Why the Owner Chose Sonoma
Sonoma has always been one of our favorite getaway locations and now that we have this Vacation home we can get there much more often. Because of the wine and olive oil industries, the community of Sonoma seems to have some sort of festival every week. We particularly enjoy the annual Sonoma Jazz Festival. Summers in Sonoma are magnificent, winters are quite mild, and spring an fall are absolutely spectacular. There is something very special about wine country in the fall during harvest which occurs through most of September and early October.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Peace and Serenety. Our Sonoma place is only about 45 minutes from our home in Marin County but once we get there, we have left all of the regular day to day problems of life behind us and we enjoy some great peaceful times in Sonoma. Our back yard is very private and has a beautiful garden and fountain that is just great for a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and relaxation. Whenever we go we try to add one new adventure and revisit a few old ones. We are a few blocks from the world class Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa and we often like to walk over to the resort and take advantage of the great facilities they have including the wonderful Spa.
Historic town center of Sonoma. The square is a focal point for visitors to the Sonoma area. About 2.5 miles from house. There are literally over 100 wineries within a 15 to 20 minute radius of our
A beautiful resort with a world class spa. four blocks from our house.
Three of the top racing series in the country - the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series and IndyCar� Series.
Owner's Map of Sonoma
Barry is a retired executive and Bonnie is an active Interior Decorator. We bought the house with the original intention of fixing it and selling it but after we fixed it we actually fell in love with it and decided to keep it as a second vacation home. The idea of vacation rental came to us about six months later and we put it up on VRBO and never looked back. We keep a book of the before's and after's in the house and most of our guests get a great kick out of it. Bonnie is exceptionally creative in turning a house from, as we say, from "OK to Oh Wow!" The pictures of our place before and after certainly demonstrate that creativity.
