Keywords: House
Our spacious well-appointed 4 bedroom home is a Licensed Vacation Rental (Sonoma County #581N) It is located on 1.5 acres in a private community in the hills west of Sonoma, and sits 1300 feet above the valley floor. It is surrounded by mature Oak and Bay trees giving you beautiful wooded views from every window. There are sweeping views of not only the hills but the south end of the Sonoma valley, the Carneros wine region and the north end of the San Francisco bay waters. Our hills are bustling with deer, wild turkeys, squirrels and many, many species of birds.
Our guests say that our house feels like a "5 star" hotel: that’s exactly what we’d hoped. As you enter the front doors you are greeted with the warmth and welcoming feel of this home.
There are neighbors but with the beautiful mature vegetation you can’t see other houses. You will feel like you’re in a world of your own. We are 5 miles from Sonoma’s central square where there are world class restaurants and great shopping. The drive will take you 12 minutes. We are also in the heart of outstanding wineries: Many are less than 30 minutes of our front door.
Our kitchen has always been a favorite gathering spot. Lots of counter space, a great expanse of windows, a fireplace and our “pub” table all provide the perfect atmosphere. Our spacious dining room lends itself to romantic dinners or upbeat gatherings.
The living room and sunroom overlook our large deck and the expansive views of the valley and distant mountain ranges. The morning sunrise is spectacular. If you prefer to sleep late, just grab a robe and enjoy the valley views with your first cup of coffee.
The Sonoma valley is known as the Valley of the Moon. There is nothing more breathtaking than the big orange moon rising over the hills and flooding our deck with its glow. You’ll have a bird’s eye view.
Each bedroom has a personality of its own. Every bed has a down feather comforter to give you warmth without the weight and down feather pillows that will perfectly adjust to your preferences. All bedrooms have additional seating that will give you comfortable places to get-away from the group if you need a quiet time to talk or read.
The wine country is a destination in itself: add to that this really terrific house and you have the perfect combination.

Incredibly beautiful place!

We chose this home for its view; the view and the setting exceeded our expectations. The home is spacious, elegantly furnished, and comfortable. It is close to town, yet you are in a serene, bucolic setting. The garden is beautiful. We spent the Thanksgiving weekend there and spent a lot of time in the kitchen, which was large and included all the amenities. The view from the kitchen window into the garden was beautiful. The house and the linens were very clean. Karen was wonderful to work with. Would definitely go back!

Very well appointed home, nicely decorated and quite roomy for 4 couples and 1 single. Lots of cooking supplies provided. The kitchen was large and there were many areas for our group to hang out and visit. the patio areas were lovely and we decided to eat in 2 out of 3 nights to enjoy the home. Having 3 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms made for lots of privacy.

Words don't do this place justice. It's the feeling you get the moment you pull into the driveway--amazing! What a special retreat high in the treetops of Sonoma. Our family of married brothers, sisters and spouses spent an amazing four nights in this wonderful home. Karen was super to work with and the description of all the amenities only touches on all that is available. The location was perfect for touring local boutique wineries as well as day trips to Napa and San Franciso. Don't miss out on a personalized wine tour with Platypus Tours we highly recommend it. Hands down one of the best vacations we have ever had! Thanks Karen, for hosting us in your beautiful home.

Just...wow. The pictures posted here, while beautiful do not do this home justice. Not only is Karen a wonderful person to work with (prompt, kind, professional, understanding) but the second you put your bags down you feel like you're home. There are tons of amenities here, it really is a comfortable, serene getaway. Our favorite part was having breakfast on the porch with the most spectacular valley views. There is lots of space, you'll never feel cramped; it's perfect for a girls weekend or couples getaway. Thank you, Karen! I would recommend this place a hundred times over a hotel to everyone I know!

My family and friends came out from Ohio for a week of winetasting, hoping the house would be as pictured online. As we pulled into the drive, a family of deer were there to greet us, and we hoped the house was a beautiful inside as it was outside. Karen did not disappoint and the pictures are not just staged for show - the house really is as lovely as it looks. The ammenities are 4-star hotel worthy, there really wasn't anything we needed that wasn't available, including a closet full of cozy robes! We spent most of our time in the kitchen (with a wall full of windows and a gorgeous view it wasnt hard to do) and just relaxing on the deck overlooking the valley. Coffee in the morning, wine in the evening - it doesn't get much better. Pepperwood Place was a wonderful memory and we definetely will be coming back.

Amazing Wine Country Retreat
Guest: Bill

Date of Stay: 02/26/11
Review Submitted: 03/06/11
This house has it all. Far enough away from Sonoma to feel secluded, but close enough to make trips to the Sonoma Market, etc. a breeze. The views off the spacious deck are spectacular, with incredible sunrises. Comfortable, well appointed bedrooms have great amenities including robes. The hot tub is nice, with great views of the valley. But the star of the show is the kitchen! The pub table and fireplace make the kitchen the central room of the house. The kitchen is stocked with a great array of cookware, spices, etc.. We loved this kitchen so much that we only went out to eat one night, the rest of the week we spent cooking together and enjoying our wine purchases from earlier in the day. Karen makes the rental process amazingly simple, check-in and check-out were entirely painless. In short, this house will not disappoint. We'll be back!

Wonderful wine weekend getaway

Review Submitted: 10/29/10
Every year 4 couples get together for a weekend of wine tasting somewhere in California. The Pepperwood Place exceeded our expectations. It was spacious, clean and felt like home. All of the rooms were beautifully decorated so no one couple felt like they had a bad room. The extra little touches like luxury robes in each room made you feel like you were at a resort. We spent most of our time outside on the huge decks overlooking the gorgeous views. It was so peaceful and relaxing to be outside of town, but not an inconvenience if you forgot something at the store. In the mornings and evenings we had a family of deer come and visit. The house and kitchen included everything you might need. Karen, the owner, was especially great to work with. I now want to change our tradition and come here every year!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway.

We were four couples on a wine country vacation and thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights at Pepperwood Place. The views are spectacular and the neighborhood is very quite. The house is beautiful inside as well, with a great kitchen. We shopped in Sonoma and cooked all our dinners, and also enjoyed the grill, deck, patio and hot tub. The house is just outside of Sonoma, and convenient for everything we like to do. Karen was great throughout the process, and I highly recommend this property.

What a great find for us. We stayed for four nights with two other couples and the home was so comfortable and well equipped that we couldn't wait to return at the end of the day. We cooked in every night because we didn't want to leave. I was concerned that it would be too far out of Sonoma to make it convenient, but that was not the case. Picked up great prepared foods at Sonoma Market and shopped for other groceries at Safeway. The fact that spices, staples, etc are provided at the house is such a plus. The home was spotless, the dishes are plentiful, more varied glassware than you can imagine, and the hot tub was wonderful! Can't wait to return. Do not hesitate to stay at this wonderful home. We called the owner and told her, "Your website is deceiving........ it's NICER than it looks on your site":

Perfect Vacation House

We mainly rented the house because our son was getting married on a vineyard close by. But we cannot say enough about this house. It is absolutely beautiful and is tastefully decorated. The scenery, the wildlife, and the peaceful surrounding makes this house perfect for a weekend get away or longer vacation for three or four couples! We would love to go back and enjoy this house with more time at our disposal.
