'Mona, a name given to the house by our daughter when she could not say 'Sonoma,' is a four bedroom/four bath, completely remodeled home including the one bedroom/one bath guest house in the heart of Dry Creek Valley in Healdsburg, California.
Our vacation home sits on one acre nestled among the vines of Dry Creek Valley including its own vineyard on the property. It is surrounded on all sides by acres of vines, lavender and mountains. Please visit out new website (see below) for the complete information.
The entire house was remodeled to include a beautiful front porch running the span of the house. Four rocking chairs sit year round on the porch so you can enjoy the sunsets. , The back yard has a stone column patio and in-ground hot tub. As well, there is an in ground, solar heated pool. The pool has 2 shallow ends and stairs that run the width of the pool for in pool seating.
French doors line the front of the house from the kitchen to the living room to the master bedroom. There are three full baths in the main house - one for each bedroom. The master bedroom has a queen sized bed, the second bedroom has 2 twins and 2 trundles and the third bedroom has a very comfortable pull out couch (no bar in the middle!). All beds have high end linens.
The separate guest house is a large one bedroom with its own bathroom. There are French doors that open onto its own porch shaded by a walnut tree.
The main living room overlooks the front yard, apple tree and vineyards. There is a fireplace, flat screen TV, directtv and DVD. There is a second TV with Directv in the third bedroom and a third tv in the guest house with a DVD player. The house has WIFI as well.
The kitchen was remodeled with state of the art appliances; including a 6 burner stove. There are ample plates, glasses and kitchen tools for your cooking needs. The table sits 8 but has a leaf to expand to 10-12. The kitchen also overlooks the vineyards.
The property is surrounded by acres of Dry Creek vines, lavender, roses, and even apple trees, peach trees, and walnut trees. Just a short walk down the private country road is Dry Creek. It is truly a magical place.

wanted to find a place where my husband and i could spend a quiet few days but also include my mother-in-law. finding this most perfect house and guest house couldn't have been any more perfect. we spent 3 perfect days in healdsburg -- wineries, lake sonoma, hanging out and enjoying each other, and yet, separate enough to feel like a get away for us all. we'll be back.

I have stayed at 'Mona twice over the past several years. The first time was when my fiance surprised me with a marriage proposal (on bended knee by the roaring fire in the living room)! We spent the next day in a dream, floating around all the nearby wineries. At night, we made dinner in the huge kitchen, enjoyed the hot tub, then nestled in by the fire to watch a movie. We've only stayed in the big house, not the cottage, just the 2 of us, but we vow to bring friends in the future. The place is huge! The house feels like your own oasis. It's perfectly located to the shops and restaurants (and Oakville Grocery!) and to so many wineries, yet it's very private. It's an easy, lovely drive up from San Francisco The owners, Heather and John, take great care of the house, and made the transaction completely hassle-free. We can't wait to come back!

Absolutely a perfect get away place surrounded by vineyards. There were several members of my family that came. We spent three delightful days under the vine covered sitting area in the backyard with lots of good conversation, laughs and good wine. The yard is beautifully landscaped and the pool is delightful. I hope to come back some day soon.
