 cleaning fee which was way too steep in our case.

Lovely property!
We stayed for 2 nights on a long weekend in November. The heating worked perfectly, and the pizza oven and hot tub were definitely crowd pleasers. Plenty of seating space and a large kitchen. All bedrooms are downstairs as well which made it very accessible. I have all my questions answered in a timely and polite manner. No major complaints just a note to any future guests the master bedroom does not have opaque curtains so if light impedes your sleep I’d suggest packing an eye mask. Otherwise the stay was enjoyable and the hosts were nice and helpful!

Friends weekend adventure
Friends adventure weekend, 7 of us all over 50. We loved the property. Spacious. Beautiful yard. Lots of room to be on your own or great gathering spots. Rooms were nice and comfy. Quiet location. Spent most of out me time in the kitchen when we weren’t out hiking, running, exploring or tasting wine.

Nice House - Confirm Amenities
This is a nice house in a convenient location. We were a little disappointed that we paid more for this property to enjoy the hot tub only to find it not working. I’d add that the Avant Stay customer service was responsive although inconsistent as they responded to the issues but didn’t resolve the matter as they promised.

Not what we expected
For the price per night we paid we were expecting a lot more. The entire entry way is covered in spider webs and there are no curtains in the master bedroom. The third bedroom has bunk beds which was not shown in the photos and overall the property felt very dated. We were really disappointed overall and wouldn’t stay here again.

Lovely stay
Had a great time reuniting with old friends here - gorgeous views in the area and plenty to do outside, but it was just as enjoyable to hang out inside playing board games and cooking in the nice kitchen!

Property is a little more "worn" than the pictures would indicate. bunk beds situated differently than picture, and in such a way that getting to the top bunk is potentially unsafe. Bugs crept into master bedding, and a bug bite occurred on the first night. Ants were ubiquitous throughout master bath and kitchen. Hot tub rocked!! We were unable to use the firepit, as it would not light. Although the kitchen was very well stocked with pots/pans etc. Vey basic stables, like Olive oil, salt and pepper were either not apparent, or were empty. Looked as though past renters had left some spices which were used, so we left the our additions as well ( salt and pepper) Overall, the stay was quite nice, but just wanted to give honest input on little items that might help with future renters.
