                        We had an unbelievable stay at this gorgeous home. The views are stunning in every direction. The decor is beautiful. The swimming pool is luxurious. The outdoor space is perfect for al fresco dining. This is a great place to stay with children or for an adult weekend away! You can not go wrong with these lovely accommodations! I can't wait to go back.

                        This house is stunning inside and out - well appointed, lovely details and a perfectly situated indoor/outdoor space overlooking Sonoma in every direction. The pool is absolutely perfect on a hot day, or after a tennis game on the property. My guests and I had an amazing time exploring the home, dining al fresco and spending time together cooking, relaxing and enjoying the sun. We loved playing outdoor games on the perfectly manicured, bright green lawn and were super comfortable cozying up in the great room at night. With glass walls all around, we were able to take full advantage of the natural and incredibly scenic surroundings while indoors or outside, enjoying epic sunsets and sunrises, breakfasts and dinners, evenings and afternoons - amongst the trees and wildlife high on the hill.

                        Recommended for: Sightseeing.

                        We have been here three times and look forward to coming back each year. Our children absolutely LOVE this house and talk about their fond memories of "their" Kenwood house all year long. The house and property have everything you could want; there is no reason to ever leave. It is truly one of the most relaxing vacations we have ever had with 3 kids.

                        I hesitate to write a review as I selfishly would love for this to stay a best kept secret :) However, the owners are so gracious both in the way they furnish their home & take care of their guests, that it is only fair to be honest. This home is set amidst spectacular views and optimizes them with an abundance of windows. While the setting feels remote, it is only minutes away from several wineries in Kenwood. The decor is beautiful and tastefully done, extremely clean, and the house is stocked with all the essentials to make you feel at home. The outdoor amenities are too long to list; you feel as if you are at your own hideaway resort. I couldn't recommend this wonderful & special home more highly.

                        This property is exceptional in every way. Clean, well-maintained and decorated with impeccable taste. Dine indoors or outdoors depending on the weather. We opened up the entire glass wall and enjoyed the pool activity while cooking gourmet meals in the well equipped kitchen. Ample space for everyone in your party, as listed, and every bed is comfortable! The location is wonderfully secluded yet close to everything...fantastic award winning wineries just a short drive away. But why leave this extraordinary palace? The owners are fantastic,friendly and respond immediately. I highly recommend a stay here, you will not be disappointed.

                        I've stayed here a few times. The pictures don't do it the justice it deserves. Super private and panoramic. Not too far from San Francisco, but you still feel miles away! The House and Guest House are both neat & tidy. All bedding is ultra plush. Great for entertaining groups, yet can also be super cozy. Lots to do nearby both on and off the estate. Would recommend this to any and all! As much as I love just enjoying the property and all it has to offer, the wine tasting nearby is also another fun way to spend the day.

                        This is our second rental of this home - the first was for 10 days and the second time was a long weekend - both visits were too short. Beautiful setting and views - the photos don't do justice. The property is wonderful - lawn, pool, and tennis court - thoughtfully laid out and of the highest qualities. The home is contemporary - yet warm and inviting - all done with a designer's skill and eye. Great outdoor spaces leads to indoor/outdoor living at its finest. The setting is removed enough to feel as though you got away, yet access to town of Sonoma and Glen Ellen is close enough for restaurants and activities. We've always contemplated purchasing here- yet with this home available - we're not sure why we would. Highly recommend and we'll be back.

                        This place is off-the-hook spectacular. The 360 degree views are stunning. It was very comfortable for our two families with lots of kids. This is the best place we have stayed in Sonoma and Napa.

It is the perfect place to relax, spend quality time with people you love, and enjoy the finest of Sonoma and Napa. The layout is extremely accommodating and comfortable, the design is beautiful and tastefully done, and the pool is divine. This is an outstanding property for families and small groups of friends to reconnect and celebrate life.

                        We rented the Kenwood house for our annual girls weekend a few years ago. Before that, we always changed our desitination for the weekend. But, after renting this home, we concluded we would never get a better place for the price. It is fabulous...panoramic views of Kenwood, beautiful home/grounds with all modern ammenities, close to great restaurants and wine tasting. And, the owners are a pleasure to work with. We will never go anywhere else. I highly recommend this house.
